Arcobaleno

It all depends on perspective...a rainbow or something more?

I stood waiting and wondering

How far could your gaze reach?

Could you see…

 

The infinite row of roses

Colored with passionate red

They bloom.

 

Let Helios rise and shine

As the orange band of fire burn

I dare touch your warmth

 

Against and guarded by the fire

Golden treasures lay present

For the eyes to feast and admire

 

I spy the emerald vastness

A forest

Full of mystery and life.

 

A river of blue magic

Alive and moving

It heals me.

 

Blurred and hidden.

An illusion between melancholy royalty

I neared the sparseness of indigo dye

 

Do I dare meet such beauties?

Dressed and wrapped with violets

Fleeting and fickle nymphs.

 

I turn to you and ask

“A rainbow.” You answer

So much for the human imagination.

I love this piece, it's magical, felt like I was on a magical mystery tour. So much beauty to behold, bestowed with perfect imagery. So many lines I love....

'Let Helios rise and shine
As the orange band of fire burn'
such strength and warmth

'Dressed and wrapped with violets
Fleeting and fickle nymphs.'
that to me is fantasy and truth perfected into imagination.

Beautiful....

Thank you very much for the review Frieda. I'm glad you like it... this was written during one of those whimsy moods so it got a bit colorful... ^_^

arcobelano - beautiful word :) i love rainbows. VIBGYOR - you came in the reverse order , starting with red, loved the description you gave to each colour , it made them look even more beautiful , wonderful images - i almost sighed :)

[fiery-san]

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. It's in reverse? Really? It;s always been ROYGBIV for us in my school. ^_^

[The Dreamer]

really? - its VIBGYOR in our schools :P, maybe because vibgyor is easier to pronounce as a single word than roygbiv! k so there is no such thing as reverse and forward when it comes to rainbows :P - now thats resolved :)

[fiery-san]

Yeah, apparently, you can look at it in any way you want. ^_^

[The Dreamer]
