you, who have been
happy often, walk from A
to B by the shortest route possible,
but the sad man’s walk,
much like the drunkard’s,
except consciously, is
staggered to delay as much
the inevitability of company.
~
you who are often happy,
smile and laugh with elegance,
but the sad man’s laugh
is wild, loud and coarse
perhaps because it means a
lot more to him.
~
you who are often happy, cry
silently and are yet consoled,
but the sad man’s grief
lives with him. inconsolable.
it becomes a badge of smile
upon his lips.
~
you who are often happy, are
beautiful and radiate joy,
but the sad man feels the pain
of the gravel he steps on,
and consoles the weeping skies.
the sad man sees it all.
~
fear not the sad man
when he walks into your life
for if happiness were the wine
that quenches your soul,
the sad man is the cork that
keeps it all together.

Mostly I can relate to the your poems,other times dive into every word and just let myself drown in moment that’s a result of every letter. So I just want you to know I appreciate your work. Sincere fun of yours, Bianca.
