Rainbow Promises

No need for sweetness lady fair, Or perfumed sex that stains the air, Life's pregnant miracle is you, My prayer: love it brings is true! Does promise hide in dreamy eyes No man deserves? If Love's surprise Suggests souls grow, embraces rain, Its snow can't crystalize Love's pain. Might clouds that vanish tell me why The rainbow's promise makes me cry Until it comes again, again: Who knows the what, the where, or when? Long Tooth July 28, 2019
