Notes About The Poem

This is the first of a series of poems about the journey of life using the concept of the seven chakras. The colours representing those chakras flow from red (the base chakra) to violet (the crown chakra). The series is inspired by the contest 'Crimson', which is of course red with some blue mixed in, to hint at purple...

The Path To Purple

The Path to Purple


Crimson chakra at the base the sacred perineum short lengths waving
              a holy colour wholesome changing mingling like an ocean crest and you

the surfer riding life with Delphic dolphins searching for answers to
         questions posed un-posed ascending let go assembled webbed together for
survival safety escape from blood tinged minefields of human aberration
             rooting in what is yet to come the rainbow pastel taming tides of passion

Red like the emperor’s clothes in nubile nudity native naivety reflected
                  shades of vibrant healthy tissues the womb the curse and inspiration
aspiring to violet the crown from simple found foundations on the road and
               swerving journey from war to peace evaporating hatred to compassion

John Hamilton July 26, 2016 at 10:39 AM You are unique, for sure, I thoroughly enjoyed this read, although tried 3 times to decipher the meaning. Any clues? Kai Michael Neumann July 26, 2016 at 11:28 AM Hi John. Sorry, I should have put a little explanatory note. Crimson is a red with some purple shading. There are seven Chakras represented by a colour of the rainbow each. The first (base) Chakra is represented in the perineal/sacral area and by the colour red. The crown (7th) chakra is violet which is quite close to violet. Becoming more in touch with the body/mind/soul, one moves (not always linearly0 from lower to higher Chakras. Thus the (crimson road to purple) XXX

Julia Ho July 26, 2016 at 7:15 AM Hmm I've never read poem like this before. I can definitely say it's unique, but not sure if it's my cup of tea, which is why I love poetry ;) Kai Michael Neumann July 26, 2016 at 11:29 AM That is great Julia. I mean that you actually say that it is not your cup of tea. I like honesty and thank you for reading my poem.
