Simplicity

I’m running home, I think
I see the box!
“Don’t rush to open,
that could break a piece…
Now, time to see
the marvels it unlocks.”
A moment to
appreciate in peace.

It’s the little things
that make me happy:

Like when experiencing
perfumes new,
As if I’m the
exotic traveler
Collecting treasures
to present to you
From boxes in
a mail delivery.

Sunsets and Tuberose

So, lately, I’ve been writing
how I feel.
It’s healthy to.be
honest with oneself.
But every time the night
starts to unpeel
The negativity-
I’m overwhelmed!

But there’s honest
happiness,
if you look.

To think good thoughts-
a lot like lifting weights.
And, sometimes,
every thought is one more rep
A weakened mind is buried – dissipates
The metal gym is calling –
one more rep!

What makes you
happy right now?
