Fragarant Oneness
* * * * * * * * * * * * *


O Jasmine !
You have bloomed
in an alien yard.
All night long
I have been enjoying
your sweet essence.

I have -
many times,
thought of sowing you
in my square.

But ,
it is stony and hard.
You are delicate and soft.
So,
You might wilt
and in an effort
to bring you nearer,
you may become a void.

That is why,
I haven't even touched you.

But the feeling of your presence
strengthens me every moment
and doesn't let me break.

O sweety !
I can't miss your sweet bliss
So..
keep spreading the sweetness.
 
It matters little about
the yard in which you sprout.

~ Chandra Shekhar ~
