Best Granted Poems

Don’t take for granted the love of this woman,
the wonderful one who has stolen your heart
Cherish your every moment together,
miss her the hours that you are apart

Stand and protect her in armor clad fashion,
show her the sun when there’s rain in the sky
Walk hand in...

In you alone my mind is rest
For from only you I seek comfort
In my back and front
You're the ultimate strength
And within my voicing
And all my day's doing
I glorify you
Why am I fill with gloomy gladness?
Since whoever believes in you
And dwells within your words
Shall swims in...

I took the sun for granted,
when I saw it in your eyes
For nothing was more magical
on any dawning skies

Reflections filled with wonder,
tinted shades of sapphire blue
A captivating vision,
so enchanted was my view

For even when it’s cloudy,
chilly rains fall from above
The heavens hold the wishes
of your...

Take Me For Granted

Maybe I'm just crazy
or my views are slightly slanted.
But I love when you don't have to ask.
When you take me for granted.

I need it when you're needing me
when push comes down to shove.
I love when you take it for granted
that I'll show...

I deferred the words " I love you"
Until the morrows light.
Words, that from my heart,
I felt impressed upon to say.

For sure, "I love you",
Would have best been said that night.
Still I reserved ownership,
For perhaps some abstinent day.

Instead, from my vast reserve,
Grating words were launched to...

At the end of day, when the sun sinks low
and my love whispers 'good night' in my ear
I see in his eyes, silver moonbeans aglow
and know all I'll ever need is with me here

It's a magical moment when I catch him staring
a look of want...

No sound of a voice could be heard
The sight of the Self quite blurred
As silence into disarray dissolved
And no single truth could be discerned
I need to rise above all that I feel
Reach an inner state of mystic zeal.

A busy bee and a word weaver

Easier Than Loving Me

You could steal a star out of the sky
make rain fall upside down.
Or sit yourself in a corner
in a building that's built round.

You can rope your own tornado
or walk across the sea.
You could dig a hole to China
easier than loving me.

Something strange...

You call her without warning, late one Friday night,
She says “Give me half-an hour…,” and she leaves on the light.
‘Comes the morning after, eggs and bacon, coffee black—
You’ve taken her for granted, but she always takes you back.

She isn’t quite as flashy as those others...

How street lamps cast a pallid light,
    Which bleeds, through this angst I bestow
    On thoughts dim … flamed by an invite
    To leave a dwelling, soul of woe
    While ambling far ...

Snakes in loose tongues
Proclaim one message, doing the opposite
When lie bangs and sty clangs
Identify and typify the hypocrite

Who declares faith in one moment
Swims in seas of sin
Inviting the ferment of torment
The hypocrite in his din

Can’t shove away
Despite claims to sainthood
That conscience can’t slay
As sin neighbourhood

Captures...

brighter afternoon
after the solar eclipse
four eyes put away
as couples are high-fiving
emphasizing  photographs

heigh-ho back to screen
first to post solar eclipse
along with the throngs
lucky strike of sunshine gold
its older than the black hills

the sun soon will set
but will all appreciate
the normal darkness?
sunset taken for granted
without retinopathy

You think that you know me
But you don't know at all
Every day you say your sorry
After that I fall
I hate it when you lie
You think your doing good
When all you cause is pain
Just tell me that you hate me
So my life won't be in vein......

We don't appreciate electricity until it's gone.
Especially at night when our lights can't be turned on.
Most of us take electricity for granted until we have a blackout.
We don't realize how important it is until we have to do without.

Electricity is important, for many people it...

Dick Burton examining Liz Taylor's rectal sphincter for blood.
      That's love.
            Sexual love. Pornographic, anthropological, primate love.
