a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,412Please respect copyright.PENANAx3sYVFRcbQ
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 412Please respect copyright.PENANAiC3H7sgJcG
pounds against your head412Please respect copyright.PENANAdP4JEEN67x
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.412Please respect copyright.PENANACZGbUjxraA
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force412Please respect copyright.PENANArsGiO9cPu0
lurching at what you think has to be said412Please respect copyright.PENANAlZUnqM3o7f
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too412Please respect copyright.PENANABuyyNEexh5
Yet all sound is compressed deep down412Please respect copyright.PENANAPMuRYlK7Le
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led412Please respect copyright.PENANAD7yhF6K3l3
For it too is also a passionate red.412Please respect copyright.PENANA6ygXkMNMLe
When eyes are meeting and holding stance412Please respect copyright.PENANASOn15Aq7Ta
revelling in what doesn't need to be said412Please respect copyright.PENANA2cqIkxYa3m
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin412Please respect copyright.PENANADTQL1q5yUI
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes412Please respect copyright.PENANAsgDzRkJO8v
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew412Please respect copyright.PENANAmPfo3HILUF
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.412Please respect copyright.PENANA7hU24cUkxu
The music that blasts your ears with no pain412Please respect copyright.PENANAR1Ry26GydQ
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view412Please respect copyright.PENANArjkb907ovl
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows412Please respect copyright.PENANAs0PEWUu4m9
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands412Please respect copyright.PENANAd1jaWSOECQ
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you412Please respect copyright.PENANA3OnuT1fyzt
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.412Please respect copyright.PENANADTnSlSQwFZ
So is the screech of swerving tires412Please respect copyright.PENANANXdRwTXPsR
You realize late that the headlights are too412Please respect copyright.PENANAqd2d9ucUxL
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin412Please respect copyright.PENANATkqDc6w0K5
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds412Please respect copyright.PENANAkTp4ukddPE
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello412Please respect copyright.PENANA8lL1SPECQT
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 412Please respect copyright.PENANAxUFLvGs0Ni
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade412Please respect copyright.PENANALoOYpbgDMG
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow412Please respect copyright.PENANArMLGFzKiBy
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?412Please respect copyright.PENANAAXKljNROD6
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?412Please respect copyright.PENANAlJlkvbkR1L
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold412Please respect copyright.PENANAAYCpnosGVT
But alas, they're only yellow.412Please respect copyright.PENANAanEzwP1VzR
With treasures piled high in decadent glory412Please respect copyright.PENANADLlLHcAhFz
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold412Please respect copyright.PENANA9t45AQocIL
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins412Please respect copyright.PENANAWOXchyC53n
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 412Please respect copyright.PENANASbUzADW4Nn
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being412Please respect copyright.PENANAGe9oE8wia5
But still, you are green with bottled envy.412Please respect copyright.PENANAy33BFX1l2s
As the ivy infects all that it brushes412Please respect copyright.PENANAVEkQ1E8NHP
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve412Please respect copyright.PENANAYHhXwlIhpT
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow412Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZmzLdo3ar
When it's isolated from power and stinging want412Please respect copyright.PENANAXbdtcJoQQr
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen412Please respect copyright.PENANA2rbn8KqDEx
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green412Please respect copyright.PENANAlXu8A9yzGS
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns412Please respect copyright.PENANAeBLItTe2Hv
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached412Please respect copyright.PENANAeEEsGhHATE
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over412Please respect copyright.PENANALJKxM5sddR
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy412Please respect copyright.PENANALLhGP1NLbV
with total submersion you realize you412Please respect copyright.PENANAXAUVhUrDaD
cannot see anything but infinite blue412Please respect copyright.PENANAVgVTDNbpOL
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak412Please respect copyright.PENANASTuZC2KRGS
with opaque skin, no one can see through412Please respect copyright.PENANAon2im8wvo1
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet412Please respect copyright.PENANASKB7qWlUXR
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind412Please respect copyright.PENANAVq6ZqWrenZ
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,412Please respect copyright.PENANAl44EaZO63O
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?412Please respect copyright.PENANAMjLOSli8I2
The colour of soothing cold on your skin412Please respect copyright.PENANA61P6S420Zf
healing and giving back to you412Please respect copyright.PENANAO4nRizNHYY
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky412Please respect copyright.PENANAMjIVmr4C9Z
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots412Please respect copyright.PENANACV7PFbbLu3
In the grandiose world you barely know,412Please respect copyright.PENANALP8l2VpKgU
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.412Please respect copyright.PENANAcNgOfNbjPE
the questions that dangle and form in your head412Please respect copyright.PENANAk8vNO1glgh
with pages of answers waiting to be known412Please respect copyright.PENANA6a8unJSq1q
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say412Please respect copyright.PENANAdrKBtLSSGB
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids412Please respect copyright.PENANAtYsLLSXqE1
The facts are true when illumination shows412Please respect copyright.PENANA4XxnPrIwG8
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?412Please respect copyright.PENANA384KUECCr4
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking412Please respect copyright.PENANAicYuYGCGMd
Is it true that you're even alone?412Please respect copyright.PENANAkmfZgpwhik
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,412Please respect copyright.PENANAKT8lVHRwJf
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.412Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZrTa6dhZr
It can hold on no matter how violent,412Please respect copyright.PENANAiAzLpukTn8
The storm is strong but so is violet.412Please respect copyright.PENANA5fR4oBJ5P0
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope412Please respect copyright.PENANAgVk9qVau0v
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.412Please respect copyright.PENANAz5kXgz5KJq
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore412Please respect copyright.PENANAgIHPxdBIui
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown412Please respect copyright.PENANAGdzYZfoS3N
the candles that show off your face will drip412Please respect copyright.PENANArYSPiMPeNe
an increasingly pungent violet412Please respect copyright.PENANAcpzGfI2GwT
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself412Please respect copyright.PENANABoRDAeW5gI
your framed mirror is brightly lit412Please respect copyright.PENANAAagB2j21I7
with a once beautiful violet.
