My Jasmine

Enveloped by your fragrant mist
               I feel as though I’ve just been kissed
My senses now, I must enlist
                             Tempting this hypnotic tryst
I’ve not the power to resist


Innocent in sultry tones
                   Your ivory beauty now condones
Seduction of a heart it owns
                   Held captive, one of many drones


To drink of your exotic sigh
                                  The tea of an erotic high
Arouses such, I must comply


Nearing now a manic state
                              I must stop, now it’s too late


I am weakened by your touch



Now I feel that I exist
                       Not just lifeless skin and bones
I don’t have to wonder why
                            Always knew it was my fate
My Jasmine said as much

Mike, Mike, Mike ... this was absolutely superb and SO close to being a co-winner with Sandra - the demarcation between ALL the entries was minuscule, but this one was my second favorite - so romantic and tender, and stuffed full of imagery and substance! Congratulations on your placement, and thank you for entering my contest! :-)
