Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

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

Timothy Hicks October 24, 2014 at 11:45 AM 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!!

Jerry Bolton October 6, 2014 at 10:27 AM 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.
