16 Shades of Purple | Dr Gayathri V Nair

One starry night I saw a PURPLE dream

Of LILAC skies and the shimmering sea,

An IRIS moon with the perfect gleam

And the brightest LAVENDERS surrounding me!

Enchanting was this HEATHER fantasy of mine

Drenched in MAUVE, a sight so sublime

Lost in a world painted in SANGRIA wine

A lone ORCHID caught between space and time.

The land was filled with MULBERRY blooms

And the eternal rivers reflected PERIWINKLE hues.

Soon it was dark with the AMETHYST mountain fumes

And the HAZE crept up obscuring my views!

So was the end of this BOYSENBERRY dream

And I descended from the INDIGO empyrean with glee

For I took a HELIOTROPE from near the stream

To replace the CRIMSON rose bound inside me!
