Purple Parents

An only child of purple parents is

Its own hue.

A father of inherent vermillion,

Opaque in his brilliance,

Inverts nature and turns the air black,

An unparalleled richness.

He flushes natural shades of crimson,

His own essence on a scale

Blessed to treasure his emotional measurements,

Lacking sleeves to display his scarlet heart,

Scarlet in its styled sacrifice,

For boxes of sentimental wine.

His fire tenses when

He sings a cherry tune

And his rubies form my passion,

A soul, cerise in creation

A boon of royalty and sapphire in

Its shade of wise integrity calls

Whilst my mother, a transparent, frosted glow to shadow winter’s light, challenges a father.

And navy in her entrance, she quietens her surroundings,

Melancholic with a resilient sheen and

A confidence that can only stem from a cerulean heart.

While she weeps azure tears for her stony countenance and judges

So that she can continue to be

Graceful in a dance of tired ascendance,

And juggling her teal thoughts,

Dangerous in its honesty

She tries to enter her cyan state of cruel introversion and

She returns with a sky of peaceful caricature, so

As she floats along with a soft rhythm

Warm only in a connection of static energy;

Cobalt in design and purple in me.
