Happiness - yeah, I'd be interested. I imagine that if there was more of it, there would be less..unhappiness. Unhappiness teaches you stuff, but fuck that.
Love and happiness, yeah. Next life maybe. lol.

Drawing Strength From a Star



in a world so dark and full of pain
and every reason to be insane
within the darkness shining bright
without a reason to see the light

seeing the world as a better place
spreading love with a warm embrace
while fighting demons and kicking ghost
a vision that is lost on most

a simple thought for all to think
a simple vision for us to see
an inspiration for all of whom
fight the dark, the dread and doom

when the universe turns and the power shifts
and this life has taken all there is
with a hug to give and an ear to lend
a special person i call my friend

a connection felt into the soul
a forgotten place I used to know
where my smile has gone to try to hide
you look in me and see my light

you make me see that I can be
full of love AND misery
that its ok to feel the pain
and sometimes fine to be insane

my gratitude I send to you
for being here to help me through
knowing you don't want the praise
it's offered to you all the same

HAPPY-GO-LUCKY !!!

The blissful moments of my life
have been crawling since I was nine
I gained the senses for this strange world
Made an attempt to be visible and heard.

Having made the friends with same fears
The school,the teachers, the crying tears
Struggling in the rat race to score well
And running with thrill on the Closing bell.

Raised a little, I started loving my life
Music in my ears and someone special inside
Feeling the chills on the glimpse of "him"
Aah ! It surely got to be some love like thing.

Soon moving out of the fantasy star
All dreams were broken before the start
Learnt to fake the emotions all the while
Only family was there to make me smile.

The small memories are great to cherish
Life is a beautiful song to relish
Keeping the best curve on my face
I promise to be happy no matter what phase.

clean, so clean, so pinbright new
stick the pin through the tension point in the palm of your hand and feel nothing.
but does the stomach flip
like a little beastie is beating himself off in there?
i can stand up fine and my head is like a new flipchart
someone in my head wastes paper
we're of the same mind then we both want to watch humanity choke on its polluted piss

people say what goes up must come down and every silver lining has a cloud
my sky's clear, clear
i guess there has to be a comedown sometime but not now
because the comedown is death

"It's Not Complex"
http://www.writerscafe.org/uploads/stories/f41882ad3ccafa2712e938213bf641a5.jpg

Happiness is
a royal flush
of cosmic energy
that trickles from
your head down
to your toes
and back again,
simplicity.
It’s
not complex,
a complete
orgasm
of the senses,
the sunshine on your face
on the chilliest morning,
pink-lemonade in the inferno,
the sweetest kiss
you’ll ever get from
another humanoid
who really means it.
