Avoiding Rainbows

you tell me.

curved lines avert your eyes.

from what you were meant to discern.

 

brave,

lonely,

bold enough,

to test

your treacherous waters,

for your love;

only to be thrown overboard.

and abandoned

 

where

 

the rainbows cast,

every color upon

this shipwrecked sailor;

a lovely illusion

that only i can see.

 

look towards the horizon,

where the

sea and the sky may kiss.

that is where i belong.

and now i know that

your arms were never

a place

that i could have called home.

"look towards the horizon,
where the
sea and the sky may kiss.
that is where i belong."
what do u mean by this? I think the horizon symbolizes all forms of illusion which appears to be love in this case. The sea and the sky only appear to meet and kiss when in fact, they never--they just create a lovely spectacle, an illusion. If that's where you belong, then I guess you're trying to convey that (his) 'love' is not a thing for you.
Again, rainbows are just an illusion. Lovely poem. Lovely imagery. Wise use of words. Awesome flow.

Wonderful section, wonderful poem in general! Flawless spacing completes the metaphors and imagery your words paint. Keep writing!
