A rainbow in grey skies
My anguish
A bottomless well
Echoing the murmur of my pain
My grief
Dry autumn leaves
Dancing over my wounds
My sorrow
Dark thick clouds
Haunting my hollow heart
My world
A meaningless word
Grey… grey… grey multihued
Devoid of my sweetheart’s laughter
My being
A limping lump of flesh and bones
Wobbly… confused… forever waiting
With a lopsided smile
My love
A buoyant rainbow
Cascade of lights
Alluring fantasy
Untouchable mirage
