The Purple Heart

Have you ever lived so long in the past that you felt like you were trying to hold your breath forever, just gasping for that one breath of fresh air??? This poem I wrote speaks to this truth, a time in my life when I ventured so deep into the darkness of the abyss I literally turned blue, lol. I would greatly appreciate any and and all comments, the poem is of course called "The Purple Heart". I will, as always, return the favor ten fold! Purity of the soul, journey well to all!!!

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
