a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,423Please respect copyright.PENANATm6pOMDY1k
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 423Please respect copyright.PENANA8jYLBJjNAE
pounds against your head423Please respect copyright.PENANAtWAHe1LbaW
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.423Please respect copyright.PENANA7bjWzIcYsI
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force423Please respect copyright.PENANAAK56DAoJ4M
lurching at what you think has to be said423Please respect copyright.PENANAiupxv87Cn9
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too423Please respect copyright.PENANAC7iFKaVLtm
Yet all sound is compressed deep down423Please respect copyright.PENANAuH9S1ekIAS
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led423Please respect copyright.PENANA6JHyDcJvyF
For it too is also a passionate red.423Please respect copyright.PENANAeDFP7tx1Ci
When eyes are meeting and holding stance423Please respect copyright.PENANAJw94i3s1AD
revelling in what doesn't need to be said423Please respect copyright.PENANAMmTWyVo5oS
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin423Please respect copyright.PENANAlHNtcRWJxA
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes423Please respect copyright.PENANAihv8lPPdry
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew423Please respect copyright.PENANAInJHkUTLT5
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.423Please respect copyright.PENANAz48IcDvg5W
The music that blasts your ears with no pain423Please respect copyright.PENANAbyR5U4VuEW
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view423Please respect copyright.PENANAGXPkYJCC4E
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows423Please respect copyright.PENANARIoNVyP315
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands423Please respect copyright.PENANA5g0mfiPnzJ
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you423Please respect copyright.PENANAZX024weKk9
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.423Please respect copyright.PENANAeb0RlWl7Q4
So is the screech of swerving tires423Please respect copyright.PENANAfkeUrtJ8Cv
You realize late that the headlights are too423Please respect copyright.PENANAYeS8dTc9uw
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin423Please respect copyright.PENANAm0aRj8zTde
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds423Please respect copyright.PENANAx0UY5utahV
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello423Please respect copyright.PENANArx7zcsQpSs
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 423Please respect copyright.PENANAUrkjAzExCr
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade423Please respect copyright.PENANAPck1l7mZP1
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow423Please respect copyright.PENANAOaKqsw6Zaj
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?423Please respect copyright.PENANAb2FquvslRq
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?423Please respect copyright.PENANAk2KMdlYhtu
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold423Please respect copyright.PENANAsXbYplQakb
But alas, they're only yellow.423Please respect copyright.PENANAN77hngKaHy
With treasures piled high in decadent glory423Please respect copyright.PENANALPaZhoHiOI
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold423Please respect copyright.PENANAInLmMjJGdc
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins423Please respect copyright.PENANAcNawEp87Cb
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 423Please respect copyright.PENANA4KozHksTVU
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being423Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q4itcguOD
But still, you are green with bottled envy.423Please respect copyright.PENANAVB82pfROq9
As the ivy infects all that it brushes423Please respect copyright.PENANArYFWVSQ35M
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve423Please respect copyright.PENANANsMxUekZOZ
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow423Please respect copyright.PENANAvpuepfRaVp
When it's isolated from power and stinging want423Please respect copyright.PENANASy2xJU5QgU
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen423Please respect copyright.PENANAmKyi99KvfX
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green423Please respect copyright.PENANAF3WG8tkz2M
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns423Please respect copyright.PENANAWl8JNnNarZ
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached423Please respect copyright.PENANARxnWC4gLlC
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over423Please respect copyright.PENANAyLMDwwjXdH
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy423Please respect copyright.PENANAJLObz10dMp
with total submersion you realize you423Please respect copyright.PENANA6vR3JhxWRP
cannot see anything but infinite blue423Please respect copyright.PENANAaN09kdCtUw
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak423Please respect copyright.PENANAxv5EQyaUV8
with opaque skin, no one can see through423Please respect copyright.PENANAU6A3pPMn5x
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet423Please respect copyright.PENANA1IB4QWdLKy
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind423Please respect copyright.PENANAyIW9hSuM8M
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,423Please respect copyright.PENANAInBBpJwQYK
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?423Please respect copyright.PENANAEDMt6OOBZ1
The colour of soothing cold on your skin423Please respect copyright.PENANAumRstvU3a9
healing and giving back to you423Please respect copyright.PENANAGCHY7lMOy9
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky423Please respect copyright.PENANAOLfjvfKU3K
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots423Please respect copyright.PENANAuPoWR5G92m
In the grandiose world you barely know,423Please respect copyright.PENANAQvgl7NlC2g
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.423Please respect copyright.PENANAI2q1GyFMu2
the questions that dangle and form in your head423Please respect copyright.PENANABEKIomKZMf
with pages of answers waiting to be known423Please respect copyright.PENANAv79LTy72S9
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say423Please respect copyright.PENANAbtITK6GLJf
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids423Please respect copyright.PENANAk0HlyLW0IE
The facts are true when illumination shows423Please respect copyright.PENANAAipLeDyAx7
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?423Please respect copyright.PENANAQBtjGhIxYt
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking423Please respect copyright.PENANAiNJa1bKnUc
Is it true that you're even alone?423Please respect copyright.PENANA9dmQ3RsQCA
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,423Please respect copyright.PENANATyE0p8IahH
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.423Please respect copyright.PENANABwG1yXIJ7J
It can hold on no matter how violent,423Please respect copyright.PENANAx3xdfbPFS9
The storm is strong but so is violet.423Please respect copyright.PENANAKTnkvYa3I7
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope423Please respect copyright.PENANAeCzB4LRTmu
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.423Please respect copyright.PENANAMkGPLmz2Rr
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore423Please respect copyright.PENANAB9lPLGrvDN
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown423Please respect copyright.PENANAVKjJzspE0k
the candles that show off your face will drip423Please respect copyright.PENANAm7uRkDxLFq
an increasingly pungent violet423Please respect copyright.PENANAdskNBNAWEz
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself423Please respect copyright.PENANA2lPbT8lg4k
your framed mirror is brightly lit423Please respect copyright.PENANAiBK6uiFb28
with a once beautiful violet.
