The Purple Reign

“The Purple Reign” by: Eric L. Boddie “I Want to Be Your Lover” is so “Insatiable” to some But I “Adore” you because the “Holy River” is where I’m from And “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man,” that’s “Scandalous” to think But I answered “The Question of U” is “Strange but True,” so don’t blink Maybe it’s this “Erotic City,” or, perhaps, it’s because she looks so good in that “Raspberry Beret” But I want to be “Somebody’s Somebody,” but she must be the “Marrying Kind” I say So “Lady Cab Driver” in the “Little Red Corvette” “Let’s Pretend We’re Married” with some “Dance, Music, Sex, Romance,” and I expect To be the “International Lover” for every “Irresistible *****” Because I Love every woman from “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” to “Billy Jack *****” Let me leave you “Satisfied” in puddles of “Black Sweat” But I “No” all that I want so “Damn U” before I forget That “Nothing Compares 2 U” plus I Love when you “Call My Name” “U Got That Look” that lures all the “Girls and Boys” just the same This “Cinnamon Girl” named “Anna Stesia” is the only one I want to call baby Even if it took “A Million Days,” I would tell her “Let’s Go Crazy” Maybe I got one of those “Colonized Minds” that will never let me say “Eye Hate U” But “One of Us” must understand that “The Love We Make” is true So if I gave you “Diamonds and Pearls” or took you “Around the World in a Day” Would you “Do Me Baby” or let “Bob George” get in the way Even back in “1999,” I was somewhat addicted to the “Pop Life” Because of a “Condition of the Heart” that made me want a “Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother, Wife” But there is “Joy in Repetition” every time we try a “New Position” And “Baby I’m a Star” so my “Darling Nikki,” you should know my intentions But the “Rainbow Children” provide the best “Sign ‘O’ the Times” I want you “Forever in My Life” because we like to “Play in the Sunshine” Because “When 2 R in Love,” there must be a sincere sense of “Trust” And when it’s not so “So Dark,” it looks like “Purple Rain” to us And that’s “When Doves Cry,” in light of our “Private Joy” Without “Controversy,” it’s the “Love Sign” I employ So “Gett Off” of that hate train, and let “Positivity” spark And if you’re “Willing and Able,” that’s what is done at “Paisley Park” RIP Brother Prince Rogers Nelson…..God Wants you In His Choir…..
