An Evening Primrose In Your Sleep

I wanna be the mild fragrance of an evening primrose gentle and sweet beneath your sheet Cluster of petals which bloom pink blossoms to wither softly into your sleep Tell me... What is the colour of your night ? Do you need me by your side? Let your window slightly open Call the wind to breeze me in Let your candle slowly burning Feel me swaying deep within Tell me... What is the colour of your night? Do you need me by your side? Don't be lonesome Don't feel blue I will always come to you Perfumed scent wafting your way till stars birth first dew of day And when the sun sets once again its last flame upon the stream I slip slowly 'neath your pillowcase Evening primrose in your dream

This sounds like a most pleasant way to sleep with the smell of primroses on your sheets. "till stars birth first dew of day" << have you ever seen stars in the mountains at the break of dawn? They are the most beautiful at that time!!

Dear Charma, We all "need" you! Your poetry awakens feelings I thought were forever lost. Please never doubt how much we care for you. I've been ill, but am trying to hold my own until my sister comes by in November. I may move in with her. It always brightens my day to hear from you! Love, Carolyn

Ahhh . . . Such exquisite writing and sensuous to the nth! The refrain of "Do you need me / by your side?" after asking what color was his night makes me believe the color of his night, without you at his side, would be grey, grey, grey.
