a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,422Please respect copyright.PENANAg80awjFhQW
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 422Please respect copyright.PENANAXd0K03wU8a
pounds against your head422Please respect copyright.PENANAR4xV2FFab0
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.422Please respect copyright.PENANATJAMbAY26N
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force422Please respect copyright.PENANAd1uu3Z2ads
lurching at what you think has to be said422Please respect copyright.PENANA5czpvrhmVZ
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too422Please respect copyright.PENANAaFiws6fC4L
Yet all sound is compressed deep down422Please respect copyright.PENANABBqXI6B1GF
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led422Please respect copyright.PENANAyT22IvGHUG
For it too is also a passionate red.422Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8n3BU9T3P
When eyes are meeting and holding stance422Please respect copyright.PENANAVmgE7GsH1B
revelling in what doesn't need to be said422Please respect copyright.PENANALY3zM7Ro3v
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin422Please respect copyright.PENANARbaoeRD9dT
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes422Please respect copyright.PENANAREUFie4dRv
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew422Please respect copyright.PENANAYMza3sp0aa
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.422Please respect copyright.PENANAWg6rweN4Uh
The music that blasts your ears with no pain422Please respect copyright.PENANAuh75aQGj8N
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view422Please respect copyright.PENANA1St6N3pcxf
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows422Please respect copyright.PENANA8l76yTg0QS
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands422Please respect copyright.PENANAX4xVjffXOL
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you422Please respect copyright.PENANAwJsv4HCrsH
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.422Please respect copyright.PENANALSMSLj0hWu
So is the screech of swerving tires422Please respect copyright.PENANA2od1D8oXfp
You realize late that the headlights are too422Please respect copyright.PENANAoJxftKvcQc
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin422Please respect copyright.PENANAqMrh8czWDP
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds422Please respect copyright.PENANAgHqNPhJm81
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello422Please respect copyright.PENANA2dYy9PcwlT
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 422Please respect copyright.PENANAJqBGzabyxa
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade422Please respect copyright.PENANAPrzdb4T7ZS
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow422Please respect copyright.PENANAQsMLgu1vDI
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?422Please respect copyright.PENANApCz0DEMENR
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?422Please respect copyright.PENANAMmahLr6tDi
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold422Please respect copyright.PENANAf95jAfN4ET
But alas, they're only yellow.422Please respect copyright.PENANAJqGchRKpaQ
With treasures piled high in decadent glory422Please respect copyright.PENANAbSdqAPXADr
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold422Please respect copyright.PENANAGpbK5HQw62
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins422Please respect copyright.PENANAJizyTKkap8
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 422Please respect copyright.PENANA58aw8m0ekG
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being422Please respect copyright.PENANAKMAav1OmQo
But still, you are green with bottled envy.422Please respect copyright.PENANARs6GuPEBCH
As the ivy infects all that it brushes422Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZQUgFnJ2V
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve422Please respect copyright.PENANAbuhFjJuMBm
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow422Please respect copyright.PENANA8bthno1gmi
When it's isolated from power and stinging want422Please respect copyright.PENANAIXz63i4r2Q
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen422Please respect copyright.PENANASiQC8JBTgv
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green422Please respect copyright.PENANAzefrNSmMQ8
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns422Please respect copyright.PENANAZM74CzFN9Y
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached422Please respect copyright.PENANApxtDQtnp59
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over422Please respect copyright.PENANAaVz7lUIv2N
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy422Please respect copyright.PENANAQihFNVoTGI
with total submersion you realize you422Please respect copyright.PENANA1pwryb7oWD
cannot see anything but infinite blue422Please respect copyright.PENANADtxedMPzmP
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak422Please respect copyright.PENANASZxIDxOnkp
with opaque skin, no one can see through422Please respect copyright.PENANAmu66FU4zgf
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet422Please respect copyright.PENANAjkFC1AvunH
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind422Please respect copyright.PENANAKBQU68dslx
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,422Please respect copyright.PENANAsaLhhFhJaY
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?422Please respect copyright.PENANA4CQ13k1t6z
The colour of soothing cold on your skin422Please respect copyright.PENANACVpR6NzF3F
healing and giving back to you422Please respect copyright.PENANAeir1v1nXvO
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky422Please respect copyright.PENANAOudbROwwZI
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots422Please respect copyright.PENANAZXQGpVpAiG
In the grandiose world you barely know,422Please respect copyright.PENANAvOd8kD8v57
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.422Please respect copyright.PENANAnxBWPbYg6z
the questions that dangle and form in your head422Please respect copyright.PENANAxMlva2gzzM
with pages of answers waiting to be known422Please respect copyright.PENANAiPksdiDgNk
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say422Please respect copyright.PENANAwf2Hq4ymNL
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids422Please respect copyright.PENANAjW6RVFLqQo
The facts are true when illumination shows422Please respect copyright.PENANAISCMz71YPG
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?422Please respect copyright.PENANAeM5tmOnfUz
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking422Please respect copyright.PENANA9dcdAwfVxO
Is it true that you're even alone?422Please respect copyright.PENANAsokpgHQOXj
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,422Please respect copyright.PENANAlNwQ2xYQIU
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.422Please respect copyright.PENANA1tcSvExDKF
It can hold on no matter how violent,422Please respect copyright.PENANA1DCxa7c3WB
The storm is strong but so is violet.422Please respect copyright.PENANArOr61w8XiM
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope422Please respect copyright.PENANADAytyPpVb2
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.422Please respect copyright.PENANAj7TTfBZMRQ
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore422Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cwxt8Qyo7
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown422Please respect copyright.PENANAsIx21EmU4Y
the candles that show off your face will drip422Please respect copyright.PENANAANOYqbUPlQ
an increasingly pungent violet422Please respect copyright.PENANAY1pyNj72dH
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself422Please respect copyright.PENANANGEewprggh
your framed mirror is brightly lit422Please respect copyright.PENANAp7zQ6kT4AV
with a once beautiful violet.
