| Game of Love I have discovered that there will always be obstacles to overcome. Love is a strange game we play; To be victorious is to enjoy the journey. Trials and tribulations are a lesson; Learning that love is the prize. Temptations come, temptations go; There is only one you. The decision becomes crystal clear: I would rather lose myself than risk losing you. |
| Life in a Garden Rising up from the ground, A small head peeks into the daylight. Small and petite leafy limbs, Reach to the burning Sun above. Warmth coaxes a hidden head, Out from its secure, safe womb. Beautiful, colorful faces emerge, Opening up to green surroundings. Passersby stop, drinking the aroma, Children play carefree adjacent. Mothers take home lovely specimens, Bringing the outdoors in. A young lover surprises his partner, Fragrant beauty brings a smile. So many brightened lives, Something so simple, so powerful. A flower is a tiny gift from God, Nature: a canvas of fine art. Pure pleasure to the eye, Earth's garden supreme. |
| Awakening She awakens, slowly opens her eyes Looking upon an entirely new world, she pauses New people, new things; new faces, new places Her fluffy bed of clouds dissolves Beginning her old routine, noticing it won't fit Thrust into an unknown life, she waits Immobility is bound to bring an answer And they said 'Opportunity waits for no man' Bulldozing ahead, plowing the innocent She wields dictatorship unknown even to herself Moist, wet dew starts to form on her warm skin The journey to realization is underway The hazey fog slowly fades, clearer and clearer Hopes, dreams, fears and pities emerge Only immediately to disappear entirely A voice from above calls out 'Don't get pulled down by twisted fantasies' All attempts to reach the light have failed her Natural law and rules are upside-down She must conform in order to succeed Painful but necessary in both worlds The goal can only be reached with strategy. |

| Dear Lord Please allow me the courage of self. Belief in my own abilities, Unmoving determinace always. Without Your help I stumble, Unable to face life on my own. Putting on a strong exterior, To hide the weaknesses within. My trust in You and only You, Trust in myself must be built. I am worty, I am lovable, My beauty resides both inside and out. The strength I seek must come from within before the light glows. I call You name, Oh Passionate God, Please grant me this request. |
| Slumber Eyelids heavy Dreams await A pause of the world Unconsciousness comes Soft surrounding A gentle carress Limbs become numb World slowly darkens Fantasy turns real Lasting hours Lasting mere minutes Abrupt waking Everything focuses The day begins |
| Self-Respect Self-respect is the most difficult to earn. A more judgemental audience is impossible to find. Goodness cannot be seen clearly when hazed by denial of character value. The light emerging from the heart is darkened by self-doubt. To not believe in one's own strength denies any other to do so in their own respect. God offers us unconditional love. The only other able to give and capable of giving this love is oneself. No one else can believe in you until you can belive in yourself. |
| Pure Love To be the most important thing in someone else's life. To be the reason for waking, the reason for a life not full of pain. To be loved without judgement. To be accepted for the goodness within. Many see outter appearance and quickly judge the soul. The beauty and purity of mind and soul. To be seen as perfect in one person's eyes is to be loved for self. Is it possible to find this pure love? When one is loved nonjudgementally there can be nothing else. Nothing to tarnish, nothing to maim. Love should uplift and strengthen, Only promote wellness; never grief. To be loved for oneself, bare-souled; Ignorance of all that is negative. Pure love must come upconditionally to make it possible to exist. Clouded eyes cannot see purely; Open your eyes to love and be loved. Only then will you find pure love. |
| Lonliness The heart is an empty house. Windows boarded up, door deadbolted; Protection is top priority. Let no one in, nor anything out; Lonliness is the only one allowed. Happiness fades; Love hurts; Sadness darkens; Anger frustrates; Given the alternatives, choose wisely. Lonliness is alone with yourself; You cannot harm your own heart. Therefore I choose an empty house; Lonliness. |
