Happiness Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

I have lost my happiness.
I was holding it in my palm,
Close to my chest
Close to my heart
The safest place I could imagine,
But it quietly slipped,
Through my fingers and vanished;
It has left no trace.
What am I to do now?
I do not want to be unhappy,
And burden my life.
Already I miss the pleasant feel,
The naughty tingle
That filled my body head to toe.
I will soon forget to smile,
I may not again hear the sound of my laughter,
I could even lose the sparkle that lights up my eyes;
The colours of joy, I do not see.
I have scratched the earth and probed my mind,
There is no sign of my happiness,
I cannot mourn its loss,
I had promised never to shed my tears.
O My happiness, do not forsake me
Please come back to me.
