Inspired by the beautiful song PURPLE RAIN by Prince.

My small tribute.

RIP

Darkness befalls about me Upon the heaviness of my heart Pain drips from my every pore Bleeding tears of loneliness To rhythms of the purple rain Aching for love you took from me When you disappeared so suddenly Burning for that honey exhausted dry To fill gaping trenches in my soul The one remedy that would ail me Heal the ache I feel for you With every ounce of my being Longing thirst for your essence Your smile your voice Craving the warmth of you In this purple purple rain AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on April 9, 2020 for contest STRAND POETRY PICK 6 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on March 15, 2019
