Purple Haze Poem by cheryl davis miller
Purple Haze
Another life has passed today
lost in a purple haze.
Tears flow from family and friends
all due to a drug craze.
Haze of the craze; a moments ease
from some of life's turmoil.
but for relief the cost has been
a life of crime and toil.
A fair exchange, I ask of you
for moments of relief?
A life cut short with disregard
by purple haze, a thief.
There is no beauty in that life
no glamour can be found.
Heart sick souls that seek relief in
a purple haze are drowned.
Angels are weeping in heaven
for that which might have been;
if purple haze had never won
the war called heroine.

Every single time that I hear that song, I think of Jimi, all the celebrities, all the drug users and friends who have died as a result of drug use. What a waste! Your poem is a fitting tribute to the tragic loss of human lives. It is very worthy of Poem Of The Day! Congratulations!

A extremely thought provoking composition with a very poignant narrative. Thank you CDM.
Another life has passed today, very heart wrenching for soul to swoon, too poignant yet, a clear cut warning against drug addiction, when no one is there to bail out, thanks for sharing!
Addiction is a terrible master, leaching away all of life's treasures, and then life itself. A compelling and profound writing that serves as a powerful, poetic warning. Thank you for sharing this, and congratulations on Poet of the Day.
