Shades of Purple
flesh of pomegranates
of grapes
of figs
it is in the taste
petals of lilacs
of lavender
of lupine
it is in the smell
shades of sunset
of sunrise
in the heat of summer
it is in the light
pale skin full of bruises
of makeup
of ink
in the darkness of night
it is in the flesh
of grapes
of figs
it is in the taste
petals of lilacs
of lavender
of lupine
it is in the smell
shades of sunset
of sunrise
in the heat of summer
it is in the light
pale skin full of bruises
of makeup
of ink
in the darkness of night
it is in the flesh

I enjoy the color purple and this fine poem. The lupins, Amethyst, far off galaxies, etc., enjoy your admiration.
