Poem 1

                                          Her heart stirred, she smiled
                                          looking at the face she loved.
                                          His eyes mirrored hope
                                          remembering their lost love
                                          crushed by fate, re-awakened

Poem 2

 Where is the light that lived within,
 Why has the flame of doubt appeared.
 The trees bend slightly in the wind
 Towards darkness, now have you veered.

 Focus on the things dear to you,
 Where is the light that lived within.
 Your day will come before it's through,
 You that have, not died, with sin.

 Deep in your soul, you seek therein
 The pleasures, that should not have been. 
 Where is the light that lived within.
 Questions of how this came and when

 How long have you abandoned life
 What have you done, where have you been,
 Will you choose to remain in strife
 Where is the light, that lived within.
