Forgotten I had
About tender happiness
The happiness of every precious moment
Of a smile passed
Of love shown
Of a milestone won!
This happiness that keeps coming in waves
Swaying me with it
Cascading through my sinews
Like the colours of summer
And the ecstasy of drizzles
And my broken heart
This bruised heart
Recovered
While I collected the shattered pieces of my soul
These unmatching shards I gathered
One by one
Second by second
Day by day
Year by year
This happiness
That came like the gentle autumn winds
And the pleasant cold
Continues to baffle me
And this happiness blooms
Like the spring buds
That open to life and love
This blazing happiness
Like the summer sun
Scorched my inner coldness
And opened me to warmth again!
This pouring happiness
Like the monsoon downpour
Washes away my tears
And my residual sadness
Oh this happiness!
You eluded me for so long!
I tried finding you
In the nooks & crannies
Of my broken heart
And my defeated soul
And I finally found you
Or is it you that finally found me?
From the clutches of self-doubt
And self-pity
