Three Triolets in Purple

Girl with Purple Eyes

Her eyes of purple and green hair,

her lonely heart's lost colour, blue,

she didn't fit in anywhere,

her eyes of purple and green hair

they found her strange, but didn't care,

the same together, passing through,

her eyes of purple and green hair,

her lonely heart's lost colour, blue.    

The Purple Flower  

I should have left my flower there,

but waited til the crowd had gone,

I brought my purple petals where

I should have left my flower there

my wilted words just made you stare,

love dreamed for years, my silence long,

I should have left my flower there,

but waited til the crowd had gone.    

Purple Worms  

Be silent, nothing should be said,

this quiet frees a mind to think,

I think the slow thoughts of the dead,

be silent, nothing should be said

worms sleep beside me in my bed,

earth's kindness answers, soil sinks,

be silent, nothing should be said,

this quiet frees a mind to think.
