Dynasty.

The bastard son, Happiness,
Born of Myth and Dream
Hides behind a fragile mask.
Enough to make one scream.
Faux faces aplenty.
Comedic not the least.
Jests at one with apathy.
Intangibly, it feasts.
Outstretched wings, to welcome him.
this Loki which one covets.
A laugh away, for fleeting glimpse.
Temporal acknowledgement of brother.
So readily available,
this person known as Sorrow.
The full-blooded emoticon,
and one’s eternal shadow.
Infuriating as a paper wasp
their knowledge of one another.
How exotic when their paths may cross,
for neither choose to follow.
The true iconic dynasty
to rule the hearts of all.
Yet, bastard brother, Happiness
Would rather watch it fall.

love the language in this
love the language in this and the short lines. The choice of words makes for such a poignant read.
There is a lot going on in this poem. But i would argue some of the logic. Tastes and opinions differ.
