Happy To Be Sad
___________________________
In a world of blind lizards
I'm happy to be sad
When memory is robbed
by tall, dark shadows
of disguised giants
made of sodden newspaper
Happy to be sad
alone with a good book
in which trees blossom
again, the dead wander
in sunlit meadow
I'm happy to be sad
finding you gone
further into my dream
only your scent lingers
---Jan. '05
"happy to do sth." is a common usgae, so to speak ...so, i play with the words..."i am happy to have the ability to feel the sorrow of the world"...
on the other hand, one cannot be "sad" if one's "happy," though i know what you mean ... it is a linguistic problem ...
BWU,
here, my sky is clouded also :)
i am dying to take a sun bath ...
see the clouds ruin a sunny day
hehe..that is the UK...:D
In the world of the cunning idiots
I am sad to be happy
when spirit is raped
by the sharp,ruthless knife
of a manic beauty
wrapped in plastic costume
Sad to be happy
among a euphoria crowd
among which the souls withered
again, the joyful flesh
dance on the stage
I am sad to be happy
finding you lost
further into your delusion
only your masks lingers
