Unrequited
unrequited:
it's all in the mind -
an unkind game
we play with our heart
crushed by a crush
or matrimony gone bust -
it's the ache that breaks;
a void that tears one apart

We are connected like the leaves
To something larger with strong roots
And it’s connected, it believes,
Which gives it hope to send out shoots.
And that’s connected. So it goes.
No need to question, ask what for.
Happiness: a rush that flows
And knows it need not ask for more.

What is Happiness Grandad?
What is happiness Grandad?
Asked the child.
As she laid by the fire,
On the rug,
With the cat,
Watching bright flames
Dance out of black coal.
I was half asleep,
And didn't answer,
But the cat purred on.

Happiness
In appreciating,
Seeing the beauty,
Of the smallest thing -
There lies my duty.
A flicker of sunbeams
Glows through the glass
Onto your face, it gleams -
This moment will never pass
I hold onto it, not lonely
In the cold and the rain
With memories my only
Reason, comfort for pain.
Oh well you know
such a thing
is limited to the few
Happiness is a puzzle
We all know it's true
It's about Mars
Far more than Venus
Any God will tell you
Since they all Has Penis!

What Price Happiness?
Money cannot buy happiness
So it something to be treasured
The things it can buy may give you cheer
But happiness cannot be measured
Good things in life are to be desired
Good health, good food, good friends
As far as happiness goes there are not required
One forsaken and alone can still experience joy
Are you truly happy? Then tell me, my friend
The formula you use to ascertain it's value
What would it take for your happiness to come to an end?
That is the fulcrum you must guard and protect
Don't base your happiness on something you own
Something you like or someone you hold dear
Because the lost that will come will bring happiness to an end
Happiness is a state of mind, you nourish and grow!

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
happyness
is a choice
out of modern
claws
stress draws
the mind needs
it to unlawds
light against
flaws
it becomes
the meaning
of cause

Serotonin, the Catecholamines
Norepinephrine, dopamine, and adrenalin,
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid),
And Endorphins – These bring you happiness.
We may talk of women, wine, and song, but
These just bring on neurotransmitters.
We may talk of the joy motherly love,
But oxytocin brings that, not magic.
Oh, happiness is just brain chemistry,
Good food, chocolate, wine, and nuts with loving
Caresses, sweet whispering, some nibbling
All these stimulate neurotransmitter production
I enjoyed the variety of the interpretations explored regarding happiness. As usual I agonized over having to make a choice; all were worthy on one level or another.
YesNo: My favorite lines -
“We are connected like the leaves
To something larger with strong roots”...
“Happiness: a rush that flows
And knows it need not ask for more.”
prendrelemick: “What is happiness Grandad? Asked the child”...
“the cat purred on.”
Oh, if Grandad only imparted an effort to engage and break the spell of the ensuing tableau vivant !
North Star: “In appreciating, Seeing the beauty, Of the smallest thing -
There lies my duty.” I found this quite profound. The rest I found most melancholy for some reason; albeit affirming your opening lines.
Delta40: My favorite line - “Happiness is a puzzle”.
Your ending took me quite by surprise; a rather ribald repartee. Then I broke down your title to an understanding, a slow dawning I can assure you, and I better understood the Mars/Venus reference. Venus might have more to say in my estimation; from Shocking Blue: “Her weapon were her crystal eyes/Making every man mad.“
Pendragon: Upon deconstruction I discovered the gem within (IMHO):
“happiness cannot be measured”... “One forsaken and alone can still experience joy”... “The formula you use to ascertain it's value”... “That is the fulcrum you must guard and protect”... “Happiness is a state of mind, you nourish and grow”.
Cacian: “happyness
is a choice”... (That is how I envisioned the ZenPencils 'comic'.)
“out of modern
claws”...
“the mind needs”...
“light”
PeterL: “Happiness is a Warm Brain”
(lol) I might have attributed the aforementioned to Timothy Leary or Ken Kesey; a very 60's mind set of the counter-cultured.
Congratulations to all, and the winner is Pendragon !
