Purple Home

(Look, sounds, smells, taste, and feels)

PURPLE – MAJESTIC as it illuminates propriety of a previous time covered in an IVORY lace

PURPLE – trumpets SOUND it’s presence from the church as it echoes through the GREY cobbled streets

PURPLE – sweet FRAGRANCES surround the entrance as the CORAL sun sets the view

PURPLE – windows lined with a bold and tart FLAVOR balancing the pale GREEN that frames the structure

PURPLE – awakening FEELINGS and memories connected to the past company who now communicate in BLUE thoughts

(Majestic, ivory, sound, grey, fragrance, coral, flavor, green, feelings, blue) 

The majestic ivory is a sense of history,
With muted sounds in washed-out grey tones.
It’s fragrance dulled by such beautiful coral skies,
Often most prominent by seaside.
Flavoring design and defining class,
Balancing man’s pale green structure.
To breath the feelings and memories gathered,
Bring a peaceful blue calm to reflect.
Home.
