happiness awaits you, the paradox

my 'happiness' is fleeing away

but happiness awaits me

i wonder how! 

when surrounded by the fragrance of your presence

blessed is how i feel.

when i see your smile everytime i touch the eyelids

a smile-back is what i respond with 

but when the eyelids part

misty-eyes is what i find.

i try to cover up the mist 

with the smiles you bestowed upon me

but then my heart becomes misty 

the heart starts pumping tears.

.........................................................................................

........................................................................................

well if happiness awaits me

i shall wait for my 'happiness' as long as it takes. 

let it blossom

you are like the gentle breeze 

that Seduces the leaves 

caressing my imperfections

soothing the agOnies 

carrying me to the abodes of angels 

I would like to stay there forever

your smiles are eNgraved in my memories 

your memories are chiseled in my heart

for the heArt yearns to keep the wounds afresh 

Strange it is to know 

that fallen you are into the abyss of love 

that wounded you are though

you fondly nurture the pain

hoping that the wounds would blossoM

 

let it blossom 

let its magnificent fragrance pervade all the impediments.

let it blossom. 

seize

happiness is all around

look to your left, -happiness 

look within, -happiness

look with your eyes closed, -happiness

look even without looking, -happiness

i paint the canvas of my life with sorrow 

the canvas was pure, unadulterated

why did i draw only 'sorrow' ?

when drawing 'happiness' was also an option ?

perhaps because out of mud blooms lotus 

at times i feel

----empty endurance leading me to the land of nowhere

but then who cares? when the pain i endure is a pleasure in disguise 

happiness is ephemeral, sorrow is forever 

happiness is subdued by the thirst for more happiness

while sorrow endures and pervades our life 

hey everyone of you!

seize the happiness, freeze the time 

live happily forever, 

so much happily that even 'forever' be just a blink of an eye.

seize infinite happiness,
live infinitely happy,
in the infinite space of joy ,
until the infinity of time. 

Amen!
