Being Purple

A touch of colour to a greying worldA smile under a blazing sunA flower abloom on a misty mornTo whom being itself is funA lonesome star on a cold dark nightThat makes you smile even when you're lostA friend who will give you a hand to holdAnd a shoulder that thaws morose frostLaughter that bubbles from the soulTears that well from the heartWisdom that is wrapped in innocenceLike the meaning hidden within art'Being Purple' is all of the above and more. Here is a repertoire of strong emotions, the emotions of a woman in love, denial, ecstacy and poignant reminiscence. There are times when a simple verse is all it takes to heal an aching soul - be it of the reader or the poet, this collection is a result of many such healing moments.
