~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
happiness is a song
sung from lips hesitant to smile
and eyes hesitant to accept
the light pouring from the tunnel's end.
happiness is a familiar story
told once and forgotten
told twice and remembered
realized and lost, found and treasured.
happiness is a form of love
love of self, love of another
love for the oxygen that feeds the blood
and prolongs the joy of existence.
happiness is a song
happiness is a song
and it is hard to sing after so long.
but breathe your strength into my lungs
feed my hunger, fill my lacking
I will sing for you and only you
as the
most
joyful
skybird.

this is fucking beautiful, romantic and yet sort of cynical. wow, really well written.
for me, happiness is learning how to ties your shoes. after that all the innocence was lost.
I came on a rec. And I'm glad that I did. [=
@the_giant_I - thanks so much. :) and your approval does seem to matter to me.. probably because I know you are a very good poet.
@impossibleangles - i'm glad you did too. thanks!

aaah, blushes. thank you dear.
Love is a need to everyone and it will complete the rest...too bad it does not happen now. Nice poem.
Love it. :)
@Murazrai - thanks for commenting... and I think I agree.
@pouringoutmyhearttoyou - thanks!

Very nice.
"

Nice little reminder to simply love the fact that you're alive.
Also, Blue October is an excellent band. I saw them in concert about a month ago, and it was incredible enough that I'll go see them again in August.
Keep up the good work.
@EndlessDepths - thanks. :)
yeah, I like blue october. never seen them in concert though.

@Alyxandri - You definitely should make that very high on your list of priorities. Heh.
