Stargaze
Never having believed in happiness, it occurs to me, might have had something to do with why i never actively pursued it. If it showed up regardless, well and good, but in general, day-to-day contentment seemed enough. And you know, maybe it is. For far too many around the world, it’s an unattainable dream.
But what about love, Dave?
And you call yourself a poet!
Pleiades
syncopating
crickets
The end of the world
We have both moved on for the best
I am happy
You are happy
We are happy
Not together, but the love for each other is loud enough like a scream on a early morning
Your voice telling me "you have someone better now".
You're right I do have someone better
You tell me "you cry as if it's the end of the world"
No, I cried like that because I was with you
Now I haven't cried once because of the person I have now
I have not cried because of the people who surround me now
You talk about someone new and it pains me in my chest,
Not because I wish I could be her
Because I wish happiness for you
I then realize I have found happiness in my self and others
* * *
i know i can be
alone.
i can survive the pain
alone.
i can feel the happiness
alone.
having you around is
comforting.
it's nice to not be by
myself.
but don't overstep your
place.
because i know i can be
alone.

Sun Shines Brightly
The evening was full of surprises.
Sunshine had a brighter, merrier tinge
Streets were full of decent men
And every woman looked beautiful.
Signals turned green at my very sight
Youngsters gave way, most obliging.
The fishmonger gave a couple free
The coffee tasted so good.
At the corner shop, I read out
A letter in English
To the unlettered worker
Who listened joyfully, as I told him
His daughter will be home for X’mas.
Passing, slowly, I saw me
In the glass panes -
A happy, smiling, me.
happy ending
I wonder why in the movies they always
seem to get the happy ending,
and I wonder, standing on the bridge,
why I had mine..
Just because..... I smile
Just because I smile
Dont think Im okay
Dont believe I am acutally happy
Dont try to make me more "Happy" than I already am.
Just because i smile
It douse not mean I'm really happy
It douse not mean I'm myslef
It douse not mean life is perfect.
Just because I smile
Still ask if Im okay
I cannot wait until life gets better
Just because I smile----- Please try to help me get through this stage.
Seventh
If you're not happy with my life,
Please...
Walk away.
Though I don't want to.
Untitled Part 31
I forgot the feeling of happiness.
I forgot what joy feels like.
I forgot the image of true smiles
I forgot how to be me.
Bouqets.
an attractively arranged bunch of flowers.
Don't get me wrong, i wanna be
your bouquet.
So that i can be a symbol of happiness and satisfaction
And provide nothing but lasting joy.
But it's sucks cause that will only be temporary.
As i, as strong and vibrant as i may seem,
cannot grow and blossom with you,
without my roots.
Her name is Happiness
You never know from where a breeze would waltz in
And when.
In the sultry heat,
When trees bend their heads, looking so forlorn
And leaves curl
(There is such sorrow in watching them)
When street dogs scramble beneath shade
And lie panting
When clothes in the clothesline hang limp
Like mourners of the dead -
I -
In the centre of the crossroads
That extends to barren emptiness all around…
I hear the flutter of fallen leaves at my feet
And turn to look –
The breeze comes up, smoking.

I didn't want to get over you
But I needed to
You were like a poison to my happiness
Everytime you lied, everytime you walked away
I used to think that if its you, then it's no fucking person
But indeed I was wrong, it wasnt you but it was me
I had to be myself
I had to stop trying to get something I know I won't achieve
I had to stop crying
So I did
