Illusions

The fantasy of a pearlescent rainbow

in the dreamscape of the sky,

Unable to reach out and touch it

but does exist within mind’s eye~

 

And if at the end of a rainbow

 there is not a pot of gold,

Because this arc will transcend

into a dream forever to behold~

 

Until the heat of the sunshine

  kisses the seductive rain goodbye,

And the pearlescent rainbow

 within the fantasy of a sigh~

 

And like a (will-o'-the-wisp)

lingering over a marshy night,

Illusions of a tender heart

wander within the moonlight~

Very beautiful Rose. The wonder that is a rainbow, I have witnessed a few this year and every time I do I feel enchanted...quite the same as your poem touches me today.

[SyberRose]

Thank you Jack...and i'm glad you enjoyed this piece this morning...:)

Illusion- it's only in the mind's eye. We just see what we intend to see.
A rainbow is usually used as a symbol of hope. Hope that the rain won't fall down with it's presence.
But here, you used it as a symbol of an illusion. Illusion that in the end, there's no pot of gold as what they always say.
Nice imagery. Well-penned as always, Rose.

*snicker*....can't help it!! I'm surprised I haven't had that captcha on one of my naughty poems!! ;-)

p-p-p-p-p-please t-t-t-turn t-t-t-he c-c-c-captcha o-o-offf R-R-R-Rose - oops sory it wasnt the captcha it was the vibrate on my cell phone.

What is an illusion Rose - you pose a really pertinent question. Do we only ever see what we want to see?
Another poem that makes us think and still immerse oneself in - like an ethereal bath
