In The Beginning

Chapter I

In a world much like our own, in a place not far away,

there lives a woman in a daze

who dreams of yesterday.

Her dreams are so alive

that today would pass her by, and when the night would come she would wish her life to die.

She doesn’t dream by sleep, no, her mind is wide a wake,

her memory won’t allow for her to take a mental break.

Her eyes are deep with woe until all who looked would know, that inside she was suffering

cause her past she can’t let go.

Her hair is like winter season

and her skin much like pure gold,

With forever in her grasp and yet today she still grows old.

You can gaze upon her beauty

and you feel as if you know her, and if she could be bought you wish you could afford her.

With bare feet she walks with grace she is like poetry in motion, people stop and stare just to give her there devotion.

She is that of a mighty queen and majestic like no other,

no one could compare

and your heart is drawn to love her.

She doesn’t wear a crown nor flashy jewelry just for show,

but this one thing that she’ll soon wear

is special, soon you’ll know.

Surrounded by adversaries her life she lives alone,

separate from the world

with no place to call her own.

Then it came to be as of the blinking of an eye,

a journey she must face and leave everything behind.

This place she wants to go

is unlike any she ever knew,

and in it relief lye’s and a way to start a new.

This place she wants to go there’s danger all around,

with obstacles to face but her happiness can be found.

Inside she is confused because her spirit says to go,

but what she leaves behind is to her a comfort zone.

Afraid to risk what’s real for what could be a fantasy,

afraid to stay away if it could mean to be happy.

A chance at happiness

and a place to call her own,

nothing could be greater than to make this place her home.

The journey

Chapter II

So the decision has been made and her trip has just begun, on a yellow road euphoria

where her feet begin to run.

Her hair flies with the wind and flowers grow under feet,

She runs so hard and fast till her heart cant take the beat.

She’s forced to stop and rest

cause there’s something in the road, pebbles, dirt, and rocks, there’s a mountain springing to form.

“Where did you come from” she screams to the hill

“and why do you come now,

don’t you see I’m on my way, happiness it is I am bound.”

But the mountain doesn’t answer

it grows bigger by the instant, tall and monstrous,

miles and miles must be the distance.

“I can’t climb this mountain” she weeps

“there’s no way it will ever stop, I should just turn back around and avoid this huge road block.”

 Like lightning she gains her strength and turns foot

and begins to run, but all the flowers that had grown

have now turned into gum.

“Oh, why did I leave my surroundings” she says,

feeling sorry for herself,

not knowing what to do so confused with what she felt.

When far away in the distance she could hear some whistling, it sounded like her favorite song

and so she began to sing.

Knowing every word while feeling the melody, you’ll never guess what happens next, the mountain begins to shrink.

The woman looking on with amazement and surprise

couldn’t believe her eyes, ‘cause as she continued singing

the mountain shrank down to size.

Relieved it went away she then felt confident to move,

but then she realized she was still stuck in the goo.

“I don’t want to leave” she pleads “happiness I still am bound, I don’t know what I was thinking

when I turned myself around.”

Then a voice from out the blue says “Stop that crying girl,

there ain’t nothing wrong with you,

you have to fight the clam for the pearl.”

“Fight the clam for the pearl” she mumbles, “what on earth do you mean by that?” come out from where your hiding

so we can have a little chat.”

  

THE LITTLE MAN FROM euphoria

Chapter III

From underground he came and he was blinder than a bat,

he had never seen the light of day but she knew not of that.

He wore glasses on his face with big frames and tinted lenses,

lots of baggy clothes he didn’t care much of his appearance.

A very humble man poor indeed of material things,

but rich in abundance of life unlike many human beings.

He was small and quite petite not much to look at with crooked teeth,

had eyes the color of the gray like the sky when it’s about to rain.

His hair was like straw, like when summer comes around,

his skin was pale like olive oil from being underground.

His smile greeted her so kindly like the rays of warm sunshine,

and when his hand touched hers somehow she knew she would be fine.

“How do you do” he said with glee and a twinkle in his eye,

“I want you now to look at me and tell me why you cry.”

She held her head down low but somehow new it would be alright,

so she lifted up her eyes to him and it was then that they caught sight.

Time stood still for what seemed forever as they gazed in each others eyes, for there they saw there future and together were hypnotized.

In his eyes she saw her lover, her soul mate forever in time,

for this is the journey she faces, but her lovers face she could not find.

Her vision of happiness is clear and her purpose is un-denied,

but as far as all the details they remain a mystery in her mind.

In her eyes he saw compassion and a beauty pure as night,

and new he had to be there as her guide throughout her fight.

Her journey he new well and had traveled it before,

knowing what to do and knowing what’s in store.

There visions came to pass and their spirits seemed at ease,

and so she began to speak of all the things that she had seen.

She told him of her travels and of the hard times that befell her life,

he knew what she was feelings cause his life too was full of strife.

His heart went out to her with compassion for her soul,

feeling like he knew her and everything she had exposed.

Wanting to know more, in front of her he stopped, to keep her from moving ahead,

but must have changed his mind because he then turned to her and said,

“This way you need to go” as he took her by the hand,

“To find your happiness you must reach a distant land.”

“This land I’m speaking of can be right within your grasp,

or it can be a long as all the years of your life gone past.”

“I’m ready to go” she said “what is the name of this place?”

“The Forest of Utopia” he said “but many trials you may face”

“But what about this gum I’m in, it seems I am confined”

but when she gazed upon her feet the gum had liquefied.

He warned her saying,

“Without faith you’ll never make it you must always stand your ground, ‘cause when an obstacle comes your way you mustn’t turn around”

“Cause if you do, you’ll be stuck like glue and you may never find your way back,

so keep aware and don’t be scared ‘cause forward is where it’s at.”

And with that he turned his back.

“Where are you going, are you leaving? I’m not ready to be alone” she said “Please don’t go I need you so, without you how can I move ahead.”

But before she could finish speaking the man had disappeared,

left her alone on road euphoria with mystery in the atmosphere.

Far off in the distance she could hear his whistling a tune.

She closed her eyes and remembered his eyes and hoped to see him soon.

RIGHT TO THE ORIGIN

Chapter IV

She brushed herself off and took a deep breath, and decided to press on,  

 with one step at a time she began to unwind, and walked until the dawn.

Finally she reached a fork in the road, that had no beginning or an end.

The sign on the left said “cessation” and to her right it said “origin”.

“What do these signs mean and are they clue’s on what I am to do,

which way should I go, to my left or my right?” She was lost and very confused.

“You don’t even know where your going” she thought

“how can you go on like this?”,

And before she could talk herself out of her journey,

from the ground up came a mist.

See, she didn’t know that the fork in the road was in a city called Serenity,

and every hour on the hour the ground provides mist of tranquillity.

She felt herself falling deep into dreams, a place she never ever goes,

she began to dream of happy things and her mind had finally let go.

The woman had never been fond of sleep, and stayed awake for most of her days,

So it really is truly amazing, how today she let go of that phase.

In her dream she visualized marriage, having children, and a loving home,

and then all of a sudden she awoke she found herself all alone.

Her sleep lasted for only one minute, but yet her dream seemed never-ending,

she woke up clear and refreshed, and yet her day appeared to be ending.

It was dawn when she came to the fork in the road and now twilight is near,

and still she has the problem of which road to take,

but at least now she is thinking clear.

  

With this heavy decision to make, she decides to compare the two,

hoping the answer would come to her, and then she’d know what to do.

To her right on road “origin” there is only dirt with rocks and dry sand.

But to her left on the road “cessation” there is grass with flowers, so grand.

But what does Cessation mean, it means the end, could that be a clue?

Could it mean the end of her journey, or maybe the dead end of her doom.

Where origin means the beginning but the beginning of what she thought,

maybe it’s the beginning of her journey, or the beginning of an endless walk.

“Oh, where is that little man now, doesn’t he know I need him so”

where is this forest Utopia, how do I know which way to go?”

The left appears agreeable, while all to the right seems unrelenting,

but then she recalls in Jehovah’s eyes everything to his right is pleasing.

So she gathers up her strength to prepare for the long hard journey,

to her right on the road of origin where she prays happiness is her destiny.

The road is long and narrow with thorns and rocks she cant escape,

her feet are getting cut with every step that she must take.

Ready to give up cause she can’t take it anymore,

The little man from euphoria comes up from the earth’s core.

He said “You’ve come to far to turn back now, keep on, it will be worth it”

“I can’t” she said in misery “if it is my life that I must forfeit.”

“Where have you been she said to him, have I made the right decision?”

He touched her lips with his finger tips and said, “Shhh where’s your conviction?”

He said “Close your eyes and visualize the love your looking for,

imagine your life in happiness and all that is in store”

So she closed her eyes and visualized all that was in her dreams,

she opened her eyes and to her surprise all the rocks had turned to leaves.

Her feet were feeling good and not one scratch on her could you find,

But the little man from euphoria had gone, was he a figment of her mind?

the VILLAGE OF FOREGOING

Chapter V

Leaves covered the ground and not one tree was found in sight, and the sun covered the moon

so it’s day instead of night.

The sky was of light blue and all the clouds had silver linings, and if you looked real closely

you could even see stars shining.

As she walked along the birds would talk and sing,

and a large sign up ahead read “Village of Foregoing”

Her heart began to pound with the weight of anticipation,

she felt she was getting closer to her dreams and aspirations.

The closer she came to the village the calmer things became,

and yet she had the feeling that chaos was about to reign.

She glided through the streets with wild flowers at her heels,

afraid of those around her, not revealing how she feels.

  

It’s was if the whole population, animals and people alike,

all looked in her direction with their envies and their strife’s.

They new that she was different unlike any of the rest,

they new she had a purpose and would be put up to the test.

People placed their bets on how quickly she would run away, ‘cause no one wanted her to succeed,

and turn there love astray.

Many tried to reach her through their stories and memories,

they tried to make her think about her past

and all her new feelings.

She never said a word and kept quiet to herself,

while in her mind she meditates on ways she could be felt.

She meditates on positive things to bring her love alive,

Hoping he would feel her and ease the fears she has inside.

Those around could tell she was special,

unique and far superb,

but no one knew her name, nor the things she had endured.

So a mystery she remains in the eyes of all who look in wonder, not knowing when she came

not knowing where she comes from.

They hoped that she would leave, in failure of her journey,

confused and lost within, with no hope of a recovery.

HER LOVE & THE GIFT

Chapter VI

All but one deep in the shadows had the faith she would survive,

“pss, pss” he said to her on the way she would pass by.

Not knowing where to run, but in a hurry to get away,

she allowed those that surround her to make her quite afraid.

She turned in his direction but could not really see,

only a small figure hiding in the shadows of a large magnificent tree.

The only tree in town, it seemed so very out of place,

no other trees in sight, but with its leaves the streets were laced.

For miles and miles there was nothing but leaves,

and yet this tree appeared in season,

how could this be she thought to herself, this picture has no reason.

“pss pss” he said again, to make sure this time she heard him,

with caution she moved a bit closer, as he ducked further behind a limb.

“I’m the one your looking for” his voice was like music in her ears,

“I’m the one pictured in your dreams, the one for the cause of your tears”.

Before he could continue she rushed over to the tree,

trying to get a glimpse of her love in hopes to set her heart free.

Running to the tree but he was no where to be found,

but dangling from the limb was a gift she’ll never put down.

“Why!” she screams in pain, out loud for all to hear,

and then it began to happen on her cheek rolled down a tear.

A RIVER CRIED AGONY

Chapter VII

She fell upon her knees, with her head down in her hands, and she began to weep so strong,

enough to flood the land.

The tears began to fall, like rain from out the sky,

lightning and thunder clashed, as she proceeded to cry.

All the people fled, in every direction they could go,

and as she continued to sob, the sky would make rainbows.

Her flood of tears shed for a while, until she could mourn no longer,

and when she lifted up her head, you’ll never believe her wonder.

The tree she once was under, no longer did exist,

but she was very thankful cause at least she has her gift.

Everything from the buildings and homes, nothing could be seen, from hither to thither was nothing but water,

and it engulfed everything.

Everything but were she stood, laid buried under the deep,

and even where she laid, the water brushed over her feet.

  

She stuck her head under the water,

and tried to open up her eyes,

But the water was full of salt, so it burned them deep inside.

Before they burned she did get a glimpse

of what was below her feet

it appears where she stands is not what it was,

it’s now a big Valley peak.

She could swim like a fish but where would she go,

when there is no land in sight.

No place to run no place to hide, and soon it will be night.

How did I get here, where am I now,

and where do I go from hear, she wondered.

Without a plan she remembered the man,

and her dreams she began to ponder.

HIS VOICE

Chapter VIII

As she dreamed she let her mind free, and could hear the sweet voice of her devotion, he said “Hey, it’s alright, hurry, get in, lets go let’s get out of this ocean”

She felt a rocking, a shaking type motion and opened her eyes to see. It wasn’t her love it was the man from euphoria,

in a boat by the named of redeem.

He was shaking her hand to get her to stand saying “Hurry, please get in!” but in her daze his sound was the same

much like her lovers accent.

“Get in!” he exclaimed “we must get away, before anything else goes astray” she looked at him strange, thinking what is his name? “Come on!” he again exclaims.

She thinks he means well but can not quite tell,

because of all his mysterious ways.

Unsure she remains cause there’s no time for games,

but all she knows is something seems strange.

So she jumps in the boat and they began to float

to the center of the sea of agony,

  

Then all of a sudden from the pit of her stomach,

she begins to get this feeling.

She says “I get this strange feeling I know you my friend

there’s something very familiar about you.

Do you think that you can share with me,

who you are, please give me a clue?”

He didn’t give her and answer, and continued to row them away. He must have been in a hurry,

because with her he didn’t stay.

He told her, “I’m here for you, but now I must go,

to make sure you make it alright”

And before she could open her mouth to speak,

he dove overboard out of sight.

“Hey, little man!” she screamed, “come back, don’t leave me alone like this” then all of a sudden she began to spin

and wondered was her life at risk?

Like a whirlpool of great proportion she began to start spinning down as if someone remove a great big plug from beneath the underground.

Her world spun like a top, she could see the mountains coming to view. She held on tight as all the water drained,

until it became a small pool.

Feeling sick from the violent spin she endured she laid back to gain her composure, And in her hand she held on tight,

to the gift she received from her lover.

reflections

Chapter IX

Lying on her back with her eyes up to the sky,

clouds formed into shapes of many different size.

One cloud took the shape of the head of an African lad,

and as she gazed upon it her mind began to relax.

But just before she fell asleep a noise much like an alarm, went off in the near by distance and from her hand she dropped her charm.

Afraid to loose her gift she decided to put it on,

and to this day this very day you’ll always find it on.

Startled by the noise she felt the feeling it was time to go, so she jumped up from the boat redeem and proceeded to find home.

She found herself in a valley, surrounded by mountains so high,

with dark green grass and apple blossom growing along the sides.

The smell was that of honey suckle, with a hint of sweet perfume,

and when the birds would sing, the sound was that of a familiar tune.

This Valley has an echo, like none she new before,

and when she walked the echo said “The Valley of Heavy Souls.”

“The Valley of Heavy Souls” she questioned, “is this where my love lies?”

but as she continued walking the echo began to cry.

Ooooh, Ooooh, as if it were in hurt and pain,

the woman began to feel real sad and questioned why she came.

Where does this feeling come from she wondered,

and why must I feel this way?

But the sorrow continued to stifle her, until she would suffocate.

Every breathe she would take took all of her strength,

cause her heart was heavy with woe, and all she could hear

was the valley’s cry in her ear, Ooooh Ooooh.

Giving in to the anguish her heart felt the fear,

that love was awry and wouldn’t never be near.

“Why, why, why” she questioned, “why can’t happiness be mine?”

‘Cause in her mind the happiness she finds,

is always a short period of time.

Then all of a sudden she was face to face, with an image that was all too familiar. A masculine side but it was her just the same,

it was an image of her in a mirror.

The mirror reflected an image of her that reminded her of a man,

and in the man she could see her past

and the past said “take my hand”.

So she took the hand and made a stand in effort to confront her past,

and all her fears she would have to face or never would she last.

From memory one to the present time, it all flashed before her eyes,

and all her pain and suffering she must fight,

or she would cease and demise.

Battle after battle she confronted her fears it seemed it would never end,

through sweat and tears she came from her past alive, she made amends.

a lesson MUST learned

Chapter X

She opened her eyes, and there he was, the man from euphoria, holding her hand with tears in his eyes, singing the name Gloria. Gloria, Gloria.

“Why do you call me Gloria” she questioned

“You do not know my name?”

He answered, “You know not of my name either,

but remember, I can still feel your pain”.

“You speak of what you do not know” he said

“See I have lived here all my life, and I have seen your journey, because I am the string to your kite”.

“I know where you have been and I know the troubles you have seen, I know were you are going,

and your answers lye in me”

“I could lead your way, but unfortunately you must learn,

that happiness can be forever,

you must believe it is your turn.”

“I do believe, I do believe what is it I must do”

“I’ve fought so many fears today and now I’m so confused”.

“Tell me what to do“ she pleaded ”Show me where to go”,

I want to live in happiness just like other people I know”

He looked at her with doubt, and began to warn her in clues,

saying “Listen to what you just said,

you believe and yet your confused”

“How can you be confused my sweet when faith can clear all doubt? this is something that has stumbled your way,

and this, you should think about.”

“You have fought so many fears” he said

“and this is good don’t get me wrong, but you still can not let go, and for this your journey will be long”

“I can’t take this anymore” she cried “Why are you doing this to me? I can’t keep going on like this,

I know you can save me” she plead.

He looked at her with pity and brushed the hair away from her eyes, “I wish I could help you more

but a journey of my own I must defy”

“So please don’t ask again, I have told you what to do,

just listen to your heart and the answers shall come to you”

With that he turned away disappearing from her sight,

and so she began to pray to God morning, noon, and night.

Night after night and day after day,

much slow progress has she made.

THE TREE

Chapter XI

Her journey has been long one hundred less eight days,

she’s finally going to reach the land of her love,

so many demons she had to sleigh.

Her prayers kept her safe through all the ups an downs,

her lovers presents she could feel was constantly around.

But on this ninety second day,

something was going to change, she knew not what it was, but the day seemed kind of strange.

She had spent most of her days wondering

in the Land of Uncertainty, but today when she awoke,

she felt this strong sense of urgency.

The wind was whipping about,

as if a storm was drawing near, and so she ran with the wind in hopes her mind would clear.

It has been quite a long search, for happiness without pain,

Love as pure as gold, and friendship without games.

  

Then up head she could see, quite a magnificent something,

what is it? its a tree,

what’s it doing in the middle of nothing?

Oh my gosh there it is, the tree from the Village of Foregoing, with all it’s luscious leaves,

and from it’s limbs they all were blowing.

She slowly walked to the tree in hopes maybe to see,

her lover somewhere around but still he was not found.

The wind continued to blow until all the limbs were bare,

and left on one tiny limb was another gift left there.

She gently removed the gift and immediately put it on

vowing never to take it off because on her they do belong.

The leaves were in the air and blowing all about, but left a trail from Uncertainty that seemed to lead the way out.

She followed the trail of leaves that left a trail blowing in the sky, high above her head it seemed they had lite wings to fly.

She began to get this feeling as if she’d been here before,

something like dejavu and so she began to explore.

Everything around her, felt as if she knew it well,

like memories of her journey,

maybe this is where they dwell.

THE forest of utopia

Chapter XII

Where am I” she questioned out loud as if she’d get a reply

and then a familiar voice spoke to her from out the clear blue sky.

“Your near the forest of Utopia” he said “don’t you recognize the land?

This is where you journey ends and it’s also where it began.”

“See over there are the mountains you conquered and even your Valley peaks, the river that you cried and the village you once seeked.”

“Over there is the fork in the road in the city of serenity,

and the Village of Forging where your love first spoke to thee.

Her heart began to pound like wild horses beating the ground

She spun around in circles looking at everything around.

She saw the mountains, the  peaks, the river and fork in the road

the village, even the people but they didn’t seem to notice her.

They walked in confusion and never even looked her way,

and then the voice from out the blue said “No, don’t go that way”

“What way, this way?” she questioned,

“Toward the Village of Foregoing?” not realizing the danger she would be in, of being trapped in their uncertainty.

“Where are you” she quirked, as she walked closer to the village,

“your voice is that of my loves so I would like to see your image.”

“Why must you test me and play games” he quipped “when I am here for you, listen to what I say for once there’s is no need to play the fool.”

 She said “well maybe if I go closer you’ll feel compelled to reveal yourself” he said “please don’t get it twisted,

you’ll be alone without no help”

“No, please don’t leave me alone” she begged,

“I’ve been alone for much too long,

I need the comforts of my love, I don’t want to do anything wrong”.

“Well then listen with your heart” he said “and everything will be fine”

“All will fall in place and there will be nothing left to hide.

“Your voice is so familiar” she questioned “why do you hide from me?”

“I’m sure that I’m in love with you, do you want to be with me?”

And then the voice said “How do you know your in love with me?”

“You don’t know who I am, how can you love what you can not see?”

She said, “I love Jehovah God, and in him I can not see,

why can’t I love you, when you are here with me?”

“Little man from euphoria is it you” she said in doubt,

where are you,  I need you, wont you please come out.”

Silence fell over the land, not even a bird could be found chirping,

Then all of a sudden behind a tree she heard some leaves crumpling.

To her joy he stepped into view,

like the most beautiful thing she’s ever seen,

he said “How did you know it was me, and not your loving King?”

In response she asked “Are you not my loving King,

for I have traveled all around,

From beginning to the end and you are all that I have found.”

He said “Come with me my love, take my hand and you will see,

how much we are alike and what we’ll come to be.”

THE Well Of delusion

Chapter XIII

Hesitation was in her eyes, he felt she wouldn’t take his hand, so he said “How are you feeling,

don’t you want to claim this land?”

“I’m afraid” she openly admitted, “you have been with me all along, have you been deceiving me,

are you my love, do we belong?”

“I am afraid too” he reasoned with her,

“But you don’t yet understand, this journey isn’t over

and where you’ve come is un-traveled land”

“Everything is new” he explained “completely unexplored,

this territory you are in, has never been touched before.”

She said, “In the beginning you said I needed to reach,

the Forest of Utopia, and now you say I’m near it,

and yet over there is the road Euphoria?”

“My whole journey is before my eyes” she said,

“Why are you tricking me?”

“Where are we?” she demanded,

“And what are you to me?”

  

“If you recall I said the land,

could be right within your grasp,

or it can be a long as all the years of your life gone past.”

“This is not a trick” he said “and I told you where you are.”

near the Forest of Utopia, and you have traveled far.

He took her hand and led the way, toward a well that was near by, where water flowed like a stream,

way down deep inside.

With a long handled ladle, he drew some water from The Well of Delusion, and asked her to drink from it saying,

“take a sip, it will end your confusion.”

“What if you want to hurt me?” she feared, “I don’t want to be hurt again” he said “Please, if you can’t trust me by now then I’m going back my land”

So he turned away in direction to leave, in hopes she would  beg him to stay, knowing she needed the drink from the well in order to survive the days.

“No no, please don’t go” she pleaded with him, “I trust you, I really do.” and with that she took a sip from the ladle and began to feel herself swoon.

Everything spun around and she could feel herself falling deep, deep into the well of Delusion and her eyes became heavy with sleep.

THE DREAM

Chapter XIV

Colors were every where, as they swirled before her eyes,

much like a kaleidoscope,

the way they moved had her hypnotized.

She found herself at home, back with all her familiar things,

surrounded by adversaries, who asked her where she’d been.

She couldn’t really say exactly, because she didn’t quite really know, so she kept her journey a secrete,

until she felt she could finally let go.

She walked in anklets made with beads, hand crafted by her love, bare feet with anklet jewels,

but no clothing to speak of.

She felt her lover with her, deep inside her soul,

searching for some answers in her, that today remain untold.

Her lovers voice called out for her, to ask her to give in,

give in to what she’s feeling, let go and let him in.

She let go and let him in but something else was there,

something from her past so his fight was sure to last.

THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES

Chapter XV

Blackness is all around, it’s dark with no glimpse of light,

she’s cold and very afraid because she’s blinded with no sight.

The last thing she remembers, is drinking from the Well of Delusion, and the little man from euphoria said

“take a sip it will end your confusion.”

“Hello?” she said aloud “Little man are you still there?”

but no response was heard, it was then that she felt scared.

Helplessness gripped her chest and panic began to set in,

she felt betrayed and all alone, without so much as a friend.

When then she heard his voice, saying “Hear I am Sweet Pea”

I see you are awake, I wish you wouldn’t worry.”

“I can’t see you, am I blind” she asks “What has happened to my sight?” He says “You are underground my love

and down here there is no light.”

Then she felt his hand on hers and it sent chills down her arms and back. The feeling was like nothing she ever felt before,

and she knew this was something she lacked.

 “You touched me” she says real sweet, “Can you see me through all this darkness? your touch gave me the chills” she said

“I need your tenderness”

She squeezed his hand and pulled him closer saying, “Can you look into my eyes?” if you can make love to me” she said,

“Cause you will know what I feel inside.”

She could feel his body moving closer until he hovered over her,

“I can see your eyes” he said “and I can see I am your lover”

With that he kissed her lips and they melted into one another,

their spirits began to soar as if they had been together forever.

As they embraced they became one, yoked together in unity,

They could see their lives flash before their eyes,

and the present seemed like a dream.

Their eyes were sealed shut, but everything was seen so clear,

in front of them face to face were reflections of a mirror.

She saw in him a very feminine side, and fell in love all over again,

He found in her a masculine side and wanted it never to end.

She could see a home, the very home her love created,

and he could see a child born to them and she is so elated.

Their world began to spin, as the darkness became the light,

underground became the heavens, as their spirits were in flight.

They made love over and over until their minds were blown away,

and he awoke, and found himself, alone and in a daze.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Chapter XVI

Deep in Utopia, scattered all around, cobwebs are everywhere,

and not a soul could be found.

He awakes from his daze, to find his love is gone,

no where to be found, now something must be wrong.

They shared each others spirit, like they have never done before,

She is the love of his life and it’s her he does adore.

He can feel her spirit all around him, so inside he’s unafraid,

realizing he found his love, and is secure in her today.

Although she is not in sight, he is sure she loves him so,

so he searches for there home,

where he knows there love can grow.

Its been dark most of the day but sometimes there is light,

and as the days go on their light tends to get bright.

A little brighter every day, more and more things can be seen,

The clearer things become the less they seemed confusing.

  

He knows he is near home, where he will spend forever in time, not afraid of any confusion, because all is clear in his mind.

Far off in the distance he can see the home he’s been searching for,

the one pictured in his dreams, so he knows what is in store.

So he runs through the forest and crosses the stream of agony,

past the tree that bore the gifts from the Village of Foregoing.

Down the pathway of his home, leading toward there front door,

excited to be alive, yelling “Honey I’m home!”

His journey has been long, one hundred and fifty four days,

He’s finally reached the heart of his love,

so many demons he had to sleigh.

He swings open the door, with this trill all over his face,

relieved he has made it home, glad he continued the chase.

The air smelled just like there love, and oh, what a sweet perfume,

 and she had written him love letters, hidden in every room.

Every letter he opened, revealed a special part of her,

feelings she has for him and things they have endured.

Nine letters all together, all creative and decoratively done,

not including a special gift to him, a unique and exclusive one.

After searching every room, he could not find his love,

but then he looked outside the window and sitting there she was.

Sitting by the stream, that runs through there front yard,

gazing across the tears they shed, and praying to Jehovah God.

  

The wind blew threw her hair as she sang a lullaby,

rubbing her stomach gently, and a tear rolled down his eye.

Tears of joy is what he cries because his happiness is here,

she’s sitting on the bank and everything is clear.

She is beautiful and intelligent and loves him for who he is,

and the way she rubs her stomach he knows she’ll bare his kids.

Pregnant with his child to be born,

pregnant with his world to explore,

pregnant with who he is inside,

because apart there love would surely die.

She felt his presence, so strong and so overwhelming,

she knew he saw her, and toward her he was coming.

She turned in his direction, to the one who reached her core,

she began to speak to him and proceeded to welcome him home.

She said “You have made it to my soul and this is what I hide.”

“Your journey was successful and now I’m open wide”

“Before you came along, I was twisted and confused

much like you,

but now that you are here with me there’s nothing we can’t do.”

She took him by the hand and gazed into his eyes,

and all there past and future had flashed before there eyes.

Their future looked like heaven and a world of paradise,

everything was beautiful and everything felt nice.

He left his past behind, and also so has she,

together they will conquer, any and all negative things.

He has made himself a home, where no one has before,

In her heart she let him in,  now there visions can be born.

She treasures every moment spent with him, so happy he stayed to fight, and just because he did she has given him her life.

She say’s “I have a special gift for you,

unique and exclusively yours,

like nothing I’ve ever created before because it’s you I do adore.”

“So read it from the beginning, she says “but you will never get to the end, ‘cause our story will continue, until our lives descend”

THE END
