Purple Rain

POEM "PURPLE RAIN" by martin gedge Underneath a cloud of tears the power and the fame a prince has fallen from the stars in drops of purple rain like love and art and peaceful signs he danced onto the set took the stage and turned the page in his little red corvette he showed the way to those who dreamed and gave us with his heart a fatal kiss and memory bliss on nights in paisley park he was unlike a common thread and went against the mold he made you feel of joy and grace when there was nothing left to hold he took of what a Hendrix brought and carved himself a groove a million strong with every song he made the people move a crazy dance a bat romance a wonder to his peers a partyman and gifted hand a genre through the years he took to every instrument to rock n' roll a lover with country pop he wouldn't stop to funk and soul a brother he was more then meets the eye and no one like him since when ever doves in heaven fly you know you'll find your prince... by martin gedge©
