purple

My heart was bruised
fell from your pedestal

The red sky bleeds into the indigo sea

A hermit crab
hiding in its shell
dreading for the mermaid song

Purple – The Colour Collection

One night
the lilac candle
in the wind
tango danced with
the rose of Sharon
by my window sill

That overwhelming
sense of seduction
fractured my mind

In my sleep
purple daisies
flooded my dreams

My remaining
sense of clarity
screamed for
the purification
of an amethyst
