Love Poem: Hidden Joy

Hidden Joy

I stay in the dark, far away from eyes
Who will see what they like not
Who cannot wish me well
Because on the past they dwell
Like a hoarder who hoards anger from memories of the past
Of a situation that did not last

I stay away from pictures and public posts
Away from an opportunity to boast
About the one I love the most
My favourite person who is a gift
Imperfectly perfect and is all that I have wished
For
And much more

I avoid an opportunity for ill wishes
I keep what's mine hidden from envious onlookers
That way I am filled with simple riches
Prayer, spirituality, happiness and love
I am rich with all of these above

I give a big smile from ear to ear
While looking at the One who is dear
To me...
And we hold hands through our journey on earth
Enjoying it to the fullest for all that it is worth
