Chasing Rainbows

Is there any point

to chasing rainbows?

 

A prism reflected

on gutter water

is nothing but a illusion

in cracked pavements.

 

There is no sunshine

at the end of this storm;

there is no hope found

in this tumultuous soul.

 

I’ve never known love

that was requited,

where my every

desire was unfulfilled.

 

I’ve never believed

in clouds with silver linings.
