Purple Flower Power
purple flower power…what is it?
the subtlety, openness, curiosity?
when your deep, your highness,
steeped in royalty - intact or in petals
spread under feet or on silky beds.
when your soft and pale, nearly
a romantic moonlight, ardent, timid,
yet wise on your light-fantastic-trip.
purple flower power, not red,
not white nor pink. Soothing,
your tender upon the hearth.
i’d not pay attention as much
as if you were a flame, like lips
upon lips or a pink-cherub youth.
yet you’re graceful, like a ballerina,
not on her tiptoes, but lacing up her
soft shoes, slowly, waiting for a partner.
purple flower power…what is it?
an artist’s brush, a light dusk
or dawn - but still it draws the eye.
