a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,409Please respect copyright.PENANAuBx2Iqb9Xm
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 409Please respect copyright.PENANAxijyF7Hakb
pounds against your head409Please respect copyright.PENANAYe0CUyxIER
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.409Please respect copyright.PENANA9OFLvQJBDA
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force409Please respect copyright.PENANAqOeX3a2TuD
lurching at what you think has to be said409Please respect copyright.PENANAZKfUujCqO0
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too409Please respect copyright.PENANA8toqd1EZVM
Yet all sound is compressed deep down409Please respect copyright.PENANAYahKPNt9Qh
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led409Please respect copyright.PENANAMwQ9C9ldo7
For it too is also a passionate red.409Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xm8YNSFqy
When eyes are meeting and holding stance409Please respect copyright.PENANAiGBs09QsFD
revelling in what doesn't need to be said409Please respect copyright.PENANAwCNS7PCib6
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin409Please respect copyright.PENANA40xhr10OjO
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes409Please respect copyright.PENANAerkARvAZ1h
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew409Please respect copyright.PENANA2qKj4rk23o
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.409Please respect copyright.PENANApgX9VHOZVz
The music that blasts your ears with no pain409Please respect copyright.PENANAOCK7G5h4Fz
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view409Please respect copyright.PENANANNJd1AhhJO
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows409Please respect copyright.PENANAHXZTM57wHz
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands409Please respect copyright.PENANAhLm32MZuRb
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you409Please respect copyright.PENANAf1BpSxmWpW
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.409Please respect copyright.PENANAVX4pR6W5Xb
So is the screech of swerving tires409Please respect copyright.PENANAzzKQ6BIayY
You realize late that the headlights are too409Please respect copyright.PENANAsWgnvVsP8Z
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin409Please respect copyright.PENANA7qB4jFKzbl
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds409Please respect copyright.PENANAeP1nAW68EV
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello409Please respect copyright.PENANA847qVucY8T
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 409Please respect copyright.PENANAzZTcv3G4Cp
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade409Please respect copyright.PENANAv8wQpLj8sr
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow409Please respect copyright.PENANAggA2KdOi83
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?409Please respect copyright.PENANA6DDaJjG7u0
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?409Please respect copyright.PENANA0C3OYVqa2w
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold409Please respect copyright.PENANA2ACDFD5aHI
But alas, they're only yellow.409Please respect copyright.PENANASX5Ms2Z6me
With treasures piled high in decadent glory409Please respect copyright.PENANAmzcRTLajNV
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold409Please respect copyright.PENANAD3veDVJ1wc
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins409Please respect copyright.PENANAJFVIOuE9N2
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 409Please respect copyright.PENANAbownmh8NBs
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being409Please respect copyright.PENANA9pROFRnzCv
But still, you are green with bottled envy.409Please respect copyright.PENANANUltfNwsFa
As the ivy infects all that it brushes409Please respect copyright.PENANA4HgSDnaRqN
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve409Please respect copyright.PENANAxmvCTUTEkg
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow409Please respect copyright.PENANAbig2Edeu1I
When it's isolated from power and stinging want409Please respect copyright.PENANA0ANpVrd0KF
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen409Please respect copyright.PENANAkHxsfbfhwV
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green409Please respect copyright.PENANAIeR40dv70D
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns409Please respect copyright.PENANANrmjf62yoz
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached409Please respect copyright.PENANA9QqkuDE4Z7
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over409Please respect copyright.PENANAmTpYfi4S2F
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy409Please respect copyright.PENANAK4V0HiPus2
with total submersion you realize you409Please respect copyright.PENANA5gykIR4Eod
cannot see anything but infinite blue409Please respect copyright.PENANAfWriyjCtCP
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak409Please respect copyright.PENANA1JjPVdXpmO
with opaque skin, no one can see through409Please respect copyright.PENANAhGP4crNWpl
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet409Please respect copyright.PENANAZyjHKHckop
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind409Please respect copyright.PENANAIb0ClslN0T
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,409Please respect copyright.PENANAfaohMJPUi1
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?409Please respect copyright.PENANAtrsoDeVkmj
The colour of soothing cold on your skin409Please respect copyright.PENANATVCp08LtlK
healing and giving back to you409Please respect copyright.PENANAbwE4j0W8XR
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky409Please respect copyright.PENANANBhT8YrGz6
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots409Please respect copyright.PENANApxXllOc9kL
In the grandiose world you barely know,409Please respect copyright.PENANAWk5q5Ib4Xy
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.409Please respect copyright.PENANAYsp76q8op2
the questions that dangle and form in your head409Please respect copyright.PENANAcqqbawDucK
with pages of answers waiting to be known409Please respect copyright.PENANApokoHIDykG
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say409Please respect copyright.PENANAhcDR8ph1p5
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids409Please respect copyright.PENANA6IC52JCcI2
The facts are true when illumination shows409Please respect copyright.PENANASzOAhDJzFt
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?409Please respect copyright.PENANAJvQgJ2f2yQ
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking409Please respect copyright.PENANAHqADpgJ4t9
Is it true that you're even alone?409Please respect copyright.PENANA6zklrkVQUS
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,409Please respect copyright.PENANAnvFL9m41k0
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.409Please respect copyright.PENANAmBVc4ynsGD
It can hold on no matter how violent,409Please respect copyright.PENANAWzQ81lZjgP
The storm is strong but so is violet.409Please respect copyright.PENANAyb6ix9vD95
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope409Please respect copyright.PENANAk9OYOd7vXu
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.409Please respect copyright.PENANAZEwdwL7Rm9
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore409Please respect copyright.PENANAov0qFBChdz
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown409Please respect copyright.PENANAuNgxjzOom9
the candles that show off your face will drip409Please respect copyright.PENANAqTb0ztWyhP
an increasingly pungent violet409Please respect copyright.PENANANkqgXqXSYp
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself409Please respect copyright.PENANAVVFv3Wqavr
your framed mirror is brightly lit409Please respect copyright.PENANAJDpM9389Rm
with a once beautiful violet.
