Why cannot I see the mystery
              Hiding in your eyes
            
For I had found it once before
            
On a brief september morn.
            
I know I have not been faithful
            
Or else it would be there
            
But alas it's no where near,
            
You porcelain ivory eyes.
            
Mystery is like the unicorn
            
There but never seen.
            
It skips around like fairy wings
            
But never can be caught.
            
It lives in a world of dreams and myths
            
Where few are able to enter,
            
For when it's sought it's never found
            
But when not is all around.
            
Something is watching
            
But what can they can they be?
            
Doorways into space,
            
Portals into time?
            
Not moving an inch
            
Staring at you?
            
No, peering into
            
Your heart's pure content
            
For none can decieve
            
Those celestial globes
            
As they search for the one,
            
With the purest of souls.
            
Shining in the mist
            
Breaking through the dawn
            
The light is emanating
            
Into the darkest gloomy soul.
            
It changes all perspectives
            
Of our torn and shattered world
            
For that is it's only job
            
The unicorn's golden horn.
            
When I'm lonely and forlorn
            
I know someone is there,
            
Watching me and following me
            
My secret guardian angel.
            
She stands alone
            
Bright and clear
            
A scentry in the wind
            
I cannot see
            
Or breath her name
            
No one really can
            
For she is magical
            
And will not let down the guard
            
So when I feel her watching me
            
A smile invades my mouth
            
Cause though I cannot see her near
            
I know the unicorn is there.
