The poetry of Asani Charles

Category: Remembering Prince Rogers Nelson

  • Once upon a time in my girlhood, I changed my name to Paisley and wholeheartedly believed my Prince Charming would find me bearing roses and my raspberry beret. We’d marry and make melodies in a purple mansion and grow wise and beautiful as Mr. and Mrs. Nelson. That was a long time ago but still the tears run deep without ceasing. I will not say good night but instead, sleep well with your beloved.

    Prince Rogers Nelson June 7, 1958- April 21, 2016
