Rainbow in my window

Always. After it rains, I see a rainbow in my window.

The musky scent of rain cling to you

like cold weather does to bones,

distinct and unforgiving.

Silent yet resilient, just like rain

you water sadness with hope

and put out flames of shame.

Alone in the sky, palely loitering.

Warm to the eyes yet ever so distant

you're my solemn rainbow. My secret.

I can see your true colours

but only when you wish me to.

I'm asking you now; Linger here forever.
