Rainbow Didactic

by Mad Hatter - Capricorn

Sunlight and vapor
filtered through a prism
multihued colors dazzle & please

summon a mecca
of desire and release
that exceeds all expectations
beyond fulfillment and satiation

More than gold
More than anyone
could imagine

the illusion that
transcends 

foolish longings coiling,
bottle blonde goddesses afoot,
so close, there within reach
what there is to teach is

too abstract or out of touch,
Aloof, incomplete, soaring
too far above but willing to beseech
what do you know
anyway?
just that it’s still
touch and go
wanting so much
to bust down that fence
that keeps us apart,

Reveal hand & heart;
What riches await
at the end of that rainbow;
were it not so but 
that discretion, indirection, & such
intervened & distracted

Have you ever acted
on what you want & need
or will you just watch,
let her bleed
away into the past
imperfect, bestowed, but
retracted?
Or is this you again
being endlessly
didactic?
