Rainbow transience
ephemera of the mind,
love intransigent
no respect of time.
Shimmering splendour
the summer of our life.
Majestic magnificence,
cutting with a knife.
What tantalising trickery
deceiver of our sight,
fleeting, sneering, mockery,
obsessional opulent light.
Delightful and delusional,
experienced by all.
Impermanent illusion,
to trip and then to fall
Cloud burst emotions
pour down like summer rain.
Refractive reflections,
the eternal lovers’ pain.
