she’s like a rainbow in the night
like starlight slipping through my hands
her laughter’s always burning bright
she’s like a rainbow in the night
how can I ever be her knight?
when for my heart she lack demands
she’s like a rainbow in the night
like starlight slipping through my hands
Night by Arnold Böcklin
When #orjay offered the phrase “a rainbow in the night” I took the opurtunity to write a triolet.
