SELKIRK mountain rainbow

1
Reaching, reaching
Into blackness
To find the rainbow
Colours of his first
Love,
Finding only more pain

2
As he reaches
For his love
Of his first love,
Unrequited,
Cold heart,
Stone breasts,
Longing for softness,

3
Sweet milk
Satisfying,
But finding
Only a black hole
Taking
His soul,
Crying profusely
Round crystals
Reflecting

4
The longing
Found in truth,
Unlike betrayal,
Found lies,
Found in
Selfish manipulation
Of his
Puppet soul.
