a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,428Please respect copyright.PENANAvmUE1r0pPM
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 428Please respect copyright.PENANAWQBOm9O8kF
pounds against your head428Please respect copyright.PENANAys6elG1IlC
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.428Please respect copyright.PENANAiglRBBV3G7
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force428Please respect copyright.PENANADToWcOTiYi
lurching at what you think has to be said428Please respect copyright.PENANAsE6detFPrK
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too428Please respect copyright.PENANAUtjbXaUIK9
Yet all sound is compressed deep down428Please respect copyright.PENANAFyUjgU6mag
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led428Please respect copyright.PENANAqr4oY10RPK
For it too is also a passionate red.428Please respect copyright.PENANAOIbA4zNtj6
When eyes are meeting and holding stance428Please respect copyright.PENANAbd1DON5UQc
revelling in what doesn't need to be said428Please respect copyright.PENANACV3tc4qrTo
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin428Please respect copyright.PENANAXA71ogf4iC
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes428Please respect copyright.PENANA905wfCrIYh
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew428Please respect copyright.PENANAlVHutns9Dr
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.428Please respect copyright.PENANA6VnV528Q7R
The music that blasts your ears with no pain428Please respect copyright.PENANAMuu7uhHIxu
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view428Please respect copyright.PENANAcUkqO8IElH
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows428Please respect copyright.PENANAqLC4EENzZu
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands428Please respect copyright.PENANAAEwDVa33L3
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you428Please respect copyright.PENANAqLTbLhpFqv
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.428Please respect copyright.PENANA9CtImCrDIq
So is the screech of swerving tires428Please respect copyright.PENANAsWqr3tky6Q
You realize late that the headlights are too428Please respect copyright.PENANAJf7TakevtL
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin428Please respect copyright.PENANAT7RS5h2vsF
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds428Please respect copyright.PENANAZILJKHtYzW
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello428Please respect copyright.PENANACDv7vjPUbX
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 428Please respect copyright.PENANADFCJmFUhmo
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade428Please respect copyright.PENANAhC9jAEirMR
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow428Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xaw8clM9g
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?428Please respect copyright.PENANAKL2NQPqBNL
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?428Please respect copyright.PENANA9l98l234D8
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold428Please respect copyright.PENANA01blr5IUFL
But alas, they're only yellow.428Please respect copyright.PENANAjnTOyGKQEp
With treasures piled high in decadent glory428Please respect copyright.PENANAesD1ynaenG
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold428Please respect copyright.PENANAPwUzjGqoF0
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins428Please respect copyright.PENANA1F1i4gKn9h
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 428Please respect copyright.PENANAOMyyxjfgVK
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being428Please respect copyright.PENANAmgaNBzx55z
But still, you are green with bottled envy.428Please respect copyright.PENANAGUgv4DBq0G
As the ivy infects all that it brushes428Please respect copyright.PENANAzRE9VYSevy
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve428Please respect copyright.PENANAEd7SlPLfz6
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow428Please respect copyright.PENANA2omo5vsa5t
When it's isolated from power and stinging want428Please respect copyright.PENANATd1i5HboIW
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen428Please respect copyright.PENANAlL9eavibR3
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green428Please respect copyright.PENANADUOVtX6jnb
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns428Please respect copyright.PENANAulA8mrE944
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached428Please respect copyright.PENANACT5U86LiSx
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over428Please respect copyright.PENANAOOWMCCOVTg
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy428Please respect copyright.PENANApDkqkBJU3y
with total submersion you realize you428Please respect copyright.PENANAoYttROWvDk
cannot see anything but infinite blue428Please respect copyright.PENANABBgallNYAD
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak428Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fa4uk1D14
with opaque skin, no one can see through428Please respect copyright.PENANAjJeYqhBBHQ
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet428Please respect copyright.PENANADAGw6gNvmj
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind428Please respect copyright.PENANAu3xk3NKyyZ
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,428Please respect copyright.PENANAsy6eppIhNd
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?428Please respect copyright.PENANAVt1Fyr9xt9
The colour of soothing cold on your skin428Please respect copyright.PENANAJg1HOkprgf
healing and giving back to you428Please respect copyright.PENANAHbV0WmX8mK
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky428Please respect copyright.PENANAMxRsQAjIrw
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots428Please respect copyright.PENANAmD0FgS7LPE
In the grandiose world you barely know,428Please respect copyright.PENANA8YFtfk6zi1
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.428Please respect copyright.PENANAQYtbfjqKV0
the questions that dangle and form in your head428Please respect copyright.PENANAERiSUyo0ph
with pages of answers waiting to be known428Please respect copyright.PENANAiObjFTMctJ
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say428Please respect copyright.PENANAu02dMQW4gy
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids428Please respect copyright.PENANADtAlzNwbkf
The facts are true when illumination shows428Please respect copyright.PENANALNlTU38uIT
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?428Please respect copyright.PENANAtWWyqYW322
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking428Please respect copyright.PENANAs1qqd5fBZN
Is it true that you're even alone?428Please respect copyright.PENANAZGrP3GumvC
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,428Please respect copyright.PENANA44FPlnILCK
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.428Please respect copyright.PENANA94GeSUJyhq
It can hold on no matter how violent,428Please respect copyright.PENANA8MLjHNDJ7d
The storm is strong but so is violet.428Please respect copyright.PENANAKm9kQ9WDaD
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope428Please respect copyright.PENANA5TOPyZTNJC
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.428Please respect copyright.PENANA21cz1HicPb
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore428Please respect copyright.PENANA7HZG2g5ihb
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown428Please respect copyright.PENANAd5wE8xbgmc
the candles that show off your face will drip428Please respect copyright.PENANAKwXBrCuaPQ
an increasingly pungent violet428Please respect copyright.PENANAkUU5fHHCuW
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself428Please respect copyright.PENANAcTuyMFCTDW
your framed mirror is brightly lit428Please respect copyright.PENANALN4Q6LyIZL
with a once beautiful violet.
