a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,407Please respect copyright.PENANAHbYwLapT6m
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 407Please respect copyright.PENANAvUSejoKga3
pounds against your head407Please respect copyright.PENANATIoMwpkUxe
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.407Please respect copyright.PENANAM0dWKgsUCr
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force407Please respect copyright.PENANAmVcoOjzC79
lurching at what you think has to be said407Please respect copyright.PENANADTKoR5FXSY
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too407Please respect copyright.PENANAzjaww4yHYC
Yet all sound is compressed deep down407Please respect copyright.PENANAkscTP7jgwC
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led407Please respect copyright.PENANAYAw7bZkUh8
For it too is also a passionate red.407Please respect copyright.PENANAyEgEr8H1y4
When eyes are meeting and holding stance407Please respect copyright.PENANA3auiGeT9PG
revelling in what doesn't need to be said407Please respect copyright.PENANAZkMys3mjEn
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin407Please respect copyright.PENANAxMJeomgiiC
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes407Please respect copyright.PENANAbeFYOVH1OQ
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew407Please respect copyright.PENANA4NH8kzRz6Y
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.407Please respect copyright.PENANA0hg9vVNqsG
The music that blasts your ears with no pain407Please respect copyright.PENANABs5hWRNcsO
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view407Please respect copyright.PENANAScChgylzt6
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows407Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Z505lbZq
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands407Please respect copyright.PENANApjq1IHsXFn
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you407Please respect copyright.PENANAjbSYn7DG6i
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.407Please respect copyright.PENANALZP5OXgl9H
So is the screech of swerving tires407Please respect copyright.PENANAbLxzfjzePd
You realize late that the headlights are too407Please respect copyright.PENANASfQd2Qfbb4
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin407Please respect copyright.PENANAGswRvb7CCY
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds407Please respect copyright.PENANAni0fYTmeaR
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello407Please respect copyright.PENANAhC6BjtqUVy
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 407Please respect copyright.PENANAAPTwN3eDFz
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade407Please respect copyright.PENANA4giQtALI0J
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow407Please respect copyright.PENANAXXYT4aZNYl
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?407Please respect copyright.PENANA3FQUiTYgAT
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?407Please respect copyright.PENANAffTQM02oRQ
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold407Please respect copyright.PENANAuykVNy1mun
But alas, they're only yellow.407Please respect copyright.PENANA5phkjFI3sd
With treasures piled high in decadent glory407Please respect copyright.PENANA2W7I80sr8f
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold407Please respect copyright.PENANAYOX8ZnU4Es
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins407Please respect copyright.PENANAfM34DUAjpO
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 407Please respect copyright.PENANA4n2TgnaGFY
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being407Please respect copyright.PENANAXwHKwhxGHH
But still, you are green with bottled envy.407Please respect copyright.PENANAfsSkGcERrI
As the ivy infects all that it brushes407Please respect copyright.PENANAsCGlq4ndME
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve407Please respect copyright.PENANAdkizv6zxsl
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow407Please respect copyright.PENANAdPyJfysgMV
When it's isolated from power and stinging want407Please respect copyright.PENANAakOcU7jbKe
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen407Please respect copyright.PENANARM2KXkIwot
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green407Please respect copyright.PENANAQmxoSUm70A
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns407Please respect copyright.PENANADSOq4aaBRA
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached407Please respect copyright.PENANAtopoqShXBA
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over407Please respect copyright.PENANA1mXYFnVmrA
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy407Please respect copyright.PENANA747bBheQ4h
with total submersion you realize you407Please respect copyright.PENANAjxFLwLRmzv
cannot see anything but infinite blue407Please respect copyright.PENANA4B1OYlPHa2
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak407Please respect copyright.PENANAs1FBVFKnqx
with opaque skin, no one can see through407Please respect copyright.PENANA8vwX8WYXwj
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet407Please respect copyright.PENANACwrYkMt4Gv
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind407Please respect copyright.PENANA8L7F2bE7x7
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,407Please respect copyright.PENANAFEEPi512i5
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?407Please respect copyright.PENANAMLC6Q94SN6
The colour of soothing cold on your skin407Please respect copyright.PENANAbNZM7Pg9Mf
healing and giving back to you407Please respect copyright.PENANAChRLP6J6Qu
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky407Please respect copyright.PENANAAN29xrezpG
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots407Please respect copyright.PENANARphwQX7xt6
In the grandiose world you barely know,407Please respect copyright.PENANA8ddYmpj8uf
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.407Please respect copyright.PENANAacwn7MFGuQ
the questions that dangle and form in your head407Please respect copyright.PENANAdwSY1Qr2Yx
with pages of answers waiting to be known407Please respect copyright.PENANAI3EZGfOjS4
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say407Please respect copyright.PENANASSCBNitlGh
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids407Please respect copyright.PENANAXhAeh75BEY
The facts are true when illumination shows407Please respect copyright.PENANAJfUL95AV1o
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?407Please respect copyright.PENANAw9CxB1fqmf
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking407Please respect copyright.PENANAlUBJ5ZVGSb
Is it true that you're even alone?407Please respect copyright.PENANAGbbzn2KHkG
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,407Please respect copyright.PENANAQmWggyuOsD
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.407Please respect copyright.PENANAW2I9mRRdkv
It can hold on no matter how violent,407Please respect copyright.PENANAUD0esOA7nh
The storm is strong but so is violet.407Please respect copyright.PENANAT2Xnbxf49B
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope407Please respect copyright.PENANA1O07pdZKTG
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.407Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ7qPMIpn6
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore407Please respect copyright.PENANAUd3Tl3ncUE
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown407Please respect copyright.PENANAifD1EpMcFI
the candles that show off your face will drip407Please respect copyright.PENANARmlW8gOSyi
an increasingly pungent violet407Please respect copyright.PENANAbZkLFFCKOz
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself407Please respect copyright.PENANALVNQHhFOHD
your framed mirror is brightly lit407Please respect copyright.PENANAPKX0ExopPU
with a once beautiful violet.
