a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,424Please respect copyright.PENANAK6YB9uMAvo
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 424Please respect copyright.PENANAiViobrSqeF
pounds against your head424Please respect copyright.PENANAUV1s6Ca1Fe
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.424Please respect copyright.PENANAvb51Ou5mEs
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force424Please respect copyright.PENANA7rCxki54sE
lurching at what you think has to be said424Please respect copyright.PENANA6YBtMtqvpa
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too424Please respect copyright.PENANA5iBAZOYahb
Yet all sound is compressed deep down424Please respect copyright.PENANAxbGMDFyWHC
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led424Please respect copyright.PENANAnRIwiOn62Q
For it too is also a passionate red.424Please respect copyright.PENANABbKmPdjY83
When eyes are meeting and holding stance424Please respect copyright.PENANAZS5U02FKIo
revelling in what doesn't need to be said424Please respect copyright.PENANAJUOx2o6XZv
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin424Please respect copyright.PENANAOQmMkZnyrY
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes424Please respect copyright.PENANAV1U93LPRzs
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew424Please respect copyright.PENANAVN90zogZ2z
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.424Please respect copyright.PENANAItidHincMs
The music that blasts your ears with no pain424Please respect copyright.PENANAemUBgzW2O9
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view424Please respect copyright.PENANAuhF6noDEda
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows424Please respect copyright.PENANA3ynHlRqiKY
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands424Please respect copyright.PENANA4o1mjBbsVv
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you424Please respect copyright.PENANAu69Dl52bj4
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.424Please respect copyright.PENANAwes4A49J0p
So is the screech of swerving tires424Please respect copyright.PENANAVKbJnDmHTf
You realize late that the headlights are too424Please respect copyright.PENANAlXqinWQDrE
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin424Please respect copyright.PENANAEzHGd2XCK8
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds424Please respect copyright.PENANANK1tz28ljB
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello424Please respect copyright.PENANAUJF6Q5Yt5d
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 424Please respect copyright.PENANAh3RN62OUt6
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade424Please respect copyright.PENANAvbgELJaZG1
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow424Please respect copyright.PENANAWKeRAOwcZg
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?424Please respect copyright.PENANABglcKTTD73
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?424Please respect copyright.PENANA6u8Ou9veva
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold424Please respect copyright.PENANAtJDWtVCH88
But alas, they're only yellow.424Please respect copyright.PENANAPDLJe0AGIp
With treasures piled high in decadent glory424Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Waue3XmZ
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold424Please respect copyright.PENANAfF4ZzirnNR
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins424Please respect copyright.PENANANpMj2jhhNh
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 424Please respect copyright.PENANAdTWzJ86KX9
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being424Please respect copyright.PENANAdtut4pdPds
But still, you are green with bottled envy.424Please respect copyright.PENANAMoWuNZ5TUR
As the ivy infects all that it brushes424Please respect copyright.PENANAObvI9WOes7
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve424Please respect copyright.PENANAuvjfqvfx2U
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow424Please respect copyright.PENANAxQL0qYEdzl
When it's isolated from power and stinging want424Please respect copyright.PENANANHvSHzph9L
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen424Please respect copyright.PENANAGtcHqtzHjG
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green424Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z3p8Nl35V
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns424Please respect copyright.PENANAfJZ5BVEZXu
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached424Please respect copyright.PENANASleV7ylkfE
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over424Please respect copyright.PENANAFyuapzPSig
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy424Please respect copyright.PENANAKPwhcFmB9B
with total submersion you realize you424Please respect copyright.PENANAOm5sTrfLTx
cannot see anything but infinite blue424Please respect copyright.PENANAh2sJD6LMd7
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak424Please respect copyright.PENANAxwqBqVzgz2
with opaque skin, no one can see through424Please respect copyright.PENANALqjmvRErPY
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet424Please respect copyright.PENANAPe9lGhWdCU
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind424Please respect copyright.PENANAc44zW8X2mg
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,424Please respect copyright.PENANAfyAe4oDr9D
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?424Please respect copyright.PENANAezBsCTw8rU
The colour of soothing cold on your skin424Please respect copyright.PENANAVYd6x0cD3r
healing and giving back to you424Please respect copyright.PENANAZgZhfv7Izb
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky424Please respect copyright.PENANAS69yDj5LeS
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots424Please respect copyright.PENANA3U1se4sxHd
In the grandiose world you barely know,424Please respect copyright.PENANA7YZz2ZJAdu
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.424Please respect copyright.PENANAAjXvYszX7W
the questions that dangle and form in your head424Please respect copyright.PENANAZbWfMTxm9T
with pages of answers waiting to be known424Please respect copyright.PENANA7WHuJzRxFU
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say424Please respect copyright.PENANAUDKhgNIi7x
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids424Please respect copyright.PENANAyyqGb87NzO
The facts are true when illumination shows424Please respect copyright.PENANACnKBCQpwkG
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?424Please respect copyright.PENANAPCFZnAc2Nz
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking424Please respect copyright.PENANAuRySSTGp91
Is it true that you're even alone?424Please respect copyright.PENANAzAfopi4sOU
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,424Please respect copyright.PENANAazDoMqlz1h
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.424Please respect copyright.PENANAi5mltFuZuD
It can hold on no matter how violent,424Please respect copyright.PENANAQtSozvvqw2
The storm is strong but so is violet.424Please respect copyright.PENANAvb4O3OIkqx
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope424Please respect copyright.PENANA4CkzJZUqNo
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.424Please respect copyright.PENANAB218M7Hz2r
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore424Please respect copyright.PENANANNwIt5U7bX
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown424Please respect copyright.PENANAh0rUWXfPCo
the candles that show off your face will drip424Please respect copyright.PENANAWLFEPAWwmV
an increasingly pungent violet424Please respect copyright.PENANAF3fo7VaufC
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself424Please respect copyright.PENANAkWODjZLePd
your framed mirror is brightly lit424Please respect copyright.PENANAZcH17EDRgE
with a once beautiful violet.
