a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,456Please respect copyright.PENANAVsNZWoIN6e
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 456Please respect copyright.PENANAHUJEh9zPJM
pounds against your head456Please respect copyright.PENANAJndiWQVEzg
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.456Please respect copyright.PENANAAgFvSUSwXp
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force456Please respect copyright.PENANAQKulMM2PBx
lurching at what you think has to be said456Please respect copyright.PENANARLaXLHgpdk
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too456Please respect copyright.PENANA6UKwClLC5q
Yet all sound is compressed deep down456Please respect copyright.PENANA7vd69nPaz7
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led456Please respect copyright.PENANAZMUJUnESAn
For it too is also a passionate red.456Please respect copyright.PENANA20hRaqz2RT
When eyes are meeting and holding stance456Please respect copyright.PENANAGPtQNHHpkr
revelling in what doesn't need to be said456Please respect copyright.PENANAoTaHGKtBOb
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin456Please respect copyright.PENANAdHlQuPqNzI
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes456Please respect copyright.PENANAa31sSQzQoJ
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew456Please respect copyright.PENANAZPc6bctORs
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.456Please respect copyright.PENANARhGthbbOb0
The music that blasts your ears with no pain456Please respect copyright.PENANAoTGzGKcboC
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view456Please respect copyright.PENANAFETqGONF28
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows456Please respect copyright.PENANAMbjMRhDbEI
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands456Please respect copyright.PENANAPWAIa1ZyjO
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you456Please respect copyright.PENANACPWKLJFSQv
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.456Please respect copyright.PENANAPl0EFo0RxF
So is the screech of swerving tires456Please respect copyright.PENANAzXIXya3jHz
You realize late that the headlights are too456Please respect copyright.PENANAxq2K9kBo79
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin456Please respect copyright.PENANA3XiNLnNMgV
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds456Please respect copyright.PENANAhtzRpv0y79
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello456Please respect copyright.PENANAFaHEZHCCtJ
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 456Please respect copyright.PENANADensGbD7Zq
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade456Please respect copyright.PENANAuV4T8vr9Wy
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow456Please respect copyright.PENANA98ntGn6dob
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?456Please respect copyright.PENANAveXNSlFrrT
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?456Please respect copyright.PENANARWwPBzl4j4
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold456Please respect copyright.PENANACSTcwFauln
But alas, they're only yellow.456Please respect copyright.PENANAvsYhxI0HJp
With treasures piled high in decadent glory456Please respect copyright.PENANAtAVADR10xC
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold456Please respect copyright.PENANAINwoMZyv6N
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins456Please respect copyright.PENANAqkF1mHylyS
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 456Please respect copyright.PENANADtLgE9sBfy
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being456Please respect copyright.PENANAOYARcOPjwb
But still, you are green with bottled envy.456Please respect copyright.PENANAVyzSzDz0HQ
As the ivy infects all that it brushes456Please respect copyright.PENANAEMTgaaEIHq
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve456Please respect copyright.PENANAiYgkZ1qRkN
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow456Please respect copyright.PENANAn1gSnUp3EL
When it's isolated from power and stinging want456Please respect copyright.PENANAvvCQAPFKoZ
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen456Please respect copyright.PENANApYujs5VhnM
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green456Please respect copyright.PENANAmLV7xY5Tx8
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns456Please respect copyright.PENANAcMnIMdpj9P
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached456Please respect copyright.PENANAcQeJtYE4pL
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over456Please respect copyright.PENANA5J94BynqZm
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy456Please respect copyright.PENANAMN62gLMfyv
with total submersion you realize you456Please respect copyright.PENANARsUaNqwWhx
cannot see anything but infinite blue456Please respect copyright.PENANAROMXVvfVIG
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak456Please respect copyright.PENANAmRembaK8B5
with opaque skin, no one can see through456Please respect copyright.PENANABW18lvfV4O
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet456Please respect copyright.PENANAzVkqZRkRPG
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind456Please respect copyright.PENANAP4D9Qb2TwB
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,456Please respect copyright.PENANAgxxwTIbxPd
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?456Please respect copyright.PENANAp7MgMY6Rxp
The colour of soothing cold on your skin456Please respect copyright.PENANAtpLC9UAF7N
healing and giving back to you456Please respect copyright.PENANAaL5ENjlke1
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky456Please respect copyright.PENANAuoiyif6bw1
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots456Please respect copyright.PENANAlXf4c6r1GP
In the grandiose world you barely know,456Please respect copyright.PENANAqMCTiH9Y98
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.456Please respect copyright.PENANAsy8ry0nJ4J
the questions that dangle and form in your head456Please respect copyright.PENANAk4gcMeb3LG
with pages of answers waiting to be known456Please respect copyright.PENANAy2key1fNBE
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say456Please respect copyright.PENANAVRKRad5Qux
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids456Please respect copyright.PENANAlWohFLsEgH
The facts are true when illumination shows456Please respect copyright.PENANAwzHGLvxHxU
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?456Please respect copyright.PENANALDinm5riXp
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking456Please respect copyright.PENANAJdfNP3OzyQ
Is it true that you're even alone?456Please respect copyright.PENANAjqEPxQi3zz
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,456Please respect copyright.PENANAIihAkoyv6s
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.456Please respect copyright.PENANADM2mW3E0Zw
It can hold on no matter how violent,456Please respect copyright.PENANAd1p3cd89lM
The storm is strong but so is violet.456Please respect copyright.PENANAztGjplSS3Y
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope456Please respect copyright.PENANAcDMgUQyJOK
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.456Please respect copyright.PENANA8AvQkHGy38
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore456Please respect copyright.PENANAr7sRkvzI6G
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown456Please respect copyright.PENANA1PWa8Ekgak
the candles that show off your face will drip456Please respect copyright.PENANAaZCxI9SCqR
an increasingly pungent violet456Please respect copyright.PENANAPw5bbY6aAC
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself456Please respect copyright.PENANAFBu98ZAofL
your framed mirror is brightly lit456Please respect copyright.PENANA4D4iSiHT70
with a once beautiful violet.
