Happiness! Who Is He? Poem by Goodmen Lukhanyo NONKELELA

*HAPPINESS, who is he? *

Sadness, lately became my friend
Happiness, lately became my foe
Sadness, I know him
Happiness, who is he?

My eyes seeing blurry glimpses
My throat echoing scary sounds
My ears hearing inaudible commotions
My taste buds tasting bitter moment
My skin feeling itchy touches

That's all because Happiness has faded away
I wish I had danced to his tunes
I wish I had spoken his language
I wish, I wish, Happiness...
