Purple RainI 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...

The IrisIt 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 luxuryThe 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....

Purple RainSilver sentiments of loves joys and pain
Everything to loose everything to gain
Violet voice shakes when you call my name
Red heart waits in the purple rain
Hands they read what eyes can’t see
Braille book pleads come back to me
Nothing in the world entices to eat
Your passion is the only thing that feeds
Purple rain dance drives insane
Lovely romantic...

purple easter bunnyPurple Easter bunny, with your jazzy ways
Rainbow hair, and eggs painted in reds and grays
Pastel colors are not your thing, I guess
I hate to say this, but your hair is a mess...

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 RealmsOnce 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...

Purple my soft moss seat in paradise
amethyst crown purple so wise
High Priestess purpled silken silent and bold
has no need to compete with cool
Countess whose court is neat
but oh so cold !
What a sweet treat to see
ripe ripple granadilla purpled fall from tree
she made an indigo way from leafy branch
to loamy...

Purple Dreams In Other Realms - BLT Competition Entry"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...
