Rainbow Heartbeat

Rainbow Heartbeat 

Pour me a rainbow 
let it float on the sea
As it flows from your heart
and become a part of me

Yellow to brighten 
any cloudy day
As upon the waves
it effortlessly plays

Red born of desire
undulating motion 
Salty on my tongue
a passionate potion

Yes, pour me a rainbow
let it float on the sea
As it flows from your heart 
and becomes part of me

Blue as bright as the sky
a twin on the water
Twinkling refractions
Poseidon’s daughter

Green like in a garden
ripples tickle my feet
Liquid luxurious 
a horizon to greet

Orange to tantalise
on waters once pale
Jack O'Lantern splendour 
intertwining with whales

Let me savour your rainbow
as it floats on the sea
Flowing from your heart
becoming part of me

Indigo intuition
free flowing crystal clear
Your gift upon the sea
that draws me near

Violet imagination
A vision complete
Oceans of possibilities 
Your rainbow heartbeat.

I have been admiring the rainbow you have created with its various shades. You have very scholarly described the seven colors and their significance. Beautifully written, dear friend Richard.

This is so creative how you’ve written this, brilliant use of various colors of rainbow and what it depicts and the flow of this is amazing! I love especially your mention of poseidons daughter, and also red as desire and “ indigo intuition” clever word pairing and diction! Pleasure reading you always
