Lone Purple

Garth Rakumakoe

Held up

to the bohemian philosophy

that orbits her solstice

her pen on paper

reflects in blue

but in purple she paints

 

Misconstrued

Her war is passion

in sarong, and soliloquy

with the windmills of her mind

fireplace, fine whisky

and cigarette smoke

she's as slow a molecule

as molasses

 

Her passion is war

in the rich colored violets

portrayed by her violent thoughts 

- the most intriguing -

inviting place to be

 

The lone writer

is a matured ever-blue

that fermented purple

with each page

  • peto

    I almost saw a painting form from these words
    Enthralling read
    Absolute killer last verse
    Superb writing

  • Garth Rakumakoe

    Thank you so much... She took various shapes in molding and some elusiveness in trying to cast the fluidity into image, but, I'm happy with the final end product - No more edits! πŸ˜‚. Much much appreciated, Peto! ❀

  • L. B. Mek

    stunning!
    what a feat of poetic imagery
    and abstracted eloquence
    of unfurled, insightful complexities..
    a breathtaking reading experience
    so well crafted, dear Poet
    (I read and learn)
    thank you!

    Cherished words, L.B - Never to lose significance. Humbly yours sir. ❀
