This poem delves into the speaker’s admiration and reverence for a woman whose beauty and spirit are depicted through rich, evocative imagery. The speaker views the woman through “spiritual lenses,” suggesting a deep, soulful connection and perception that goes beyond the physical.
The woman’s heart is described as “violet” and “resembles a diamond,” combining the rarity and preciousness of a diamond with the mystical, regal qualities of the color violet. This duality highlights her unique and invaluable nature. Her spirit, compared to a “chandelier illuminating in a mansion,” suggests a bright, radiant presence that lights up her surroundings with elegance and grace.
The comparison of her soul to the “Salvator Mundi piece of art” further emphasizes her rarity and exceptional value, likening her to one of the most famous and expensive artworks in the world. This metaphor underscores the idea that her essence is one-of-a-kind and highly treasured.
The speaker refers to her as the “seductive violet,” capturing the allure and magnetic charm she possesses, which causes men to “riot” over her beauty. This vivid imagery portrays her as a figure of great desire and admiration, whose presence on canvas (possibly metaphorical for her impact on the world) leaves a powerful impression.
Despite the attention she garners, she is described as “grippy towards my kingship,” indicating her loyalty and attachment to the speaker. The term “kingship” conveys a sense of protection and authority, suggesting that the speaker feels a duty to safeguard her from “thirsty vultures”—a metaphor for those who seek to exploit or harm her.
In summary, the poem paints a portrait of a woman whose beauty, spirit, and soul are portrayed with luxurious and rare imagery. It emphasizes her profound impact on those around her and her special connection with the speaker, who is devoted to protecting her from those who might not appreciate her true worth.

This poem explores the relationship between talent and the pursuit of artistic excellence, emphasizing that talent alone is insufficient for achieving greatness. The narrator begins by recognizing that merely possessing talent does not guarantee the ability to create enduring, impactful art (“Talent isn’t never enough when you trying to make the artistry infinitely blush with my paint brush”). The metaphor of making artistry “blush” suggests a desire to evoke deep emotion and beauty through one’s work.
The “artistry in human form” serves as a personified muse, offering wisdom to the artist. It acknowledges the artist’s ambition but reminds them of the limitations imposed by time (“you can’t infinitely make me blush your limited within time”). The muse asserts its own infinite nature, contrasting the temporal constraints of human life with the boundless essence of true art (“I am infinite and beyond this life”).
The imagery of a “golden brush in the hand of the divine” elevates the concept of art to a sacred level, suggesting that the ultimate form of artistry is a divine act, beyond human reach. This underscores the notion that human efforts, while valuable, are inherently limited.
The poem concludes with the muse advising the artist that talent must be complemented by other qualities: “time, perseverance, and consistency.” These elements are essential to maintain and refine even a small part of true artistry (“Will help you keep a small fragment of me sharp and refined”). The message is clear: artistic mastery requires ongoing dedication and hard work, not just innate ability.
In summary, the poem beautifully conveys the idea that while talent is a crucial starting point, it is the combination of persistent effort and commitment over time that allows an artist to truly capture and sustain the essence of their craft.
