The rainbow from your eyes
Flew to the sky
Riding on a wisp of your breath
Creating a majestic arc
Right across the horizon
Beckoning me
To fly with you
Into the unknown
Leaving everything behind
And without a care in this world
So that we can tiptoe
Onto the seven sublime colours
Allowing those hues to seep into us
You
Me
Filling us with heavenly ecstasy
Not of the ecstatic kind
But one which diffuses into you
Gently
In soft dreamy whispers
Caressing your soul
Making us immortal
In that moment
Of reality and surreality
Intertwined
Interlaced irreversibly
With each other
