Violets

.

They say roses are red and violets are blue,

but then violets are more purple than they are blue.

Maybe violets are not as sad as they appear to be,

like the roses that are always radiant with glee.

You gift a rose to symbolize your love,

it’s genuine, it’s true, it’s pure like a dove.

Violets on the other hand are not as acknowledged,

I mean when was the last time someone was gifted a violet and still got applauded?

Roses wither after a living a good life,

doing it’s job making things right.

Violets don’t wither, they rot.

It seems roses are happy while violets are not.

From start to finish it ends in a circle,

Maybe violets are more blue than they are purple.

    (wonderful metaphors
    I like your creativity, and poetic ambition
    forgive me
    I couldn't help but ink a few feeble lines
    as some kind of poetic response
    thanks for sharing your art
    and inspiring us)
    our blue bruises, purple
    with time
    violet petals, darken
    when plucked from their rose
    comfort..
    we too, seek comfort
    in the pigment of our skin
    flowerbeds as our hiding place
    we strive to belong
    hoping it doesn't rain and shed
    these tattoos we use to cover
    our skin..
