PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If I were among the roses,

I'd smell so sweet,

If I were a red gumamela,

Attraction would be mine,

But I am among the grasses,

Smell unwanted attraction denied,

I am among the grasses,

Beauty tarnished no life modified.

If I were w white bougonvilla,

I'd be so pure,

If I were a Sampaguita,

I'd be a national name,

But I am among the grasses,

Smell unwanted attraction denied,

I am among the grasses,

Purity blemished no name glorified.

I wish I were what I am not now,

I wish this wish would come true,

I wish I not only have to wish,

But I am a grass and I only may wish.
