Happiness Poems

Inside a Cloud

Inside a cloud the lining shines with hope,
on paths that slip and slope, we grip on tight
to rope made from our inner strength to cope,
we always find a way in life to fight.

The road to happiness is felt within,
as soon as we begin to realize,
the win exists inside a smile or grin,
as letting go is

Best is to be

Just do your best,
Ignore the rest,
Aim high,
You shall fly,
Be best pals,
Dudes and gals,
Don't roll eyes,
Be a surprise,
You best is to be,
Aim high, you shall see!

JUST RIGHT, In Two Parts

College Before Family, 1982
My pen just writes
My dog just bites
My wife just fights
And I just might
Decide everything’s alright.

Empty Nest, 2025
Life didn’t quite yield that plight
Because the pen barely writes
The pups play fight
The kids had height
Were polite
And actually bright
The wife’s a delight
Most days and nights
My life might be trite,
And I’m good with this slight rewrite.

LOVE FORGIVE

Love forgive and let go of all the negative feelings, they weight on life and give us no rest. 
Love forgive, and feel good, do not carry heavy thoughts in your heart for they are no good.  
Love forgive, let it go, do not let it keep you in a bad mood. 
Love forgive

What My Ego Said To Me

“You must stop this ruling of me,
Please let me go, I must be free.”
Smiling, Ego said mockingly,
“It’s you who chooses what you’ll be.

It’s quite simple for all to see,
All my power doth come from thee.
In myself, that’s where I invest.
I have no say in your request.

You’re free to go, to rule your own ship,
Give to

Everything

Powdered doughnuts, screaming children,
Noisy autos and a silly red hen,
All the things everywhere, that, this, and then.
A week or a day, a minute, and an hour,
Everything all the time, candy that is sour.

The moon and stars and universe too,
All things everywhere, everything for you.
Big trucks, toy cars, tall buildings in our view,
Twilight, baseball, even morning

Animated Joy Under Philtre Fountain

Flows fountain of delight,
enwraps the parched spirit.
Drink glee philtre sated,
leap dazed with fulfillment.
        Charm dreams show
        slow motion
        scenes you know
        owe your joy
   

Two Shall Become One

Your soul has shown me through your heart,
A loving, caring and kind part.
And from your mind it says to me,
Intellect and wisdom reside in thee.

And to your soul I do relate,
Experiencing oneness with my soulmate.
For no other presence has more blessed my life,
As having you as my eternal wife.

Two shall be one throughout eternity,
Sharing their

Overcame to feel

Have you ever felt bombarded by yourself, like you can’t help but keep inundating your brains cell with messages that no longer serve you well. Sadly it’s this path you in the past paved, whose entrance and exit still lead to and from hell. It's obvious there are parts of you that you have lost

What's in a Star Sign

I'm often asked what sign I am
Leading me to answer best I can
That while I know that signs exist
I try my best to cheerfully desist.

But there again if truth be told
My interest piqued this subject old,
So with new fervor I travailed
The results of which I here detailed.

My secret was I did ensnare
Those I knew well

Once it is far away enough

Only be distal enough from crowded stay 
The fresh and sweet of the air can be tasted
And the chirping of birds be appreciated 
Also, the dancing butterflies be exquisite

Which of the untouched are full of charms 
Such as imagined fairies shown in murals
In the corner of this, being ignored by them
No humans hustle and bustle

Love and Becoming

Nanaya: 
“Self love - bereft of sin, beseeching and riveting in my spirit, jumps over me in the power of expression. Each twirl of my spirits dance radiates an effervescent power directed at my overcoming. What do I overcome? Suffering my youth, my age, my indiscriminate desire to give up. Yet, there is life in

My Maajaan

The desire of a clouded sky is to wash away pain of the earth,
Regardless of it’s elaborate discomfort and darkness full of pain.
A motherly affection desires to root out the sources of pain and smoothen the rough path of life,
Willingly being the ocean that submerges all the agony of an innocent heart.
Just as the tears

The Drowning Darkness

When life goes right
it somehow never fails
that something from the past
tries to return and bite you in the tail.
Try as it may
I stand strong and stay
on the path set before me 
and nothing will get in the way.
I've been steadfast on this journey so far.
There is no way I can fall off the radar.
I've lived

Here’s happiness for me

Garland of fragrant buds in my neck, 
Saffron-mixed sandal paste softly smells,
Upon chest cuddles heart-stealing love,
Heaven’s happiness here as if dwells.
