The Octagonal Rainbow

The Octagonal Rainbow...
At the peak of his stardom, the 'dusk' made him realize,
 
All those applauds were hollow and compliments to paralyze.
 
Amidst his performance of obvious glitter,
 
He put curtains and hid back stage in a jitter.
 
Who notes the absence and who celebrates this flutter?
 
A pause of solitude passed by and temptations took over
 
Through the cracks of memories he leaned to see,
 
Vacant seats of appreciations where once resided masks of joy and glee.
 
In absolute darkness of desolation stood a Marvelous Blue,
 
Shining brighter then every dew.
 
Light transcribed through the Jewel uncut,
 
The eight ray of unconditional Love evolved.
 
Struck by the Octagonal Rainbow he stands healed,
 
Of all wounds that pretenders revealed.
 
The Jewel of Marvelous Blue,
 
Remains close to his heart sticking firm to emotions glue....
