Badge of Purple

by Cinnamonspice   Aug 22, 2011


Swimming into the
gray of days end,
she visits secret reverent
passages of
violet hues.

Dark tunnel of shame
bestowed upon sweet
innocence of youth
advertise
abuse.

No light penetrates
the blanketed despair
or swift evanesce of purple
that flush
from assault

Revenge and justice
hang like braided vines
menacing her future.
Reaching for the gun
she takes back
control
of her fate

Wishes morph to tears

BANG

"And silence sounds no worse than cheers / After death has stopped the ears." E.HOUSMAN

    A very powerfully worded dark poem, conveying thoughts of a dark time revisited to the reader, I presume, ending with thoughts of revenge and justice using a gun as a symbolic weapon - I as a reader, can feel the inner anguish, anger, and a need to avenge a wrong. ......Let the healing begin, wrongs will not go unpunished in HIS kingdom. Poetry is a good outlet to vent. So 5/5.
