White Is Your Jasmine

White is a pigeon
And the snow at your window
White is your jasmine
Leading me towards tomorrow

White is the bubble
In your rippling pool
Where the shadows ample
Assemble in a poetry wool

White is your marshmallow
A music of your white palm
Your drumsticks sweet and slow
In my blue dream a pink  balm

White is the diamond
In your sparkling smile
A white hibiscus beside the pond
The charm travels a mile

When the yellow larks dance with you
A thousand roses bloom
In your river an explosive hue
The Harappan horses in the bedroom

From our white shower drops
A pulsating white bud blossoms
We return to the white prayer queue
Smiles the microcosm

Hahaha ... They are my fav too ... I mean the metaphor ... Horses we may come across in this sense in many poems of famous poets ... but the shower drops arrived spontaneously in my finger tips and onto the key board ... Thanks for liking the poem, Kim

I loved your examples of white in your poem Probir..you make a clear point about the purity in white, staying away from race.
