A Flower To Auroville Mother-7

JaathiMalli, pichi, (Jasminum grandiflorum,
poet's jasmine)

What secret in slender heart laid
I wonder when you bud streaked red
In blooming retort denuded all hide
Tickled incensed you diffuse from shed

What secret in slender white laid
Wonder again when you seem wishy-washy
In bidding hurry hiss 'most aroma preyed'
Pinched faded to vanish slushy sloshy

Hmm..I sigh, wish you here again back
Wonder, back creeping high afresh anew
Leafing through your leafy six-pack
Smiling fragrant petaled five all true
