Love is Orchid Rare
In the purple rain
Hard and cold as amethyst
A heart full of pride
A magenta mind
Plumbs depths of depravity
Brain dense as eggplant
Rich burgundy soul
Seeks mulberry vanity
And lilac visions
Lusty lavender
Leads to pomegranate stains
Violets can't hide
Bruises like sunsets
Maroon drops of grief distilled
Crimson stains the wood
As a grape is crushed
Heaven's royal majesty
Sweet communion wine
Imperial sealed
In the periwinkle twilight
The stone rolls away
The Prince of Peace reins
Scarlet bride can now wear white
Love is orchid rare
Seriously... I'm enjoying your poetry. I read it, I read it again and then again. So many layers.
