The Rainbow
Estranged partner
Troubled relations
Glue
Those two
Little angels
Making marriage tick
Outwardly happy
Inside sick
Stuck in a rut
The road shut
Deceits and lies
In wedlock ties
Misery pours
Like unending rain
Time drags
No chance of redemption
And then.....
Glimmer of hope
Out peeps the sun
Dark clouds give way
There!
A rainbow at last
But cannot last
Also, cannot clutch
Cannot hold
No matter how bold
At best
Can only be enjoyed
From afar
Like a mirage
An optical illusion
Two different lives
Can never be one
The rainbow
Still brings some slight cheer
Different colours
Different shades
Seemingly colouring life
Of his Lady
Husband’s traumatic wife
Nothing more
Just a brief respite
