a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,352Please respect copyright.PENANAoToylb8ihP
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 352Please respect copyright.PENANALTaXUIh5qF
pounds against your head352Please respect copyright.PENANAAmeSzXCSWF
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.352Please respect copyright.PENANAaHt87aE2D0
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force352Please respect copyright.PENANAYNTQGrOqft
lurching at what you think has to be said352Please respect copyright.PENANAQsXw1pXdBP
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too352Please respect copyright.PENANABDpVngHtWC
Yet all sound is compressed deep down352Please respect copyright.PENANAgIA7WIwnd5
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led352Please respect copyright.PENANAf2Qg7aCEW7
For it too is also a passionate red.352Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rf1WFQ5GR
When eyes are meeting and holding stance352Please respect copyright.PENANAfk4iE6wPcU
revelling in what doesn't need to be said352Please respect copyright.PENANASyGsqVH4Qs
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin352Please respect copyright.PENANAM6tOo3Ku7b
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes352Please respect copyright.PENANAjuZxbCnlv8
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew352Please respect copyright.PENANAFHeP3n4q7X
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.352Please respect copyright.PENANAxdCstHMg9C
The music that blasts your ears with no pain352Please respect copyright.PENANAJBIdIifQVS
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view352Please respect copyright.PENANAUwjwNXJ5PS
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows352Please respect copyright.PENANA0RHuZiIZ9t
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands352Please respect copyright.PENANA9eKd2k3Xvu
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you352Please respect copyright.PENANAPofHNd3Lu7
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.352Please respect copyright.PENANAGtX5LaDHZi
So is the screech of swerving tires352Please respect copyright.PENANAeiEmE4iimx
You realize late that the headlights are too352Please respect copyright.PENANAM9HHXdw5gZ
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin352Please respect copyright.PENANAf7RQMuVniQ
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds352Please respect copyright.PENANApWpViB4xtp
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello352Please respect copyright.PENANAejtJ5e9oXi
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 352Please respect copyright.PENANAwASFFyt6b4
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade352Please respect copyright.PENANAn7u5sgJHX0
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow352Please respect copyright.PENANAgbEoUvtlhS
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?352Please respect copyright.PENANADSyPTarcvF
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?352Please respect copyright.PENANAp2kLP8NX8p
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold352Please respect copyright.PENANAssJh9TssTC
But alas, they're only yellow.352Please respect copyright.PENANAkmH9cYPeBJ
With treasures piled high in decadent glory352Please respect copyright.PENANA7FgcCIy91h
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold352Please respect copyright.PENANAegEbel0Ibs
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins352Please respect copyright.PENANA7yj64Zny2T
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 352Please respect copyright.PENANA1s317BhCOw
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being352Please respect copyright.PENANAzHlBW60YzW
But still, you are green with bottled envy.352Please respect copyright.PENANAoLm8Aa5j37
As the ivy infects all that it brushes352Please respect copyright.PENANABKeSOzqM7J
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve352Please respect copyright.PENANADxseEXPiJp
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow352Please respect copyright.PENANAPJlCSry02J
When it's isolated from power and stinging want352Please respect copyright.PENANAedTuGtuosh
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen352Please respect copyright.PENANAlMgUZ5TdtN
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green352Please respect copyright.PENANAlhFWpdDiCU
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns352Please respect copyright.PENANAptWxzncGpp
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached352Please respect copyright.PENANAUjM2zNdV3L
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over352Please respect copyright.PENANAak3cJOnZRg
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy352Please respect copyright.PENANAVZvZgKyF0g
with total submersion you realize you352Please respect copyright.PENANA9XwXIWGJYJ
cannot see anything but infinite blue352Please respect copyright.PENANAmYkt5TGyjI
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak352Please respect copyright.PENANAi4rymmJ9qA
with opaque skin, no one can see through352Please respect copyright.PENANAQJJwrMcI37
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet352Please respect copyright.PENANAoBPUvnwAwY
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind352Please respect copyright.PENANAtkfSEPpIcN
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,352Please respect copyright.PENANAV3VBCl4kf4
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?352Please respect copyright.PENANAvH2JHbCBUb
The colour of soothing cold on your skin352Please respect copyright.PENANAvGYNr5bM6G
healing and giving back to you352Please respect copyright.PENANAilag7zTodR
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky352Please respect copyright.PENANAGBOHnZWYSX
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots352Please respect copyright.PENANA2TjaN7ItU3
In the grandiose world you barely know,352Please respect copyright.PENANAixqKCarOLf
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.352Please respect copyright.PENANAzWcas2I6jN
the questions that dangle and form in your head352Please respect copyright.PENANAF8PZgUxlpX
with pages of answers waiting to be known352Please respect copyright.PENANAXTIhXqgWZF
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say352Please respect copyright.PENANANgo7dOurXu
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids352Please respect copyright.PENANAcbuaku6Npb
The facts are true when illumination shows352Please respect copyright.PENANAi0auIDlO6N
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?352Please respect copyright.PENANAz2fBMy9rpC
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking352Please respect copyright.PENANA0U23HOLh28
Is it true that you're even alone?352Please respect copyright.PENANAFZvtuaHIcD
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,352Please respect copyright.PENANAjFv5T2d0CN
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.352Please respect copyright.PENANA9hUGC32ROu
It can hold on no matter how violent,352Please respect copyright.PENANAwuuCQS4uzl
The storm is strong but so is violet.352Please respect copyright.PENANARrPGGtKHOq
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope352Please respect copyright.PENANAgmXP6S4iaG
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.352Please respect copyright.PENANALjYm7EnNBh
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore352Please respect copyright.PENANAFy7K0Elg3S
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown352Please respect copyright.PENANA87mNp9XySS
the candles that show off your face will drip352Please respect copyright.PENANA2GQV4otB5T
an increasingly pungent violet352Please respect copyright.PENANABmxuJaNBJU
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself352Please respect copyright.PENANA3LGT4IwWfW
your framed mirror is brightly lit352Please respect copyright.PENANAww1pAfA0Ms
with a once beautiful violet.
