Perhaps not long enough....

  • Like a decade since I smiled..
  • Smiled without a pause..;
  • Joy sleeps before my eyes...
  • Lows keep awake, yes without a cause

  • Life brings its gifts, dark with emptiness
  • The bash meant nothing, in the end I just clean the mess
  • Jokes and jibes galore with humour pretty rough
  • Lows remain high, yes without a trough

  • I do what I can to iron things out
  • Perhaps fate I fight, fate which has more clout
  • I ask forgiveness, in life I ask another chance
  • A chance I deserve, happiness give a glance?

  • I withdrew from one battle, the other I wish to win
  • Never shied from a fight and hope makes me tough
  • But it's been a long time waiting
  • Perhaps not long enough...

Words draw the map with the river of emotions. A well written poem with deceptive simplicity. Will the next one be on happiness?
