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.PENANAlo0m2luaQV
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 486Please respect copyright.PENANAV01SuwRO44
pounds against your head486Please respect copyright.PENANAz5DuVVA1ZR
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.486Please respect copyright.PENANAkiSwQhzepP
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force486Please respect copyright.PENANAmbCfuAcDft
lurching at what you think has to be said486Please respect copyright.PENANACkGNU74jHs
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too486Please respect copyright.PENANA842fo7LyXe
Yet all sound is compressed deep down486Please respect copyright.PENANAbseHdHbTAV
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led486Please respect copyright.PENANAeWAhkRUKie
For it too is also a passionate red.486Please respect copyright.PENANAaeOkPdAjIY
When eyes are meeting and holding stance486Please respect copyright.PENANAODwRtpdcAk
revelling in what doesn't need to be said486Please respect copyright.PENANAs213UaULUI
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin486Please respect copyright.PENANAp5GP9Ha0cn
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes486Please respect copyright.PENANAlIdE7AMMl1
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew486Please respect copyright.PENANA3hQMq6UDod
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.486Please respect copyright.PENANAXnG5SK5Sp5
The music that blasts your ears with no pain486Please respect copyright.PENANASILYxBxY4q
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view486Please respect copyright.PENANAoosUflQrq5
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows486Please respect copyright.PENANAiG8v4diwCG
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands486Please respect copyright.PENANA34rEkXCVNH
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you486Please respect copyright.PENANAquc7PEdw2W
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.486Please respect copyright.PENANA9hxm2qHPxE
So is the screech of swerving tires486Please respect copyright.PENANAU5jFzADxTQ
You realize late that the headlights are too486Please respect copyright.PENANAam3kOsDCF8
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin486Please respect copyright.PENANA7gBOIkmqXw
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds486Please respect copyright.PENANA8bU5PvN3GM
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello486Please respect copyright.PENANAix5Tl3vY0j
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 486Please respect copyright.PENANAxhdb5wtDNg
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade486Please respect copyright.PENANAgy2p8Mk66M
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow486Please respect copyright.PENANAAaYIkaf4Mj
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?486Please respect copyright.PENANAbnK9r486b1
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?486Please respect copyright.PENANAtDESuEaP49
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold486Please respect copyright.PENANAKce87nQN1r
But alas, they're only yellow.486Please respect copyright.PENANAmkosErvY8E
With treasures piled high in decadent glory486Please respect copyright.PENANAi4BWt02yKH
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold486Please respect copyright.PENANAnvU6B9mtcn
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins486Please respect copyright.PENANAAKZC8Acgyy
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 486Please respect copyright.PENANAmfTILy57OW
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being486Please respect copyright.PENANAn9X5F4lZ8E
But still, you are green with bottled envy.486Please respect copyright.PENANAc6f3TVpOiR
As the ivy infects all that it brushes486Please respect copyright.PENANABfBgYM4xWA
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve486Please respect copyright.PENANA6yOWSooDFl
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow486Please respect copyright.PENANABGVkpbW8V0
When it's isolated from power and stinging want486Please respect copyright.PENANA446xJsPg1h
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen486Please respect copyright.PENANAuJeclaclrg
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green486Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ4jAECKWF
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns486Please respect copyright.PENANAClTPKQN1Oq
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached486Please respect copyright.PENANAC9iC83VlxK
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over486Please respect copyright.PENANAC2ooN2UpRC
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy486Please respect copyright.PENANAkHcXttASMg
with total submersion you realize you486Please respect copyright.PENANASLzjziWO2g
cannot see anything but infinite blue486Please respect copyright.PENANAoJH55Ezmcl
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak486Please respect copyright.PENANAAWYeOHnwvD
with opaque skin, no one can see through486Please respect copyright.PENANAdWRheWN8B7
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet486Please respect copyright.PENANAHfKBpzknp8
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind486Please respect copyright.PENANA6YkEqOzd97
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,486Please respect copyright.PENANAS6vewlHF4E
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?486Please respect copyright.PENANAdGbFPmmzx7
The colour of soothing cold on your skin486Please respect copyright.PENANAFJunzo2np7
healing and giving back to you486Please respect copyright.PENANADPEwBnftGO
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky486Please respect copyright.PENANA3O9fRmk0eL
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots486Please respect copyright.PENANA9AE1ME3Qgn
In the grandiose world you barely know,486Please respect copyright.PENANAWNDRkLdn2n
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.486Please respect copyright.PENANA3MUR1c7s9X
the questions that dangle and form in your head486Please respect copyright.PENANAGKoJfsMaN9
with pages of answers waiting to be known486Please respect copyright.PENANARQM3E1xeIC
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say486Please respect copyright.PENANANkuMGHWph9
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids486Please respect copyright.PENANA2S03XKgWJV
The facts are true when illumination shows486Please respect copyright.PENANARzfbb7SEGv
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?486Please respect copyright.PENANAxOnIxbNuFf
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking486Please respect copyright.PENANApXXRv5Dxjd
Is it true that you're even alone?486Please respect copyright.PENANAbVkKX69eTJ
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,486Please respect copyright.PENANAboZO1wYBNj
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.486Please respect copyright.PENANAsNbNnPd4Ra
It can hold on no matter how violent,486Please respect copyright.PENANALRviuFjjA7
The storm is strong but so is violet.486Please respect copyright.PENANAWSBKH9tdN2
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope486Please respect copyright.PENANAVal19Sf70I
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.486Please respect copyright.PENANAujwykE68PG
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore486Please respect copyright.PENANAeadMvxceXv
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown486Please respect copyright.PENANAALDTmxbRz1
the candles that show off your face will drip486Please respect copyright.PENANAVcDIc3yMlT
an increasingly pungent violet486Please respect copyright.PENANAKkRVWTaWJU
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself486Please respect copyright.PENANAw9gD4zuX3C
your framed mirror is brightly lit486Please respect copyright.PENANAw713lPM4uX
with a once beautiful violet.
