Purple rain began falling
On planet Earth
The Minneapolis genius was born
Purple rain began falling
That creative year
The Minneapolis genius was born
And he is funky
That creative year
As spoken into the akashic record
And he is funky
On guitar throwing down
As spoken into the akashic record
The powerful sound
On guitar throwing down
Around the world in a day
The powerful sound
Just for you
Around the world in a day
With a dirty mind
Just for you
This set it off
With a dirty mind
Party like 1999
This set it off
With controversy
Party like 1999
As the rainbow children rise
With controversy
Behold, life is a parade
As the rainbow children rise
Beyond Graffiti bridge
Behold, life is a parade
Emancipation is
Beyond Graffiti bridge
All that glitters ain't the gold experience
Emancipation is
The sign o' the times
All that glitters ain't the gold experience
It's diamonds and pearls
The sign o' the times
Is chaos and disorder
It's diamonds and pearls
Let's go the Crystal ball
Is chaos and disorder
Within the vault
Let's go to the Crystal ball
For new power soul
Within the vault
Is fusion style musicology
For new power soul
Rave un2 the joy fantastic
Is fusion style musicology
3121, don't you want to come
Rave un2 the joy fantastic
Dance with power to hits & B-sides
3121, don't you want to come
Because lovesexy is the one
Dance with power to hits & B-sides
Or a boot legged black album
Because lovesexy is the one
On planet Earth
Prince uttered his first sound

Post a CommentTime sure does fly, doesn't it? I absolutely "ADORE" Prince - LOL. And I can imagine you performing this as a spoken word piece at a major, televised celebration paying tribute to Prince. I hope that someone in a position to make it happen is reading this!!! Awesome job!
The cadence of this poem suits the subject matter so perfectly. I see that Eclectic Muse called Prince's concert riveting. I would use that same discriptor for this poem. Riveting!
Great poem!
I saw Prince in concert! Riveting! Great job on this!
