Hold Not Thy Laughter

Hold not thy laughter For that joyful sound I am forever after, seeking when you are around Waiting for it to chortle, in the background Hold not thy laughter As it fights to escapes thy lips To send me on joyful trips Your giggles and cackles Harmlessly tend to baffle Your happy facial expressions Paint only a gleeful picture of inspiration As we rejoice to thy jubilant noises in full attention Hold not thy laughter from the heart Hold not thy laughter until we part Hold not thy laughter as we make a start When I dispel in my gloom Thy laughter delivers me Safely from my state of doom Sadness runs outside from my room Happiness inside glows with a boom As my rosy cheeks mirthfully blossom Hold not thy laughter as we cheerfully chat Hold not thy laughter when you publicly fart Hold not thy laughter whatever the format A giggle, a chuckle, a titter not a snigger Laugh it out whether thin or fat Fill the air, my dear Laugh it out before it scats out flat Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi www.sylviachidi.co.uk Check out my latest 'Justice & If I were a girl'
