Happily Never After? by Tu

Happily Never After?

by Tu

Forever in search we be

of that happily ever after

That place abounding 

In love, joy, peace and laughter

That spot we find the treasure

And pleasure 

of our soul

Where we know 

We will not be in want

But getting stupid fricken drunk in love

Not only in sexy romantic amor 

But where all our needs and desires 

want 
no more

Just being completely content 

and satisfied 

Cup running over

Heart occupied 

With La la land

Feeling like a sweet MJ high 

Getting heaven sent

Floating in the sky 

Groovin' on some kind of psychedelic euphoric bliss

Where the most incredible kiss 

Has landed

On your wish. 

But how many of us ever leave this life

Having tasted that joy

Of the fairytale poison?

Not this boy!

Have you found your happiness

Or just feeling happy-less?

The Sighs of Life...

For those in amor....

For the living know that they will die,
    but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
    and even their name is forgotten.

Their love, their hate
    and their jealousy have long since vanished;
never again will they have a part
    in anything that happens under the sun.

Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. Enjoy life with your wife,whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 9:5-10
