Buy that black dress and the pearl string Slip on the heels and dance all night. As the music floods setting each atom agog With lightness you float atop bubbles of happiness.
Can it last for ever and ever? Can you buy bottled-happiness?
Fizzy like bottled-drink, happiness bubbles But peters out too soon before the cloud is clear. Outstretched arms and an open heart Catches some bubbles before they are burst.
Can the bubble ever be eternal? Can money buy me happiness?
Dancing through the night or buying all that's craved If this is 'that' happiness, I can buy more than my need. But something is missing in-between the fun A something missing that rises like a ghost.
Can that be loneliness or discontent? Can that be the 'something' money can't buy?
Searching high and low in every mall that sells Dazing the mind to research the lows In and out of hearts and relationships that sink Happiness eludes and slips like mercury does.
Can I learn to live outside the bubble? Can I relearn the art of living?
A tough ask although but not impossible I think Teaching myself to be detached from events Letting pain and happiness wash over me alike Watching as if from above at all happenings in life.
