happy poetry by myself and others
i know some of these poems might seem sort of sad, but they are far from suicidal or as mrs. bowman (my eighth grade english teacher, and one of my biggest inspirations) red flags... they all have a "happy" sense to them.. so i hope you enjoy them
waking up early
on a summers eve
smelling the brisk air
as it blows by your face
all you can imagine
is more perfect days like this
gazing off
into the sunset
next to your only love
wishing the day would never end
breathing in the sweet aroma of apple blossoms
in the orchard behind you
will this day never end
you plead
there is no response
you allready know the answer
nothing this good will ever last long.

i am sitting in a world of darkness
brought to life over night
my life was as horrible as i could have imagined
and all of a sudden
everything is perfect
i don't know what happened
or why it did
but i am enjoying it
i hope life never goes back to the way it was
i hope i stay in this mode of joyfullness
where nothing can go wrong
and nothing ever will
i love my life right now
that is a feeling i don't feel very often
and i am enjoying every moment of it
cherishing it in case it never comes again
why it came at this point in my life i do not know
but if it never comes again i will be sad
this is the sensation i have been waiting for all my life
and i never want it to end!

here is a poem written in my own penmanship.. i scanned it
did you ever look in the mirror
and where you ever surprised by who looked back?
that pale sihlouette of a person
with rosey cheeks
she looks too innocent to be me
and yet somehow i know she is
who am i
i can not be this face looking back
that is not me
i am no one
and yet i am that face looking into my soul
i dont understand

poem for the driven soul
leading long lives with no where to go
look up from your pain, into the stars
see what magic they behold
another world, so far off
so close
feels like you could touch them
feel their embrace
let them take you in and comfort you
they are your desire, and every wish
let them lead you home

best friends from beginning to end
i knew you would be here some day
i knew we would be
best friends forever more
on days when sad we comfort
on days when glad the hiccups come
laughing all hours of the night
drinking that wine to soothe your veins...
sleeping in late
and camping
what adventure
never looking back
remember the good times
double roll ripple tecture will always hold a double meaning with you
long times away mean stress and confusion
but together we will be soon
and more memories will grow

Its something unexplainable when a being loves you
Its something magical when you love them back
Its like the magic you see on tv, its unanswerable

never alone
but never apart
never knowing who is going
never too close
but never too far
stand by me
and stay in par
i know you
and you know me
but if that were more
i would scream
stay not to close
but don't travel too far
i need you
and that is all
