When you get to know me,
You will see,
I'm really quite like a rainbow.
I will be there for you after a storm,
The colors of my personality separating,
As they bounce off the mirror inside your tears.
I will be there,
The real me,
If only long enough to make you smile.
There is no pot of gold at the end of me,
But if I've shown you my true colors,
Understand that I've given you my only treasure.

Such a beautiful and sweet metaphor! I love the simplicity of the poerm. Just as striking as Hemingway's. 5/5.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible- it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any other material posesion could.<br /> <br /> ~Barbara de Angel
