Purple Rain
I can be a headache. A match lit at 1,000 degrees. I'm sorry I never meant you any harm. Even if I inflicted pain and made you bleed. Allow me to minister the band-aid to your arm. I believed in you to perform all of your glories We all as people have dreams within It sucks that this...

It stands tall proudly pointing to the sky reaching high toward the sun with hints of purplish blue peeking through Buds open ever so gently cautious shy and humble unsure at first of their regal stature unaware of their innate majesty The iris parades its generous petals ample and graceful floating graciously with carefree elegance Poised amidst the garden the iris is remarkably unaware of its astonishing beauty...

Please Parse The Metaphor
Do you have a poetic licence to park your pitiful purple prose (alliteratively he wrote) it even puts my poor feet to sleep and gives me painful coma toes (literally did he quote) And have you paid your syn tax to persist in paltry poetry (a non sequitur perhaps) as dabbling in sad scribbling is how your paean 'ppears to me (no storied scripts mere scraps) Before...

Purple luxury
The true dawn of dreams that lingers like twilight’s kiss. Luxury’s revels draped in a regal cloak’s hush. Crowned with velvet robes of night’s elegant embrace, with a mind and soul brushed in amethyst’s true grace. A whispered silence that softens nature’s mystique— the sweet wine of life savored at twilight’s last glow. A solitude hymn composed for an empress’s smile, like a meadow’s grin filling an ocean’s wide sigh....

The Purple Mark
The stained digit, a purpled declaration, a temporary badge of civic duty. A single press, a moment's commitment, indelible ink blooming on the forefinger, a mark that resists casual erasure. It speaks of participation, a voice cast into the collective hum, a small act with potential consequence. This purple smudge, a shared symbol across nations, a visual testament to a fragile democracy. It will fade, day by...

Purple Dreams In Other Realms
Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see, dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace, she shone like the midnight sun; I must confess, she looked rather whimsical, sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore! Her eyes sparkled with spiritual wisdom, lips trembled a whisper of secrets, She...

Interview with the Color Purple
"Tell me, Purple, do you envy your sisters? Do they envy you in the shy morning mist? " “Pink-Dawn and Day-Blue, both cheerful and pretty, paint the wide sky in sunlit visions. I bruise the clouds and make them weep with rain - to turn the grasses green. I envy them not, nor they me. We each take turns to paint the...

"My dear fairy, for whom do you wait, that time patina green your copper hair so it may match that door?” Though I knew, t’was you, dear friend, for upon your stoop she perched, Arms a-droop so queenly by folds of her skirt, Wings aloft as if they might drift off on a ray of sun Lo, the fairy turned...
