Shades Of Orange

beautiful in every single way but one. ♥

Bright rays of ultraviolet waves peak through my window,
sneaking through the blinds and causing me to flicker and open my eyes.

That warm familiar hue resting on my skin has reminded me of all the places I've been,
But it also reminds me of the time and that I should live and rise.

I push the covers away, emerging from my cocoon to start my day,
My feet softly hitting the floor, slowly propelling my body to open my closet door.

Each article of clothing within brings back a memory like a pin.
Dressed and ready, I shuffle to the mirror with the brush, slow and steady.

Locks are silky smooth and tangle free, a golden garden without weeds.
Next comes the perfume, coconuts and vanilla, fill the room.

Everyone's awake, yet gone to work, leaving me alone with a quirk.
Silence permeates the air, but I don't care. 
I open the windows, let in the warm breeze, carrying with it, the beautiful bird tweets.

I exit the house, the sun completely embracing me in it's arms.
Nothing is wrong today, nothing sets off any alarm.

Today is the day, I wake up to summer, meet my lover
Every day since winter began we've been missing, summer's hugs and sun kissing
