a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,354Please respect copyright.PENANASOekZzxrOk
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 354Please respect copyright.PENANAQIkZiTbisK
pounds against your head354Please respect copyright.PENANAmv8eRgszDC
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.354Please respect copyright.PENANAeW6iGEgGAD
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force354Please respect copyright.PENANAaoOEg7bjFo
lurching at what you think has to be said354Please respect copyright.PENANAbDZG6PX1XG
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too354Please respect copyright.PENANAhMPhbmFK22
Yet all sound is compressed deep down354Please respect copyright.PENANAbKH78aMkvp
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led354Please respect copyright.PENANASCDh3wfx7m
For it too is also a passionate red.354Please respect copyright.PENANA3sV9iIab2L
When eyes are meeting and holding stance354Please respect copyright.PENANA9SQsy3Ytcg
revelling in what doesn't need to be said354Please respect copyright.PENANAbdIWkMEvSi
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin354Please respect copyright.PENANAEEe4phUbqt
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes354Please respect copyright.PENANAwy2H7lzVN2
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew354Please respect copyright.PENANABQdr2MwmeQ
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.354Please respect copyright.PENANAKnnWb4VxLO
The music that blasts your ears with no pain354Please respect copyright.PENANAIvqdHCMKEK
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view354Please respect copyright.PENANAnYB2a2gbRg
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows354Please respect copyright.PENANAV0MUqEPrf2
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands354Please respect copyright.PENANAsYvIisSrO5
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you354Please respect copyright.PENANAajyatpA5Tt
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.354Please respect copyright.PENANAAtGak5X3yh
So is the screech of swerving tires354Please respect copyright.PENANAE3r6Y5f0Qt
You realize late that the headlights are too354Please respect copyright.PENANAdMfIh7Pjoy
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin354Please respect copyright.PENANAN0FOsu9V9w
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds354Please respect copyright.PENANAThIf5VxuMe
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello354Please respect copyright.PENANAJPQTpkJNAN
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 354Please respect copyright.PENANA65EXoOu773
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade354Please respect copyright.PENANAchGzC4s4S5
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow354Please respect copyright.PENANAtNdHWkDPyP
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?354Please respect copyright.PENANAqiyPHe4AGE
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?354Please respect copyright.PENANA8tDazPnEFo
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold354Please respect copyright.PENANAvGygqo04TZ
But alas, they're only yellow.354Please respect copyright.PENANAiDpL39aOHV
With treasures piled high in decadent glory354Please respect copyright.PENANAzcMQk1ycT5
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold354Please respect copyright.PENANAWIdQPvZgQX
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins354Please respect copyright.PENANA38NlsUvB3o
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 354Please respect copyright.PENANAOe7umx8lpk
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being354Please respect copyright.PENANAxKGbCazLqV
But still, you are green with bottled envy.354Please respect copyright.PENANAqfuKCYVQuj
As the ivy infects all that it brushes354Please respect copyright.PENANApKwf2TjfRP
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve354Please respect copyright.PENANAjOWYvWbcqA
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow354Please respect copyright.PENANATuWkySgWFY
When it's isolated from power and stinging want354Please respect copyright.PENANAWZRGiz8nYH
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen354Please respect copyright.PENANAtwK5O7tUbv
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green354Please respect copyright.PENANAnHsiEWgEUd
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns354Please respect copyright.PENANAP2nUxtzhOI
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached354Please respect copyright.PENANAht2zDTSfQv
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over354Please respect copyright.PENANAGLkjvY8yd6
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy354Please respect copyright.PENANARQyA5iXGem
with total submersion you realize you354Please respect copyright.PENANAitnY138TDL
cannot see anything but infinite blue354Please respect copyright.PENANAFPwqmNKapx
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak354Please respect copyright.PENANA1kcrDia9cm
with opaque skin, no one can see through354Please respect copyright.PENANARqgwIVhoi8
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet354Please respect copyright.PENANAd31By6Txln
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind354Please respect copyright.PENANA3p8oY1I5mx
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,354Please respect copyright.PENANAXCvn9nxvUN
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?354Please respect copyright.PENANAHRpRLoLIuO
The colour of soothing cold on your skin354Please respect copyright.PENANAnlAaDvTLzt
healing and giving back to you354Please respect copyright.PENANALxZPnSXpPX
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky354Please respect copyright.PENANA33x0ACcSO8
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots354Please respect copyright.PENANATKCKRwZIgD
In the grandiose world you barely know,354Please respect copyright.PENANAUjf5DOYpdM
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.354Please respect copyright.PENANAXoYOmOInsU
the questions that dangle and form in your head354Please respect copyright.PENANARR71BA6jtq
with pages of answers waiting to be known354Please respect copyright.PENANATuFffNBgsS
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say354Please respect copyright.PENANA41LCHZyOln
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids354Please respect copyright.PENANA7tpe45xw1n
The facts are true when illumination shows354Please respect copyright.PENANAdu1mNL5B8U
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?354Please respect copyright.PENANAPhRRqbP4vt
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking354Please respect copyright.PENANAuccwsIBWt8
Is it true that you're even alone?354Please respect copyright.PENANAjHlTLnoISo
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,354Please respect copyright.PENANAHZHTPFSoO8
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.354Please respect copyright.PENANAJbYe2I23Wx
It can hold on no matter how violent,354Please respect copyright.PENANAqXsRnxprLk
The storm is strong but so is violet.354Please respect copyright.PENANAx1SsaIolBY
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope354Please respect copyright.PENANA2UzlAUso2N
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.354Please respect copyright.PENANAEV1hxqSTz3
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore354Please respect copyright.PENANAPweiMir129
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown354Please respect copyright.PENANA4rIDiRjfbC
the candles that show off your face will drip354Please respect copyright.PENANAVppumrrosK
an increasingly pungent violet354Please respect copyright.PENANAAK2u6AOOkF
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself354Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lae1gefVw
your framed mirror is brightly lit354Please respect copyright.PENANACsgxAJqpfg
with a once beautiful violet.
