I have never shared these
poems. I keep them in a shoebox in my bedroom. This one I
read from time to time, it brings me sadness but also
hope. - Cindi The Mist
[Back to top]
By Cindi
Who is it I see
A stranger, no it is you.
But you are a stranger hiding in the mist.
Are you so afraid of who you really are
That the truth has become your enemy.
I walked into the mist and couldn't see.
Confused and lost, I held on to the only thing I thought
was real.
You.
But if you were a stranger and your words were all lies
Then I was in danger.
If I let your lies become my truth, I would be lost.
I wanted to lead you out of the mist.
But I had to walk back into the light alone.
Now I can barely see you drowning in the mist.
I can not help you.
You will have to find your own way.

The Reflection
[Back to top]
By Cindi
Twilight settles as I stare in the mirror.
There is no one there that I know.
What happened to the child, whose heart floated like a
butterfly.
When the summer night's warm breeze touched her face?
What happen to the teenager whose laughter and vitality.
Soared with the coming adventure of life?
What happened to the young woman, feeling the softness of
the newborn child.
Loved with such honesty and trust?
They had been me, but they were no longer to be seen.
What happened to this woman staring back at me in the
mirror?
Tears filled her hours and bitterness filled her heart.
What had she wanted? What had she expected?
She leans closer to the mirror.
Her breath clouds the reflection and the words come from
within.
Truth and honesty.
As the mirror clears, I see "myself" .
I look closer and I am the child, the teenager and the
young woman.
I finally know where to find what I am looking for.
The answer has always been so simple.
I have to look in my own heart.

Dreams [Back
to top]
By Cindi
You touched my heart for a brief moment.
Dreams passing by one another, stopping to meet.
We touched as lovers touch.
We talked, we laughed.
But dreams end and reality returns.
I never knew you.
Your eyes no longer meet my eyes.
The conversation grows silent.
Stranges disappointed as the moment fades.
The excitement becomes calm.
The dreams pass with only a backward glance.

Love [Back
to top]
By Wolfie
Love is all there is it is a moment's wonder an ending
of time
Love is eternal never forgotten only misplaced
For we tread in this life creating illusions of
separation of pain of darkness of despair of hatred
Only to remember... and we listen to the whispers in the
wind and what we hear is what we've always known
We have created the illusions in order to experience and
reawaken to Love...
I remember our bond I remember our oneness and unity with
all that is...
I remember that I do unto myself
I remember that I am you and you are me and I smile and I
laugh
Such is the way of Love

The Puzzle
[Back to top]
By Cindi
My mind whirls.
Lies steal my reality and numb my senses.
Pieces of the puzzle are missing.
Think, think, think.
Every word said.
Every action taken.
My mind fits in pieces that are misshapen.
Caught in the obsession of clarity.
Drowning in confusion and deceit.
I lean back and rest my weary mind.
God, please help me solve the puzzle.
Help me put all the pieces back together.
Let me know the difference between.
All the lies and all the truths.
I cannot do it alone.
Peace and serenity caress me.
My body and soul are bathed in their embrace.
Quiet and calm soften the confusion.
As the ultimate solution finds acceptance in my mind.
I gather the pieces from the table and give them to God.
How simple.
The puzzle was not mine to solve.

To light
your way home [Back to top]
By ShadowDove
In the dreary hours
of your darkest night,
when you are lost
and so alone.
When confusion is the smoke
swirling through your mind,
and fear is the murky river
flowing through your soul.
When your eyes are filled with visions
of broken dreams, and you run
blinded by the emptiness
of your aching heart.
When you cry the bitter tears
of loneliness, and your flesh
burns with desire to feel
just one loving touch.
When the weight of hopelessness
brings you to your knees,
and you are too weary
to go on, alone, in the dark.
You will hear a voice, so far but
yet so near. Whispered words,
words of love and comfort
only you can understand.
"Stand, My Precious One,
stand, and look around
There in the distance.
a brightly burning light."
A candle flame flickering
in the wind of your despair.
Yet burning steady, the
light of my love for you.
To give you hope, and
light the way along the path
your heart must take.
The light of my soul,
...........…..to light your way home.

The Velvet Sofa [Back
to top]
By CindiI looked in the window at
the love inside.
The room was bright, warm and she sat on a velvet sofa.
He walked over to her and touched her hand.
I walked home. The room was dark and cold.
I sat on the on the only chair in the room.
It was made of wood.
He walked over to me. I do not love you, He said.
But I cannot leave, I am a prisoner of your sadness.
Alone in the darkened room I listen to my world change as
the door closed.
It was over.
My hand ran over the arm of the chair.
The wood was smooth and cool.
The room was quiet.
I walked over and opened the drape.
The light of the new day touched my face.
I looked at the barren room, it was my life.
I looked at the wooden chair, it was my love.
Today I am too tired, but maybe tomorrow.
Yes tomorrow I will start to fill the room.
And when the room is done.
I will search for a velvet sofa.

Possession
is 9/10 Of the Law [Back to top]
By Cindi
GET OUT OF WAY!!!!
Here he comes. Move aside.
His is the center of my universe.
My reason for being, my heart, my soul.
My thoughts, my opinions.
Look at him, isn't he wonderful.
How could I ever ask for more.
And the best part is that he is mine.
Mine, all mine.
He has no job you say.
Well no one is perfect.
He drinks, I can stop that.
He chases other women.
Where did you hear that?
With enough love I can conquer.
I can change and I can control
With enough love he will be everything I ever wanted.
And besides he's needs me.
Need I say more.

The Addiction
[Back to top]
By Cindi
Secrets and darkness are where I dwell.
I am a prisoner in the garden of others.
Surrounded by mountains of white snow.
Rivers the color of amber.
Watching as they taste of forbidden fruit.
Lies are the chains that encircle my soul.
Deceit is my cell.
I hide in the shadows
Stealing pleasure from my captures.
Unable to break free from the darkness
Truth is the key, but it is what I fear most.
In the light, I cannot hide.
In the light my captures cannot follow.
They are only visions of the darkness.
They are only creations of my secrets.
The darkness is warm and familiar.
I know it well.
In the light I would be exposed and naked.
Forced to see only my image.
Forced to let my captures go and to stand alone.

Our Journey
[Back to top]
By Wolfie
This ship symbolizes the beginning
of our journey
place it on your shelf and
remember...
Remember the raging storms
that tried to, without mercy, sink us
remember the obstacles
that appeared out of nowhere
in their attempt to destroy us
Now remember the warmth of the sun
that came shortly thereafter to soothe us
the colorful rainbows
that gave us joy and delight,
faith and courage
This ship has been
sailing for two years
and although it has battled many storms
it only seems to get stronger and even more beautiful
This ship is just beginning its journey
there is so much more to see
and I look forward to where it takes us
for I know that calm seas are ahead
We are each on a deep journey of our soul
striving to be all we are meant to be
and I feel together
on this ship
we will arrive

Walk with
me [Back to top]
By Cindi
Walk with me.
And I will show you tinker toys and baby dolls.
Tricycles and bicycles
Dandelions used to make wishes.
Warm summer nights and snow ball fights.
The cool grass between your toes.
Mud pies and fireflies.
And fire works in the sky.
Walk with me.
And I will show you crayons and chalk.
School bells, days of show and tell.
Friends walking hand in hand.
Notes passed in study hall and volley ball.
The great black boards on the wall.
Walk with me.
And I will show you giggling girls and shy boys.
Soft glances and school dances.
The sweetness of first love.
Bells to change classes and slips to get passes.
And lockers filled to the brim.
Long halls and games of basketball.
And cheerleaders leading the chants.
Graduation and ovations.
As we step into the world.
Walk with me.
And I will show you wedding rings and bridal veils.
Vows exchanged and promises made.
For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer.
Baby booties and feeding duties.
Late nights wishing for sleep.
Dirty hands, canceling plans.
Diapers and laundry to do.
Walk with me.
And I will show you being Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny
and the Tooth Fairy.
Buses to catch and lunches to pack.
Tummy aches and boogie men who only come at night.
Scrapped knees and car keys.
And late nights walking the floor.
New questions asked and never looking back.
As they leave the safety of your arms.
Walk with me.
And I will show you that life constantly changes.
Vows broken and words spoken.
The battles that no one can win.
Angry mates and court dates.
Property divided and papers signed.
Letting go and restarting slow.
Learning who you are.
Walk with me.
And I will show you reading glasses and new lines on your
brow.
Silver streaks and joints that creak.
And grandchildren on your knee.
Everything ages as life turns the pages.
Thank you for walking with me.

Life,
By Wolfie [Back to top] I and my father are one. I go through
the fields aimlessly, searching, knowing I will arrive at
my destination. I look at the tress, the birds, the
beauty of God's creation. It is beautiful and I feel a
oneness with all of life.
I stumble, I fall. Rocks are at my feet and I cannot
seem to stand straight. I feel blind. I shout but nobody
hears me. Nobody knows I am here for I have travelled
alone. I see the cluds coming but I try to run away. I do
not want to feel the rain on my body and see the
darkness, which is following me, trying to engulf me. I
continue to shout and there is nobody there.
On my journey I come across a man. He points me in a
direction so I go. There was something in his eyes - I
trusted and I continued walking. The path is endless and
there seems no end. I could have sworn that I would have
reached the end by now. I cannot go on! The pain, the
loneliness, the isolation, the evil and rain storm
following me is too much to bear. I cry.
I give up and surrender to whatever awaits me. I am
ready to die and I do not care anymore. I don't see
beauty anymore. I don't see the birds anymore. All I see
is pain. I succumb to it - nothing matters anymore.
It is then, that an inner voice beckons me - I listen.
Everything I am searching for - all of my answers - are
already within me. I am reminded that I am one with my
God. We are not separate but one. If I can just sit
quietly and listen and, most of all, trust, then the
doors of heaven will open. I will understand, I will
know.
I am now silent. I now listen. I now trust and know
that all is well. I have peace. I have serenity and, most
of all, I know the truth and that truth is that I and my
father are one. I am a perfect child of God and I know my
Truth. My Truth sets me free. Again, I enjoy the birds,
the trees, all of life has to offer. And it is beautiful
and welcoming. I see beauty in all I see and I am
free....as free as the birds....for I know that the birds
and I are one.

Christ Consciousness,
By Wolfie [Back to top]
Christ Consciousness is beautiful. I have such love
within myself today - I act like a child - everything is
so new and lovely. I can't help but smile at everybody,
for I see the Christ flourishing within them. I chuckle,
giggle, laugh. I can't help it for the Christ within me
is springing forth like a beautiful flower. I have
goosebumps because It's such a miracle!!!
This flower almost died. She needed love but didn't
know where to find it. She screamed but nobody heard her.
She was so wilted and I can't help feel for that lost
flower and the pain she needed to endure to finally see
that nobody OUT THERE was going to give her what she
needed. She tried everything but nothing filled her. She
was dying, but the Christ within her was not ready to go.
The Christ within her gave her the strength she needed to
help her see that she alone was going to have to feed
herself. She did, and she started to come back to life.
It has been a long road to recovery for this beautiful
flower but she has finally blossomed into the beautiful
flower she was meant to be.
I feel so full, so loved and so absolutely free. I
look into other peoples eyes and it's a mirror. Their
smmile and the sparkle in their eye fills me up with such
happiness. It is a happiness I have never known in this
lifetime. I was to dance a million dances. I want to
climb the highest mountain. I want to continue to reach
new heights. I see beauty everywhere and it's great! LOVE
conquers all. The more I give to others, the more I give
to myself. Selfless acts are so wondrous. There is no
need to tell a soul, for the universe knows. The universe
knows everything and is everything. Oh, how happy I am!
Love.....what a wonderful feeling! The Christ within me
is so happy and proud! I cry for joy not pain! Yes!!

A poem for my Girlfriend
[Back to top]
By steve02
A simple poem to express my love
for my g/f whom I get a feeling - this just doesn't sink
in all the way. Comment on your feelings you get from
this poem? I have many more which I write exclusivly for
my g/f...
I love you enough That I want you to be happy You know
better than I What you need, And I urge you to seek it
Without fear
I love you enough That I want you feel free. I know a
person must belong To themself first, Before they can
share themself With another...
I love you enough To respect and accept your right To
be the unique person you are. The differences between us,
When used in a loving way, Can be a bond that draws us
Closer.
I love you enough That I am willing to share you With
others. I don't ask for all your time, Just some time for
us And a place in your heart.
I love you enough That I want to live with you Always.
For in you, I have what I need most, And you are where I
belong.
