Emotional Rainbow

entry picture

 

What my forebears see, gazing down on me?

Whilst having cake and tea with God

Are they turning their backs on me?

As my love has given another the nod

 

With all those around me, upon this earth

Connecting old her with me, nobody puts asunder

If they knew what’s afoot they’d deny my birth

Is what I contemplate, a monumental blunder

 

Has my love for old her fallen away, gone cold?

Frozen deep into the wastelands of my mind

Is this new love an emotional rainbow devoid of gold?

Planted on fallow soil, will its leaves unwind?

 

My hearts rigging is at breaking point, caught in a gale

The wheel spins wildly to follow the compass bearing

My love is all at sea, my vessel doomed, with barely a sail

The devil then dances in me to my new love, direction unerring

 

Many a fool has been caught in the crossfire of temptation

Shot, left to die beneath scorching sun by those wronged

Still like a lizard I crawl toward new her, be dammed each nation

Caught by the devil in deep blue sea, lost loves lament prolonged

"Many a fool has been caught in the crossfire of temptation

Shot, left to die beneath scorching sun by those wronged

Still like a lizard I crawl toward new her, be dammed each nation"

I like these lines Phil, it was just getting going for me!!!!!

I reckon you can just put 'the riggin is at breakin point' as its fun to place the heart there ourselves

I love the sentiment in this poem Phil
