Happiness

Happiness, what is it ?

The eternal essence of life,

Or an incessant strive,

Quenching of a thirsty throat,

Or vacation with friends, off road,

A homeless feeding a stray dog,

Or dance of rain and croaking frog,

The first baby step of a child,

Or saving trees and the wild,

At teenage, the virgin kiss,

Or caressing the grayed wisp,

The smell of success young,

Or listening to an old soothing song,

Happiness, what is it ?

An ethereal, ephemeral cheat.

{ A trial to decipher the code of happiness which eventually does not last for long. }

Good Morning! I never said

Ghetto, my sprawling luxurious home,

Gunny bags filled with desires, numb,

Grungy dumpster hiding broken toys,

Gorgeous rags stitched with threads of joy,

Gruelling pain of blistered feet,

Grains of food, we rarely meet,

Glittering stars my roof overhead,

Good Morning! I never said.

TRIVIA

----------

{ The young boy from the ghetto speaks. A hint of the the life that he lives there. Every morning starts with a struggle for him. }

FEAR

Freezing mind,

Sinking heart,

Sweating hands don’t hold,

Season be any, there remains cold,

Silly exams, cockroaches or nothing,

Gruesome sins,handful crimes,

A figure smeared white,

The silhouette of fright.

TRIVIA

----------

{ Most of us have a fear of something. What is it for you ? }

Elephant ride

Enormous grey soft seat,

Supported on four strong wheels,

Two fans beating the wind on my face,

Ivory hangers for the swing,

Trunk that lifts me upright,

O how I enjoyed my Elephant ride!

Swaying left and right,

Atop an ecstasy rush,

Hearing a gigantic heartbeat,

So similar to mine,

No King, Queen or Knight,

O how I enjoyed my Elephant ride !

TRIVIA

----------

{ Remembering an old childhood memory.}
