Invisible Thread

Tendrils of jasmine

Crowded together

Flowing over themselves

Lovers entwined

Trailing heavily

Down the crumbling wall

The sweet scent overwhelms me

Triggers a memory

I just can’t quite grasp

Something drifting just out of reach

Circling me in the darkness

Like a ripple

Gently erodes sand

And in time, reveals pearls

That were once hidden from view

The fragrance is silken

An invisible thread

That ties me to you love

The breeze winds it around me

Over and over

In an intimate dance

And I feel your heart calling

Pulling me ever closer

To your arms
