Word Poetry Challenge #14 : Happiness

Image source: Max Pixel

This fire within me
This warmth that I feel
This life that surges through me
Is it because he's here?
Is it because he smiles at me?
Is it because he loves me?

I'm swirling in a pool of exotic emotions
I'm quivering to the touch of his love
The evening enchants me with its charm
The cold drives me into his hands

I stare at the skies as they tell a tale
Of how my long night has turned to day
There is a radiance in my eyes
There is a bounce in my smile

I've come from a place far away
I've groped in the lonely dark corridor of pain
My feet has bled, pierced by pieces of my broken heart

Here I am, cosy in Love's embrace
I see it clearly
I see it now
Happiness is a choice
I chose to be happy and now I can be loved
