Rainbows

A Lesbian Love Poem

When people think of favourite colours

They run for the safety of rainbow's embrace

Red with its angry love and dripping of blood

Orange with the burning sun to its name

Yellow with sand and daffodils and jaundice

Green fields spreading as far as the eye can see

Blue, seas and sky's and the sorrows it contains

Violet with bruises and flowers and natures love

Indigo with sparklingly stars marring its cover

Me I run for the colours of you

The colour of your lips, somewhere between red and pink and wholly unique

The top you were wearing the first time we kissed, that top you still have hidden away,

The colour of your hair, gold dashes through it

Your eyes, piercing me every time you looked into mine, every time we kissed, touched,

Your room, dappled with the sunlight dancing through the shades,

Nails gripping skin, tearing clothes, shredding backs,

The night you said I love you, and the night I said it back.

A rainbow could never compare to the colours of you, but with you watching it next to me, it doesn’t have to.
