Purple Fire Poem by soren Barrett

Bougainville purple fire
blazing beauty with thorn
quenching thirsty eye's desire
tearing flesh of thoughts forlorn

Pool of petals spread on ground
flower's lacrimation shed
rippled rings of colored sound
dancing ball gowns spread

Lips of morning, grass does moisten
chewing a sweet cocklebur
white clouds of oleander, leaf of poison
beauty glistens in patterns of gossamer

Glitter in the night sky
a crescent smile
a glimmering twinkle in your eye
easing time's last downhill mile
