a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,515Please respect copyright.PENANALhOReZF3iH
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 515Please respect copyright.PENANASmVoL7Vo3F
pounds against your head515Please respect copyright.PENANAnKK65pZJDm
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.515Please respect copyright.PENANAtmvZbdxSCX
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force515Please respect copyright.PENANA2o9aYekMMo
lurching at what you think has to be said515Please respect copyright.PENANARGWhEdexhE
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too515Please respect copyright.PENANAg3R5Bw6Hz1
Yet all sound is compressed deep down515Please respect copyright.PENANAQkapwSUzjn
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led515Please respect copyright.PENANArwfXzocEfR
For it too is also a passionate red.515Please respect copyright.PENANAaFigzlnu8f
When eyes are meeting and holding stance515Please respect copyright.PENANAXyHC5dej3W
revelling in what doesn't need to be said515Please respect copyright.PENANAZAJOiXc5Bo
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin515Please respect copyright.PENANAzFoCQ0t063
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes515Please respect copyright.PENANABuLYvAKa4Y
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew515Please respect copyright.PENANAQplPTFeJ6Y
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.515Please respect copyright.PENANAeemVggmPA2
The music that blasts your ears with no pain515Please respect copyright.PENANAvy8qvVvsch
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view515Please respect copyright.PENANAXWMXiDRrYd
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows515Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0mpvJsYBb
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands515Please respect copyright.PENANAY5HBnHPAFF
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you515Please respect copyright.PENANARe9gXwH3m7
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.515Please respect copyright.PENANAlUFkpaayd3
So is the screech of swerving tires515Please respect copyright.PENANA6vox9Th0qE
You realize late that the headlights are too515Please respect copyright.PENANAhXg7g99GFP
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin515Please respect copyright.PENANAntVHRxMLfI
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds515Please respect copyright.PENANALZcPqhuyZE
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello515Please respect copyright.PENANA3qID36S9MM
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 515Please respect copyright.PENANAc4WU0bl47N
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade515Please respect copyright.PENANAMRGnkywOjj
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow515Please respect copyright.PENANAgnzVSJoLlJ
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?515Please respect copyright.PENANApxw7MhmgG4
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?515Please respect copyright.PENANA5pegDCBx4V
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold515Please respect copyright.PENANAuWfaNYaLys
But alas, they're only yellow.515Please respect copyright.PENANAaVobP5b4nJ
With treasures piled high in decadent glory515Please respect copyright.PENANAUn4g35WQbq
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold515Please respect copyright.PENANAXmfd0euSJS
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins515Please respect copyright.PENANAaKnGlEdQ8a
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 515Please respect copyright.PENANA65oZ6qr2zE
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being515Please respect copyright.PENANAdDZGv6X0Ay
But still, you are green with bottled envy.515Please respect copyright.PENANAGVwCmyYYHL
As the ivy infects all that it brushes515Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9EMfi0gcG
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve515Please respect copyright.PENANAcS4XHbklQT
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow515Please respect copyright.PENANAOUGLWrW7tu
When it's isolated from power and stinging want515Please respect copyright.PENANAD4RhrXS72D
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen515Please respect copyright.PENANAh8DcAmi7yr
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green515Please respect copyright.PENANAbckERzTwz4
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns515Please respect copyright.PENANALKPxhVFLhc
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached515Please respect copyright.PENANA5LCow2weQN
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over515Please respect copyright.PENANAfl6yfoC8Sc
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy515Please respect copyright.PENANAidKxtlkBiv
with total submersion you realize you515Please respect copyright.PENANAr9qLBLzlJA
cannot see anything but infinite blue515Please respect copyright.PENANA018gHH1jpy
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak515Please respect copyright.PENANAVaxHKhADCI
with opaque skin, no one can see through515Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0k0JSYluI
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet515Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ2lTCS2NP
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind515Please respect copyright.PENANACpTTIottNX
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,515Please respect copyright.PENANAMByjP9xIlW
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?515Please respect copyright.PENANAx44iMEh1nc
The colour of soothing cold on your skin515Please respect copyright.PENANA9vPN0LRGiu
healing and giving back to you515Please respect copyright.PENANANREa4W9VjM
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky515Please respect copyright.PENANA7RwPpXgQQh
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots515Please respect copyright.PENANAciki6jE15q
In the grandiose world you barely know,515Please respect copyright.PENANAE1sV8KGJcB
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.515Please respect copyright.PENANAqcncnArAtv
the questions that dangle and form in your head515Please respect copyright.PENANAOGnRrm2QJt
with pages of answers waiting to be known515Please respect copyright.PENANAQCom5l9HfH
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say515Please respect copyright.PENANAdWAOn1IQ9w
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids515Please respect copyright.PENANAfGKwy73Anj
The facts are true when illumination shows515Please respect copyright.PENANA04C2vBMYNK
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?515Please respect copyright.PENANAl7zpA74P3U
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking515Please respect copyright.PENANAWQldUnO2dJ
Is it true that you're even alone?515Please respect copyright.PENANAsycaJTwkGY
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,515Please respect copyright.PENANApP5XuSQytB
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.515Please respect copyright.PENANAY5e9wBgytT
It can hold on no matter how violent,515Please respect copyright.PENANAal7IUbQWDC
The storm is strong but so is violet.515Please respect copyright.PENANAoQNU0WcFRR
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope515Please respect copyright.PENANAifjKBfRgDl
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.515Please respect copyright.PENANA3hwxhPtfkF
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore515Please respect copyright.PENANA12a6hK5W8f
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown515Please respect copyright.PENANAEa5vYwtczj
the candles that show off your face will drip515Please respect copyright.PENANAcScCSBB0oh
an increasingly pungent violet515Please respect copyright.PENANAfbt0zw0YuZ
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself515Please respect copyright.PENANANeFG5Fx8yn
your framed mirror is brightly lit515Please respect copyright.PENANADAlFydkvri
with a once beautiful violet.
