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.

Monsoon Tales

The shining silver drops from sky,
Glistening gold in sunlight bright,
As rainbow unfolds in colors of glory,
And stars wait their turn to shine in the night.

The wet velvet night it would be,
Hearing distant rumblings from the sea,
Do clouds bring lore from far and yore,
As ship raises anchor and sets sail,
This monsoon has a story to tell.
