Poetry - Joy by Schwethz

Joy by Schwethz

Joy is an extreme pleasure,

Surging through our veins.

Making us flutter from strains,

That provokes a want us to treasure.

Happiness lies within self,

Take time to know your joy like it.

So you don't have to one day quit,

Since it's an important aspect to self.

What is a joy for me?

It's when I am in my mother's lap,

Lying down and listening to her, as I wrap,

She caresses, making me close as I see.

Dreams full of tender love,

Just leads me to the world of euphoria.

Sleeping on the lap means, no insomnia,

My brother yelped a wee, as I shove.

Giggling along, sleep took over me,

I could hear the fuming sigh of my brother.

Love to irritate, as we love one another,

After all, these small things bring glee.

Coming after a match, with brother,

It seems to be never-ending sweat.

Smiles erupts when I see myself wet,

as it reduces weight, also fat rather.

Joy is when I see myself thin,

Wearing a favorite black dress.

In front of mean people, I need to impress,

Going to flaunt the body, without any sin.

I am in joy, and I am too grateful,

Just has to hug him tight.

Never letting me down as he is my knight,

I Smack his head with a smile in playful.

Years passed, I became the pride,

Of my dad's, as I was always his favorite.

Reaching on the heights, I get to savor it,

Joy is when my dad's arms stretched wide.

Without holding on, I jumped on him,

Taking me in his warmth, made me sigh.

I am lucky as I get to feel him this high,

Like a joyous tribute to parents, I hymn.

Joy is with when family around, laughing,

Sharing the littlest of all things.

Flying high, as with freedom wings,

All together on the floor of dancing.

There came in, my prince charming,

All set to win my heart.

Letting myself dive into his love art,

I am all ready to do swarming.

Joy is when my parents hugging me,

Saying all the sweet nothing.

Smiling through tears for everything,

Nodding at them for long as I spree.

All is well when we have love,

As it's the most precious feeling.

Get insight into, to know the meaning,

Cause, it's the decision of someone above.

Living a fairytale was always my dream,

As it's just beautiful as it could be.

With joyous laughter around the bee,

Tears started swelling up as I gleam.

My love was beyond happy to know,

With the matter of going to be parents.

As I asked nothing more than his presence,

Joy was when they saw my face in a glow.

Time flew, as the day came,

Where I could meet my new hope.

There my little one was taking the scope,

He will be my extreme joy as I claim!

For me,

Joy is always being with family...
