My happiness
is out of shape
I need to strengthen it
in small little steps,
I cannot give into it
Or I just may escape
To that far away land
Known as (boo, hiss, hiss) Bliss
Now this is a word,
I have read many times
It seems pretty easy
To find words that rhythm
Or, as some may say, rhyme
Bliss…
it appears almost daily
In poems, songs, and novels
oh yea, we mustn’t forget
it’s sometimes even mentioned
in passion crimes
Bliss is a word
I would normally
glance right over
As if it were common
Just another word for happiness
Or so says the thesaurus
But I have come to learn
Bliss is not just a word
It is an emotion,
a fabulous feeling
Bliss is now a meaning to me
It is what I feel,
As close as to what
Hearing angels sing
Would be
It is your heart pumping faster
Your breath coming shallow
Your mind sees nothing
But what brought you
This gift
Rose colored glasses
Pale in comparison to Bliss
It is a total lack of guilt
this enchantment
is well earned
Bliss is what I paid for
With all those broken dreams
My currency was
countless shed tears
more disappointments
and all my bled fears
but for this awesome time
I have Bliss in my life
I would gladly pay anything
Even more Strife,
(Oh no, don’t even get me started on that one!)
Bliss is to me...
As close to Heaven
as this Fallen Angel
ever will be

Tobi, I like this. It went from
sad to bliss, and that's good.
Happy Holidays

*perk*  Did someone say, "Fallen Angel"?  I like those the best!

BTW - This is a very nice poem, with some really neat similes and some deep thoughts.
