I Took The Rainbow Apart....(Poetry)

I took the rainbow apart,
Watched it through the watchglass,
I chased it beyond horizon,
I picked it up from thin air.

Every color I touched,
Dispersed in thin air so fast,
Every time,
I outstretched my arm,
I caught vaccum in my hand.

The pot of gold it promised,
Is as elusive as this band of hues,
It gives hope in rains of despair,
But I know it can give no more.

I know now that rainbow lives,
Only in my mind,
Yet every time I see the rainbow,
I believe.
