Exceptional A Eulogy, Song, & Tribute to Prince Of Poets and Poetry : Purple Rain Reprise by ~Dovey A Princely Poem writing prompt entry

Eulogy: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate an EXTRAORDINARY life... An electric word life, IT means forever, and that's what we just got cheated of... I'm here to tell you... we want to be WITH YOU in the afterworld... A world of never ending songs playing in our heads, ROUND AND ROUND, day and night... EYE NO that IT'S GONNA BE LONELY to DANCE ON bravely without you... We are STILL WAITING for RESOLUTION... Let us begin with a song... PURPLE RAIN Reprise The world all over now is filled with sorrow The world all over now is filled with pain We want just one more time to see you playing Just one more time let us see you Playing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Ease our pain, ease our pain Purple rain, purple rain We only want to see you Waving in the purple rain We never ever wanted to discover This hole that even time will never mend Our farewell just became forever When the angels swooped in to descend Purple rain, purple rain Ease our pain, ease our pain Purple rain, purple rain We only want to see you As tears release the purple rain We know, we know, we know Our lives are changing What can we do? We are SO BLUE... Our hearts are drawn together These scars too deep to be defined The world all seems to show it Our hearts abide in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain We always knew what you were singing about Our hearts wear your brand Purple rain, purple rain We only want to see you Only want to see you In soothing purple rain As You Step ~ INTO THE LIGHT ~ In Tribute STILL WOULD STAND ALL TIME to match your STYLE, To make us swoon, UNDER THE CHERRY MOON, AN HONEST MAN, who lived a life worthwhile, Our VENUS DE MILO, just gone too soon. THUNDER abated, YOU PLAY IN THE SUNSHINE, As the CRYSTAL BALL reflects ONE OF YOUR TEARS, MOUNTAINS crumble, PLANET EARTH is redefined, Your GUITAR silenced well before its years. SOMETIMES IT SHOWS IN APRIL imagery, That ELEPHANTS AND FLOWERS will survive, I WILL say GOODBYE, in POSITIVITY, Your DMSR memory stays alive. One of THE BEAUTIFUL ONES, CRAZY YOU; Who sang THE BALLAD OF DOROTHY PARKER, A kindred poet with a DELIRIOUS view, Your LITTLE RED CORVETTE will wow her! You two, unique as STARFISH AND COFFEE Will be FOREVER IN MY LIFE, FOR YOU, my Prince, are ONE OF US, in a DREAM FACTORY, Where DIAMONDS AND PEARLS, like tears in my eye Shimmer, THE HOLY RIVER reflecting the sky, Lamenting your WHITE MANSION -- WHEN DOVES CRY...
