My Purple Rain
Since the night that you left and bade me goodbye, leaving our precious domain;
I’ve been crying such torrents of color soaked tears, the tears of my purple rain!
These tears that flow freely now mix with the blood, that comes from the hole in my heart;
And then they turn purple and stain my lost soul, so lonely since we had to part!
You were my life, the air that I breathed, the sustenance of my very soul;
Now I am broken, I gasp for each breath, I feel I am no longer whole!
For now I’m without you, I wander and roam, not knowing where I am to go;
For you always led me to pastures so pure, with love on your face all aglow!
Now I reach out to stroke of your fur, but my hand doest only find air;
Then the sobs start again, my heart torn apart, for you are no longer there!
I look to the places where you used to lay, praying this be a bad dream;
But now they are empty, reality returns, just me is left on our team!
I look to the stars and ask of them why, so early did you leave our world;
But answers aren’t given, seems mum is the word, and into this hell I’ve been hurled!
So daily I cry for the passions we’ve lost, the ones we shall ne’er share again;
The tears that mix daily, with the blood of my heart, the tears of my deep purple rain!

My Larry, my darling, this is so beautiful that I cried along with you sweetie. I feel your pain and I`m holding you in my heart and smothering you with my love.
Nico is so special and beautiful and his soul is pure perfection. Take heart my darling that he is still watching over you from heaven and he`s encouraging you, and wants you to find the courage to survive through your writing, to help you cope without him physically there.
It is a real honour for me to be with you through your pain because I truly know what you are going through because of my own grief, and I promise that I will be here for you forever.
You are a wonderful daddy for Nico and Cody and they adore you and their mummy so much. Even though Nico has gone back home to God, he still wants you to know how much he loves you both and how happy and loved you made him feel in life. His spirit will never leave you my darling because he loves you so much, and he knows that one day you will all be back together again, just as I will with my Andrew in heaven, and we will all have a great big party to celebrate our coming home, I promise.
God bless you sweetie, this is a wonderful tribute to a beautiful little soul and he means the world to me too.
I love you both deeply my darling.

Hi My Dear Georgina,
Wow! You are drumming up sadness from so long ago. I still remember the night I wrote that poem, as I was traveling from Milwaukee to Detroit in a rainstorm. I heard the song by Prince, "Purple Rain", on the radio and started crying because it reminded me so of my Nico. I wrote down several thoughts and completed the poem a few days later. It has always been one of my favorites and I'm honored that you loved it too. I still make allusions to the "Purple Rain" in some of my current poetry.Â
All my love,
Larry
