Tears of Purple Passion

Melodrama Tears of Purple Passion Tears of purple passion rend the cloak of my soul in a sob act as Sobbing rain rips apart the sinuous threads of my blubbering broken heart I beat my chest in abandoned weeping lamentation, crying out in vain. Oh that the trampled, wailing, crying rose of love Could gather together her sobbing scattered petals again - Feel again her glow crushed by winter's maudlin weeping in heliotropic hues Oh that distress teardrops shed here in sobbing souls of rending grief On this windswept barren path would grow flowers in their footsteps Weeping no more, crying for joy in their miraculous transformation. Oh let Goblin slowly beat drums of broken sorrow in sobbing rising surges Waterworks of downbeats in pulsing litanies of crying blackest blackness Yet gather moaning cries as newborn jewels, treasure born of indigo Tears. 7-27-21 Sponsor: Jack Webster Contest: The Goblins Jewel Box 1
