JOY A laugh; big, booming belly deep, resonate baritone its the sound of life. Sharp, tickle laugh perhaps more a shriek breathless, she taunts. Giving of self light for light win to win. Joy misplaced dark in dark lost, oh so lost. Reality is layered like acid yesterdays mirth very fleeting. Rely on memories to prove the humor fiercely remembered. Outstretched hands demanding recognition can not say the words. Lips move silently from safe distance silently screaming. Asking if madness same silly question answer known. Asking anyway seeking confirmation im ok, youre ok! What i would pay for a simple,ordinary moment of happiness. A simple deep, belly laugh escaping with glee, mixed with joy! To be released from this silent prison of self, wrapped so tight and secure... released; nay fully expelled, involuntarily just for the pure pleasure of it all. the artist once upon... known as "bleeding" [This message has been edited by Tramp Poet (edited 04-10-2001).] |

Yes a life without a good laugh now and then is greatly diminished. Laughter is also a key to good health. Wish I knew a good joke. Joyce |

You had me going....i thought this was a happy poem, i could hear the laughter of that one person who's laughter lights the world....and then you grew equally sad...and i could feel the silence and pressure. I liked this alot. One's not half two it's two are halves of one EE Cummings |

You can make something like laughter that we take for granted into something so powerful. Great work. Ronil (Inspiration for my poems is all around me for my muse is my reality.) |
