There's a key
that unlocks rainbows
that I keep within my heart.
It's a little "catch"
within my chest
where melancholy begins to start.
It unlocks walls,
emotions hide behind
(for my protection).
And it cracks the shell
surrounding me,
to give my soul direction.
Without this key,
I'll always be
a fire detachment smothers...
An empty vessel,
self-absorbed...
bereft of love for others.
But with it...
ah...then life becomes
a carousel of feelings.
A roller coaster
ride of love
with ups and downs revealing....
all the colors of the rainbow
all the tastes,
the sounds, the rhythms..
all the warmth of sacred lovers
and the heartbeat
that's within them.
And the key is dual
in purpose
with it's compass so unerring;
Guiding to my soul-mates
with a lifetime
that's worth sharing.
So, when I've found my heart's desire
THEN
I'll set the rainbow free.
Unlock the words
within my heart
and throw away the key.
