The Taste of Purple

Those who have lost vision seek definition. Does purple have a taste? Alas, grapes are not always palatable in purple. Some things leave an aftertaste that can last a lifetime. Bitterness is not majestic like magenta. Some would say opium tastes plum crazy; produced by pretty purple poppies. Creative imagination needs no such simulation. Fantasy and photography send my senses reeling; reminiscent of a reimagined yesteryear, when under the influence of a blue moon and red wine, we crooned to the pain of Purple Rain. Now I remember how purple passion tasted at twilight. Purple is savory, like a cocktail of nostalgia, and of love that never happened. Photo credit: Chris Hanson
