Under rainbows

Revised

You make me want to be sweet with you.
We'd make love and you'd never come 

But you would know I loved you.

 

You make cows browse the meadows

Under rainbows ravens score 

Cloud cover till the rain wears you again 

 

Like a well tailored suit, fit for a funeral.

You're the single flower in a field not tended 

   to

And the belly up side of a love of mine died
 

Years ago renewed.

You're somehow special at the same time 

Being the same old you.

This is raw especially your first stanza, love is everything love can be nothing, completely chaotic yet we go back to it even when we know it's a love that's stood still and simply can't move forward. Wow Rory, this is inspiring, your title is super, it's tender and holds hope. I'm emotionally attached to every line. Kudos, you have written from somewhere incredibly deep. 🌹

I'll confess, I only ever wanted to be a poet.
I remember nothing else I ever wanted to do.

Never known another to say that,
Though I've known a few who would probably 
Share my desire.

You have reached your goals already dear Poet, all you ever needed to do was reach down deep and let it all out into your poetic lines without fear of being rejected by your reader, and always remember the only one who truly has to love the poem is the poet who wrote it, ask Bukowski if you don't believe me. Stay cool my dear Rory. 😎
