The Labyrinth

Swallowing 
My timidity 
With a long 
Shot of puff 

Amidst a sea of Jasmines
Sitting on wooden vases 

Rippling
The smile 
I hardly wear 
With warm 

Swaying lips-- so tender
Yet, as I dragged myself 

To outlast 
The whims 
Of doubts--
Inside me

My mate came, with question 
Marked on her face, in protest
