The Colour purple.
The colour purple, luscious as velvet,
delicious to my eyes, so regal, a classic,
stimulating my senses with desire,
I want to touch and feel its richness,
I want to wallow in its warmth and aura,
so soft and comforting, so soothing.
The colour purple triggers my imagination,
creates my dreams, evolves my schemes,
surrounds my thoughts with vibrancy,
I want to absorb its vivaciousness,
I want to envelope myself in its very existence,
so dreamy, so strong, so expressive.
The colour purple, of papal notoriety,
It calms my spirit, it inspires my soul,
filling my very being with hope,
I want to keep it for all time,
next to my heart and make it all mine,
the beautiful, wonderful colour purple.

What is blue
Blue is not just a color
Gray couldn't be duller
Purple is sorrow
But the blue sky will be here tomorrow
Black
Scarlet color has passion
Blue is depression
Black has evil envy
Green- eyed is jealousy
Brass color has a person
