THE EDGE OF HAPPY

I think I can see it from here... :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a marble ledge gazing down

Gray cold edge; indigo loneliness

A glass of All-Irish Black and Tan

Taking sips rich and dark as night

I hear a soft golden voice within

Feel the kiss of a scented breeze

Turn to see your smile light the room

I feel colored in carnival electric

Do you see me standing here?

Not breathing as I steal glimpses

Heart coming alive in your tone

Your laugh, what a brilliant caffeine

On the sunrise edge of happy now

At least I can finally see it from here

It’s resting across the room in your eyes

Please just look my way forever...

Please…

ahhh the allure of a dark room
seductive music
a dressed up and beautiful woman
i remember the days in night clubs
dressing up my meat suit to its prettiest forms
looking for love....

Hmm! I wonder how I missed this amazing piece.
Such a wonderful write here. Enjoyed the pic, it made the write come alive. Very well written Craig!

I read it more than once....it's absolutely enchanting, mesmerising my senses as I stood there with you, longing for that look of intimacy, of recognition, of reciprocality.
I love the colorful 'environment' of your poem, Craig...so very visual !!!

It's brilliant how you transformed an entire scene in your words so easily. The poem's very fluent, it's like every line came out on its own effortlessly. Well done.
