#joy poems on Hello Poetry

Hebert Logerie 2d

Don't be amazed by what I am about to say.
We all dream, like we all breathe. The day,
That we don't do so, is when we are no longer.
We're gone with the wind, done, and we are
Sunk, dumped in the quick sand; we died in the war.
We're nobody, deceased; and there's no future.
No more dreaming...

We all dream; nobody really knows where dreams
Come from. Dreams just happened, fled like steams,
Appeared and disappeared like the errant clouds.
We dream all night long, sometimes we remember
Them; most of the time we forget them. The crowds
Can't forget the star; like the chorus, and the master.

We all dream night and day, while standing or sitting.
We all dream while resting, but don't remember a thing.
We all dream of a better life, and a better spouse.
We all dream of a nicer car, and a bigger house.
We all dream of better days and a better tomorrow.
We dream of better health, more fun, joy, and less sorrow
And better everything and much better living.

655321

a number like a bruise on the underside of memory
a barcode tattooed on the back of a dream
And the echo of a name you forgot to forget

six legs of an insect crawling across the ceiling of thought
five fingers clenched around a stolen cigarette
five again, because repetition is punishment, is ritual, is comfort
three seconds before the door slams shut
two eyes watching from behind the mirror
one is the self, fractured, refracted, renamed

655321
not a number, but a sentence
not a sentence, but a silence
not a silence, but a scream with the volume turned down

the world turns in loops
milk drips from a broken glass
a Beethoven symphony plays in reverse
and somewhere, someone is laughing
but it’s not joy, it’s not mockery
it’s the sound of gears grinding in the machinery of remorse

I am not I
I am 655321
I am the sum of my subtraction
the residue of my rebellion
the ghost in the system
the system in the ghost

and still
the number pulses
like a heartbeat
like a countdown
like a name I never chose
but always answered to.

kortu valentine Sep 20

told you so.

you said
it would work out.

it didn’t.

i hate
that i knew
i’d be right.

a follow-up to an event that hasn't happened yet.

toxic positivity.

you mock my pain,
cheering me on.
like —
for real.

i’m annoyed.
a bit hurt.
disappointed,
because my first attempt
didn’t work.

you tell me it’s okay —
when it’s not.
you say it’s an easy fix —
i know it is.
yet i sit in the grump,
because i wasted time,
energy,
looking forward to this.

if it’s a let-down,
you say, ten percent of it is.
i say, ninety —
so you argue,
i’m too pessimistic.

bite me.

this one is about those annoyingly positive people.

Happiness

how cruel of you to exhaust moments of delight into staying here
forever.
It can't.
Joy,
delight,
excitement,
laughs,
smiles,
sunshine,
happiness are all fleeting emotions. They come by as a swift of wind to kiss you so impressing that you may be tempted.
You may be tempted to make it last.
happiness is a part of nature that we solmely feel,
you cannot make it last.

More than Words

Love is more than words,
there may be tears
Love isn’t done in one night,
you work on it for years
It’s the little things you do,
to let them know you care
The hugs and the kisses,
locking eyes with loving stares
It may bring hard times,
when you only have each other
There will be the joy,
of knowing there is no other
Love is a flame,
you can’t let it go cold
You keep the spark alive,
so it never gets old
Love is those memories,
the kisses and the nights
It is two lives brought together,
bells, whistles, and flashing lights
Love is everything,
the journey may bring
The everlasting promise,
beyond the diamond ring
Make love in your heart,
for the one you love every day
Take the time, live your dreams,
so that love will always stay

Haiku #8

When lovers marry,
their joy becomes my sorrow,
I curse you, silent.

We could also marry, we could have joys too, I would not curse you...

satan

i return to write with a brand new pen,
the paper’s different, yet i begin again.
this time it’s someone who makes me smile,
not the chaos i held for a lonely while.

your room was messy, his is neat,
you made me cry, he makes joy complete.
he respects me, you pushed and yelled,
he loves his family, your heart rebelled.

he shuns the fight, you loved the gun,
he’s my angel, you were no one.
and yet for a year i held your flame,
blind to god, playing your game.

but now i’m free, my heart’s in light,
i left the darkness, embraced the right.
