John Hamilton Poet Terza Rima

Happiness Is Found

Happiness is found

Happiness is found, right there in your smile
dazzling me with those pearly whites
makes me want to linger for a little while.

Happiness is found, in your loving embrace
arms wrapped around my body tight
your warmth permeates, leaves it's trace.

Happiness is found, in your passionate kiss
sipping red lips like fine Argentine wine
fireworks explode on starlit nights like this

Happiness is found, in the twinkle of your eyes
the pleasantness of your laughter, it holds me
captive, as me you entangle and tantalize

Happiness is found, whenever you're around
makes my heart sing a new love song,  for my
happiness was lost, but now, with you it's found.

John Hamilton August 23, 2016 at 8:17 AM Thanks Andrea surprising to me, the reaction on this one, I thought other writes lately were so much better, but I'm not getting such good feedback on them, guess you never know what resonates with others. Appreciate your visit and comment!

Lynn Marie August 22, 2016 at 2:50 AM This is a beautiful tribute to your wife John. Such heartwarming sentiments expressed with great love and appreciation :-) A very endearing piece, a pleasure to read. blessings to you both :-) lynn p.s. my very first "Terza Rima"(the name sounds like an Italian dream")...a great one to favourite on my learning journey, so fitting to your lovely poem :-) John Hamilton August 22, 2016 at 9:10 AM Thanks Lynn, I'm finding that terza rima, does easily lend itself to love poems, the rhyming scheme flows easily and one stanza leads to the next.This is not a true terza rima as it does not end with a rhyming couplet, check our site for more exact samples of the form.
