Center of the Myst

Life Can Be Such a Challenge and Struggle
To Understand Who We Are and What to Do

The Fear and Confusion From Inside
Has Us Wondering Whether We Belong

Often We Place a Myst Around Ourselves
To Protect Us From Pain and Disappointment

The Further Away We Run and Hide
The Harder It Is to Know Ourselves

The More We Try to Control the World
The Less Effective Our Life Seems to Be

Everything Seems to Be Falling Apart
And the Road We Travel Seems Too Steep

That Is the Time We Have to Make a Stand
And Light the Torch That Burns Away the Hurts

Don't Give Up the Struggle and Lose the Race
Discover the Truth and Beauty Within Yourself

You Are the Only One Who Can Do It All
By Opening Yourself to All That Can Be.

Life Is Not Just a Game of Chance
Take a Step Back to Control Your Destiny

Take the Time to Make it Work
And Say a Prayer to the One Above

Follow Your Heart to Discover Your Desires
And Do Something Special That Really Matters

Reach Out to Find the One Who Can Be True
Who Knows How to Listen to Only You

Myst and Darkness Cannot Take Control
When You Discover the Magnificence That Is You

Know That You Truly Sparkle and Glow
When You Let the Light Shine From Within

Poetry - Fairy Tale

Fairy Tale

I was told the same fairy tales
As you and I dreamed the same dreams

I was told at a young age how to act like a queen,
So much like Cinderella, I dazzled the finest of men.

So much like Sleeping Beauty, I've had the best of things.

So much like Snow White, I've been cherished for my beauty.

I was told the same Fairy Tales as you and I dreamed the same dreams.

I was told at a young age how to act like a queen,
yet the ending was not the same.
I never found my golden love,
I never found my prince.

I was told the same Fairy Tales as you and I dreamed the same dreams.

Yet, your story says "Happily ever after",
Mine says "The End".

Poetry - Eyes and Soul

Eyes and Soul

She has eyes that touch only me --
And knows the truth within my heart.

She came into my life quite suddenly --
And knew that our love was meant to be.

She is that rare and beautiful spirit --
Who gives from her body and soul.

She is a complex and special one --
Who demands the very best from me.

The key to her heart is but one --
Being true and accepting all she is.

He beauty is the mystery of the moon --
And the brilliance of the sun.

Her eyes tell the complete story --
Full of strength, caring and grace.

She walks beside me in the night --
And lets me know how much she love me.

She is the love of my life --
My precious soulmate, Nicole.

Poetry - A Love So True

A Love So True

We were destined to meet
And share a love so true

There is a beauty in our love
As we dance together once more

Never in my wildest dreams
Did I expect to find a love like this

You fill my heart with such joy
I know that I’m now finally home

You are my beloved Love Flower
Who has changed my world forever

Our souls are joined as one
Beginning a life with a love so true
