a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,425Please respect copyright.PENANAKjCXZ9ewJp
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 425Please respect copyright.PENANAXZz0NYaawh
pounds against your head425Please respect copyright.PENANAIE1b35MH7K
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.425Please respect copyright.PENANA6tsUMHwWqi
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force425Please respect copyright.PENANAOpzHGhsFZU
lurching at what you think has to be said425Please respect copyright.PENANApQr6yA8Sjy
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too425Please respect copyright.PENANAXB16IL9x1p
Yet all sound is compressed deep down425Please respect copyright.PENANAcGAswa8Fb0
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led425Please respect copyright.PENANAol47h8Gk0v
For it too is also a passionate red.425Please respect copyright.PENANA0o7gkca9dx
When eyes are meeting and holding stance425Please respect copyright.PENANA8UbS8E3bRO
revelling in what doesn't need to be said425Please respect copyright.PENANAmrwKYWqcDW
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin425Please respect copyright.PENANAc86j8tfmTz
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes425Please respect copyright.PENANA9J7XkWBk6l
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew425Please respect copyright.PENANAgTAIZaQr7D
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.425Please respect copyright.PENANAHVeweEGyUN
The music that blasts your ears with no pain425Please respect copyright.PENANAyOclW1oXPC
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view425Please respect copyright.PENANAuxhrQ7CaZM
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows425Please respect copyright.PENANA9lW5Eko2aQ
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands425Please respect copyright.PENANARUsWsjQvEh
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you425Please respect copyright.PENANAod4XOu4gzN
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.425Please respect copyright.PENANAPaWiKeIW3w
So is the screech of swerving tires425Please respect copyright.PENANAJLjq16shjp
You realize late that the headlights are too425Please respect copyright.PENANA46SqDlikx7
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin425Please respect copyright.PENANAC8bLp8tvWG
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds425Please respect copyright.PENANANoTlxKRMMN
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello425Please respect copyright.PENANAYhUWaEz7cY
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 425Please respect copyright.PENANA15PmetLNHN
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade425Please respect copyright.PENANAUxigkMbFkk
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow425Please respect copyright.PENANAFQPSxD56up
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?425Please respect copyright.PENANARh7CwLpm3L
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?425Please respect copyright.PENANAK1veYS2U9Y
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold425Please respect copyright.PENANA6RL4v41sp9
But alas, they're only yellow.425Please respect copyright.PENANATzjYmVcKJD
With treasures piled high in decadent glory425Please respect copyright.PENANA6YwtsXdxT0
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold425Please respect copyright.PENANAdOoMj2LwsX
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins425Please respect copyright.PENANAqgQnz85Osy
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 425Please respect copyright.PENANAhxsHbJynnl
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being425Please respect copyright.PENANAAeL4dpGhDn
But still, you are green with bottled envy.425Please respect copyright.PENANA8h2QUa56aS
As the ivy infects all that it brushes425Please respect copyright.PENANAtYFTF9wQCn
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve425Please respect copyright.PENANAoa9qCtSW16
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow425Please respect copyright.PENANAUleKcZvANm
When it's isolated from power and stinging want425Please respect copyright.PENANAcz2nUO8svZ
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen425Please respect copyright.PENANAskWXA1ewSV
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green425Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ2WsTDTrS
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns425Please respect copyright.PENANA4w8wg1Uu9l
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached425Please respect copyright.PENANAGTrrpvpyiY
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over425Please respect copyright.PENANA2mD153S5dl
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy425Please respect copyright.PENANAbDIqgoJ6Qt
with total submersion you realize you425Please respect copyright.PENANARn3ROeigik
cannot see anything but infinite blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAhg747PHRh2
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak425Please respect copyright.PENANA87JG48XZqt
with opaque skin, no one can see through425Please respect copyright.PENANApw1LpbhHQw
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet425Please respect copyright.PENANAV4o89IScxc
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind425Please respect copyright.PENANAyAx0lY8nr1
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,425Please respect copyright.PENANAPNEXAyD9Zs
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?425Please respect copyright.PENANAswbIRQ7bnQ
The colour of soothing cold on your skin425Please respect copyright.PENANAvuMxxHttkg
healing and giving back to you425Please respect copyright.PENANA56O4o3fd3H
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky425Please respect copyright.PENANAZPhZed4h8e
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots425Please respect copyright.PENANAB6ah8Po2Ep
In the grandiose world you barely know,425Please respect copyright.PENANAM6Q9KGyNz0
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.425Please respect copyright.PENANA8HtIqCe40N
the questions that dangle and form in your head425Please respect copyright.PENANA5nLSQ65JAh
with pages of answers waiting to be known425Please respect copyright.PENANAQRKDsklftd
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say425Please respect copyright.PENANATutChfpV3u
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids425Please respect copyright.PENANA1SAEvjNJ9h
The facts are true when illumination shows425Please respect copyright.PENANA4qNyuiIc2e
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?425Please respect copyright.PENANAMQGhZ5j9rv
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking425Please respect copyright.PENANAu8Vq5OBJgE
Is it true that you're even alone?425Please respect copyright.PENANArGTdnVErw4
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,425Please respect copyright.PENANA7o4xwMChJa
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.425Please respect copyright.PENANAKWZRnKIHxS
It can hold on no matter how violent,425Please respect copyright.PENANAWGQHrECgfD
The storm is strong but so is violet.425Please respect copyright.PENANAsQOWKYUdRq
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope425Please respect copyright.PENANAbsno3kWUwG
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.425Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ5SLB7OJh
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore425Please respect copyright.PENANA9lWsQpzxZ2
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown425Please respect copyright.PENANAwLYwyRiRRL
the candles that show off your face will drip425Please respect copyright.PENANAGC3lNNw26V
an increasingly pungent violet425Please respect copyright.PENANAPWorJFDAeY
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself425Please respect copyright.PENANAE1j72GhgME
your framed mirror is brightly lit425Please respect copyright.PENANAmUPknWGlar
with a once beautiful violet.
