purple

in a pale painting

soft edged pallette

assumed with a blood veil

this demon of caress and gothic duress



faint you winged smile

carry not the mystery of your past to me

today the sun broke and rain fell cautiously



and upon opening my eyes

purple plaid

Amazing metaphor and imagery in these lines...I love the lines:

"in a pale painting

soft edged pallette "

Beautifully expressed

Enigmatic to be sure, but beautiful and Gothic for its lingering focus. I like how many scenarios this gives rise to in me...that is the gift box wrapped as I experience it. And I do so love the goth girls and their endearing painfulness. :) And even the notion that I've been had or "played" in plaid...how scene-gothic that strikes me, kind of club-kid coy!
