When happiness is here
I hold it very dear
Heart as light as a feather
Enjoying the sunny weather
Warming my cool skin
Feeling whole once again

When lonliness comes calling
Spring rain begins slowly falling
Clouds fill up the sky
I sit here wondering why
Emptiness echoes through my being
As our dreams begin fleeing

When sadness makes me frown
I can't help but feel down
Life weighs on my shoulders
Like huge granite boulders
I must move them away
To see the sun's rays

When contentment enters in
My face wears a soft grin
I feel safe and sound
Now that I have found
A place where I can dwell
Outside of my hidden shell

When love comes knocking
I hear the door unlocking
The walls begin to shake
Like in an earthquake
Passion is set ablaze
I'm left here in a daze

Ecstacy follows close behind
Totally blowing my mind
Nothing will ever compare
To the heights reached there
Two souls tenderly unite
In the middle of the night

There are many more emotions
Each has its own unique potion
That causes them to break through
Wherever Cupid's arrow flew
So sit back and enjoy
As new ones are deployed

Emotions woderfully expressed.

Amazing the emotions you covered and made us feel.

Well done, the rhyme flows well, also.
