The happiness of others

 

in the rush of senses
heat of moments
in young ambitions
on wheels of commerce

fleets of feeling
ping our sonar
pushing emotions
beyond borders  

into the happiness of others
what we discover
in looks of couples
in historical novels

in the happiness of others
pressing our desires
into shapes
we struggle to handle 

other people 
invade our dreaming
with hands and mouths
and desires screaming

breaking furniture 
painting the ceiling
arranging a future
we want to believe in


◄ O, Lve

go hire a team of liars ►

Love this Robert. It gives a new perspective on the way we often crave an ideal that doesn't always fit.
