A letter to Happiness

Its you, its you I dream of all day
For it has been too long, too long
Since you blessed me with your presence
My memories of you are receeding
Like the faint shadow of the sun
Tarrying its descent into the sea
Or the lingering smell of the scorched earth
That has been kissed by the virgin monsoon

I bask in the glory of that which was
That which should’nt have been
That which swept me off my feet
And carried me far far away
Where I knew nothing but you
Take me again, take me back there
For its you, and only you
Who knows the way back to Elysium

The way back to our moment
The way back to my past and future
The way back to the same place
That I long to revisit
Where there is a rainbow in the sky
Where the birds are forever singing
Where the sun will never go down
Where we will never lose each other

Where the only tears we would see
Are the drops of dew glistening
In the first rays of the morning sun
Or the river weeping quietly as she
Leaves her home to join the sea
Where the lions know not ferocity
Where the peacocks know not pride
Where I know nothing but you

Where you are my only truth
Where its just you and me
For now and for ever
Come. Come, take me away
To that distant place
Where no one else can find us
Ah, to be lost in your caress forever
Make my dream come true.
