a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,258Please respect copyright.PENANAgHuGK8hofm
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 258Please respect copyright.PENANAaIEo4uolXw
pounds against your head258Please respect copyright.PENANAALGJ71CRUb
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.258Please respect copyright.PENANAfLa4KoqO7E
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force258Please respect copyright.PENANA4fF4SzfTPX
lurching at what you think has to be said258Please respect copyright.PENANAkySnkrydAL
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too258Please respect copyright.PENANAZw0vZ1IBcy
Yet all sound is compressed deep down258Please respect copyright.PENANA5icklOAKNF
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led258Please respect copyright.PENANACWsbW7cpns
For it too is also a passionate red.258Please respect copyright.PENANA2AYmPNyXzD
When eyes are meeting and holding stance258Please respect copyright.PENANATqqqXbMoUe
revelling in what doesn't need to be said258Please respect copyright.PENANADJHLSj0H6I
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin258Please respect copyright.PENANAv0cskiGHIO
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes258Please respect copyright.PENANAKCSUeiL9RN
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew258Please respect copyright.PENANAEy6bzeP3wg
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.258Please respect copyright.PENANArUeKPu6s2E
The music that blasts your ears with no pain258Please respect copyright.PENANAkDHSgiiB1t
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view258Please respect copyright.PENANAwqU9EH5SJB
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows258Please respect copyright.PENANAmOJtF0PfeK
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands258Please respect copyright.PENANAHYUCDi82MI
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you258Please respect copyright.PENANAwf1szFVbZo
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.258Please respect copyright.PENANAzunsx3verD
So is the screech of swerving tires258Please respect copyright.PENANAX966oNYVCl
You realize late that the headlights are too258Please respect copyright.PENANABOLsXqxpY2
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin258Please respect copyright.PENANAGOBt0NDy5O
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds258Please respect copyright.PENANAhvE357tdm5
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello258Please respect copyright.PENANAdWlMg1dU5I
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 258Please respect copyright.PENANA0noo6axcst
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade258Please respect copyright.PENANA8eock19aV3
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow258Please respect copyright.PENANALCVct40QEK
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?258Please respect copyright.PENANAPaPE2qNQmQ
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?258Please respect copyright.PENANAsucDlDVvbJ
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold258Please respect copyright.PENANA3HWhnxfGnx
But alas, they're only yellow.258Please respect copyright.PENANAEuUUkTi5J5
With treasures piled high in decadent glory258Please respect copyright.PENANAn3CzBUy7cK
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold258Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tf06CrBxT
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins258Please respect copyright.PENANABl4CTPFX7a
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 258Please respect copyright.PENANApHW3CauZgf
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being258Please respect copyright.PENANAfJojVXklIr
But still, you are green with bottled envy.258Please respect copyright.PENANALySVCL88fI
As the ivy infects all that it brushes258Please respect copyright.PENANAeXfhODpZSp
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve258Please respect copyright.PENANA8cnBnwCjD8
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow258Please respect copyright.PENANA3t7WYnAJi9
When it's isolated from power and stinging want258Please respect copyright.PENANA3O1VozIffO
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen258Please respect copyright.PENANArPcNHPCes5
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green258Please respect copyright.PENANAM894itr5mu
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns258Please respect copyright.PENANAmQbN28IGPd
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached258Please respect copyright.PENANA1G9Jc1eQgB
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over258Please respect copyright.PENANArAUhYBQcjn
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy258Please respect copyright.PENANA9dF5CMQkUW
with total submersion you realize you258Please respect copyright.PENANAVn1Wa79dVD
cannot see anything but infinite blue258Please respect copyright.PENANAqumd4aO77S
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak258Please respect copyright.PENANAZafaTusnA0
with opaque skin, no one can see through258Please respect copyright.PENANAaBxnsXkf8w
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet258Please respect copyright.PENANAKGZcABkKUp
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind258Please respect copyright.PENANAma8WBIXMrB
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,258Please respect copyright.PENANA5ySMCbiqKh
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?258Please respect copyright.PENANATbsEIVzdye
The colour of soothing cold on your skin258Please respect copyright.PENANAIChSisGMGB
healing and giving back to you258Please respect copyright.PENANArvjiLMDGxB
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky258Please respect copyright.PENANA6XU1wvRB5z
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots258Please respect copyright.PENANAtfLRQvmLF4
In the grandiose world you barely know,258Please respect copyright.PENANAKJbqOHxcJ5
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.258Please respect copyright.PENANA0AzsuntIV0
the questions that dangle and form in your head258Please respect copyright.PENANAN47OguI3pD
with pages of answers waiting to be known258Please respect copyright.PENANAgP5Aw6h86L
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say258Please respect copyright.PENANAM0q9q28TjM
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids258Please respect copyright.PENANAIbluu6iNf5
The facts are true when illumination shows258Please respect copyright.PENANAX97TDmmTWM
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?258Please respect copyright.PENANAlsYVKYnrO3
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking258Please respect copyright.PENANA4cZpaLWXc3
Is it true that you're even alone?258Please respect copyright.PENANAyCeb1e1nlq
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,258Please respect copyright.PENANAcaaTzvwCvN
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.258Please respect copyright.PENANA8PjeS007HH
It can hold on no matter how violent,258Please respect copyright.PENANAMMbvDRjIre
The storm is strong but so is violet.258Please respect copyright.PENANAr6mBSAwuf0
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope258Please respect copyright.PENANALQJxcht98E
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.258Please respect copyright.PENANAUdhyc42Sqg
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore258Please respect copyright.PENANAa7JiSlCHyl
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown258Please respect copyright.PENANA45knI16Ceo
the candles that show off your face will drip258Please respect copyright.PENANAojhnNfWB2Y
an increasingly pungent violet258Please respect copyright.PENANAPD0P8vJeck
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself258Please respect copyright.PENANArh0pEhp81l
your framed mirror is brightly lit258Please respect copyright.PENANAjfjQiOpci2
with a once beautiful violet.
