I am watching television
Suddenly something’s different
Tingles, like butterflies on my palm
His fingers ticking them,
with movements calm
I look at him, see his lovely smiles
This is happiness, will go for miles
Then suddenly I wonder
Deeply ponder
My poetry is always grumpy
Trying to overcome the sulky
Coz when I am happy
I am just super thrilled
Like the meadows
Unfolding the rainbows
Like beauty to the breath
And joy to the sight
Filled with words
Don’t know which one to write
Its not that I am sad
I just write when I am mad
Coz when I am happy
I am living each moment
Preserving the moods,
The Happyness quotient

My friend asked me why do I write sad poetry more often than I write happy ones – hopefully he knows now – this is why!
Would also want to mention that the words ‘Happyness’ comes from the movie ‘Pursuit of Happyness’. Simply loved the idea behind NOT spelling it right deliberately (:
