| TOMORROW NEVER COMES.
Tomorrow, I am wearing my Barbie Doll faces
and my body is curving, in all the right places
I am competent, slim, elegant and tall
I'm breaking young hearts, of men who fall.
*
Tomorrow I am worldly and famous with riches
I beat "Joan Colins", as the queen of bitches
I am dripping diamonds in a field of rocks
and leaving eyes hungry and open in shock
*
Tomorrow I am lavishly gifted, in arts and demure
With a grand mansion of gold, by the oceans shore
I am soaring across the celestial dimension
winging my way, as 007's intention
*
Tomorrow I have come to him bearing a bud
and he, words so eloquent, in language of love
Alas, blurred awakening, my senses are numb
Woefully aware, Tomorrow, never will come!

HE TOOK ALL OF MY EMOTIONS AWAY
(Villanelle Style)
He took all of my emotions away
He said it was for my own good
Depression is a major killer today
After all, learnt his truth is to relay
So I do as I'm told, I suppose I should
He took all of my emotions away
Emotionless life is a stranger way
I cannot cry or sigh, I wish I could
Depression is a major killer today
Strolling in a trance from day to day
Glassy eyed, a brain built like wood
He took all of my emotions away
No more fun or games can I play
Life from a plastic bottle isn't good
Depression is a major killer today
I feel so numb, my reactions delay
It's Doc's fault. I am not understood
He took all of my emotions away
Depression is a major killer today.

"THE EARTH HAS FEELINGS TOO"
I am Mother Nature's creation
I am made up of gasses, minerals and nations
I have served mankind for many years and
I too, have troubles, frustration's and fears.
~*~
I feel pain, when a 'For Sale' sign is hammered into my soil
I cry out when a hole is dug, by those who toil
I shriek when a bomb makes a new crater
I choke when a fire is lit by a traitor.
~*~
I feel pain, when you drive over me with a truck and a car
I gasp for air under concrete and tar
I weep when I bathe in foul water, that's soggy
I sigh when a tree is cut, like a limb from a body.
~*~
I feel pain, when weighed down by buildings too tall
I howl when you take from me, my life's resources, all
I smell strongly, my doom, is beckoning
I'll vent my revenge one day, then man can study this reckoning!
