rainbows and dreams

at the end of a rainbow lies a pot of gold

it is what we believe, its what we are told

in reality its only a water mist in the sky

not unlike the tears that fall when we cry



in rainbows and dreams we like to believe,

that lovers will love you and never leave

but as the rainbows and the dreams fade

lovers leave and you are left with only pain



i have chased rainbows and dreams to only find,

no pot of gold, only heartache and lies

a rainbow is only a vision for us to behold

dreams are not forever,there is no pot of gold

This poem is brilliant. So painfully true. Life isn't as perfect as we'd all like it to turn out, and dreams don't really come true. Thanks for the wake-up call! Molten Emotion

Oh Joyce, what a sad poem full of pain and nostalgia. Sometimes we all want to cry in words just to relive the rainbows of life... A lovely poem that takes the reader on life's journeys. Regards Donkerman
