This is the sequel to Rainbow Part I posted earlier-
RAINBOW PART II
The splinters of glass,
Embedded in my heart
Scattered light in a rainbow
With my faith restored
Painted their brilliant hues
On my recalcitrant dreams
They, like a naughty child
Fell into a perfect line
With this swat of destiny
Lined with the jagged edge of
Your stinging barbs and thorny accusations
Riding on serrated feelings
Did you ever stop to see?
The acid burns of your silence
On my lacerated soul
See the glorious morning now
As the bitterness metamorphoses
Into a gentle forgiveness
For you created shards
Of multicoloured glass
For your own self too
And all I could feel
Was the ice in your soul
Which melted in me
My sun rose today
The glass boomeranged
Now your frozen consciousness
Needs the magic of love
Mine’s a free bird now
Forgiveness set it free
Admire it on it’s maiden sortie
It’s a woman’s flight into her essence
It’s no more a flight of fantasy!
RAINBOW PART I
Today my battered soul
Rubbed shoulders with other bodies
In a public carriage
Bruised body keeping pace
With festering feelings
And shredded love
The jostling, the pushing
Poking of the crevices in darkness
When feelings turned blue
Flowing out like rancid wine
Through vacant eyes
You travel in comfort
In swanky cars
Insufficient to carry
That inflated ego
Crimson with my blood
Your soul in hibernation
Your conscience silenced
With lure of ’I’
Someday I'll live again
My humble dwelling alive
With rippling laughter
The splinters of glass
Embedded in my heart
Scatter light in a rainbow
My child's a woman now
Her humanity my award
My soul restored
