Pursuit of Happiness

I have walked a long distance In pursuit of happiness I guess I encountered resistance, while driving down memory lane Until I ran out of gas I have blindfolds on my eyes To keep you out of my sight But I still see you in my dreams at night Perhaps you are where my future lies I wish to sign a truce with my feelings To stop feeling this other pretty girls And start filling you with love spells Because you are my one true love But you don’t think I am man enough You captured my mind and locked it inside your world That is why I mind less about how the truth will unfold You paint my happiness vividly like a renowned painter My lips are longing for yours, more than a drunkard is longing for alcohol My dear pot of gold Wealth is when I have you by my side Without you all my dreams are sold out The hairs on my skin stand happily Just from thinking about you How I miss your view, from a certain angle How I miss the simultaneous beats of our hearts With chests tightly pressed against each other, Syncing into every movement we make Maybe it’s because I’m in pursuit of happiness

Happiness is with the one you love! Most of us search for this all our lives, and unfortunately, some of us never really find such bliss! Bravo to those who do! Beautiful piece from your poetic pen, my friend! Welcome to PoetrySoup and please keep on writing! Best wishes. Pandita
