Excites my life
Pours me through a change of time,
Into orbit, round the stars,
Irons my blood, speeds my mind,
Wearing Red.
Ah – donning Purple; major love – royal, too
Not for me the pallid hues
Of mauve and lilac, nice they be
Or nature’s own, the blues, or green.
Give me purple, sweater, scarf – wrap me in that tint sublime
Wondrous, liquid, colour fine
My purple life.
Magenta almost stops my heart.
Gorgeous fuchsias; purples, reds with hint of blue
Yet only slight, I’d disappear if I wore blue.
But ’genta; Oh, I love it so. I come alive. I love the part
Where people say, “That is your best, you wear it true.”
