Rainbow Days

Your smile illuminates
The darkest parts in me.
Leather bag draped 
Over your brown tweed jacket.
Your silver lapel badge,
Winks in the sunshine.
The scent of your perfume
Drifts on the breeze.
I want to hold you, to love you.
Your eyes, like cool, blue, pools 
Invite me to dive, to luxuriate
In the depths of your beautiful soul. 

When all the bombs have fallen
And life has crushed the stars,
I will remember those rainbow days,
The sun and soft rain on your face,
Your strength, your beauty, your grace.
And love will flood the arid ruins
Of a lost and empty life.
