"Like a bubble
Glows for a second
Disappears the next
Joy at its extreme
The moment it's thrust upon"

These lines are simple yet so effective!!! So true that happiness sometimes last for a short period. But, it is remembered for years to come until death, perhaps.

Good writing!!!

so when did you originally write it?
situation?

4th October 1994... when Sure(sh) came and told me after almost a month after our wedding, when I gave up all the hopes on our honeymoon, "take leave, we are going out for a week, just you and me"

I was so happy when he said just you and me. but of course that's what honeymoon is all about :)

how true Ajey... not just joy, even sorrow, it's at it's extreme when we feel. the duration before is anticipation and later is known fact... only those few moments is potent.

"Like a bubble
Glows for a second
Disappears the next
Joy at its extreme
The moment it's thrust upon."

Beautifully crafted..Not to be obscene but one word that comes to my mind for this is orgasmic..

Lovely ending..
