Happiness vs Misery

Listen to poem:
Written: February 29, 2024
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a sprawling sward of auburn swab
A seraphic sight soaked in dew at dawn
dazed distress and dust-laden air
delicacy and despair edge by side
Wanton wallop by whispering wind
A stark skive screaming secrets
Weaving wounds and wellness weepies
Within its ethereal guise,
Beings in exuberance, intangible
Laughed loquaciously and gamboled
lecherous libidinal lust untamed,
Amidst revelry and mirth
Hearts laden with eviscerating anguish.

intricate human soul patterns
Inveigling intimacy to intrude
Garrulous grain, grim and grody,
Gossamer threads of supple stories
Depicting a world effusive and free
Yet burdened by frivolous fatuity
meticulous minds, in daedal deed
Follow a field of founded frustration
A knavish interplay of mighty moods
Within a celestial and sparse seas
Vivid hues and ethereal dreams
Passion flows in every stream
Sad tones in a meandering mode
Kismet panorama suffused 
with chromatic splendor
Serenade of life complex waltz
Amid joy and luck contrast.

This symphony of the human soul
Egos emerge to sprawling sectors
From egregious to sublime
Weaving a tapestry of entwined trips
In despair depths to elation extreme
redemption of the human spirit
In the chaos and the calm
A vibrant vitality as a healing balm
Desolate hearts find solace in dismal tune
Life's serenade continues to croon
Each note unveils the spectrum
A myriad of shades of human trails
In a world of detail, emotions wrestle
Life's tide, a mischievous dance.

I found solace in your gaze
there is no time for eternity
Now allow quaff your darkness
As if it tastes as pure nectar
We spent the staunch, severe struggle
Amid endless and emotional
With each stride, with each sigh
We strive to reach the depths of the sky
amid silence, we seek a beacon of hope
In the pits of sorrow, we gain strength
In the vast scope of human slope
Passion and power fuel persistence
to embrace the bright and esoteric
Let our hearts suffuse with quiddity
So we'll meander and muddle.
We'll reflect on conflicting emotions
On gossamer dust, in auburn meadows
Disconsolate and just people will suffer,
We'll swirl in zephyr seraphic beasts
Relaxing amid nature's chorus rhythm
Amid splendor, a grim truth lurks
Quixotic lust ravages and devours
Clumsy and neat in subtle sapidity.

Whew! You can wear a fellow out. Highs and lows, ups and downs, passion and despair. I'll take one cup of happiness please and tonight I'll skip the plate of misery. Exquisite poetry Sotto

SP, those of us who have life experience (such as yourself) truly understand that good and bad exist together. We only hope that we can avoid the depths of despair and understand that happiness is always tinged.
