Violet Grape Purple Envelope

                                                        Violet Grape Purple Envelope

                                                       Violet grape, fleshy and sweet,
                                            Packed with juice, sweetened by fall`s heat,
                                                   On every tongue, a luncheon treat,
                                                      Without any doubt or conceit;

                                                  Purple envelope, thin and square,
                                                     A supple secret seated there,
                                             Address scribbled by well-known pen
                                                      Awaits a tale over to hand.

                                              The grape's juice trips, a lilac stain,
                                                 A  memory carved, not in vain;
                                               The envelope opens, quite slow,
                                           Revealing words, where feelings glow.

                                              The taste of grape, a fading grace,
                                               Mirrored in the envelope's space,
                                             With purple echoes, deep and true,
                                                 A violet dream, close to blue.

                                                    Inside envelope, a letter,
                                              Of love plea, feelings free glitter;
                                              It speaks of time spent together,
                                               Of pledges made to each other.

                                          The purple fades, the grape is gone,
                                               But memories long linger on;
                                             The envelope , a silent friend,
                                            Keeps company till the dead end.

                                              Violet, purple, words entwined,
                                               Tapestry woven for the mind;
                                         Delicious grape, with time is stained
                                            But sweet words of letter remain.
