Reaching For Rainbows
By maliceman
A total lack of grammar
I
stutter and I stammer
I cannot look you in the eye
Is this hello,
or is it goodbye?
You're like a rainbow in the sky
A beauty
that won't defy
But there is no pot of gold
This feeling is getting
old
You are so close, and yet so far
I reach, but I don't
know where you are
Maybe I should just turn my back
Walk away
from what i lack
As i walk i hear a whisper
I turn around,
the sound gets crisper
The rainbow sent a calling
I reach up,
and now I'm falling
Orange,
Purple, Green,
Blue,
and Red,
Am I in love or am i dead?
And then suddenly,
I awake
On a raft, floating in a lake
I look above, at
all those colors
Mocking me, the unknown lover
I paddle hard,
I reach dry ground
I hear the calling, I ignore the sound
Love is patient, Love is kind?
Love is making me lose my mind!
And now I know this love feels wrong
So this is it, obsession gone.

Go for it or you will always wonder about "what might have been"? (the saddest words ever penned) - excellent metaphor for an aloof and unattainable obsession.

Wow... this is beautiful. Moved me to the point of tears actually. I can relate so well to this poem. It's scary actually that I thought of myself as soon as I read this. Thank you.
