While lying in the bath
I heard footsteps on my roof
Not the delicate birdy sound
but something with a hoof
My imagination arose and
my thoughts were full of grief
Could it be the devil
or that cunning chimney thief
I looked to my window
as the curtains were ajar
Two eyes appeared so close to me
yet they were so afar
So, I pulled the curtains open
to see a squirrel hanging from my gutter
I smiled and I did wave to him
as a crowd gathered and started to mutter
I tried to explain to the police
of what did occur
The judge shouted guilty
suspended for a year
So, the moral of this story
next time you wallow with a bubble
Don’t jump up and open the curtains
or you’ll surely be in trouble

There are some days
when
you
just
don't
want
to
do
a y h n
n t i g
and you just wanna sit around
and eat food and...
and feel depressed
THEN
you run into your friend
and your friend's like 'we don't do that around here buddy'

Snuggy ****** of a curled up cat by
the fire
Furry faced, smiley headed, svelte
purveyor of the big meow
Purring away like a Geiger counter,
If you seek Nirvana then seek no
more, it's here
The Cat, she knows.

Looking upward at the moon
A smiley face
full of happiness
brimming with confidence
never ever dismal
bringing such delight
with profound smiles
that showed happiness and glee
making life so bright
and worthwhile.

[birds cawing, screeching]
“Mommy dearest I'm bleeding
Through birth I’m feeling”
[trees are leaving]
Grown feet and with large strides
“They leave me here and go elsewhere”
To live, birth, and strive
“Now I’ve got nowhere but the cells in my veins to hide
Where I weep to sleep because pain has sent me
Staggering into a sunset invisible to me”
[not meaning to make it about she,
but conclusions arise that we can’t defeat]
[background chatter stimulates the flight of bees]
[buzzing fills the air, men feel suffocated
and can’t see their free seeping
through their fingers like the sand on the shore
where they’ve left their boats]
[They leave these boats with no mind
even though their fathers planted the trees
who gave their all
to be built into a ship
strong enough to carry the sun]

*No one sees me when I smile
Wider than my eyes can bear
Cooler than the coolest spring
Which you could find within this muggy summer air
Because when I grin
There is no sense of urgency or care
There is only me and my eyes which crease
Like folded paper flying through the humid air
For my smile is this
Not because I wish to hide it
Or even because I overly care
But because my purest form happiness
Is only seen when not prepare
Alive and well in its natural state
Most often outside and always wide
Something you might see across my face
As a representation of what's inside*
(:

Why.
Is is impossible to happen
Or is the world just too cruel
Do warnings slides by
Is my hope far too high
For this damaged world
To rewind
And if we can live the way we were
Be not blind
Terrorism. Drugs. Brutal wars- and lies sweet as honey
****** **** kidnap, robbery, and greedy thrives for money.
Pollution to our precious Earth that was given to us. And evil roaming.
Why.
I must be pure. I don't understand the evil in human hearts and hands splattered with blood.
I've always wanted a place of pure and good. Is it just that hard? To not pick the fruit out of Garden of Eve?
Respect. Obey. I guess we, the humans, were terrible at that.
A one simple command. But we can't obey it.
But it's not our fault. We were built like that.
Still.... I just wish the world was a happy place...
With no war
With no despair
With no cries
With no ******
With no wailing of mother
With no homeless
With no pollution
With no divorce
With no evil...
Hey. Don't judge. It's just my hope for the world.

Were you given a star at school for good work?
a smiley face, very good or well done was a perk
I took all of these smiley faces into my soul
guaranteed for life to sustain my future role
Remember how art caught you out - I made a mess
and yet disaster was suddenly made good - more or less
now, woodwork led me to a great cutting edge
being allowed to take home my work was a privilege
metalwork taught me that flux was softer than butter
the words that arose within me - if only I could utter
mathematics made me figure things out - nothing I would lack
but when the master saw my red socks - he said: 'Get to the back.'
Then there was English - the best language to swear in,
such great enlightenment and depth will never come again

A day with you is saying good morning to the sun with cups of coffee. Long walks, but longer talks, and feeling tingly. Pillow fights on white sheets in underwear with yellow smileys; bacon and eggs and pancakes and sausage, and peanuts with no grease.
A day with you is seeing the dusk with rainbows. Chocolate ice creams and cones and mangoes; KitKats and Cadburys and Oreos, with Lego House and marshmallows. Or maybe cookies and cola and not milk, while I hold your hand of silk. Or maybe some singing or dancing or playing the guitar. Or painting a portrait of the moon and stars.
A day with you is a night in July and rainy. And kissing you with some hugging too and three spoonfuls of honey. Then I'll cradle you, with lights out, as you doze sweetly beside me. I'll hum you to sleep with tender pattings on the hips, and watch your eyelids fall gently.

I
am
Depressed
I am
and I feel down a lot
I don't even know why
but I do
but when he's there
somehow everything seems to be okay
somehow he makes everything okay again
somehow his presence makes me feel safe
makes me feel happy again
and thats why!!!
THAT IS WHY!!!
that is why i can't let go
that is why I just can't let him slip away
why i will never give up on him
why I will defend him over anyone
he's the only one that has been there for me through everything
helped me through everything
always made time for me
even when he was super busy
I can't let him go
not now
not ever
I
I just can't
He means everything
And
he is the only one that makes everything seem okay again
he makes me happy
genuinely happy
safe
and smiley
like nothing is ever wrong
he makes every bad feeling go away
And I can't just let that go
I can't
it would be like letting my happiness go
He makes me happy
Genuinely Happy

In a world full of more complex emojis
The simple smiley face stands alone
The one that adorned shirts and other paraphernalia long before the iPhone
It conveys a simple message too
Happiness
Something we all want, and need
But in the digital age, it's hard to tell by this colon and apostrophe
When someone is truly happy
After all
It's not our chosen punctuation that conveys how we feel inside
It's our actions
And you can't understand those through the phone

Silence is a sound
Silence is a text message
With just a smiley
Knowingly he cares
Silence is an image of the meadow
Waiting for the natural sound of the wind
Silence is reaching the top of the mountain
you look around in slow motion and said I did it
God **** it I did it!
Silence is just golden,
Silence is a sound
