RAINBOW PART II

 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
