a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,399Please respect copyright.PENANAQUePCtZdjO
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 399Please respect copyright.PENANAPAR7zCa73O
pounds against your head399Please respect copyright.PENANADs8BxDXK29
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.399Please respect copyright.PENANAPrEyBkeMh8
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force399Please respect copyright.PENANA6sqX6hRCqT
lurching at what you think has to be said399Please respect copyright.PENANAzMruvnZ99C
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too399Please respect copyright.PENANAwpIoV2TEl6
Yet all sound is compressed deep down399Please respect copyright.PENANA74jJsFrXbl
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led399Please respect copyright.PENANAMkzoLAXtKI
For it too is also a passionate red.399Please respect copyright.PENANA0JqbjEeVc7
When eyes are meeting and holding stance399Please respect copyright.PENANAqCxZ6dTuld
revelling in what doesn't need to be said399Please respect copyright.PENANANNJ9hNGVtP
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin399Please respect copyright.PENANAqdEs88dF0Y
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes399Please respect copyright.PENANAyPWyo5J14U
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew399Please respect copyright.PENANAzNPOLl860g
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.399Please respect copyright.PENANALp0cc77ChK
The music that blasts your ears with no pain399Please respect copyright.PENANARB0XfZzgvW
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view399Please respect copyright.PENANAfWjDRzAViA
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows399Please respect copyright.PENANA0z0UnsDpNT
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands399Please respect copyright.PENANAOxcQxb3FaY
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you399Please respect copyright.PENANAytIBvV51hl
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.399Please respect copyright.PENANAi8hF0thBQJ
So is the screech of swerving tires399Please respect copyright.PENANAcZkXWdqtob
You realize late that the headlights are too399Please respect copyright.PENANAQjyVZ83TwS
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin399Please respect copyright.PENANAfq1aksabIU
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds399Please respect copyright.PENANAmESMVeA8o9
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello399Please respect copyright.PENANAxDfS8YJ8lT
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 399Please respect copyright.PENANAtwkv8Brusp
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade399Please respect copyright.PENANAZgWLxzMcDF
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow399Please respect copyright.PENANA5OVIgu0NsJ
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?399Please respect copyright.PENANAtHNPqo7Blc
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?399Please respect copyright.PENANAZTDFGgJHSO
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold399Please respect copyright.PENANAc5BpiJ5EVP
But alas, they're only yellow.399Please respect copyright.PENANAjiNK45keFf
With treasures piled high in decadent glory399Please respect copyright.PENANAKU3nZlVtGM
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold399Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8pt8rExGm
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins399Please respect copyright.PENANAN9aFR0xRMv
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 399Please respect copyright.PENANADGJQJpkoYs
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being399Please respect copyright.PENANAgbfbFbXCXi
But still, you are green with bottled envy.399Please respect copyright.PENANA3nUe3CIAx8
As the ivy infects all that it brushes399Please respect copyright.PENANAmAz41Oonjp
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve399Please respect copyright.PENANA7CTqlRcBAY
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow399Please respect copyright.PENANAeA0WQayWGw
When it's isolated from power and stinging want399Please respect copyright.PENANAN0B3Fo2b85
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen399Please respect copyright.PENANAtgM7Ngw3m2
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green399Please respect copyright.PENANAj3CWP0r1qs
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns399Please respect copyright.PENANAjMKeQ6ZOyz
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached399Please respect copyright.PENANAeeZzsZ66QQ
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over399Please respect copyright.PENANATSFCVrmwom
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy399Please respect copyright.PENANAXJj5qs47e4
with total submersion you realize you399Please respect copyright.PENANArbheUplV8R
cannot see anything but infinite blue399Please respect copyright.PENANA9mjMucpdGV
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak399Please respect copyright.PENANAuef8oL5ZPt
with opaque skin, no one can see through399Please respect copyright.PENANAbTNI0LrkNx
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet399Please respect copyright.PENANAIENUUEYBpz
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind399Please respect copyright.PENANAtrypI5z4CR
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,399Please respect copyright.PENANA5Kd7AQ1qh7
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?399Please respect copyright.PENANAIyTIXLR0C1
The colour of soothing cold on your skin399Please respect copyright.PENANAD9PuoNET7B
healing and giving back to you399Please respect copyright.PENANAnnBabT9zJh
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky399Please respect copyright.PENANAus4sZQccuR
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots399Please respect copyright.PENANAeS0vWg1l9I
In the grandiose world you barely know,399Please respect copyright.PENANAYCY5BfWLlf
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.399Please respect copyright.PENANA8vuA2zAW1J
the questions that dangle and form in your head399Please respect copyright.PENANAZzsKA5iH1f
with pages of answers waiting to be known399Please respect copyright.PENANA0kYjuIrg1Y
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say399Please respect copyright.PENANAukYWq7IKzb
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids399Please respect copyright.PENANAEsuLmIov9j
The facts are true when illumination shows399Please respect copyright.PENANAmOuhX7xIQR
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?399Please respect copyright.PENANAoBFQ5QSiPH
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking399Please respect copyright.PENANAw0GfGBIBdT
Is it true that you're even alone?399Please respect copyright.PENANAEK0pHEhiQb
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,399Please respect copyright.PENANATbhf9x9Dtc
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.399Please respect copyright.PENANA1lfFaytl0z
It can hold on no matter how violent,399Please respect copyright.PENANAn61hobYXdC
The storm is strong but so is violet.399Please respect copyright.PENANAeglGS7nbXF
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope399Please respect copyright.PENANAu5IfVNi94o
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.399Please respect copyright.PENANADrg4NbjLq3
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore399Please respect copyright.PENANAsj0onn4yrd
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown399Please respect copyright.PENANATe1vckd9B5
the candles that show off your face will drip399Please respect copyright.PENANAMWT0xSmpPV
an increasingly pungent violet399Please respect copyright.PENANA2KMu1YduIv
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself399Please respect copyright.PENANAjMjuDd9QXp
your framed mirror is brightly lit399Please respect copyright.PENANAVUxQQt8KqQ
with a once beautiful violet.
