Quietude
Quiet are the hyacinths Underneath the snows Irises and violets Even the red rose Today are lying silent Underneath the snows Daffodils and lilacs Even the red rose....

unintended innuendo
Season of violet grief A day of navy oaths The weather a dim pink hush— ghosts of past, my muse. I accidentally wrote a letter scrawled on pale paper— Guess, my June, what spills forth when your blade slips through— —not me, the envelope. Perhaps a carol, yes— or an oration (how proud I was!)— or— no, not that— —perhaps just a thin red thread, words sealed in...

Violet Haze
Violet Haze (Sequel to The Raven) You twirl your hair like Death indeed, And like to sit back and watch my poems bleed. My love and sorrow, all for you, You know I never slink out of the blue. But now I wonder all along, If Death is actually you, my dear. And who am I to...

From crushed violets rise a sweet, gentle sigh, Their scent teaches grace as they reach for the sky. In the face of our pain, love’s essence remains, Forgiveness blooms softly, washing away stains....

Premium Member In the twilight of a violet sunset, when my soul dons veils of melancholy
In the twilight of a violet sunset, when my soul dons veils of melancholy, I sit alone, surrounded by phantasms and unspoken words, whispering ancient incantations, My verses, silk threads woven from starry tears and lunar sighs, Rise towards the celestial vault, carrying the secrets of my troubled heart. Poetry is my hidden kingdom, a crystal citadel buried in...

Blushed rose shaking hands with hues of cerulean, bluish sighs in pinkish alibis, softly whispering to the lilacs, gently blowing, through the winds of amethyst, a vision of majestic promises, poetry on the lingering feelings of a light, poured out on the soul who can see past yesterday, into tomorrow’s plum, rose-tinted tendrils, graceful, surrendering to the seas, drifting out to believe, intimate waves, soothing...

Violet
A purple temperature within my gloves— For this night, the bleak snow is on and on, Which I am gathering your meaning of— For our knit in-between is slowing, gone. I'm to your losses; snowflakes lavender, And straddling the fence, the timbre aches— On your mauve dress, redeeming ice sheets turn; In such moments, solid again, we're made. My own part in skies—...

A STUDY IN VIOLET
A STUDY IN VIOLET This treasure house of objets d’art Littered with plots and storylines A room encrusted with jewels of history Inviolate – and undisturbed. Over there, a military tunic Blue – and in such fine condition. Pale lapels perhaps too remote or innocent Of its vile ‘let them have it’ past. Here, an abandoned symphony Black notes pebbledash the page. Written for that ancient...
