A Night Rainbow, The Moonbow

Waiting for Love

Night’s Rainbow, The MoonBow

A rainbow glistened in a dark sky

Spreading through starlight

Thunder roared as lonely clouds

Ripped into the atmosphere

Upon my wave of hopefulness

I search for you my dear

 

Miraculous Lights twinkle

Gleaming brilliant colors flow

Into my pleading heart and soul

I’ll wait forever, never to let go

Many years and many days

But nothing changed your plane

 

I danced for sweet rain to bring

You near, for the rare Moon’s

Bow to appear �" now I see

It’s half ring hidden in my memory

 

A hundred different ways to collide

With my propensity to laugh and cry

Waiting for drops to take my pain

Pretending my meek measures would

Make you smile, but life’s too short

For lonely clouds these parched days

 

Longing I asked the moon to come down low,

But the hellcats of hullabaloo said “oh no no”

You need only a mist to see his rainbow

Tenderly embrace our dark paradise

It calls for love’s blissful guise

Rainbow produced by the reflection of the moonlight, Moonbow, certainly a rare but must be a beautiful natural phenomenon.
Loved your imagery, the first 10 lines are my favourite, especially the given part is more than beautiful,

Thunder roared as lonely clouds
Ripped into the atmosphere
Upon my wave of hopefulness
I search for you my dear.

Well done, dear Dale.

I love this. Great imagery...

[Melinda McQueen]

This is great. It flows easily. It has a sadness to it. You're right, life is short. I was reminded Friday when I lost my boyfriend.
Thanks for sharing.

amazing piece of your fine work....love these kind of refreshing poem which takes me to a state of trance ..:)

Moonbow? Wow, the crescent shape of the half-moon stares at us on so many nights and I salute your imagination for relating it to a rainbow. Rainbows when the sun shines and moonbows, when the sun doesn't. Is this composed of multiple themes like searching for love ( not just a person to love), the fallacy of life...or did I misinterpret your intentions?
Wonderful creativity though. The flow kept me going and at the end you made me pause and think for a few moments.

[Confuser]

The moonbow is a real phenomenom, and it is the search for a past love; I waited for someone to find the line 1/2 ring...and one person did, meaning metaphorically, my soulmate, I wait...the ending, is just some "flavor" the witches, guiding her away....Thanks for your thoughtful review. When I write a poem, I normally never know where I'm going. Dale

[Ashish Hegde]

Moonbow is real? Haha sorry should have a done my homework. I just interpreted that you referred to the crescent shape.

[Confuser]
