Rainbow Bridge

When love, however painful, transcends the ordinary, egoic and physical

You disarm me in the mystery

our bodies spark

steel on steel

you cut me

 

Chimera's malice transacting

pain in lieu

Standing between us

taxing our happiness

 

And then apart in the beauty

you hold me

as I hold you

watching your back

 

When you are fragile and withdrawn

In your safe

tower of ivory

to protect you

this, my truth

 

destiny fulfilling

love transcending

flesh and blood anchored

to this mortal coil

 

The bridge

like a rainbow

crossed

Mundanity that shackles

our corporeal selves

 

Our archetypes, our myth, together forever

our soul journey

hand in hand

in the imaginary

 

so pure

so bittersweet

my body aches

but my soul jubilates

 

the delicious pleasure, the darkest pain

suffer and endeavour

we walk together

and we know

 

as we learn fear to courage

lion heart vanguarded

no rainbow lives

without sun and rain

Very good poem, lovely images and the last lines are so true..no rainbow lives without sun and rain... the ying and tang of everything.. like your poem.. very righteous.

Stunning ending to this work. What a wonderful piece of writing. An expression of what I can only call the Universal search united as One...great work, very uplifting even in its moments of trouble and pain. Thank you for sharing. A sheer delight, this early morning.
