(poem) - Envoy of my happiness

How did I not know
My life was so bad
Before I had you
As my bride?

The day to day
Meandering pace
Of simply avoiding
The mirror’s face





I once walked
In a land of the dead
Where even the dreams
Were places of dread

Enjoyment was found
In the most unhealthy places
I am revolted by the memory
Of many of those past faces

I look upon yours
And fill with such joy
It overwhelms me so
Because you are True-Love’s Envoy




Sometimes I see the past
All too clearly
And am roused awake
Having missed you dearly

I’m glad the past is the past
And I no longer have to live it
Its wonderful to remember the mistakes
So I don’t have to repeat it.

I have lived a life
Of deranged sorrow
Where I had to
Beg, steal, and borrow




I lost a house
I lost a home
But I gained a life
And started brand new volume

How did I find this happiness?
Why do I deserve such joy?
I am so completely overwhelmed
You are truly my soul’s envoy.
