a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,492Please respect copyright.PENANAv1RweU1Twy
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 492Please respect copyright.PENANAjXxx3KE2Gl
pounds against your head492Please respect copyright.PENANAAzFsehIy2a
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.492Please respect copyright.PENANAtQwcQKfzzO
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force492Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Zq8ko8nN
lurching at what you think has to be said492Please respect copyright.PENANAqheKGFcO8z
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too492Please respect copyright.PENANABS6JP8O29k
Yet all sound is compressed deep down492Please respect copyright.PENANAEUt8ZttVtK
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led492Please respect copyright.PENANAI2fS3RcCEQ
For it too is also a passionate red.492Please respect copyright.PENANA0xrfDhq2FM
When eyes are meeting and holding stance492Please respect copyright.PENANAFNmTkNORwD
revelling in what doesn't need to be said492Please respect copyright.PENANAWFbx1RZeuc
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin492Please respect copyright.PENANAh4WL0oaMuz
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes492Please respect copyright.PENANAxrEiTA7b1v
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew492Please respect copyright.PENANATcUGYKRH2J
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.492Please respect copyright.PENANAOeOyVZcdCh
The music that blasts your ears with no pain492Please respect copyright.PENANAJyiePXNAuD
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view492Please respect copyright.PENANAe1U9QVeND0
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows492Please respect copyright.PENANAyLUp6k6glp
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands492Please respect copyright.PENANAfgj00a4Wqt
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you492Please respect copyright.PENANAki3Oy5rmUH
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.492Please respect copyright.PENANAykRpvM1Mbc
So is the screech of swerving tires492Please respect copyright.PENANA9TfePHIQp8
You realize late that the headlights are too492Please respect copyright.PENANA2gQUCCt8hV
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin492Please respect copyright.PENANA2wLhaM2Ia9
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds492Please respect copyright.PENANAo58zDt9jcC
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello492Please respect copyright.PENANAN3HQqpMOLe
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAgVfXihZDgf
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade492Please respect copyright.PENANA2LF0TNMmfi
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow492Please respect copyright.PENANAxeJOJIGqLm
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?492Please respect copyright.PENANAIFm3SSDKT2
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?492Please respect copyright.PENANAOKuwwuhG9T
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold492Please respect copyright.PENANAthlXB7Fepf
But alas, they're only yellow.492Please respect copyright.PENANAhvDEsBLZas
With treasures piled high in decadent glory492Please respect copyright.PENANAgBGUWujtAl
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold492Please respect copyright.PENANAm6e3WW7Abf
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins492Please respect copyright.PENANAhtICI9OFtE
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 492Please respect copyright.PENANAdpt1eGajS4
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being492Please respect copyright.PENANANqARMMBHBR
But still, you are green with bottled envy.492Please respect copyright.PENANAAcyhSc1wK4
As the ivy infects all that it brushes492Please respect copyright.PENANA5YbJ8XZAbz
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve492Please respect copyright.PENANAYWOWbJ3N2J
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow492Please respect copyright.PENANAijqXrV6rg9
When it's isolated from power and stinging want492Please respect copyright.PENANAYyoYMtqz88
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen492Please respect copyright.PENANAHM54e0UlPh
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green492Please respect copyright.PENANASBZANK6B5G
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns492Please respect copyright.PENANApoinxenhw3
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached492Please respect copyright.PENANAlB9GGY0Ocb
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over492Please respect copyright.PENANAn5yqJRwnhF
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy492Please respect copyright.PENANAATb7gjsJwq
with total submersion you realize you492Please respect copyright.PENANAQIJLCqLhGx
cannot see anything but infinite blue492Please respect copyright.PENANAHJzVsxvZhy
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak492Please respect copyright.PENANAwnYiddikJQ
with opaque skin, no one can see through492Please respect copyright.PENANA2dCrMePAl5
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet492Please respect copyright.PENANAEhUf2WrYlI
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind492Please respect copyright.PENANApsP3NGbqJl
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,492Please respect copyright.PENANA5sRpIFxkmJ
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?492Please respect copyright.PENANAO5QFQ01gAD
The colour of soothing cold on your skin492Please respect copyright.PENANAUpLGV7fxft
healing and giving back to you492Please respect copyright.PENANAsMl6XWTlKw
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky492Please respect copyright.PENANAl7lFDrwaKY
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots492Please respect copyright.PENANAsUEFlV6RDd
In the grandiose world you barely know,492Please respect copyright.PENANAd8L1mzbvLg
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.492Please respect copyright.PENANAyESRBCvutk
the questions that dangle and form in your head492Please respect copyright.PENANAGNJthVniGW
with pages of answers waiting to be known492Please respect copyright.PENANAg3IkPE5oVe
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say492Please respect copyright.PENANABl8ehIVoAk
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids492Please respect copyright.PENANALD5FxPCRUj
The facts are true when illumination shows492Please respect copyright.PENANAaHNBU0J4nu
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?492Please respect copyright.PENANAuVGDbbsqiU
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking492Please respect copyright.PENANAK9bY9qd13h
Is it true that you're even alone?492Please respect copyright.PENANAJgpGCgAgDI
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,492Please respect copyright.PENANAlGBnzpvwJy
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.492Please respect copyright.PENANA8KDOfvSuS2
It can hold on no matter how violent,492Please respect copyright.PENANA5HdDlk4iKY
The storm is strong but so is violet.492Please respect copyright.PENANAVyBZ2edeJC
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope492Please respect copyright.PENANAeFG7eU3Qho
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.492Please respect copyright.PENANAg8JXY7T4mW
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore492Please respect copyright.PENANAgyK7fk6iiU
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown492Please respect copyright.PENANA5fiOELrUZh
the candles that show off your face will drip492Please respect copyright.PENANAYHNg6Nee9C
an increasingly pungent violet492Please respect copyright.PENANAfZFp8mSTtu
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself492Please respect copyright.PENANA3qRk466GZ9
your framed mirror is brightly lit492Please respect copyright.PENANATIOjGKvkBm
with a once beautiful violet.
