O P T I M I S T I C Orange

Let the night embrace you with honey dreams,
Where you find your beloved dressed in tangerine,
She promises love and you kiss her marmalade lips, 
The trust you longed for, in her titian eyes is seen.


             In the saffron valley where good things happen,
             She sings to heal all your inner rustic wounds,
             She offers you sip, from coral river of happiness,
             And you believe her and listen to salmon sounds.


With bright orange sunshine, new day begins,
You hope someday, your orange lady you will find,
Your heart blooms like the young marigold,  
Life seems beautiful, amber fears are left behind.

Congratulations on your lifetime membership! I like all the shade of orange in this poem, and all your happiness synonyms. It’s really cool! This will inspire me to write about a color. Which one, though, I don’t know yet.
