A rainbow

A rainbow

A Poem by fatalsymphonies

I watched you from the corner of my eye,
You wiped a glittery tear away but they were coming too fast for your warmth to
Take them away.

I pushed my chin up at my slight angle
and entranced my expression, which suddenly changed
To add that tingly sensation in which
I wasn't sure if I could cry or smile at the same time...

I saw my reflection in your teary eyes,
And blinked just a few times to gain my self realization,
But you smiled, and I
Couldn't help but see you see me
Just flying by, just soaring by.

You asked, "How do you do it?
How do you do it?"

I looked back at you, a crowd,
Hundreds of people pressing airs into my lips.

I felt the tingle arise again from deep below my eyes,
and deep within my chest,
far inside my ears... a rainbow.
I winced but smiled to say goodbye, I said back,
"For the world to see that it isn't me,"
I laughed, brushing my eyelashes away from my eyes,
my disguise.
I said,
"Sometimes it's okay to
fly alone."

Beautiful as always.

A beautiful photo and a powerful poem. I was a free climbing in my young days. I went eye to eye with hawks and eagles by error. I gave them the right away and back out the way I came in. I like the description and the positive ending. It is cool to fly alone sometime. Freedom can be very cool. A excellent poem. Thank you.

Very emotional, but not chaotic. I like the balance between thought and feeling. Beautiful poem.

That was so...fanastabulousistic.
I loved the imagery and all the emotion poured into it.

That was really wonderful. The emotion that was poured in to it was astounding (not to mention how much you put into it). I loved it.
