"Destined Minds"

VANILLA COMES MY WAY

Yesterday , Vanilla filled the room
as love walked out the door
so to say goodby
to what was and is no more

Warmth and simple pleasures
and your turned up smile
and my own actions
the pure I made so vile

Yesterday - now lonely times
filled with regret
full of the misdeeds
that I alone beget

and if "future" decides
to visit me again
a new form present I am
sure he will see

and perhaps let vanilla
walk through this door once more
and fill my senses with pleasing love
for the lessons I have learned

and let vanilla come my way
