Carol Mitra Poet Free verse

Scent of Jasmine

Let me bathe in your light, Oh moon
Said the Jasmine tree dressed in white
And let the darkness surround us
Your light and my perfume
Let our bodies entwine tonight
Under the cover of the sky
A quiet light that engulfs you and me
Surrounding you with the heady scent 
of my bloom as we lose each other 
In a swaying breeze of light and perfume.
