AROMA OF A BAY TREE

The bay tree let go of her scent.

To an evening breeze who spent,

All of her humour in a little

Tryst enlivening, nothing bitter

Should taste of the gift of roses,

Given when shy silence encloses,

The heart of two,

Meant to ensue,

The adventures that love  may,

Bring to them, that pass that way.

    Nicely done. It has the feel of a myth about it.
