a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,486Please respect copyright.PENANA7qcoYv1aw0
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 486Please respect copyright.PENANAHxLh7Y0uX9
pounds against your head486Please respect copyright.PENANA9SsM9yCFjQ
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.486Please respect copyright.PENANAC2NYRAIvwJ
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force486Please respect copyright.PENANAMmXDYUKiUI
lurching at what you think has to be said486Please respect copyright.PENANAKrqmQm37ex
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too486Please respect copyright.PENANAgJcB2M5J2t
Yet all sound is compressed deep down486Please respect copyright.PENANAIdn4qYV3Fq
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led486Please respect copyright.PENANAcWJQeoBwkZ
For it too is also a passionate red.486Please respect copyright.PENANAqpONyl0ion
When eyes are meeting and holding stance486Please respect copyright.PENANAZBXH1oZ1Wi
revelling in what doesn't need to be said486Please respect copyright.PENANAhIfFVlsX0D
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin486Please respect copyright.PENANAvOUqXnPzW7
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes486Please respect copyright.PENANA7x0OeSYMxl
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew486Please respect copyright.PENANAX6rKMH7AyU
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.486Please respect copyright.PENANAnoTGjsffZV
The music that blasts your ears with no pain486Please respect copyright.PENANAc5hpFAMSHw
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view486Please respect copyright.PENANAtC8AUXJRa2
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows486Please respect copyright.PENANACEnzGiJ2mS
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands486Please respect copyright.PENANAnm1rU8xxIc
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you486Please respect copyright.PENANA6yOfQP1aRP
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.486Please respect copyright.PENANAVV5izaZiGa
So is the screech of swerving tires486Please respect copyright.PENANAYgxbv0shGb
You realize late that the headlights are too486Please respect copyright.PENANArfNcTFCQ4D
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin486Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2D2vlGGk0
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds486Please respect copyright.PENANAc54ql1NWQJ
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello486Please respect copyright.PENANAAaMhC1GauW
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 486Please respect copyright.PENANALCosyLQP46
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade486Please respect copyright.PENANAhhKL04bOJ6
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow486Please respect copyright.PENANACvQHnhz1Z9
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?486Please respect copyright.PENANAjFGk4KB5Vj
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?486Please respect copyright.PENANAYPfOi4eyPE
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold486Please respect copyright.PENANAcNscY4bLnQ
But alas, they're only yellow.486Please respect copyright.PENANANPDPYtM1yh
With treasures piled high in decadent glory486Please respect copyright.PENANACJqlto37GG
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold486Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dt7tOI555
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins486Please respect copyright.PENANAhk4dvg26X2
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 486Please respect copyright.PENANAafXHqyHj8P
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being486Please respect copyright.PENANAL2LoEFWxuf
But still, you are green with bottled envy.486Please respect copyright.PENANAvOJ2cgDEip
As the ivy infects all that it brushes486Please respect copyright.PENANAbEYzDYJFuw
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve486Please respect copyright.PENANA6fOjmXZXj2
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow486Please respect copyright.PENANA325haKniXF
When it's isolated from power and stinging want486Please respect copyright.PENANA24c9TcvL8p
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen486Please respect copyright.PENANAD31z2bL7Vm
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green486Please respect copyright.PENANAbtPQuY5tmT
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns486Please respect copyright.PENANAsM42FaR6kO
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached486Please respect copyright.PENANA2U1uDpg91H
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over486Please respect copyright.PENANAZuDYEVVukR
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy486Please respect copyright.PENANAX7oKmjSmPG
with total submersion you realize you486Please respect copyright.PENANA45soMMx5TZ
cannot see anything but infinite blue486Please respect copyright.PENANAroRf5ccIhR
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak486Please respect copyright.PENANAqCwYY0sV1q
with opaque skin, no one can see through486Please respect copyright.PENANAx76i9FDqtA
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet486Please respect copyright.PENANAOHyYfIXWRO
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind486Please respect copyright.PENANAqZdjfD9kuv
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,486Please respect copyright.PENANAKuhIieMjY8
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?486Please respect copyright.PENANA8YbcaSVynN
The colour of soothing cold on your skin486Please respect copyright.PENANAJfLUsS8lZR
healing and giving back to you486Please respect copyright.PENANAIAdkEwUxqz
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky486Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ZaDbqM4M
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots486Please respect copyright.PENANA1SxyfUxAwA
In the grandiose world you barely know,486Please respect copyright.PENANA5cNuQInSAJ
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.486Please respect copyright.PENANA1wcZONbsHa
the questions that dangle and form in your head486Please respect copyright.PENANAnXitcPveVr
with pages of answers waiting to be known486Please respect copyright.PENANAoBOkXCnjto
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say486Please respect copyright.PENANAt9Gd6GlW3R
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids486Please respect copyright.PENANA89wcN4xDpH
The facts are true when illumination shows486Please respect copyright.PENANA3gWULEoF6M
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?486Please respect copyright.PENANAxrQoM7qAC0
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking486Please respect copyright.PENANA2F5EnKJ8Te
Is it true that you're even alone?486Please respect copyright.PENANA5ehs0Xn5f4
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,486Please respect copyright.PENANAbVSaBwrk19
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.486Please respect copyright.PENANAlb0VniWAZH
It can hold on no matter how violent,486Please respect copyright.PENANA1CuTRvoG8x
The storm is strong but so is violet.486Please respect copyright.PENANAOImIR8rpCR
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope486Please respect copyright.PENANAtAgOs2Zqtl
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.486Please respect copyright.PENANAbhxqu4XPlt
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore486Please respect copyright.PENANAwK3AMgfxz5
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown486Please respect copyright.PENANASKTx5Y8Iic
the candles that show off your face will drip486Please respect copyright.PENANAMgQbS07lI4
an increasingly pungent violet486Please respect copyright.PENANAriT5gGHnG1
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself486Please respect copyright.PENANA5fytVEKMck
your framed mirror is brightly lit486Please respect copyright.PENANAkqSwcGFpuK
with a once beautiful violet.
