Happiness

Smiles you provoke
Laughs you erupt
Emotions you Influence.
Sad has vanished
Depressed no longer
Frowns forgotten.

Hand to hold
Lips to kiss
Body to touch.

Attached to you
Always in mind
Feeling profound.

Happiness I've found
Hope that it remains
Insanity without.

"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." Albert Camus

The story it tells is quiet

The story it tells is quite clear to me, I guess not everyone has eyes like me, I'll see what i can do you make it more understandable.

BUT....

I do agree with D.D. I think the write would benefit more if the last line in the stanza transitioned to the next. It would make it flow more, but I do hear your voice in the poem. Your voice is defiantly your trademark. Something as simple as that you find in a lot of writers. I think if I was put to the task of figuring out which poem was yours out of like ten or twenty. I would be able to pick yours without me having to think twice about it. Keep going, Aireal Steed
