Rainbow Within Our Bones

My heart grew fond of you quickly your brown golden skin sparkled in the sunlight as we lay side by side an entrancing and sharp contrast to my melancholy paleness, sprawled in the grassy field with our fingers entwined we sang love ballads to the sky. your eyes were like dark amber jewels the brightness of your smile filled my heart with a kind of desperation for sooth from the storms of this world and years later I still imagine us together, I fancy us running into one another and laughing, holding on to each other once more, collecting the different shades of our experience together and frowning at our ease with which we allowed the ignorance of society to separate us simply due to a difference in skin tone, All the while we each held a rainbow within our bones.
