You Asked For Happy Poem by Lauren Miller

Empty pages of which to pour upon everything that I adore
So much more than ever thought
Locked away in a box, six feet under the mistletoe
Now it's time for me to show
My wordless creation
Of sunny skies and gentle breezes
Of sweet surprises and endless meanings
Through simple words of rhyme
Cheap sunglasses and a dress worthy of fairy tales
Spinning in circles, all falls down, in petals or arsenic
But that's just fine
The world is much prettier at a drunken tilt
The beauty is in the dirt underneath her fingernails
And the grass stains upon her knees

Simple kisses left in fragments upon my one-track mind
Like stained glass windows
Through each a different light does shine
Some like roses, some like poison, green apples and bloody noses
A simple caress. repeated several times
Has this heart in an unwindable bind
But that's just fine
The heart does see better broken
Nothing last forever
But dried roses stay and linger
No need for a ring upon this finger, because that's not permanent

Happy to have glanced a life quite subtle
Perfect nights with perfect pleasentries
How lucky to have recieved
Such bountiful gifts as hearts
They stay forever in glass jars
Upon the shelves
Which line my walls
Midnight calls, and midnight rain showers
Alll have a certain sense of power
Memories that will forever trigger
Simple remindings of things that have been much simpler

Endings to come, but without them
Beginnings would be nothing at all
We may fall short
But short of what?
Expectations are only the limits which we set
But those are not permanent
Thanking you is the most beautiful thing I can do
Pavement at midnight underneath my back
Water on goosebumped skin
Graze upon graze of gentle sin
Dance with me upon empty streets
With lusty heartbeats
Simplicity

Green grass stained my shins
But the otherside was no greener
Sunsets, sunrises, window talks, and loss of crying
Thankyou, it's the most beautiful thing we could do
