golden warmth


___

shimmering light streams through the windows
beautiful yellow it flows as it comes and goes
golden warmth that fills the room until it glows
while illuminating my skin and casting shadows

I love light. And I hate darkness. My brothers and sisters tease me about being afraid of the dark, but that isn't it. I just hate how it feels, as if it's physical, as if it's wrapping around me like a blanket and suffocating me...I guess it's along the lines of claustrophobia. Though, phobia is anxiety disorder, and a synonym for anxiety is angst, and a synonym for angst is fear, so...um, yes. That brings us back to fear.
Alright, so I'm a little afraid of the dark.

But every morning, the sunrise filters through my bedroom blinds (if they're open, and if the weather is sunny) and falls onto my bed, onto the bookshelf, onto the desk and onto the carpet, making everything bright. And our Siamese cat sunbathes, stretched out lazily on the floor, purring her heart out.
It's lovely.

  3. I think I'm kind of the opposite of you. I love the darkness far more than I love light. This is beautiful, though, as always <3

  5. Beautiful image and poem. <3 I was scared of the dark, too, but not in a claustrophobic way. More like a...horror movie way. :')

  8. OMG yessss you understand so perfectly, Tane! I feel this exact way. Darkness just makes me uncomfortable and sad, so to be honest sometimes I sleep with the light on XD
