A fingerprint in purple paint( added years later )
is not visible on this
day of days a thing tangible
as a soul made visible
in deep purple.
The photo also fails to convey
your lip's softness
the kiss's smell of Chardonnay & menthol ciggies.
Sweet sweat trickling into eyes wide open
our breaths mingling.
I take in all the photo elects
to leave out.
The kiss hidden now
by death... ...the death of days
and that infamous famous purple fingerprint.
Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14, is a song by Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed and published in 1915 as the last of his "Fourteen Songs", Op. 34. Written for high voice (soprano or tenor) with piano accompaniment, it contains no words, but is sung using any one vowel (of the singer's choosing). It was dedicated to soprano Antonina Nezhdanova.
