Happiness

I never really wanted the sweet smell of success to take over my senses

I never really wanted all my days of blessedness to be numbered

I never really wanted all of my prayers to be answered

I never really wanted all of my fears to be surrounded

I never really wanted to steal your kiss or take your breath away

all I wanted was to see your face for my happiness

I never really wanted the sound of your precious voice whispering in my ear

I never really wanted the soft touch of your fingertips against my skin

I never really wanted to look inside myself for fear I would not recognize him

and there I’d stand a naked soul with no body to hide in.
