Lady Purple Feast

for color purple contest

 

Two lovers rub

over a rainbow’s bend

red and blue in swirling romance

tango in a colorant dance

the Chroma God’s allow their love

and a cherub birth of color stirs

endless fields of plum trees erupt

like opal ambers bursting radiant flavor

savory color salivates the eyes

desiring to swallow a bite by mere sight

the juicy pulp sticks in your vision

like tiny grains of watery sand

palpitating purple pleasure

thumping your tongue

the taste tangs the sky

dilating hurricane eyes

pinching volcanic nerves

and suddenly the vibrant color emerges

electrified above all others

A violet glacier overflows the full moon light

And night concedes to the creamy splatter

of swirling purple

the clouds drip phlox flower liqueur

a beauty the air could not resist

catching every liquid petal in a misty spray

falling gracefully from the kiss of wind

it’s a drizzle of warm glaze

a cataract purple haze

the sweet shade of lilac pale

on quivering lips

the touch of our Lady Purple

emanates incandescent finger prints

highlighting the world

and the earth celebrates

her vibrant essence

in her feasting symbol

of the noble soul in life

I bow to the Master Chief

for confection of her color

and the painter’s pallet

for remembering her

our Lady Purple

a satisfying supper

for our eyes

Author's Note

this took a lot of effort, but i enjoyed the challenge. Purple is one color I never would have tried to create a poem around if not for this contest.

key: Cherub- basically an angelic child
chroma- purity of color
phlox- obviously a type of flower, I just wanted to point out yes it's color is purple
and i added "of the noble soul in life" because purple's color meaning is noble/spiritual

I like this overall message. The ''love can do anything'' undertones were nice--plus I like purple. ;p I'd look a little bit at word arrangement, but over all you did a bang-up job here.
