Bliss (Nano 09 poem)

Bliss1

Is a warm shower on a cold afternoon
when no one is home
when no one can judge2

Warmth3

is a friend waiting up just to say hello
when no one else is there
when no one else can say otherwise4

Friends5

are people who never stop
never stop to ask why
never hesitate to defend6

People7

are misguided, confused, and sad
but can become something fantastic
but can help themselves in so many ways8

Confusion9

is a simple state
that can be defeated
that can be overcome10

Defeat11

is not regret
should not be considered permanent
should not guide life12

Life13

is full of mistakes
is full of music
is full of magic14

Music15

is when words stop
says what voices alone can not
says what voices alone are afraid to16

Voices17

fill the empty silence
cover us with warmth
cover us in bliss18

Bliss

Author notes

Um. I need like 130 more words for the day so I got this out. The idea of writing a poem about bliss was in my head for a little while, so I started with that and let it take me where it wanted. The entire thing took like 3 minutes, so yeah...

    Your AN almost seems to suggest that you aren't happy with this piece. I think this poem is brilliant! The descriptions are well founded, each of them as meaningful as the next. Well done!

    I do wonder, though, for NaNoWriMo are you putting together a book of poetry? Just curious.
