Happiness
Relief is a kind. The flood
that takes
only half your house. The
eleventh day of
the eleventh month. The twin
that survived.
Pyrite of greed? I've never
known a heart that
wasn't greedy for feeling good.
Even the noble
man does it all for the same
secret joy.
Possibility? It is akin to the
possibility of
possibility. When I am entirely
fullfilled by
the hope of being entirely
fulfilled.
Happiness can be in trying to
define it;
Depending on my mood, it might
be a
Brazilian's word for forest or
snow.
I told someone once that
happiness
was the
sound of your name. They
insisted happiness
was the sound of your voice
saying mine.
You are not here now. And
happiness?
I find it strange and lovely
like a memory.
But memories do not exist until
the moments are gone.
A smile is never a gift when
you're smiling . . .
it's only when you've seen one
after so long.
My one true love,
if I'd known then what I know
now . . .
Happiness is having things to
take for granted.
If I had only known then what I know now.
