Not Good Enough

Too young, not old enough
Not so rock, not so tough

Just a little girl in your eyes
Is it my age that you despise?
I know I can be mature and wise
As I am a woman, in disguise

No electric guitar, no music band
No rock cds, no past that sang

Just a little girl to your mind
Only a few years, not far behind
You turn me away because I'm 'not your kind'
No criminal past, no warnings, no fines

I don't like tattoos
I don't like to smoke
I like life as it is
Whereas with you it's a joke

Just a little girl, that's what you think
Like a small overloaded boat that's struggles then sinks
I'm bad, unlucky, a possessed one, a jinx
Not worthy of conversation, a smile or a wink

Just because I am a little girl that's only inside
I am a woman, a fact nature cannot hide
Even though you loathe me I have my dignity and pride
For I know one day I'll have you by my side

Heaven Sent

They Look like angels and are soft to touch
Why is it we love these creations so much??

Their laughter is beauty,their tears are sweet
For these small beings are a pleasure to meet

Their eyes shine like dimonds,their skin gleams like gold
As delicate as glass which you crave to hold

Their hands are so tiny ,as well as their toes
A beautiful legend forms as they grow

Their noses are like buttons,their hair like silk
So dainty like a water-nymph,sitting upon a hill

Their expressions are always happy,their cry hums a tune
They are a gift,of Sun,Stars & Moons

Their brain is so empty,of knowledge to share
But one day they,will grow up to care

Their innocence is precious,as well as their life
They avoid violence,as it cuts like a knife

Nothing can match these things i feel so strongly about
I would have a million,no exceptions,no doubts

Nothing is prettier,even an animal wild
Than these blessings,this beautiful child

Living A Dream

I look across the room.
I see you there
You stand out from the crowd like a swan in a wild flock of geese
Like a ruby perched independently amongst diamonds

I walk over to you slowly, anxiously wondering what your reaction will be
You smile
Your teeth are as white as pearls
Perfectly formed like an angles face
Like a new-born baby.

You intimidate me
I try to speak
But when I open my mouth I'm speechless
As silent as a whisper
As quiet as a mouse.

I don't know what to say
My brain seems drained and empty
Unfilled like an African child's stomach
Like a deserted, aged house

You look puzzled
Puzzled but pretty
As mystified as a young child in a strange place
As questioning as the weather

I ask you to dance
My insides rattling with nerves
Shaking like the branches of a tree on a windy day
Trembling like a lonely and lost animal

I await your reply
You say yes and I feel my insides transform into butterflies
It feels magical
As thrilling as a memorable gift
As supernatural as a miracle.

We begin to dance slowly
I feel your soft, gentle breathing in my ear
As pleasant as a sweet smell of nature
As delicate as life itself.

I see you gazing at me
Your eyes are beautiful
Like the flicker of a candle flame
Like a rose facing the sun on a hot summers day

I notice you leaning towards me
A rush of ecstasy takes over my body
Like a child receiving a birthday present
As exciting as a young woman becoming a mother.

I feel your lips touch mine
My enthusiasm turns to helplessness
As defenceless as a soldier without weapons
As vulnerable as a rebellious and hesitant child

My heart beats faster
I can feel it thumping in my chest
As fast and furious as a fierce jaguar hunting its prey
As violent as breaking glass shattering everywhere

I feel you pull away
You smile at me and your eyes twinkle
Sparkling like a silver star hundreds of light-years away
Like a reflection of the moon on a lake at night

You embrace me in a hug
I feel warm and loved
As appreciated as an orphaned child in a foster family
As respected and valued as an endless friendship.

I feel as though my life will never end
As everlasting as the fathomless blue ocean
As eternal passion between two lovers

You kiss me again
I feel your fingers slowly crawling up my back
As elegantly as a ballerina on tiptoe
Slithering like a snake in the tall grasses of the savannah

We leave together hand in hand
I fell connected to you
Like fanatics to their heroes
Like heroes to their fanatics

My life feels complete
I feel myself climbing a stairway and seeing golden gates at the top beckoning me towards them
I feel a door closing inside me
My life is perfect, I can ask for no more
I am grateful for my gift of life
I love you

Beautiful Friendship

From the first touch to the fix of an eye
The first hug, the first one to cry
Secrets shared, pastimes bared
We are one my friend

When we touch sparks fly up my fingers
When we hug I stand and linger
Hearts are held, all is well
We are one my friend

When I'm asleep I hear your voice calling
It carries throughout until the morning
Friendship sold, troubles are told
We are one my friend

When you talk about good it makes me smile
I screw up my face if you say something vile
Jokes passed on, conversation strong
We are one, my friend

When I look in the mirror I see your eyes
I feel your existence that shall never die
Your spirit's in my heart, we will never part
We are one, my friend

We are untied as one together
I know we'll be friends always and forever I'd love thee, to stay with me
We are one, my friend

A Sailor At Sea

There he stands looking over the rail of the ship at the horizon, watching the sun set, the moon emerge, eclipsing the sun and casting a trail of silver streaks across the ocean.

Day after day he roams the ship, searching for his eternal love, but the sailor cannot find her and bids goodnight to himself,alone at night.

He dreams he is with the person he loves most. he feels her spirit, he reaches out his hand, then takes it back realising that he's alone and waiting to be reunited with her.

Soft waves beat gently against the side of the ship, causing a slight bounce as it moves along its steady course. The sailor cannot keep his emotions to himself; he feels fixated and parallel to her. Slow and silent tears roll down his cheeks, he misses her presence.

Nothing can stop the sailor loving this girl
Nothing can stop him missing her
Nothing can stop him looking for her
Nothing can stop his endless love

As new people board the ship the sailor stands silently. people witness the sailor looking for his love, many of whom tried to help him but with no luck.

For the last century he's felt the need to search but the girl will never emerge, the sailor himself doesn't know its too late, but nothing can stop the lonely shipmate.

God Bless You Michael

Looking back at my life, I know it hasn't been perfect, but I appreciate my life now more than anything. Life is given as a gift, which most people take for granted, I used to and I wish I hadn't. I realise now that my life should have been lived, like it is being lived now. My soul is free from hatred, jealousy or envy. If you had described my present life to me a year ago and told me that's how I was going to live from then on, I would have laughed at you.

I now know that life is like a glass ball balancing on an uneven surface. If that surface is rocked, even the slightest bit, that ball will fall and break. Life should be lived the way you want it to. Believe in your life, believe you can be happy and live freely from fear, jealousy,hatred and spite.

I wasn't born into violence
I wasn't born into crime
I wish I knew what
Made me change when I was nine

I went from being a child
To something I was not
Mature, experienced and wise
My childhood I forgot

My life at home was decent
I had most things I desired
A meal on the table
A bed for when I was tired

I didn't think about Africa
Or the children dying there
Living in poverty
I didn't even care

They struggled for their life
Something that came easy to me
I was selfish, greedy,self-centered
My life was so carefree

I had the things I needed
Friends, a family, a home
Someone to cook my meals
Someone to talk to when I was alone

I listened to modern music
I wore trendy clothes
I had no individuality
The thing i required the most

I think it was a fear I had
To be myself, unique
To wear the clothes I wanted
To feel free to speak

I always followed the crowds
I wanted tons of friends Now I know all I need is a few
Cos friendship never ends

my life is like a plant
It blossoms here and there
When I was eleven
The leaves and stalk were bare

In order to impress my 'friends'
I did things I didn't like
I really regret it now I have a life

When I turned 13
My life changed a bit
I wasn't at all prejudice
My torch was finally lit

People used to tease me
Because I have red hair
Now if they say anything
I show them I don't care

I don't know what changed me for the worst
I was really bad
I know what made me a better person
And I am really glad

I asked my parents one day
About the king of the world
"He is an inspiration"
they told their little girl

His songs were so touching
He asked us to Heal The World
Make it a better place
He loved every boy and girl

People often tell lies about him
Like what they did to me
A lie became the truth
Sinners we were made out to be

He talked about animals crying
He talked about the bleeding earth
He talked about children dying
And living life to what its worth

I changed my life dramatically
I know it was for the best
Its all one man and his mind
Michael, I owe you the rest

Michael you have changed my life
You taught me how to care
You taught me what life was
And how I should love to share

You showed me my life was a gift
I could lose anyday
You taught me how to treat it well
No matter what anyone does or says

You inspired me to dance
better then I did before
On-time,dramatic,inventive,kinetic
With more possibilities than the sea shore

You taught me to love nature
As if it was my son
Each tree, each animal, each breath of air
Each shine of the golden sun

You made my life much better
Something I want to thank you for
One day hopefully in person
I cannot thank you more

You truly are an angel
God sent you down from his world
Spread your wings and fly
You have changed this girl

Thank you for inspiring me, I really appreciate it. I know that my life is that glass ball, balancing on that uneven surface, not moving or showing any sings of falling

Thank you for your time, I believe in you and I know that you believe in me. Thank you, I love you Michael, God Bless You and your three beautiful kids. May God watch over you with pride and happiness.

All My Love,
Zoe
