I can taste the color purple
I can taste the color purple trickling down the back of my throat
 And feel the unraveling scent of a used bar of soap
 
 I hear the way your hair curls as it twirls around my finger
 And smell the warmth of your laughter as it dances in my eyes
 
 People call me foolish or dillusional for describing what isn’t there
 When all you have to do is open your eyes as if light were penetrating them for the first time
 
 Smell sweet roses
 Wrap yourself up in a simple embrace
 Hear the birds chirping in the morning
 Taste the cool snowflake on the tip of your tongue
 
 Learn to appreciate the little things in life
 Live like there is no tomorrow
 Explore every experience there is with all your senses
 For no sense and experience is mutually exclusive
 Paint your rainbows in the sky
 
 You can taste the color purple
