Jasmine

A handful of jasmine Fragrant and white Brings back memories Of hot summer nights Smells of childhood Wet mud baked in the sun Chirps of crickets The hours of fun Tired, carefree days Dewy green grass Friendships that were meant To forever last The sweet smell of jasmine Carried on the winds Brings back to life Songs i'd forgotten to sing I long for the simple times When life seemed perfect And jasmines bloomed But no sad eyes wept.
