Poem -
Silent Happiness
Smile if you're happy
love at last has found you
good fortune is a friend
bust out laughing
but refrain from speaking,
abide in silent happiness
the world is full of jealousy
the devil is a roaring lion
can't you see?
But,when you feel down and troubled
and all seems lost
smile just the same
but tell the world you're troubled
tell of your struggles
and if they ask you
why you're still smiling
with so much pain
tell them that you're practicing

hi, Premier Poet of Cosmo, thanks for comment sis, Cherie, interesting question you ask, let me see, 'silent happiness' to me means, be careful what you share, or don't always assume the world wants you happy; inner joy can be silent...now there is a story behind this one and it's all about jealousy; can't share details but was asked for advice and the silent happiness idea sprung to life....I know what you mean though sis, it is hard to be silent when you're happy....have a great day, love your comment, thanks again.
Hey Richard, interesting comment you render, yes I agree, all emotion is inner, and this is what I believe, more or less, lol.... the write is basically a point of view, advice to a friend specific to a particular situation, I'm really trying not to write greeting cards, just saying....glad you found it interesting, cheers
Hey, Sparrowsong, I reckon you agree with the 'message' wasn't trying to send one, to be honest, basically, just a thought, thanks for making a comment, cheers my friend
Hey Christopher, I sense a bit of sarcasm here, lol I like it. You have a unique style and it is very enjoyable
lol, Amber, you are good, good pick up, the poem is based on me giving relationship advice to someone, and even the idea of that kinda sorta makes me laugh....to be honest the first thought that came to me when this person asked for advice was; you do something then ask if it a good thing to do? Wow, lol....even Stephen Hawking don't believe anyone can go back in time, so I suspect my advice is not to damn valuable at this point, but experience is a cruel teacher, they say, it watches you screw up, then reminds you the next time, lol....thanks for cool comment, Amber....cheers
Jeremy, thank you so much for saying that, your comment really makes me think, and yes I do believe the world is cynical and I'm not comfortable sharing happiness, for the most part, sometimes I think folks prefer to hear about your misery more than your joy, maybe it makes them more comfortable, who knows, maybe I'm way too cynical; perhaps this is true as well, lol...and yes my friend, I think your fear is well founded, I share that thought as well, always great to hear from you....cheers
Great write dear poetry friend Christopher, thanks for sharing, my applause
Regards
Willy
Poet Willy, I like your new handle, thank you, maestro, for saying that, I'm still trying to learn this poetry thing so I appreciate the encouragement....have good day, my friend
Dear Brother Poet Christopher,
I recently re-posted one of your tribute poem based on me, the same was deleted by someone or somehow, I liked that poem. hence I re-posted recently to remember you, poetry is still an illusion for me, but confused among others,
Love & regards to you
Willy
Wow that is just so amazing. I enjoyed reading this lovely writing. Its refreshing, simply written but powerful. Thank you buddy for sharing. Love it. :-)
thanks, Bridgette, I owe you one, it really amazes me, how ideas for a poem can just appear from out the blue sometimes, or from conversations, I suppose 'listening' is the key, just sitting and watching the ocean move may not always bring 'fresh' words, lol....have a great day
My heart smiled during this read
which felt educational and wise;
this poem has a message and
was enjoyable. Thanx from Jai :(
sorry I missed your comment pal Jai, thanks man....your stuff is always very entertaining and terrific, Chris has a long way to go, so very glad you enjoyed, cheers JM
Christopher, brilliant write man and kind of reminds me of a poem I wrote about embracing the negatives with positives. I believe happiness can be lived in silence among wise men and women but some it just seems t ok escape like steam and has to be freed, for one instance love which is made in our society to be ahared to the world. Love how your always pushing the boundaries man and evolving, that is the way of great writers. Peace.
Very nice! ...Love the ending!
thanks for the comment, Dan, sorry I missed it, I enjoy feedback appreciate very much, cheers
