Purple ice —
Flames of yellow sunshine freezing.
Bittersweet,
From golden scepter’d throne,
Red and orange leaping.
Purple ice —
Snake eyes rolling, impassioned fire.
King’s knife twists
In the ominous woods —
Autumnal bed of d’sire.
Purple ice —
Eruption of molten lava.
Melting
Of immortality,
Poppy-rusting of leaves.
Purple ice —
Once, look’d at emerald
Eyes. Twice.
Never again. Jealous
Queen preens against oak cold.
