Emotional Breakdown

Red is the story of love
Till the never bit ending
Like the amazing gift from above
As his hands were nailed and knees bending.

Orange is the story of temptation
Making life a bit hazy
Full of manipulation
The world is going crazy.

Yellow is the story of passion
Swallowed by the depths of the eyes
As they begin clashing
Caught in a trance and mesmerized.

Green is the story of envy
Torn between love and hate
Sending goosebumps into a frenzy
Plundering up traps for bait.

Blue is the story of sadness
With tears running down
Forever lost in the world of darkness
A smile spinning around into a frown.

Purple is the story of madness
As the world turns
Uncovering all the badness
As the world burns.

The rainbow is miraculous colors of emotion
Sometimes misread and not understood
Like the power of potion
Also used like a hood.

Darren Watson January 27, 2014 at 9:34 AM For me love will arrive on butterfly wings . When I feel them flutter in my heart I will know love has arrived . Trouble is those damned moths keep getting in the way . So I might give your theories a try . Superb poem Trish Ann Hubbard January 27, 2014 at 11:07 AM Thank you again Darren...I really appreciate you admiring my writing..and I have to say, you made me laugh lol damn them moths. What I write comes from my heart....never ever about nothings ;)

Rex Mccoy January 27, 2014 at 8:23 AM Enjoyed your thoughts here... Coupling colors with emotions is something we seldom think about, but it seems to have an impact on reality for sure. Some prisons have been testing the use of Pink to calm the inmates... With some recorded success too, I might add. :) Trish Ann Hubbard January 27, 2014 at 8:34 AM Thank you Rex :) The funny thing is, I was sweeping one day and rainbow came into my head and I stopped and sat down and wrote this poem in about 5 minutes lol it just poured out of me :) And I did not know that, that's pretty good thinking...colors have a lot to do with emotion...My fav color is yellow...people tend to think it odd but I tend to think it beautiful :) Have a beautiful day Sir :)
