Happiness

My life is

Not about me

It is however

About others and

Their happiness and

It is right

There and right

Then that I

Find my own

Be happy please

So that I

May be also

MerryChristmas (to You & to Bean)

We’d promised to

Be together on

Christmas Eve which

You then broke

I said cold

Icy hurtful things

Because I was

Alone and heartbroken

Turning away I

Let you go

But then like

The miracle of

Love that Christmas

Is you kept

Your promise by

Writing me we

Are great friends

To each other

You said and

Won’t end this

Way in silence

You see that

A star appeared

Just as legend

Said that hope

Does exist here

Between us reminding

Me that that

Is the true

Meaning of Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone

WhisperMouse

And finally in

Silence after months

Of noisy explosions

Come mouse whispers

Whistles in the

Dark that only

The open can

Hear love is

A cacophony of

Sound and only

When it’s over

Can you even

Imagine hearing something

As delicate as

A voice in the

Dark you are

So handsome and

With me now

You’re right mouse

I am here

Here with you

One

Sometimes all it

Takes is one

One touch one

Hello one smile

And one kiss

That one that

Very first one

Of anything is

The hardest to

Achieve but when

That one topples

The rest cascade

Like dominoes be

Generous with one

And soon many

More ones follow

Hope

At the end

Of anything it’s

Often horribly dark

Cold and dank

It’s because we

Keep looking at

What once was

Emptiness is empty

Missing those things

That once filled

Then we turn

And see something

Else there out

There on the

Horizon and life

Not us moves

Us forward that

Thing out there

That thing that

We move slowly

Towards is hope

Hope of tomorrow

Of something better

Of a future

Absent of emptiness
