Happiness is only when you want nothing

‘While trudging on the path he chose in life
He worked a lot for the money he earned
But one day God graced his doors
And he lesson of happiness he learned.’

‘I am impressed by your work my child,
Every pleasure of life you own
Although you have a Merc in the driveway
The smile you had is now gone!’

‘But I am happy, who says I am not
I enjoy the club, I enjoy a lot.’

‘Now dear, this is the happiness test –

Are you happy with all you have?
The immediate answer was big YES.
God asked again – do you want more?
The answer now was a BIGGER yes.’

‘Things that make you happy are only your desires
The more it grows, the more it pains
Happiness is only when you want nothing
And let the pain go in drain.’

My Best Friend Just Passed Away

Vote This Post DownVote This Post Up +26

When I heard the news I fell to my knees
My best friend Just passed away
why did he have to go?
Can I turn back the clock and wish it never happened?
Or do i have to suffer the pain?
Can i wish to see him one more time?
Or just remember the good times we had?

My love for you

When your here I’m breathless.
but when your gone I’m restless.
When you speak,
every word lifts me from my feet.
I want to hug you,kiss you to hold you close.
but i don’t have the courage to even almost.
I cant sing, i cant dance but i can love.
and i love you, you are my dove, my angle, my every thought.

What we call life

Vote This Post DownVote This Post Up +1

It’s a funny thing,
What we call life,
It gives us trouble,
It causes strife.

It makes us laugh,
It makes us cry,
Yet all we do,
Is stress and try.

To make it through,
Surpass Our frowns,
To make it past,
Life is ups and downs.

We don’t have a choice,
To stay or to go,
Were here for a while,
Is all that we know.

So however hard,
When there is no fun,
Sit back and remember,
We only get one.

Puzzle

Vote This Post DownVote This Post Up 0

I look back on what I want to see
Hoping to find the missing piece
The puzzle is almost together
But there is still some missing
Slowly coming together
Piece by piece
Soon it will be whole
But when will that be?
I guess only time will tell
I want to find those pieces that are missing
I want to search for them
But I am being held back
Afraid I wont find them
Searching everyday
Hoping every night
That somehow
They will come to me
Until eventually
This puzzle is finally whole

Comfort is not found its given

Vote This Post DownVote This Post Up 0

Each day that passes,
each day that is new,
a comfort i looked for,
it never came true.

I lived my life
for what i thought right
alone in the day time,
alone through the night.

Ignoring the happiness that others shared,
I wanted true comfort, with love and with care,
I wanted to find true love
but love was not found.

You came into my life,
no planning
not seen,
A warm sense of loving,
where had you now been.

I looked and searched but you was always there,
ignoring the truth it was so hard to bare,
time had taken over, and we became good friends.

Shared all our feelings,
a hug that felt right,
we became lovers
on that quite night.

A comfort i had looked for, was right by my side
my eyes now remain open, bright and alive,
Your love and your comfort make me survive.

Old man has gone

Vote This Post DownVote This Post Up +1

Old man lies in bed
thinking about the past

Old man sits in bed
wondering where it all went wrong

Old man looks outside
watching the world go by

Old man cries himself to sleep
because he is all alone

Old man lifts his cup
struggling to take a sip

Old man drops his cup
Old man has gone
