a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,413Please respect copyright.PENANAE53RrqtZpR
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 413Please respect copyright.PENANAGpZuSn2eTL
pounds against your head413Please respect copyright.PENANAeKw9eEoDOh
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.413Please respect copyright.PENANAYTxQqUp68k
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force413Please respect copyright.PENANA0dsvS1IU2n
lurching at what you think has to be said413Please respect copyright.PENANAjeDEfOGuZ7
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too413Please respect copyright.PENANACvtyVo10bG
Yet all sound is compressed deep down413Please respect copyright.PENANArOpTpaJGV4
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led413Please respect copyright.PENANADRxIw8b8M1
For it too is also a passionate red.413Please respect copyright.PENANAIRB0vz2i81
When eyes are meeting and holding stance413Please respect copyright.PENANAARew6IRINE
revelling in what doesn't need to be said413Please respect copyright.PENANA2UaGCNIZMD
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin413Please respect copyright.PENANAZAdvmDCClw
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes413Please respect copyright.PENANAcsagntvQmI
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew413Please respect copyright.PENANAIKT8xv6Dfh
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.413Please respect copyright.PENANAjDGCHIPDBC
The music that blasts your ears with no pain413Please respect copyright.PENANAtrdr4SpLS7
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view413Please respect copyright.PENANAyVGXRKQJ0X
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows413Please respect copyright.PENANACsxR4crsmf
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands413Please respect copyright.PENANAsnEPPW9SGF
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you413Please respect copyright.PENANAbVGRveEfmb
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.413Please respect copyright.PENANATGx1yeRDKF
So is the screech of swerving tires413Please respect copyright.PENANAUHQNI4HfEc
You realize late that the headlights are too413Please respect copyright.PENANANG0GluVpz9
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin413Please respect copyright.PENANAtrwOPdTVit
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds413Please respect copyright.PENANAsEDSIzU6nj
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello413Please respect copyright.PENANActHyY51G9X
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 413Please respect copyright.PENANA464LKY0bpK
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade413Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZOEyCqBuR
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow413Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7SFSXVlqC
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?413Please respect copyright.PENANAMxMmVAl3Vm
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?413Please respect copyright.PENANABDAT56HV1N
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold413Please respect copyright.PENANAydrxcG1Q5B
But alas, they're only yellow.413Please respect copyright.PENANAwIipynpraV
With treasures piled high in decadent glory413Please respect copyright.PENANAkGiSyMgNJR
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold413Please respect copyright.PENANA1AiGeRWE5s
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins413Please respect copyright.PENANAxY3ne90JEj
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 413Please respect copyright.PENANA2nQ8heVw25
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being413Please respect copyright.PENANALK48TIW6D1
But still, you are green with bottled envy.413Please respect copyright.PENANAQpD4htvEXM
As the ivy infects all that it brushes413Please respect copyright.PENANAtyFPMqJ2TT
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve413Please respect copyright.PENANAI1SAcKFyvv
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow413Please respect copyright.PENANAH0kWv4ZXHD
When it's isolated from power and stinging want413Please respect copyright.PENANAC6pWAxxvsd
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen413Please respect copyright.PENANASxaHo9SMg6
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green413Please respect copyright.PENANAvYQvEphgi0
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns413Please respect copyright.PENANAHv5Sw7wPLp
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached413Please respect copyright.PENANAtrN5oJPDQs
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over413Please respect copyright.PENANAwTKfmDFH0P
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy413Please respect copyright.PENANAh53YE3MvaZ
with total submersion you realize you413Please respect copyright.PENANA6jOnAKfhTV
cannot see anything but infinite blue413Please respect copyright.PENANAOMYLDIOeIX
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak413Please respect copyright.PENANAopl54aAHK7
with opaque skin, no one can see through413Please respect copyright.PENANAvPgvHNe3u0
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet413Please respect copyright.PENANAqQHNNAnOHg
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind413Please respect copyright.PENANA38VK9Ww36k
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,413Please respect copyright.PENANAzQrbe7ioIC
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?413Please respect copyright.PENANAZJlbSGyUK5
The colour of soothing cold on your skin413Please respect copyright.PENANA6bhm6FE6BI
healing and giving back to you413Please respect copyright.PENANAGTV2aJHYuS
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky413Please respect copyright.PENANAyn6ThSL1Xb
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots413Please respect copyright.PENANAbQL9jdHsur
In the grandiose world you barely know,413Please respect copyright.PENANAOpET7k368u
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.413Please respect copyright.PENANAy4hKDNJUkJ
the questions that dangle and form in your head413Please respect copyright.PENANA6vaRFtli3U
with pages of answers waiting to be known413Please respect copyright.PENANACxd17N1que
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say413Please respect copyright.PENANA2dHQcgLqGk
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids413Please respect copyright.PENANAcdPWdw7Kcb
The facts are true when illumination shows413Please respect copyright.PENANAbNLO57R6Kw
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?413Please respect copyright.PENANAMbOtEMbItR
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking413Please respect copyright.PENANAHyzha8kyRk
Is it true that you're even alone?413Please respect copyright.PENANARsmP7RipKF
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,413Please respect copyright.PENANAISglt0Ndgy
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.413Please respect copyright.PENANAVEcbiNKkUu
It can hold on no matter how violent,413Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5UGcJINxL
The storm is strong but so is violet.413Please respect copyright.PENANA05tinnAKrn
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope413Please respect copyright.PENANAcV4Rdx4xGU
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.413Please respect copyright.PENANAOSnSvqiY6E
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore413Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Prht2Qcy
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown413Please respect copyright.PENANAorH0Qqh6og
the candles that show off your face will drip413Please respect copyright.PENANAacfglMzAlk
an increasingly pungent violet413Please respect copyright.PENANAWNkOHTudCR
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself413Please respect copyright.PENANAHZvSIxpvqc
your framed mirror is brightly lit413Please respect copyright.PENANAxne7ltemB0
with a once beautiful violet.
