Read the words Slowly I placed a rose besides her head The thorns were gone the rose was dead She sleeps within my minds unfold It is a story never told. She was a phantom of my thought A dream a lonely mind had wrought A fantasy in Shangri-la Beyond the stars, beyond the far I’ve tied a knot around the seem A bide of ghost around the dream And there the spirit waits desist Before the exit of exist And yet I cry a lonely tear She was the essence of my steer The answer to my rue and strife She was my inner bloom my life For me her sense forgave the toll In the voyeur of my soul |

I think you need a little cheering up after a night like that! I do not believe that giving your phantom lady a dead rose would bring her back to you, so I am sending a dozen of the most beautiful and fragrant roses! Give these to her and this will awaken her spirit and your nights should surely become sweet again!  Dream happy! Be happy! Huggums, EA |

Sy, let's revive all that flower-power... step in seam through nighttime hours for the rose has lost its only thorn and Randy's got him a brand new horn... |
