Chase The Rainbow Ghost

Atrocious process of the supine mind
expands contrary hope for fractured rain
that readjusts how eyes perceive strange wind
except when children chase the rainbow ghost
who gambles for the fool to win the game
though she just started learning yesterday.

Lost in dark Paris streets of tangled fate
one hundred years ago from this taut hour,
my spirit seeks in maze of mirror masks
defrayed excuse to chase the rainbow ghost
in fight against the clown of everywhere
whose tricks defraud the faithful of their truth.

Yet time unwinds electric clocks of fear
defined by numbers twisted to reflect
irreverent code for programming weird shows
that depict how gods chase the rainbow ghost
who slithers from deep well of Melusine
with broken lyre no angel wants to play.

If best way to experience primal faith
is hiking rugged river trail of pines
where silver water tumbles famously
with eager flight to chase the rainbow ghost
across enormous boulders of respect,
I sit and smell sharp scent of mountain dirt.

With playful leaps of artful gratitude
I hop enormous boulders of my heart
to ask weird wizard of surreal airports
secret we need to chase the rainbow ghost
who builds new hydrostone church of the goat
we should expunge from list of lonely halls.

Her white dress spread on lawn of sacred trust,
Faith smiles with innocence of golden flowers
that shimmer at soft breath of her moist lips
as she watches me chase the rainbow ghost
embodied by the horse with flowing mane
whose eyes glow with honest flames of her heart.

Death invents new way of speaking our hearts
so we wave flags of national intent
to protest neglect of our serpent bones
left behind when we chase the rainbow ghost
in sepia rain that helps us understand
shades of umber extracting clouds of thought.

Dire crickets pixilate snowflakes of passion
which proves the afterlife never occurs,
described by monologue of pretty souls
who carve machines that chase the rainbow ghost
in vain attempt to recreate the world
in image of the beast with fragile wings.
