Meant to Be Sometimes you can taste happiness Like a sweetness on the tip of your tongue, Not unlike a subtle understanding that comforts fear Or a stare shared between distant stars--- A trust that slumbers underneath Venetian skies Smiling to sips of burgundy and passion defined… Sometimes you can listen to unhappiness, The whispering of cautious heartbeats Kissing the closing eyelids of the sunset While the heart slayer weeps into solitude’s river; But above the confusion of what is perceived, Soars the bluest and truest of doves Grasping tightly onto the dreams of dreamers, (Like a sinner holding onto old ways) Burdens that becomes heavy, Slipping into the nights unending vulnerabilities… Sometimes you have to look for happiness; Facing and embracing the reflection, Of true happiness, the first time it is felt; Listen to the words of one that knows, One who has been where you reside--- The search is worth the find, The tears are worth the pain, The hope is worth the next sunny day, Chance is worth the many heartbreaks Because true love is worth its keep.

"Sometimes you can taste happiness Like a sweetness on the tip of your tongue, Not unlike a subtle understanding that comforts fear Or a stare shared between distant stars--- A trust that slumbers underneath Venetian skies Smiling to sips of burgundy and passion defined…" Loved that first stanza very much!! "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
