Eternal Rainbow

An eternal rainbow in the sky
Blue as the pain in those tiger eyes
Green as the fields of yesterday
Luscious, sparkling fruit in winter ray
Grey hides both black and white
A butterfly, a symphony that sounds alright
Indigo a harbinger of storms
That over the sky in savageness roams
Orange a dancer, sultry and sweet
Wearing anklets of stars on delicate feet
Red the crimson blood in my heart
Those flowers and apples in some cart
Violet a fragile lilac bloom
The brilliant plume, the hidden perfume
Yellow the sweet juice from the mango
A million lamps lit in a row
 An eternal rainbow in the sky
Free my soul and let it fly
