WHEN HAPPINESS FINDS ME...

I thought I’d give happiness a try and though the poem took me more than a week to complete it isn’t what exactly I had planned. Anyways my poems on happiness turn out to be a letdown J so ill let it go and stick to misery.


Happiness finds me on the sands of a wasted life,
Where the sun soaks into my numbed fingers and only mocking birds cry.
I sit on the shores with my back to an inferno, whose songs evoked only pain,
Praying I forget the bittersweet taste that His miseries filled in my empty soul.
The gentle sea breeze sings me Joy melting the frost that built up in the crevices of a disregarded heart,
And an ocean of pain flows to join the patient sea, who takes it away without so much as a word of complain.
As I walk on amongst the tides I feel desolation being sucked away,
And as misery weeps on desertion I smile on my triumph.

And as I tread alone, a pauper in a crowd
I see Him say goodbye as he moves on.
And brittle hope glows in all its gloryAs I realise I am finally free.
