I agree with the point about the enjambment, and some of the wordiness. Take this section:
I linger in the courtyard till midnight,
and glimpse her graceful silhouette with delight,
The fragrance of her petals is widely spread.
Right now "with delight" is used to rhyme with "midnight", but the rhyme seems kind of forced in. Whereas "silhouette" and "spread" subtly rhyme in sound and would work nicely together: "... glimpse her graceful silhouette // ... fragrance of her petals widely spread". That's just one suggestion
Thanks very much for the lovely read.
