CHAPTER 1

    Swan Lake

    Beautiful eyes,
    Golden heart,
    Colorful soul,
    We are floating on Swan Lake,
    Smiling,
    Kissing,
    Holding hands,
    So in love with each other,
    It truly shows,
    Pure magic created right from the start,
    I feel it in my body,
    My heart feels so special right now,
    The love of my life is sitting right next to me,
    Holding my hand,
    Staring into my heart and soul,
    Our love has collided,
    Bursting into true happiness,
    Pure love created on Swan Lake,
    A place of peace and tranquility,
    A place of warmth and kindness,
    I step into the beautiful Swan Lake,
    Purifying my spirit with such grace,
    Feeling the power of life and love,
    Embracing a positive spirit,
    Never letting go,
    Beautiful love soars forever at Swan Lake.


    I Love Myself

    Demons tried to destroy my heart,
    People have tried to ruin my spirit,
    But I am still here,
    Standing strong,
    Growing,
    Learning,
    Accepting,
    The past is gone,
    There is no need of bringing it back to life,
    I used to hate my life,
    I used to hate myself,
    Being surrounded with so much negativity,
    Losing my faith in everything that meant so much to me,
    I had to walk away from the evil,
    Embracing the golden heart that God has given me,
    Following his own words,
    Listening to God,
    Opening my heart to the sun.


    Human Nature

    Holding your hand,
    Touching your heart,
    Connecting with your spirit,
    This is human nature,
    Wanting to be loved,
    Wanting to belong,
    Being sad,
    Being happy,
    Being lonely,
    All signs of human nature,
    I have feelings,
    I have emotions,
    I have precious tears that can pierce through any frozen heart,
    Born to be free,
    Born to make mistakes,
    Born to reach my destiny,
    This is human nature.


    Holding On

    Your beauty,
    Your essence,
    Your life,
    I am holding on,
    Never letting go,
    You were a precious gift to me,
    My first love,
    My true love,
    Created from day one,
    Beautiful eyes that stare into my soul,
    A lovely smile that melts my heart every time,
    Our love,
    Our beauty,
    Our foundation,
    Stronger than ever,
    Sending our spirits to the golden stars of heaven,
    Always in my heart,
    Always in my arms,
    Love of my life,
    I am holding on.


    Higher Love

    God is the greatest love,
    God is the highest love,
    Healing my broken heart,
    Blessing me with precious treasures,
    A beautiful mother,
    A heart of gold,
    A loving spirit,
    I praise him everyday,
    A higher love,
    The greatest love,
    Erasing the hate inside of my heart,
    Calming my spirit,
    I stare into God's eyes,
    With tears pouring down my face,
    He touches my heart,
    Bringing me a peaceful feeling that I never felt before,
    A beautiful melody,
    A beautiful love,
    God's love.


    Hearts of Ice

    Those beautiful eyes,
    So lovely,
    So innocent,
    But so cold,
    I feel the bitterness,
    I feel the regret,
    I feel your hostility,
    Your heart is frozen solid,
    A tragic past,
    A long history,
    Endless trail of tears circle around your heart,
    I wish I could melt your pain away,
    Melt your frozen heart,
    Open yourself up to me,
    Let me guide you to the right path,
    I will not hurt you,
    Only love you,
    Only protect you,
    Only cherish you,
    A heart so beautiful but so frozen in ice,
    Let go of the past,
    Let go of the tears,
    Come along this precious journey with me,
    Love again,
    Smile again,
    Be yourself again,
    Trust me,
    I will never hurt you.


    Heart in the sky

    My heart is in heaven,
    Touching every angel in the clouds,
    I am floating,
    I am happy,
    I am at peace,
    With my heart in the sky,
    Sharing my love,
    Sharing my spirit,
    Revealing my heart to God,
    No longer lonely,
    No longer lost,
    I have found a place where I belong,
    With my soul glowing in the sky,
    A beautiful sight to see,
    Shedding tears from every emotion,
    I see the dream,
    I see the glory,
    I know my purpose of life,
    With my heart blooming in the sky,
    Each piece falling into the ocean of heaven,
    The beauty,
    The meaning,
    The moment,
    Heart in the sky.


    Heart of Glass

    Look into my heart,
    A heart of glass,
    Easy to look into,
    Easy to read,
    So much is shown,
    My emotions pouring out,
    Tears flowing so deeply,
    Sometimes I'm strong,
    Sometimes I break into pieces,
    Natural faults of a human being,
    A cruel world I live in,
    Not always right,
    Not always fair,
    All I can do is accept and move on,
    Heart of glass,
    Growing stronger day by day,
    Showing true beauty in the eyes of God,
    He accepts me,
    He favors me,
    He has forgiven me,
    A tarnished heart baptized in the ocean of faith,
    Cleansed of hate and sin,
    I am a new person,
    Carrying the most precious jewel of all,
    A heart full of love.


    Heart and Spirit

    My frozen tears,
    Melting inside of your heart,
    Never thought I could love anyone again,
    Being afraid of the past,
    Not knowing what the future holds,
    I want to live,
    I want to grow,
    I want to love,
    My eyes were so cold and bitter,
    Unwilling to give anyone a chance,
    Being lonely with no heart to share,
    Seeing your face for the first time,
    I was awaken by your positive spirit,
    Your beautiful smile made my heart come alive,
    Your lovely touch melted the frozen tears in my eyes,
    A precious jewel standing right in front of me,
    Bringing light into the darkness of my heart and soul,
    A true angel indeed,
    Never felt or seen anything so beautiful,
    I am awaken by your love,
    Seeing the journey of my life continue,
    Our love will guide us,
    Our hearts will bond us,
    Our spirits will shine forever in heaven.


    Heart and Melody

    My heart plays a lovely melody,
    Every beat,
    Every moment,
    Every season,
    Reaching out to the angels of heaven,
    A song,
    A melody,
    Touching the hearts of so many people,
    I dream of a beautiful heaven,
    With angels playing their golden harps,
    Connecting with my spirit,
    Awakening my soul,
    Healing my entire body,
    A song of heart and melody,
    Sacred words of God travel around the entire world,
    I feel the emotion,
    I feel the warmth,
    I feel the glory,
    Breaking free from the poison and negativity,
    Songs of heart and melody,
    Sending my spirit into eternal bliss.


    Hate

    A powerful emotion,
    A deadly emotion,
    With so much aftermath,
    The destruction of our hearts,
    A soul will never make it to heaven with hatred attached to it,
    A black cold heart will never be blessed,
    Being bitter never works,
    Being unforgiving never works,
    Remember what you're true purpose is for being here on this earth,
    Not to please others,
    But to please God,
    Always follow the golden road that he leads you to,
    Never cross over to the lake of fire and despair,
    The devil doesn't want to see us happy,
    Good will always overcome evil,
    Evil has destroyed so many people and things,
    It is a curse,
    It is poison,
    Let the bitterness go,
    Let the ugliness go,
    Embrace the love and heart of God,
    He will never fail you,
    He has never failed me,
    I am forever thankful for his blessings,
    Destroy the hate,
    Create the love,
    Never leave the golden road,
    It will lead you to your destiny.


    Life is precious

    People have come in and out of my life,
    Some left scars,
    Some left beautiful memories,
    Never knowing what to expect from anyone these days,
    I've been in love,
    I've been out of love,
    So many emotions soar through my heart as I remember those days,
    Leaving me sentimental,
    Leaving me lonely,
    Picking up the pieces from the aftermath,
    Even after all that,
    Life is precious,
    I cherish every moment,
    I cherish every breath,
    Embracing the good and bad elements of life and love,
    Meeting total strangers who had such beautiful hearts,
    Learning so much from other people who have been in their own
    struggles,
    I share my tears with the angels of heaven and earth,
    Revealing my innocence,
    Revealing my humanity,
    Life is precious,
    Through the struggles,
    Through the tears,
    A rainbow will appear after the bitter storm,
    Believe and Trust,
    Never lose the faith,
    Life is precious.


    Letter of Love

    Dear Love,
    I am writing you this letter,
    Letter of love,
    Revealing my heart to you,
    Expressing my love for you,
    We are two stars shining in heaven,
    Glowing so bright in the midnight sky,
    Always thinking of love,
    Always thinking of you,
    My heart melts every time I hold your hand,
    Your eyes stare into my soul,
    I reveal my life story to you,
    You reveal your darkest secrets,
    Bonding us forever,
    Never to be broken,
    Always sacred and beautiful,
    My love,
    My dear,
    My sweetheart,
    Love always.


    Innocence Lost

    Eyes are open,
    The picture is quite clear,
    I have seen and felt so much,
    Endless tears,
    Broken pieces of a golden heart,
    Innocence lost,
    Living in an environment that almost poisoned me,
    Being around people with only evil agendas toward me,
    Blind and naïve,
    Lonely and desperate,
    I lost my innocence to a true reality,
    Didn't know who I was,
    Didn't know my true purpose,
    I was lost in this tragic kingdom,
    Until I saw the light of God,
    Purifying my dirty body,
    Full of sin and regret,
    Heavens crystal blue waters baptize my old soul,
    Feeling brand new,
    Ready to break out into the world and be myself,
    Leaving all the dead memories behind,
    Innocence was lost,
    But I have found myself on this journey.


    I Wish

    Pain and regret,
    Buried deep in my heart,
    Refusing to let go,
    Refusing to let me forget,
    All I want is peace,
    Memories are still raw,
    Like a movie playing over and over in my head,
    I wish the movie would end,
    The past is gone,
    The moment is gone,
    I can never get it back,
    I wish I had wings to fly away and never be seen again,
    Sad words but so true,
    So much hurt in this world,
    People walking around with empty hearts,
    Not caring if they live or die,
    I wish I could disappear sometimes,
    Rise up to the beautiful stars with the angels,
    Living forever in the midnight sky of heaven,
    Shining,
    Glowing,
    Smiling,
    I wish.


    Cruel Society

    The world that I live in,
    A cruel society,
    Racist and prejudice,
    Refusing to accept change,
    I will not fall into this black hole,
    Everyone deserves to be loved,
    Everyone deserves to be accepted,
    No matter what color you are,
    No matter if you are gay or straight,
    No matter what religion you believe in,
    Cruel society,
    Shutting people out,
    Leaving them behind,
    Being narrow minded,
    There are just some things in this world that I will never understand,
    Leaves a sad feeling in my heart,
    Living in a world that is so broken,
    It is hard to be accepted and loved in this cruel society,
    But I continue to live,
    No matter how much it hurts sometimes,
    Always love and never hate,
    I am living in a cruel society.


    Colorful Love

    A beautiful rainbow appears,
    Revealing so many colors,
    Colors of love,
    Filling the earth with so much beauty,
    Erasing the darkness,
    Entering the light,
    Negativity is finally gone,
    Love has taken over,
    Coloring the world with so much spirit,
    Touching the lonely hearts,
    Melting the cold hearts,
    Opening so many eyes,
    Always love,
    Never hate,
    Embrace the priceless beauty that is in front of you.


    Melting Tears

    My fragile heart,
    Filled with frozen tears,
    So many emotions stored up inside,
    God looks into my heart and finds a way to melt away my pain,
    The silence,
    The anger,
    The resentment,
    All fading into the wind,
    Dark emotions finally leaving my body,
    My heart is now at peace,
    No longer carrying feelings of hate,
    I have to let it all go,
    There is always light at the end of the tunnel,
    I embrace love and freedom,
    With my spirit soaring high to the beautiful sun,
    There is hope,
    There is peace,
    There is happiness,
    Never hold on to past hurt,
    Spread your wings and fly to new beginnings.


    Love of My Life

    Your beautiful eyes melt my heart,
    Your gentle words make me weak,
    Your soft touch brings peace to my body,
    Two hearts falling in love,
    Great passion erupts from the both of us,
    True love making created between us,
    I feel your heart with me,
    I know that I am in love,
    My heart makes no mistakes,
    You are the love of my life,
    My heart blossoms every time I am with you,
    Rose pedals from heaven fall upon us,
    We have found true love,
    Our hearts are no longer empty,
    Complimenting each other so beautifully,
    With your smile melting my heart every time,
    A priceless moment in my life,
    We are not perfect,
    We have our faults and flaws,
    But our hearts belong together,
    Two angels spreading their wings,
    We rise up to the heaven skies,
    Shining with the stars forever,
    Love of my life.


    Lost Soul

    I see the world changing,
    People becoming so bitter and cold,
    Becoming followers and not leaders,
    Losing themselves in this tragic kingdom,
    My soul has become lost,
    Not knowing where it belongs,
    I feel negativity everywhere that I go,
    Where is the peace?
    Where is the harmony?
    Where is the love?
    All lost in a changing world,
    My heart clings on to hope as I search for that special place,
    A place where I am loved and accepted,
    Being comfortable in my own skin,
    A hard battle sometimes,
    But it's well worth the fight,
    Never back down,
    Never give up on your hopes and dreams,
    Your heart will always lead you in the right direction,
    Your soul will soon follow,
    I am no longer lost.
