A Testament To Prince

A testament to Prince Prince, I saw your vision in the purple rain And in that moment, I knew you were in no more pain You graced us with your presence and filled our hearts with love With your unbounded talent That came from straight above You left us sad and broken And now we have no peace But together we will strengthen And our grief will cease Oh thank you Prince for everything you’ve shared with the human race We’ll treasure your gift of music We’ll miss your handsome face The heavens are rejoicing And there you’ve found a home And in that place you joined there You never are alone We never will forget you Your voice will never die And we will look forever Into that purple sky And so we will remember How richer our earth is Because Prince Rogers Nelson Indeed he did exist Rest well our purple angel We love you with all our hearts And we will meet in heaven And then, we’ll never part Hi there, Thanks for creating this contest! I have been with "Poetry Soup" for a couple of years now. I really love "Poetry Soup" because the comments from other poets are genuine and provide wonderful feedback. I am so glad I found Poetry Soup. The poem, "A Testament to Prince" started it all for me. I have been profoundly moved and devastated by the loss of Prince Rogers Nelson. After he passed away, I began writing poems which were dedicated to him and then eventually evolved into other subjects. I was so inspired that I wrote a poetry book, entitled, "The Microcosm of Poetry". I am in the process of completing my second book. I think my poetry has grown significantly. I have been reading works of other poets. I have also been studying poetry by reading books about it. I think my new poems have better wording and are tighter. I mainly write in lyric or free verse form, but I am always learning! I sincerely hope that you enjoy my first poem on this website. Thank you for reading my poem and entry. Sincerely, Alona Perlin.
