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.PENANAectbpNVsEI
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 486Please respect copyright.PENANAT4An1PKGOC
pounds against your head486Please respect copyright.PENANADEtsBqOAvd
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.486Please respect copyright.PENANA04gyo01AsD
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force486Please respect copyright.PENANABhK90bEiDx
lurching at what you think has to be said486Please respect copyright.PENANA6T45BKomIr
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too486Please respect copyright.PENANA9kzJ9THHH6
Yet all sound is compressed deep down486Please respect copyright.PENANActzt6ihb6g
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led486Please respect copyright.PENANAX5v1sMHYVU
For it too is also a passionate red.486Please respect copyright.PENANA2G1nqqdDp4
When eyes are meeting and holding stance486Please respect copyright.PENANADcJ3d7uLTr
revelling in what doesn't need to be said486Please respect copyright.PENANAuzGMMzK5mA
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin486Please respect copyright.PENANAkDFrcLLQtT
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes486Please respect copyright.PENANAHITvyXLlBt
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew486Please respect copyright.PENANAsfOBhRvj7Y
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.486Please respect copyright.PENANAkS8kseIDIT
The music that blasts your ears with no pain486Please respect copyright.PENANA8rBhjoxuLq
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view486Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lt3ZhFpPf
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows486Please respect copyright.PENANAferlwIB4EZ
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands486Please respect copyright.PENANAy7jIDxm2nV
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you486Please respect copyright.PENANAVruQGDFKSO
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.486Please respect copyright.PENANAG9GKySrASk
So is the screech of swerving tires486Please respect copyright.PENANA2y8GalnKmJ
You realize late that the headlights are too486Please respect copyright.PENANACCuQjaKxBz
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin486Please respect copyright.PENANAUNM4LXZqm1
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds486Please respect copyright.PENANAbYnpxVW1Cx
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello486Please respect copyright.PENANAEC01Pq6Loq
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 486Please respect copyright.PENANAW6iJLNpOi7
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade486Please respect copyright.PENANAllg9DkNtHb
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow486Please respect copyright.PENANAPxOGTSXcfP
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?486Please respect copyright.PENANAXl9Blz0Eef
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?486Please respect copyright.PENANAnQP1i3xS1M
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold486Please respect copyright.PENANAHn3zv2wadR
But alas, they're only yellow.486Please respect copyright.PENANAXL2JJxkcM3
With treasures piled high in decadent glory486Please respect copyright.PENANAIdPRsyluBf
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold486Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Hpoghgg7
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins486Please respect copyright.PENANAQh8YP8o3F6
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 486Please respect copyright.PENANAZGrguBRe9c
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being486Please respect copyright.PENANAkRfRn4dPu3
But still, you are green with bottled envy.486Please respect copyright.PENANAL6rkOPUdcm
As the ivy infects all that it brushes486Please respect copyright.PENANAIdy0H2rOBT
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve486Please respect copyright.PENANAhYT7QekHKJ
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow486Please respect copyright.PENANArHkiAX2YfN
When it's isolated from power and stinging want486Please respect copyright.PENANA0JDAgutEJK
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen486Please respect copyright.PENANAsAJ6hZcyEe
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green486Please respect copyright.PENANAYr6vHGQi8x
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns486Please respect copyright.PENANAtRvRRMADWN
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached486Please respect copyright.PENANAu2VjVeovri
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over486Please respect copyright.PENANAdq3Is2erss
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy486Please respect copyright.PENANATjWBNzfyND
with total submersion you realize you486Please respect copyright.PENANAgIL6FZXy79
cannot see anything but infinite blue486Please respect copyright.PENANA4NLMmrx7FH
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak486Please respect copyright.PENANAF9icrYm1Sq
with opaque skin, no one can see through486Please respect copyright.PENANAyCBfHCU5kj
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet486Please respect copyright.PENANAUpBBhlL5HB
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind486Please respect copyright.PENANAscNr7W7aEX
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,486Please respect copyright.PENANAhlgruEZjrs
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?486Please respect copyright.PENANACQ9ZZh833J
The colour of soothing cold on your skin486Please respect copyright.PENANAhCdMRfthtz
healing and giving back to you486Please respect copyright.PENANA6NI2128SHs
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky486Please respect copyright.PENANAvjBKxBkRgo
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots486Please respect copyright.PENANAE6hrDMWYcD
In the grandiose world you barely know,486Please respect copyright.PENANAGcYJOgLTIW
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.486Please respect copyright.PENANAFDwa4o15tw
the questions that dangle and form in your head486Please respect copyright.PENANAhXVOAw0nDm
with pages of answers waiting to be known486Please respect copyright.PENANA8wrnHwNvUf
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say486Please respect copyright.PENANAYwJU8w9CWX
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids486Please respect copyright.PENANA0TaOcuMLzo
The facts are true when illumination shows486Please respect copyright.PENANAMdHSMSDhxl
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?486Please respect copyright.PENANAYWOoVSZfXZ
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking486Please respect copyright.PENANA009Uin7Krj
Is it true that you're even alone?486Please respect copyright.PENANARRdvL5gYtL
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,486Please respect copyright.PENANAwGxd2KOTIs
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.486Please respect copyright.PENANAOnNxSEr96c
It can hold on no matter how violent,486Please respect copyright.PENANADKqsIsww1N
The storm is strong but so is violet.486Please respect copyright.PENANAucstbFIG3P
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope486Please respect copyright.PENANA8lQSPn1pBM
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.486Please respect copyright.PENANAD6uDfzRdu6
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore486Please respect copyright.PENANAhDy7Fs564i
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown486Please respect copyright.PENANAGDQbdKkuB1
the candles that show off your face will drip486Please respect copyright.PENANAlHWJHyXL12
an increasingly pungent violet486Please respect copyright.PENANAG7BBrhMZAm
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself486Please respect copyright.PENANA4OvSF47EvW
your framed mirror is brightly lit486Please respect copyright.PENANAQiBU4w4zei
with a once beautiful violet.
