As her hair spills over
Strands of beauty fill the air
Her lips of mystery
Slowly depart in their despair

Turning her head lightly
Eyes unseeing to the light
She steps from above...
For Blood & Rainbows fill this night

~*~*~*~
Rainbows for the faint of heart
The ones who paint with snow
Blood for the emotionless
Who will eventually let it go
~*~*~*~


Straining to get by the crowd
That fluttered by her door
Walking past her reflection
Not meaning to ignore

Tiltling her neck to watch
The colors bright yet dark
Only one color stands out
Blood & Rainbows have embarked

~*~*~*~
Rainbows for the faint of heart
The ones who paint with snow
Blood for the emotionless
Who will eventually let it go
~*~*~*~


Wavering not once
Still not brave enough to stand
She stagers through the journey
Unable to understand

That beauty is within
Perfection is untrue
Here is your Blood & Rainbows
This is my love, given to you

~*~*~*~
Rainbows for the faint of heart
The ones who paint with snow
Blood for the emotionless
Who will eventually let it go
~*~*~*~


For in much wisdom is much grief
& he who increases knowledge
    increases sorrow...
                  Eccl. 1:18

MidsummerRain -- I am awed and inspired by this poem. Beautiful, song-like ... just ... speechlessly good.

She said burn ... together.

that last verse really tied it all together... i dig it.
"the ones who paint with snow"
now that's an image i could dwell on for days....
great and envy inducing as always.  

*and for the rest of the day, i work on this challenge*

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
