Rainbow In My Heart Poem by lalitha iyer

Incessant rains
flooded life;
day in and day out
they wept into my life.
Creeping into every nook and corner
of every joy they wiped me dear.

All day passed into nothing
into dark pits I fell climbing above ill things
every time I stand, some dirty hearts pull me within
and ugly minds pinch me stretching
I screamed at nothings and climbed still to something.
Yet, life was done, so I thought, my dusk nearing.

Sun about to set slowly smiled peeping
I could see the tear drops glistening
Across the heart strings intriguing
some alien hand drew a rainbow colourful
combined with past, present and future in full
Before I sank to ground, I just fluttered open my lull

Ahoy! That was the Rainbow of life, I bowed in Awe.
