The Rainbow Relationship
A Poem by Rachana Sunar
Well, there is a saying, there is No gain without pain
YES! There is the beauty of Rainbow, after bad rain
If you feel like being stuck, you are probably in a Rainbow relationship
Weather, its ‘Heaven’ or ‘Hell’ hard to declare
Wait! What? Rainbow relation? Yeah let me explain
Some relationships are just like a Rainbow
Full of colors, all mixed of, as magical show
Blended emotions of love-Hate, Trust-Betray or Do-Die
You cannot see the person’s real color, hard to identify
Two coin sides of the brain: imagination and memory
Confused enough to hold or leave, so you live in a misery
SO called the rainbow relationships are illusionary
When you clearly see the sharp thorn on your way
You will not be stupid to step on it barefoot
While, the path is full of roses, thorn underneath
The heart full of trust in love and bleeding feet beneath
With sparkle of love in the eyes, you keep hoping
Until the moment, your feet start shaking
Neither you can cross all, nor can you get back
With All the traumas, emotional damages and heart attack
Then your partner show up with bandage for healing
Instantly you change your mind for different feelings
All your complains and insecurities are just gone
You feel loved again, compassionate and fun
They could have sweep up all the thorn away
Instead of playing the bandage game
For the rainbow love, you burn and bury your fame
You fool yourself from time to time
Blindly possessing someone and owning as mine
However, how beautiful the sky looks for a while
The rainbow relation, doesn’t last for long.
