The Joy Of Laughter Poem by Mark Heathcote

The joy of laughter
In a lingering smile
Soars in the sunshine skies
Creates a giggle
That humours the darkest
Corners of my lonesome mind.

Like a squid my heart
It climbs to the moons light
Never appreciated before
My soul lifts from a night
I never realised. You abhor
When; we departed for the sun.

Joyous feelings taking over me
Now and my funny bone
Is ready to commit a new crime
That'll leave me all over
With a lingering, shimmering, smile
A little wrangled-out - with you.
