The Purple

For the first time in my
life, I saw colors- not like
normal people see colors; my 

recent woman
sees colors all the time.
This morning, there was
purple splashed all over my room.
Once, in her sleep, she said
the word 'purple.'
I asked her what it meant,
she said, 'Knowledge of the future.'
I know she will try and screw this
sickness out of me; God Bless her.
What do I know about the future?
I know it looks bleak, and the
doves are crying.

Well purple is my favorite color. Purple use to be use to represent royalty or someone famous or rich. The dye way back when was expensive to make. Also it is the color that represents the third eye in chakras. There is mystery and an ethereal feel to the color purple for me and also a calmness about.

Sorry I got a bit side tracked anyway this poems sounds like a lady who loves the color and the many things it can represent also one of the lines reminded me of the song purple rain.

Poems and colors speak volumes in silence. If I can recognize the colors through someone's eyes, then what more is needed. I love this subtlety!!!

There is something really spiritual about the colour purple. It is my favourite colour. Your new woman seems to have your interests at heart. Maybe she is a healer? Maybe she sees good things ahead. Bleak futures need to get better.

Is a hell-of-a-feeling when that happens isn't it? Sometimes 'we' get trapped in a cycle 'we' just can't seem to shake. God bless those that care enough to hold tight while we sort ourselves out.

[Thomas W Case]

Yes, it is. Thanks for reading and commenting.
