Purple

I smell no Jasmines, Daisies or Geraniums this Summer

Nor my soul desires an ancient amphora

Crimson riddles my skin

My mind is an Amethyst.

An Amaranth a fixed star; an amulet

To which my neurons  ebb and flow.

Purple radiates in shades

Violet Veins. My palpitations are magenta.

My heart is a deeper shade of purple. This summer.

Like a wound under a microscope.

 I long to plot the anelemma of my thoughts

Protons in blue and electrons in amber.

Yet purple dominates my neurons like a clumsily drawn  tube map.

In my mind, a soft ray of violet makes a lemniscate

Other colours, smells and senses, an oblivion await.

 

* This is an exercise in one colour :)

I feel I have read some of your work on another site, (if I am wrong then please accept my apologies) I was in awe of it then and my reading of this your latest poem is just as impressive. I like your style of writing although I would not be inclined to copy it as I believe all poets have their own unique way of writing. 

Congratulations on a superbly crafted poem.

Lovely. Are you going to do any more colour themed poems? I may try Silver sometime.
