Joy.
    We search for it,
under every stone,
     It is Aaron's golden calf,
shaped in desperate hope,
     A ghost we create.
turn your gaze inside.

Stop this outward search,
     You are your own god,
make yourself your church.
     Worship and pray,
inside yourself, nowhere else,
      The key to joy, your ark does lay
look with yourself.
       Thats where it is found.
each of us need to do one thing,
       Just smile.

Tattered shadows lay across True beauty disguised as dross. Sullen forms on the surface lay. Shining gold, Dormant. Reflections of Yeats' pavement grey. But joy cannot, And will not, Be kept at bay. From those who seek. Those children, Lost, Wanderers, The meek. They will not find, For they do not seek. Gold lays beneath the veil, A cascade of dust, Broken fragments, Of a child's forgotten fairytale. Look upwards. And you shall prevail, Life a sinking boat, Which you must bail. Happiness cannot be expected, It is you. Yourself, your gilded thoughts, The part inside that lays, Neglected. Happiness, comes from within, To on the surface be reflected. Reflections will appear, In things far and near. Cast off the sullen cloak, Have. No. Fear. Happiness is not him Or her Or it. Happiness is not some thing Is not a bottle, Nor in a book writ. It lays beneath the grime, and grit, A candle, Waiting patiently, To be lit.

The End.

I've cared, I've dreamt, I've hoped, But from me life must have left. Everyone has their time, Mine is now, I fear That smile the oft lit my face, is gone. My cares, my hopes, my dreams, Are done. The curtains must close. Goodnight, and safe home, to you all.

A Love Poem. Thin strands of gold, With the shine that made Jason so bold , Fine tendrils of oriental lace Which frame her most perfect face. She is a perfect specimen. An icon of the human race. Her smile is so sweet, A face I long to meet. She is beauty personified, Such looks as hers, Stray beyond what the world deserves. For she is a gift, like Jesus' myrrh, Like the hellenic sirens, Her looks capture and allure. Her beauty radiates through the night, Angelic, a reverent sight. A Lighthouses beacon beaming, Guiding through the clouds teeming with that solemn murk, which chokes our joy. To think her potential lacks is false, Like the self doubt she harbours sure. Her features, inwards and out Are strands of a web. Threads beautiful alone, But create nature's art, That will never ebb. The light of joy she brings, Draws me in with awestruck gaze, like the songs the Greek Calypso Relayed. Her looks divine, Matched with a brain so fine, Her mind the work of a Go
