The hint of jasmine a memory of you
Rolling through my senses
Thunder after the rain
Vanilla wafts with the breeze
Combined make melancholy of memories
Betrayed by scents, my sense left, since you left
A hint of longing
I lay upon your doorstep

A poignant melancholy quadrille, Stew, and I love the way it appeals to the senses, especially the ‘hint of jasmine’ and ‘thunder after the rain’.

Hint made me think of A hint of Jasmine and I ran with it. Playing off the sense seemed appropriate.
