Down the Primrose Path

Down the Primrose Path Beautiful and pleasant summer evening away from the madness among the yawing breath of brilliant sunset. Slow ease moving lilac mood of twilight, welcomes me dreaming. Lost in my steps, neglecting to listen to my inner wisdom, knowing the view. I had walked through mingling hues of colour and fragrance of the sprawling botanical gardens, before in silence. Under a shaded distance, on a wooden bench, I had sat and watched people interactions, it got to be a habit. A bit insane forgetting the through unseen hush whirs. It flutters its looks among green ivy's deepest hollow, while lamppost light cast shadows in darken absence, till morning light. To be lost in steps, led down through a primrose path clutch, to many unspoken crimes among those that have happened within, not one knows. 2/6/2020 Pick A Title, Vol 13 - Lyric - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh 3.

Congrats, Eve. I enjoyed reading this. I think it would have a great 'oral reading or singing sound'. Curtis
