White Jasmine

White Jasmine
pure white soft jasmine
birth of a new tender love
thorns silently sleep

behold this glory
that enticingly lures
some fun loving bee
tasting delicious nectar
green danger cunningly lurks

true love never had a chance
green thorns blew their prickly horns
old black shadows danced along
white jasmine turned red
