Under The Jasmine Bower~


What is it that makes
the relationship between
you and me…
Continuous
And overwhelming?

Between the lips and the voice
Something circumambulates 
   and lends a cadence 
I believe in open relationships.
… it is realistic… honest and practical

Seeing is believing
   I say, it is about listening too
The energy spreads as we sit down
  in a garden with creepers
      of white jasmine.
Our heartbeats speak more than words…

  2. That jasmine smells very refreshing - sometimes we need to go outside and get some air so we don't circumambulate too much (great word;)

  3. Electricity? Or chemistry? Both work.

  6. Yes, heartbeats do speak the loudest...we have to listen to them as much as we listen to the words.

  8. Whether this is about two who meet beneath the bower, about the speaker and the flowers, or about the lips and the voice, the images compel me to trust the heartbeats and the openness of the relationship.

  9. The energy with white jasmine creepers certainly makes the words superfluous..the heartbeats say it all!
    I loved your poem, Panchali:)
