Three buses away from happiness...

There I was,

Somewhere between

Clarity and hope,

Reasoning and belonging.

Three buses away from happiness.

Life revisited...

Portobello Road

photo and poem © Jesús Montero

The brief fix of an early coffee.

A short walk down ol’ Portobello.

The immaculate fragrant bloom of rockroses.

The sight of many familiar faces.

Life revisited.

On a morning of gloom

And diluted sorrow.

Incessant moments of happiness...

********

Incessant moments of happiness

Tread the boards of our lifetimes.

They appear,

Reappear.

Breaking through grey clouds

With sunshine.

Incessant moments of happiness

Make the world’s verses

Shift,

Fit.

Rearranging the words

With true rhyme.

Incessant moments of happiness

Are like lullabies

Are to cherubim

Come bedtime.

Incessant moments of happiness

Feel like the scent

Of one

And a thousand pine forests.

Fresh,

Soothing.

Like the pulp

Of the sweetest melon.
