"Happiness is the only thing we can give without having."


The adverse of love is clearly disdain.

Abandoned houses become engulfed in black.
All wilted petals soon blow away.

A girl neglects her cherished dress.
The love she had before turns into lack.
The adverse of love is clearly disdain.

Man forgets the most important day.
Woman breaks down. She breaks, she cracks.
All wilted petals soon blow away.

Effort evaporates like water from the driven.
Giving up, giving in. She’s lost her knack.
The adverse of love is clearly disdain.

People grow old, and tired; they forget.
Devotion is air born. It lands hard with a smack.
All wilted petals soon blow away.

Creature not used to a life of neglect.
Humans don’t see them. Look away, turn your back.
The adverse of love is clearly disdain.
All wilted petals soon blow away.

I have not failed, I just found 10,000 ways to not succeed.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Smooth flow, floats soundly and has an elegant touch to it. Keep it up.
