Happiness Taunt



Happiness Taunt

That time of happy when life has turned
But you’re the fool because ‘twas a momentary burn
Bright and strong and you thought at long last
Wednesday’s child had become Friday’s caste

Even then you hoped but knew you weren’t chosen
For the barrier was felt as the kiss was frozen
You’re naïve but innocent in Lady Justice’ eyes
She sees nothing but understands cries

You feel outside and saddened pain is in your sigh
You belonged, not quite, but for a while you were high
Heady to be part of what you always see
Raised your levels until you were happy in a warm sea

And then the promises of sunshine during dusk and night
So ridiculous upon reflection, but you believed in light
Alas, your thirst and hunger had been so extreme

That Aphrodite could not resist a happiness taunt obscene
