Be My Love: A poem based on Alice Walker's The Colour Purple by Supriya Kiran

I again wrote to God about this baffle

May be it seemed to him a trifle.

I lost the hope

Didn’t try to cope.

On one fine day

My eyes met with sparkling eyes

Eyes full of love

Eyes full of care

The moment was freezed

I found my letters answered

The eyes made me realize my worth

Now I no longer accept what is put forth

I realized love was not Albert

Love was Shug “Shug Avery”

Who made me me live life in my way

She made my life

I made her my wife

Now I carry love in my bones

Light in my smile

Now I’m not silly

Only Celie “happy Celie”
