If rainbows were forever

If rainbows were forever

A Poem by Ibidun

IF RAINBOWS WERE FOR EVER

The dark night chased the sun away

Clashing shadows emerged as I watched its last ray

A stormy wind waited patiently

Behind the dark clouds arrows of lightening strode gallantly.

If rainbows were forever then where do they lie?

At night when the cowards slumber

 In the rims of the sky

 

The first rain drop I felt made me shiver in the cold

The old men had their paddy hats on resting strong and bold

Old nannies held umbrellas, with children in their hands

The forecast said it showered in summer hinterlands

As luck will have me hither a young cabbie walked on by

Dear dame, do come in thither Well thanks, I chuckled and stepped inside

 

It rained and poured two hours long

The splashes chorused as thunder sang a song

Enchanting night with Christmas lights

The songs, the cold and no frost bites

If rainbows were forever, I’ll gladly sing a song

Come thither now my lover, as the cabbie that night had sung

 

The air was filled with the musk of him

Fresh oranges, bitter sweet as they come

My lungs exhaled with his shallow theme

Fresh oranges, bitter sweet as they come

If rainbows were forever, I’ll kiss that cabbie’s lips

For passion does birth pleasure sweeter than honey drips

 

The silent cold did pass away

As thundering made its final sound

And out of the cab I went that day

Where neither passion nor pleasure was found

But rainbows did break sunder

The theme of shallow lust

Fresh oranges now dead as cinder

And Lilies, fallen to the dust.
