I realize I have posted this before, but this is a repost for a special reason...IT'S GOING TO BE PUBLISHED...and I might possibly win a small sum of 1,000 dollars...but more importantly...IT'S GOING TO BE PUBLISHED, anyways, they liked it so I hope you do.

Is it in the heart or in the soul?
What is the point the final goal
Is it of the spirit or of the mind?
And why must it be so hard to find
If there is beginning is there an end
If there is does ones heart mend
A simple yet painful grief
Stealing ones soul like a thief
Giving the illusion of perfection
Bleeding the soul without detection

yeah it is sorta, if I win the contest part I can get 1,000 dollars or 10,000 dollars. But even if I don't it will still be published. You can go to www.poetry.com and type in "Tony Johnson" I'm the only one with Ryan in there too...you'll see What is love? in there. Anyways thanx for reading it!
