     On that morose rainy evening, my room was full of fragrance of moistened 
     jasmine coming from my garden mesmerizing us. Both of us were aware  : this was our last
     meeting. We were sinking in deep dolour. With gracious  gait you walked away in hesitant mood. 
     While  stepping slow, you threw a modest momentary glance with your natural elegance, but 
     didn’t speak a single syllable. Suppressing your feelings, you turned your face just once and 
     walked away. I’m not sure, whether I noticed a tear drop glistening at corner of your eyes.
     I couldn't guess what you tried to speak something at time of adieu.

                                 your silence to mourn
                                               forever with redolence ~
                                                                of rain - soaked jasmine…..
