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.

death, dreams, fear, love, scared, tears

I had a dream

and you were there;

I didn’t feel love,

but I did feel scared.

Oh so watchful

by your guarded gaze;

it was not love

that kissed the days.

I am a fool!

For all these years,

you don’t love me

or my wasted tears.

You are too scared

of what might be.

You have litte regard,

or respect for me.

It is all clear

and I see it so;

so why can’t I

just let go?

I’ve made you Master

to my slave.

It’s just the power

that you crave.

This will not end

of that I’m sure,

until one of us

is no more.

Standing in the shadow of this mood

no longer ruler of my emotions;

visited by ghosts of a bygone age

I cannot shake the stardust from my eyes.

The silence is deafening.

The memories blinding.

With heavy heart and a trail of tears,

I dream the dreams from all those years.

The diamond flash of a smile or a look,

the scent of a memory.

What will be?

Will it be at all?

A roller coaster ride of life,

not knowing what to expect;

not knowing how I’ll react.

You see the sun, but inside I’m the moon;

do you not see the mask behind the veil of tears,

do you care or even contemplate the consequences –

of doing nothing?

Within my mind I see your face,

still haunted by the sound of your laughter,

recalling the warmth of your sweet embrace.

All these I carry within my heart.

See my head turn as I hear your name,

watch my heart break when you touch my dreams,

the tears that burn with the memory pain.

All these I carry within my heart.

My lovely, lovely, paramour.
