Eye Of The Beholder Magazine:Issue One,Part 1

 First of all I would like to state that Eye of the Beholder was born as a vehicle for my own poetic vision. I decided to expand it to showcase various talents as well.The various talents showcased in this magazine are from every walk of life and every genre of the arts. That said, I thank you all for your interest.

Aspiring model C. Rayne Brenner has asked that she have a section in this first issue, she is a personal friend so needless to say I was happy to oblige.

Poetry

My dear readers, I have decided to share, in the first section of this magazine some of my own poetry as well. Here is one of them it is called

Quickened Hope

Another box of memories,
broken hearts and lying eyes
I can't count the nights I've cried,
A burned up box of memories
and a thousand shattered dreams
I keep wishing and hoping for better days

Dear those who've ever been terrified
lost,dazed and confused
I'm here to say I've been there with you
I seek that One genuine soul that Loves me
That one that Loves me true,that one I can Love too

Will she find me in my sanity or in my eccentricities
I hope in both,she will embrace all of me
I would not shun,the truth is we all have abundant flaws
But Love reaches beyond those

I think back on many years of bitter memories
I want that one that can help me break those chains
and burn away the tragedies and pain

Someone to love me for me

Thank you all for checking out the first section of this publication,be sure to return for section two.it will definitely be worthwhile. Given that this is the first issue, it will contain mostly my own art and poems, later though I would welcome more contributors.

Any and All welcome, note however that I will review all submissions before publication. Contributors of course will keep the rights to all their work. This publication is simply to help those that seek to have their work exposed to a mass audience.
