Eternal Promise At the End of the Rainbow

I wonder if this heart will ever reach A rainbow's end upon a golden beach I'd slide down multicoloured lovely ride Feeling the warmth of sunlight as I glide There in my fantasy I long to be As long as my sweet love is there with me Together we will stroll upon the shore Knowing the truth that less is truly more Feeling the water lapping at our feet Seeing the place where sky and ocean meet Our life begins in place where rainbow shows The gentle breeze of passion quickly grows For I know I have found my gift of gold Within these arms my sweetheart I do hold The magic I experience with my eyes I've come to know the truth and realize Each of us is offered a rainbow gift Search for it's magic let your spirit shift For in the place of love and fantasy Colours are as vibrant as they can be Written; January 20th 2016 Couplet for Eve Roper's Rainbow Contest When I read this to my wife I asked her what I should title it. She commented that Rainbows are temporary to which I responded. "Rainbows are an Eternal promise." Hence the title was born.

It's been awhile since I've read one of your poems, friend. Good luck on the contest. I love your matter-o-fact ending line... "Colors are as a vibrant as they can be." It's got a lovely ring too it.
