Vanilla Pod
Smell the sweet aroma of vanilla in the air
Sensually magnetic; more than you can bare
Wishing growth was closer; with every breath you take
Believing that with patience; it will all be worth the wait
You follow the correct procedures
Sit back and watch it grow
But watching makes you nervous
You simply have to know
Then you start to question
Do you really want?
The sensually magnetic
Sweet vanilla pod
Perhaps the inside is tainted
An illusion contained within
When you crack the exterior
Will the vanilla pod see the bin?
Time to smell the sweetness
You won't know until you try
An impression that will last forever
The sweet aroma will never die
Hit and Miss
Keep pushing through
Your constant smile
Take a break from the now
For a little while
You understand
The way life is
Sometimes a hit
Sometimes a miss
Change the way
In which you think
Move on forward
Find and seek
Challenge the passion
Within your soul
You cannot simply
Ignore it all
Over the rainbow
Across the stream
You can walk that path
You can find that dream
The universe is big and wide
Meet and greet,enjoy outside
Do not dwell on the things you want
Just make it to that mountain top

Designer clothes is all you know
Designer clothes is all you know
What about the way life really goes?
You fluff your hair and fix your face
But do you hold yourself with grace?
~
You batter those eyes and flaunt that grin
People strive to soothe your whims
Though satisfaction you never find
For your heart is cold and completely blind
~
You roll your eyes when people speak
Contempt for those that are mild and meek
One day your lifestyle could be gone
No more trips to the beauty salon
~
What will you do then?
When your whole world is gone
And the people you have scorned
Are not there to lean on
~
Will you tear apart at the seams?
Then fall flat in a heap?
Or for once in your life
Stand on your own two feet?
~
Stop and take notice
Analyse yourself
There may come a time
When you will need the help

If I Were A Drifting Island
If I were a drifting Island
Moving between two island shores
I would float there in the middle
To prevent the view of war
~
If I were a drifting island
And the launchers were raised to strike
I would grow my island trees so high
Armed forces would lose their line of sight
~
If I were a drifting island
And could see the war ships in the night
I would move throughout the ocean
To block the pathway to the fight
~
If I were a drifting island
My beauty there for all to see
I would grow so lush and vibrant
The army’s would only notice me.
