dripped on the stage
leather pants
and a flowing white blouse
eyeliner enhancing lashes
long and luxurious
cream colored ax hanging off to the right
as he looked deep into us all
and asked to get ***** –
I felt the pull of the purple rain early
became free to experience physical joy
without bounds
without limits
but with your
kiss –
iconic and stoic
never feeding the hype machine
but for public appearances
still driving the masses wild
with songs 20 years past their prime.....
I bought a beret today
and shed some tears
its color,
raspberry –
