She Emits Sunshine

After a long struggle at the bottom of my emotional valley, Yvonne was back, with her infectious smile and Red Bull-charged energy, ready to embark on her way to kill the darkness with her most powerful weapon: her optimistic heart. 

That was a sunny day, sunshine sparking on my hair, my face, and my heart. The sun lit up the candle in my gloomy heart. I missed this feeling. It felt like I was alive again. The sun did not just light up my smile but my soul.

She glances back, 

The caramel silk brushes her fair cheeks

Tilting head, smiling from ear to ear, 

She, with two dewy eyes.

Immersed  in gleams,

Mellowed orb of light over her spreads far and wide 

Deep in the core, the Maker of shadows dwells,

Seals the gloom on the floor,

Tramples woes by its feet.  

Radiating blissful vibes,

Echoing souls beside. 

The Lady of Light,

Byron’s Darkness dies.
