My Definition Of Happiness

by Bleu   Feb 28, 2018


Sun shine hits the window pane,
Despite the night before, I have everything to gain.
I woke up, after a night in tears.
I am alive; that use to be something I feared.

Now here I am, a new and improved me.
Happier than I ever remember being.

Rain falls, making a sweet melody on an old tin roof.
It can bring anyone happiness, Just listen to the proof.
Sweet dew covered the blades of grass.
Must be nice to never think of the past.

Now there I go, moving on without the worries of the world.
I have grown into a woman, no longer a girl.

The darkness no longer fears me,
I no longer feel alone.
The massiveness of the sea
Brings me comfort in the unknown.

    A very warm welcome to the site, and wow. The last stanza was amazing. Very Lovecraftian. I'm a huge fan of rhyming poetry and this does not disappoint.

      Is your old page still up?? I know after being inactive for 3 months, it says it will delete your page, but mine is still up and I can see all of the poems even after 3 years

    This feels like a real journey of self-discovery Hales, and I totally get the 'massiveness of the sea' thing ... it helps put things into perspective. Great imagery an enjoyable read indeed! :-) x
