Jasmine

via Daily Prompt: Scent

As I pass by my neighbor’s abode

Am greeted by a divine scent

Intoxicating and exuberant

Fills my senses

Unleashing me from the stress

Of my sublunary existence

Transporting me to a heavenly egress

Of exotic and exquisite fragrance

Oh jasmine the queen of the night

May not find place as a lover’s token

Or in a garland or a bouquet

But your aroma is beyond compare

A constant source of delight

To the hominine race.
