Inspired by the song 'A Rainbow In The Dark'

Ronnie James Dio

Contest by Robert James Liguorie 

Rainbow In The Dark

Lightening flashing a glimpse of spark :
    Rainbow of heart hides in the dark !
    At night shrill whistle of sky lark :
                       We two together to venture !

     Path at turquoise night turns hazy
     We two roaming being crazy
     Though untwined and being  whimsy 
                    always rush in rue or rapture.

     But dull darkness we must overcome 
     Our enthusiasm is awesome 
     No rest : We wander at random .
                      Dynamism ! Vibrant nature.

     We run haphazard, not rhyming :
     Charcoal night ! Morning not coming.
     Our dormant desires are swimming !
                       Rainbow in the dark to capture .
