My Perfect Sunset

With eyes closed, I dream a perfect sunset- reflected in the aquamarine sea, and interlaced with blue and crimson waves that undulate and flow so wild and free. Sun glowing watermelon-tangerine, hangs low, framed by a lemon-saffron sky, and lines of coral streaking twilight blues- relates, another day has bid goodbye. Soon, eyes awake to sense my real world- sun shining pale against dim skies of blue. Dusk has come, and from the open window, scents from lavender lilacs seep through. No rolling sea mirroring great sunsets- only a lavish lawn that sprawls and flows with wind forming grassy, chartreuse waves. My perfect sunset- only dreams disclose.
