a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,529Please respect copyright.PENANA2k9tUR53c5
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 529Please respect copyright.PENANAgel7Yt5MWA
pounds against your head529Please respect copyright.PENANAmGL86K8297
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.529Please respect copyright.PENANAwLD7XNQkqa
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force529Please respect copyright.PENANAMGb0Pub0te
lurching at what you think has to be said529Please respect copyright.PENANAVe4ciQWIQX
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too529Please respect copyright.PENANA3fuIwFWrS8
Yet all sound is compressed deep down529Please respect copyright.PENANAxbNthvsLMU
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led529Please respect copyright.PENANADvFjujTKM1
For it too is also a passionate red.529Please respect copyright.PENANAScIMP0snOZ
When eyes are meeting and holding stance529Please respect copyright.PENANA46nirVcR42
revelling in what doesn't need to be said529Please respect copyright.PENANAe45SQZ8KZ9
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin529Please respect copyright.PENANAkYteDLuI26
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes529Please respect copyright.PENANATCf1ffYcz5
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew529Please respect copyright.PENANARP2ALbc3M0
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.529Please respect copyright.PENANA5O1ME5pwr8
The music that blasts your ears with no pain529Please respect copyright.PENANA9l5qJlAoTu
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view529Please respect copyright.PENANAILLQCWvkJl
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows529Please respect copyright.PENANAsvXIv8Uwhu
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands529Please respect copyright.PENANAkkUwcUbc5X
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you529Please respect copyright.PENANAZFRvbf0cMs
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.529Please respect copyright.PENANA5K3OgFAllR
So is the screech of swerving tires529Please respect copyright.PENANAbrujtrzAxZ
You realize late that the headlights are too529Please respect copyright.PENANA7AvGjsuivi
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin529Please respect copyright.PENANAwdwkT2UiGi
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds529Please respect copyright.PENANAKKGICGiNrN
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello529Please respect copyright.PENANAzaDlRIFcsV
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 529Please respect copyright.PENANAzt0K5p93C9
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade529Please respect copyright.PENANAVAaiHqS54k
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow529Please respect copyright.PENANAke7dx0EZpR
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?529Please respect copyright.PENANA9EBAukyyZf
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?529Please respect copyright.PENANAxIZFckxlTL
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold529Please respect copyright.PENANAr3j5vcZJxv
But alas, they're only yellow.529Please respect copyright.PENANAff5pmoGtpH
With treasures piled high in decadent glory529Please respect copyright.PENANAUefILB4cwT
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold529Please respect copyright.PENANATxnecGvCvr
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins529Please respect copyright.PENANAmpkCgm5Dys
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 529Please respect copyright.PENANAwA632yUzZp
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being529Please respect copyright.PENANA4vpG5tPGm5
But still, you are green with bottled envy.529Please respect copyright.PENANA49TNnFDFNp
As the ivy infects all that it brushes529Please respect copyright.PENANAEg6W5o965R
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve529Please respect copyright.PENANA9tPyorWkNj
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow529Please respect copyright.PENANAcQT8P5f01p
When it's isolated from power and stinging want529Please respect copyright.PENANA7E0taGMO58
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen529Please respect copyright.PENANANkkrpytiW5
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green529Please respect copyright.PENANAvG5dsPkxuW
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns529Please respect copyright.PENANAkH4T4sZ4wH
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached529Please respect copyright.PENANADCzngcewkZ
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over529Please respect copyright.PENANAkyGT5JD5j9
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy529Please respect copyright.PENANAkW9p2RBCJn
with total submersion you realize you529Please respect copyright.PENANA8fRSD7ExlB
cannot see anything but infinite blue529Please respect copyright.PENANAmYiGZJ4jhS
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak529Please respect copyright.PENANAR7Yt4Qy3qj
with opaque skin, no one can see through529Please respect copyright.PENANAIjFsAcI4Gp
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet529Please respect copyright.PENANAZJKP4r43rJ
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind529Please respect copyright.PENANATU223EvcXV
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,529Please respect copyright.PENANAxnrsWvXAEe
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?529Please respect copyright.PENANAUKqDjfxocl
The colour of soothing cold on your skin529Please respect copyright.PENANA6UK27SMHcQ
healing and giving back to you529Please respect copyright.PENANAargtdYidXV
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky529Please respect copyright.PENANA6YQBglFyoQ
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots529Please respect copyright.PENANAlhLOa1jPDZ
In the grandiose world you barely know,529Please respect copyright.PENANA7pjDBYI6iV
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.529Please respect copyright.PENANA7WaxZQLIYN
the questions that dangle and form in your head529Please respect copyright.PENANA45HoDGbhG1
with pages of answers waiting to be known529Please respect copyright.PENANAdvooV9QolA
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say529Please respect copyright.PENANA2H9TIbc6Yp
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids529Please respect copyright.PENANAMksiZoLxmJ
The facts are true when illumination shows529Please respect copyright.PENANArNybvUtOEK
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?529Please respect copyright.PENANAMRJ8TlH9Zt
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking529Please respect copyright.PENANApvUxU0ogoJ
Is it true that you're even alone?529Please respect copyright.PENANAy5fUBQcHWr
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,529Please respect copyright.PENANAHP9fiO0nZO
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.529Please respect copyright.PENANAaYXfhdnxHU
It can hold on no matter how violent,529Please respect copyright.PENANAXynhgZZBi7
The storm is strong but so is violet.529Please respect copyright.PENANAD994LU0dCr
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope529Please respect copyright.PENANAGGDsVFmFa6
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.529Please respect copyright.PENANAuba6wdLZRB
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore529Please respect copyright.PENANARNHIQ3rQ8w
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown529Please respect copyright.PENANAbDfEuXlTA8
the candles that show off your face will drip529Please respect copyright.PENANAxSsZADf8L7
an increasingly pungent violet529Please respect copyright.PENANAfPWtTUnSyj
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself529Please respect copyright.PENANAJTOaQ8yWAe
your framed mirror is brightly lit529Please respect copyright.PENANADv8Yh7PJLb
with a once beautiful violet.
