The Island | Poem

 
 
 

THE ISLAND
 
There is an island
Filled with magic
A place known to no man
Which lives in the kind heart
Of a women
Her heart is filled
With a mystical force
No man has ever known
This island floats deep inside
It is a beautiful place
Every island is different
To the person who owns it
Every woman's personnal fantasy
Is enclosed on this island
Dreams of her future home
Where her future love lives and breathes
It is a wonderful place
And I long to be there.
