a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,168Please respect copyright.PENANAuYKx7sJ68g
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 168Please respect copyright.PENANAMfVTfqrCyX
pounds against your head168Please respect copyright.PENANAJEQtAFFZLO
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.168Please respect copyright.PENANAiK9i5Jc9tW
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force168Please respect copyright.PENANApKVNFGWBSR
lurching at what you think has to be said168Please respect copyright.PENANAjnLSaEXK0K
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too168Please respect copyright.PENANA6H3rtgFAyZ
Yet all sound is compressed deep down168Please respect copyright.PENANAB6dmoXEulT
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led168Please respect copyright.PENANAzMH1hVqORV
For it too is also a passionate red.168Please respect copyright.PENANArLZaq53qNY
When eyes are meeting and holding stance168Please respect copyright.PENANAUXpmnqFS7L
revelling in what doesn't need to be said168Please respect copyright.PENANAlCijcwGOcm
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin168Please respect copyright.PENANA1gcfOOMCsc
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes168Please respect copyright.PENANAWRIeFrr3IJ
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew168Please respect copyright.PENANAMCVjU4Z5r2
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.168Please respect copyright.PENANA0tW1ERkrJ2
The music that blasts your ears with no pain168Please respect copyright.PENANAVIV4DBksCE
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view168Please respect copyright.PENANAD0PT1mIn68
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows168Please respect copyright.PENANAb0gFGc68R6
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands168Please respect copyright.PENANAbfho4HiiUj
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you168Please respect copyright.PENANAiE9spEzIUT
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.168Please respect copyright.PENANAhvxEdlwuBb
So is the screech of swerving tires168Please respect copyright.PENANABk1UOPwStW
You realize late that the headlights are too168Please respect copyright.PENANA63xOFRsrkU
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin168Please respect copyright.PENANAjVTwwOlZHR
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds168Please respect copyright.PENANAjwNnnjHMh6
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello168Please respect copyright.PENANAAebShQmjU5
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 168Please respect copyright.PENANAIpJyM4Lu1K
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade168Please respect copyright.PENANANcS7ti6BT7
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow168Please respect copyright.PENANAvi4TrmGqRr
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?168Please respect copyright.PENANAvpVjkXyrdE
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?168Please respect copyright.PENANAi3cmPzDOZ9
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold168Please respect copyright.PENANA3imFru39fY
But alas, they're only yellow.168Please respect copyright.PENANAwe7ws08jk4
With treasures piled high in decadent glory168Please respect copyright.PENANAWLzCH2i1TM
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold168Please respect copyright.PENANAWIiB9Yb9zz
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins168Please respect copyright.PENANA1mhIUAPs2X
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 168Please respect copyright.PENANARSrmnytalT
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being168Please respect copyright.PENANAJIr1fcxD2N
But still, you are green with bottled envy.168Please respect copyright.PENANA7BhmOiLgrN
As the ivy infects all that it brushes168Please respect copyright.PENANAW3UYcvL5Vi
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve168Please respect copyright.PENANAkpWgtqBzzi
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow168Please respect copyright.PENANAmcgMC0g2SQ
When it's isolated from power and stinging want168Please respect copyright.PENANAySAw01WqL0
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen168Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ8FLHUQJu
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green168Please respect copyright.PENANA1m00V0fv7C
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns168Please respect copyright.PENANAVWEgpFuDFo
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached168Please respect copyright.PENANAxVsg5Ji1kV
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over168Please respect copyright.PENANAtTID6k94iQ
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy168Please respect copyright.PENANAiTcWeI6Qrb
with total submersion you realize you168Please respect copyright.PENANA7AUZmYoz2O
cannot see anything but infinite blue168Please respect copyright.PENANAHGZFvzZCdz
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak168Please respect copyright.PENANAfx3EpRqHud
with opaque skin, no one can see through168Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5wCFDB308
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet168Please respect copyright.PENANACULR4l67fS
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind168Please respect copyright.PENANAe9tSMtQhMh
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,168Please respect copyright.PENANAhnKAbV6V48
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?168Please respect copyright.PENANAF1HcbB4mxi
The colour of soothing cold on your skin168Please respect copyright.PENANAaSbww19AmM
healing and giving back to you168Please respect copyright.PENANA3YsWjtsI3M
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky168Please respect copyright.PENANARjfrXxb20k
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots168Please respect copyright.PENANARdEtJXwVzU
In the grandiose world you barely know,168Please respect copyright.PENANA3QAZR6FAmq
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.168Please respect copyright.PENANA9LbdfQCLCX
the questions that dangle and form in your head168Please respect copyright.PENANA6FQhtd5JKy
with pages of answers waiting to be known168Please respect copyright.PENANA6k1Rk5ZSLL
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say168Please respect copyright.PENANApeZ19FsBVi
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids168Please respect copyright.PENANANiGEwE32kQ
The facts are true when illumination shows168Please respect copyright.PENANADtctTt9gaf
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?168Please respect copyright.PENANA0sI0Z1Um4z
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking168Please respect copyright.PENANAWWoiOAbldq
Is it true that you're even alone?168Please respect copyright.PENANADvWwq4Wb1N
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,168Please respect copyright.PENANAGmTZ1nunGE
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.168Please respect copyright.PENANA82BTQFMy6O
It can hold on no matter how violent,168Please respect copyright.PENANA5pIo1nX5Cy
The storm is strong but so is violet.168Please respect copyright.PENANAPb5wvBEoQ7
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope168Please respect copyright.PENANAtpoenVgG3R
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.168Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ9y7K3ihg
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore168Please respect copyright.PENANAuIScoCk384
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown168Please respect copyright.PENANAhGLHiZetnb
the candles that show off your face will drip168Please respect copyright.PENANACbNozns8so
an increasingly pungent violet168Please respect copyright.PENANAaBPritElMT
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself168Please respect copyright.PENANAudJ8xpbI2g
your framed mirror is brightly lit168Please respect copyright.PENANAQG2vqhrjNC
with a once beautiful violet.
