a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,429Please respect copyright.PENANA9jS7bG2ifJ
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 429Please respect copyright.PENANAvMCQuEOABs
pounds against your head429Please respect copyright.PENANAqqqPgDFP73
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.429Please respect copyright.PENANAd9dvchc5m0
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force429Please respect copyright.PENANAOkWe59joC2
lurching at what you think has to be said429Please respect copyright.PENANAdM3jF4O42M
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too429Please respect copyright.PENANAdABVe45geA
Yet all sound is compressed deep down429Please respect copyright.PENANAkgt14KlZ3Y
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led429Please respect copyright.PENANAm5bZb3NUbA
For it too is also a passionate red.429Please respect copyright.PENANAxVOra3DY0R
When eyes are meeting and holding stance429Please respect copyright.PENANApn63tuJz6D
revelling in what doesn't need to be said429Please respect copyright.PENANAXs32yUILLO
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin429Please respect copyright.PENANAHMweJkHC68
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes429Please respect copyright.PENANAJgSAj0zMDh
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew429Please respect copyright.PENANAvSv8hnFvBn
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.429Please respect copyright.PENANA7pt7GyZqIS
The music that blasts your ears with no pain429Please respect copyright.PENANAywExfVDw6b
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view429Please respect copyright.PENANADJCxAK5cjP
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows429Please respect copyright.PENANA0J5zBAgL0b
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands429Please respect copyright.PENANAuSED36EaCu
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you429Please respect copyright.PENANAH8dPSrzT1E
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.429Please respect copyright.PENANAz4OvjwebAl
So is the screech of swerving tires429Please respect copyright.PENANAjndZRg8Zqi
You realize late that the headlights are too429Please respect copyright.PENANAsVCULpvTQP
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin429Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sx7e5aIGZ
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds429Please respect copyright.PENANAEdUlC7QJvr
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello429Please respect copyright.PENANAO5zq6x4dUl
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 429Please respect copyright.PENANAH7kHufto1O
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade429Please respect copyright.PENANAV5lAlaT791
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow429Please respect copyright.PENANATSL22JvU3t
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?429Please respect copyright.PENANAQhg5LCobCe
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?429Please respect copyright.PENANAzHp6WG9uor
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold429Please respect copyright.PENANAb1dOHRTC3s
But alas, they're only yellow.429Please respect copyright.PENANASeYF9ihojc
With treasures piled high in decadent glory429Please respect copyright.PENANAPwGFHWXhDs
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold429Please respect copyright.PENANAkICJDsaGUb
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins429Please respect copyright.PENANAAjx8u8HmFT
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 429Please respect copyright.PENANAQtnW4UmOkD
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being429Please respect copyright.PENANANRvcPbmw4Z
But still, you are green with bottled envy.429Please respect copyright.PENANAeIwDkf8Uzs
As the ivy infects all that it brushes429Please respect copyright.PENANARUxK2OTpqg
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve429Please respect copyright.PENANAhxN2auKMiP
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow429Please respect copyright.PENANA2QXptMiKEF
When it's isolated from power and stinging want429Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nf8sykTXp
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen429Please respect copyright.PENANAFZiI79kJqT
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green429Please respect copyright.PENANAGIOwh9Ddkw
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns429Please respect copyright.PENANAtTo9Ber6zj
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached429Please respect copyright.PENANA2yyS2y7dnD
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over429Please respect copyright.PENANAQOFAF1sWfL
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy429Please respect copyright.PENANAsN2ZiZuzFg
with total submersion you realize you429Please respect copyright.PENANA9kgXScBg9W
cannot see anything but infinite blue429Please respect copyright.PENANAtghuPidgrP
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak429Please respect copyright.PENANAvD7Qn89UQ3
with opaque skin, no one can see through429Please respect copyright.PENANARnSlwQCGWo
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet429Please respect copyright.PENANAqUu2vhNGHy
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind429Please respect copyright.PENANADBK9rLthGC
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,429Please respect copyright.PENANAqaq00w6Z5E
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?429Please respect copyright.PENANApFt53sHwya
The colour of soothing cold on your skin429Please respect copyright.PENANA6iJOtv4cQF
healing and giving back to you429Please respect copyright.PENANArVwXMV3GGa
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky429Please respect copyright.PENANA5M7AByEHYc
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots429Please respect copyright.PENANACL7t179Ehp
In the grandiose world you barely know,429Please respect copyright.PENANAJQqvUljD7p
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.429Please respect copyright.PENANA4euImS8QIe
the questions that dangle and form in your head429Please respect copyright.PENANA5IQxeYUXCF
with pages of answers waiting to be known429Please respect copyright.PENANA6fCPZB1XVu
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say429Please respect copyright.PENANAwANAQ4XYEm
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids429Please respect copyright.PENANAfLZ5ZfSazY
The facts are true when illumination shows429Please respect copyright.PENANA6NaAQ8XTSD
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?429Please respect copyright.PENANApuTOKaXEep
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking429Please respect copyright.PENANAGsxOFfKnZw
Is it true that you're even alone?429Please respect copyright.PENANA5gWp8wp3Qq
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,429Please respect copyright.PENANAicYoZw9bqO
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.429Please respect copyright.PENANApjiwxFx1uO
It can hold on no matter how violent,429Please respect copyright.PENANAY73xcQRKrj
The storm is strong but so is violet.429Please respect copyright.PENANAnpjC0D0IP7
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope429Please respect copyright.PENANAPqpDYL5KoK
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.429Please respect copyright.PENANAbdZcDus9j2
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore429Please respect copyright.PENANAwYZzmKOEYe
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown429Please respect copyright.PENANAExn9G7C5Fs
the candles that show off your face will drip429Please respect copyright.PENANAxBg95yZlt6
an increasingly pungent violet429Please respect copyright.PENANAg4MJ8gPBuP
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself429Please respect copyright.PENANADqBnsPaDZZ
your framed mirror is brightly lit429Please respect copyright.PENANA5EXyNW5HLT
with a once beautiful violet.
