Purple Proses For Her

Sympathetic purpled eyed Suzan
influenced by what came before it
incomplete, floundering smiles
that turn back on themselves
Feeling ultra-violated by the violet verbiage
brought into this overly dramatized relationship
Wangsting away in dull dripping dog days of youth
Sacrificing expediency on the altar of eloquence
with a vampiric overindulging buffy speech
Quoting viciously from some dreary gothic library
understanding this to be the happy place of narm
In the middle of the road an itchy scratchy nirvana
Raving rabbid arms flailing to hardcore graveous
sounds of the heavy traffic from the very busy overpass
Contemplating the lovely fashion statements
of the overly pierced china doll in a Johnny cash suit
Complicated complexions the purple is the new black or
more likely this is the misunderstanding and ramblings
of tedious ranting old man phrenetically incapable
full of nonce words readily available just to
saturate the purplish pages of this bard’s boredom
with a culturally challenged deluge of the deluginal misprint
Angry because there is nothing titillating, which rhymes
with this exhaustively exaggerated emotive purple bathos etc etc
