a poem about what emotion you think goes with each colour of the rainbow."
As your face darkens with all you cannot say,332Please respect copyright.PENANA6kn1ndSjJT
and blood saturated with endless, fragmented thoughts 332Please respect copyright.PENANAjJchwgqxJq
pounds against your head332Please respect copyright.PENANAgmr3IRHlTS
they finally burst out in sharp, vivid red.332Please respect copyright.PENANA0CbcNOLYKj
As fists curl and teeth bear with deafening force332Please respect copyright.PENANARF5zfPbnDu
lurching at what you think has to be said332Please respect copyright.PENANAZsEK7ckPZV
You scream your throat raw in pulsating red.
But then there are times when cheeks darken too332Please respect copyright.PENANAb4nE5NepPR
Yet all sound is compressed deep down332Please respect copyright.PENANA45LTingi7u
Instead, it's your heart whose leader is led332Please respect copyright.PENANA1HaeKdqNqA
For it too is also a passionate red.332Please respect copyright.PENANAzc5qTw86An
When eyes are meeting and holding stance332Please respect copyright.PENANAJUIzgEeUyi
revelling in what doesn't need to be said332Please respect copyright.PENANAh6B2AiEeSu
2 souls are glowing with red.
The colour of summer, hot air on your skin332Please respect copyright.PENANAKrqXDG5S1f
A sunset that glows with crescendoing goodbyes332Please respect copyright.PENANAtQnHgWGOqO
wind that flies through your hair, your neck askew332Please respect copyright.PENANAWjaXuHWayL
has a thrillingly carefree orange hue.332Please respect copyright.PENANAonImxlEi5n
The music that blasts your ears with no pain332Please respect copyright.PENANAP2SbWXDAKl
And the firecrackers dancing against the dark view332Please respect copyright.PENANAKAkkhQwN9W
Are expelling an orange hue
But then come the times when the fire grows332Please respect copyright.PENANApa0MVnwOGM
Where the whiskey spills over and burns your hands332Please respect copyright.PENANAZDoLAzihTy
As the earth is in flames and crumbles around you332Please respect copyright.PENANA1z2zVajgu5
you uncaringly dance through the orange hue.332Please respect copyright.PENANAGJNymlstGu
So is the screech of swerving tires332Please respect copyright.PENANA5LhDAEhL7f
You realize late that the headlights are too332Please respect copyright.PENANAhzfsSh0HaP
A final orange hue.
When your eyes crinkle with a glistening grin332Please respect copyright.PENANACZvgXcJtBK
and from your mouth tumble the comforting sounds332Please respect copyright.PENANAtWwCDPfR0M
from 50-foot pages to just a simple hello332Please respect copyright.PENANA8dCttMvb8p
your world is turned a pleasant yellow. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAY7KOBKs8nN
The sweetness of thirst-quenching lemonade332Please respect copyright.PENANAdYahbBRanB
and the colour of the breeze that makes flower petals blow332Please respect copyright.PENANAyd2Gub8dYA
is all a soothing yellow.
But what happens when yellow turns into gold?332Please respect copyright.PENANAkPor76z4LT
when the glisten is the thing you see yet seek?332Please respect copyright.PENANAtFlHwkDJrh
When flowers are boring unless they can be sold332Please respect copyright.PENANAL5CHyn3EcJ
But alas, they're only yellow.332Please respect copyright.PENANAn1TXKZgyBE
With treasures piled high in decadent glory332Please respect copyright.PENANA1t5jBxk9lK
the hunt wasted on dead things, you can hold332Please respect copyright.PENANAyP52eFmW2f
you ask, "Where did my yellow go?"
The feeling of poison slowly seeping through your veins332Please respect copyright.PENANA7eO74Htx8m
as the swirling desire and guilt stings your innards 332Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZDBaCZfqS
You grin through the vines as they strangle your being332Please respect copyright.PENANAvJEsWA4OdH
But still, you are green with bottled envy.332Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Mts2wo99
As the ivy infects all that it brushes332Please respect copyright.PENANAMZl7Wr7BPY
your decay envenoms others and all they achieve332Please respect copyright.PENANAJNvI6EZyuz
Because It's hard to paint over green
But a nourished plant begins to grow332Please respect copyright.PENANA8JPnLphwji
When it's isolated from power and stinging want332Please respect copyright.PENANAblIxh8r765
If you notice the binoculars frost with sheen332Please respect copyright.PENANAuYVxBwXtJg
Your reflection stares back at you in shades of green332Please respect copyright.PENANAniV5gbOQrH
Tirelessly Climb the vines, cut the thorns332Please respect copyright.PENANA6mlS12i3Ga
as the mossy clifftops are finally reached332Please respect copyright.PENANAMRIlQksC6I
You stare down at the miles of green.
The towering waves that crash over and over332Please respect copyright.PENANAd16wGpiwXv
filling your lungs that make your whole body heavy332Please respect copyright.PENANAhPyOLKziMx
with total submersion you realize you332Please respect copyright.PENANA6wspFm55B6
cannot see anything but infinite blue332Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZgKXchBmm
Yet this internal ocean cannot leak332Please respect copyright.PENANA7N5RTLjNYt
with opaque skin, no one can see through332Please respect copyright.PENANAyfwm5pB3t7
to your dull aching blue
But underwater, the world is quiet332Please respect copyright.PENANAcUBogew04J
When there's no other colour to deviate your mind332Please respect copyright.PENANATKwatDO5DL
As the rain softly falls and soaks you,332Please respect copyright.PENANANksKQR8i93
you think, can I really live in this world of blue?332Please respect copyright.PENANA5h6aKzh8G3
The colour of soothing cold on your skin332Please respect copyright.PENANADZruO72siB
healing and giving back to you332Please respect copyright.PENANADaGpKW0v6g
is delicately blue.
And the water is painted by the night sky332Please respect copyright.PENANAuLeoIRQWbr
as your eyes look up at the pricked white dots332Please respect copyright.PENANA5tlz2xU9n2
In the grandiose world you barely know,332Please respect copyright.PENANAhhSC8zeqgS
you can't help but gawk at the indigo.332Please respect copyright.PENANAuqjpw9sLRL
the questions that dangle and form in your head332Please respect copyright.PENANAMPPYItX6ac
with pages of answers waiting to be known332Please respect copyright.PENANAxR62lMjnHS
are dipped in indigo.
But all the books in the world can never say332Please respect copyright.PENANA1NR3RqvHtP
what lies in the darkness just behind your eyelids332Please respect copyright.PENANALjJocaYxzg
The facts are true when illumination shows332Please respect copyright.PENANAGj2R0zcmsx
but can you be sure in this muddy indigo?332Please respect copyright.PENANAyUvlzduyvI
The sky is growing, the world is shrinking332Please respect copyright.PENANAdgdZ1d30bC
Is it true that you're even alone?332Please respect copyright.PENANAicvovMvF2b
What hides in the indigo?
The colour of the smallest flower,332Please respect copyright.PENANAEP3CeeThic
that clings to its stem as the elements rage.332Please respect copyright.PENANAs1BAHHao6e
It can hold on no matter how violent,332Please respect copyright.PENANAxnQfEKo6HW
The storm is strong but so is violet.332Please respect copyright.PENANA8doDHfe5w2
The colour used as fuel for your burning hope332Please respect copyright.PENANA6auIhbvYtY
and amethyst crystals held close, tightly gripped.332Please respect copyright.PENANAFtiVzk45wT
are unabashedly violet
But when fuel is no longer needed anymore332Please respect copyright.PENANAlI67T0vlK0
it dyes your luxurious robes and new crown332Please respect copyright.PENANA5f42wsoSWZ
the candles that show off your face will drip332Please respect copyright.PENANAAaoLQ7woCF
an increasingly pungent violet332Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z6jr4avNi
As your wine bottles grow dusty, saved only for yourself332Please respect copyright.PENANA914iB5ceAp
your framed mirror is brightly lit332Please respect copyright.PENANATqRK2i3eqb
with a once beautiful violet.
