Rainbow's Edge

Rainbow

It’s raining in my soul
hailing a hurricane of
desiccated tears drenched 
to the bones and trenched 
in my mindless mind

Constant pitter patter cracker
crocker like a desert under
water silence noise demise

Flooding iron cages of reason
leaks in abundance cascades
of unfelt emotion trickling
feeling what cannot be felt

Storm water defences over-spun
in endless loops of hidden sun
in torrents of nothingness

Leaks are the cracks where the
light gets into the solar stellar 
moon moist musky meandering 
at the cliff face of healing

Vents and releases are to limit
drowning drowsy suffocation
asphyxiation storm cloud’s haze

Walls will be crumbling
soul-muck can subside in
light of nothing but the rainbow
so far unleashed under cover
of grime and mind-soap deluxe

If it was that easy I would not be
writing this poem would be the
rainbow instead of the shadow 
but I can attempt to pitter patter 
to a different tune and tremor
