Rainbow Witch
The pointed hat she wears sublime
with dust from Neptune's moon;
though magic flowing from my love
will fade and perish soon.
She twirls her glowing cape -
its light is from the stars,
the heat of Venus fire
and glittered sands of Mars.
The colours fluctuate
in shades of blinding light,
and flash from black to white,
then aquamarine -
crimson -
chartreuse -
coral -
lavender -
lemon -
lilac -
saffron -
tangerine -
watermelon...
And as her soul departs this night,
her colours fill the heavens bright.
