a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,403Please respect copyright.PENANAcuKCvzz0mK
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 403Please respect copyright.PENANA10keCeEMJZ
pounds against your head403Please respect copyright.PENANA3ilBVWNBG7
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.403Please respect copyright.PENANAA3E7RjVyKe
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force403Please respect copyright.PENANAobjQmB81GW
lurching at what you think has to be said403Please respect copyright.PENANA32ghvVJLRH
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too403Please respect copyright.PENANANzBNOjeosf
Yet all sound is compressed deep down403Please respect copyright.PENANA2tmA2S9Oph
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led403Please respect copyright.PENANAB6PkGy8ayD
For it too is also a passionate red.403Please respect copyright.PENANAlwQCODBZew
When eyes are meeting and holding stance403Please respect copyright.PENANAAMZbhvIHGE
revelling in what doesn't need to be said403Please respect copyright.PENANAvIyG4reePT
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin403Please respect copyright.PENANAKcrVfvMs0y
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes403Please respect copyright.PENANAs5rPLkAGrt
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew403Please respect copyright.PENANAn7csNgQIGV
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.403Please respect copyright.PENANA3ByJL2c69t
The music that blasts your ears with no pain403Please respect copyright.PENANAOTRiT9JBKj
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view403Please respect copyright.PENANAPAAk68Se3c
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows403Please respect copyright.PENANATXMAu9IMch
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands403Please respect copyright.PENANAEnegZkCN7v
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you403Please respect copyright.PENANALPgmBVkHG1
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.403Please respect copyright.PENANAABgnSmjy8t
So is the screech of swerving tires403Please respect copyright.PENANA7ADXxQjIIa
You realize late that the headlights are too403Please respect copyright.PENANANb7UZPd4aU
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin403Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4woZbeBMM
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds403Please respect copyright.PENANA0BLvyPiOrb
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello403Please respect copyright.PENANASK2ZaHZI7M
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 403Please respect copyright.PENANAOF8sokucdx
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade403Please respect copyright.PENANANpnNR93Bzl
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow403Please respect copyright.PENANA39dA4bKlrt
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?403Please respect copyright.PENANAblvdhXEOSi
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?403Please respect copyright.PENANAQpuxfqaijx
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold403Please respect copyright.PENANAHzbMlfbLLQ
But alas, they're only yellow.403Please respect copyright.PENANA14fPQ0BXBj
With treasures piled high in decadent glory403Please respect copyright.PENANAeEj74Di9kt
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold403Please respect copyright.PENANAeuT2eJ8kKL
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins403Please respect copyright.PENANAwYkNtzMg8m
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 403Please respect copyright.PENANAy0DyJkaS94
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being403Please respect copyright.PENANAyWLPD9AadC
But still, you are green with bottled envy.403Please respect copyright.PENANARnumbCApdh
As the ivy infects all that it brushes403Please respect copyright.PENANA7cXTc83zJu
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve403Please respect copyright.PENANAsHh4v3rhos
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow403Please respect copyright.PENANAqC7PEpHYly
When it's isolated from power and stinging want403Please respect copyright.PENANAvcNvKhWc3O
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen403Please respect copyright.PENANA6fNcvwqBao
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green403Please respect copyright.PENANA9yjD8IetlC
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns403Please respect copyright.PENANAF8rV7laudn
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached403Please respect copyright.PENANAweimbduyye
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over403Please respect copyright.PENANAgKasgTzQGo
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy403Please respect copyright.PENANACiUP7ijlGi
with total submersion you realize you403Please respect copyright.PENANA4RzvqQ2VHV
cannot see anything but infinite blue403Please respect copyright.PENANAyXjRUjHA9n
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak403Please respect copyright.PENANAA1Nm8DSajN
with opaque skin, no one can see through403Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9GR4aQUZk
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet403Please respect copyright.PENANAmmsbZyrsBq
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind403Please respect copyright.PENANAMpuC1iXAul
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,403Please respect copyright.PENANAd6jDUJHCdc
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?403Please respect copyright.PENANAneQojnzeGo
The colour of soothing cold on your skin403Please respect copyright.PENANAx1zd6LTVTH
healing and giving back to you403Please respect copyright.PENANA5ThoGjKEfv
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky403Please respect copyright.PENANAcibyeB3n4n
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots403Please respect copyright.PENANANr51QJvFO3
In the grandiose world you barely know,403Please respect copyright.PENANABCe3K5Ld2U
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.403Please respect copyright.PENANA4KllnwOyxt
the questions that dangle and form in your head403Please respect copyright.PENANAqsJfZ7poad
with pages of answers waiting to be known403Please respect copyright.PENANAMDRx0Fooog
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say403Please respect copyright.PENANAOaxF41erFH
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids403Please respect copyright.PENANAdyvWeUftuO
The facts are true when illumination shows403Please respect copyright.PENANASvpqb6FlLr
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?403Please respect copyright.PENANASBsKh0IXP1
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking403Please respect copyright.PENANAktxCIrvGiK
Is it true that you're even alone?403Please respect copyright.PENANAZvAuUL5yKQ
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,403Please respect copyright.PENANAyMIRIo3b5c
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.403Please respect copyright.PENANAWgicD44j7j
It can hold on no matter how violent,403Please respect copyright.PENANA6GLUT176Pu
The storm is strong but so is violet.403Please respect copyright.PENANANf5GY6WTj4
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope403Please respect copyright.PENANABFLdPQlwJS
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.403Please respect copyright.PENANAToa5Fls5eA
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore403Please respect copyright.PENANAYnD1ojlqvy
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown403Please respect copyright.PENANAfTkRfEh111
the candles that show off your face will drip403Please respect copyright.PENANAxj1QIGr0Ra
an increasingly pungent violet403Please respect copyright.PENANAHJRn0hW9NH
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself403Please respect copyright.PENANA4PwlqjB3Qd
your framed mirror is brightly lit403Please respect copyright.PENANA2tGiT7FakC
with a once beautiful violet.
