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.

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