The Rainbow Child

Where does the rainbow end,

in your soul or on the horizon?” 

― Pablo Neruda, The Book of Questions

The colors of her kaleidoscope soul spill into the world
wherever she wanders and roams

Like satin ribbons streaming in zephyr’s arms,
she spreads her radiant purity everywhere

Painting this gorgeous earth in vivid shades
of rose-red, blue, green, and sun drenched yellow

She wears them with pride in a vibrant long dress
a sweet rainbow child singing, spreading love everywhere
as brilliant arced rainbows dance in her long hair

Imaginary Garden with Real Toads: Weekend mini-challenge- Take a chance and step into the Mythical Realm

Hallows Eve

What
terror
awaits this
mysterious
Hallows Eve, screams of
bewitchment, charms abound
as cold sliver of moon shines
harsh baying of the hunter’s hounds
hot on the trail of feasting creatures
delighting in delicacies of flesh

Smitten

Frank Dicksee- Wikimedia Commons

And I say to you there is no truer truth
than a love that withstands the ravages of life,
for a heart that loves in trying times is the truest of them all

And he who possesses a brave heart, with a warrior’s spirit fights
the noble fight with savage might to strike, to smite
those hateful enemies trying to extinguish his true love’s light
but they will not win for his loyalty will shine on into eternity
And she, loved by him, her ever faithful mighty knight
will be forever smitten with him as he fights for her with fervency
