Best Take Away Poems
If my tears could clean her pain
And make her hurt no more
Then I will drink every sour
Because of my beloved friend, more for
If the smiles will knock on her door
And the price will be a bit of my ego
I will sacrifice it so
Oh!
If today will clean your sorrow
And give you showers of joy tomorrow
And it will only cost me a penny so hollow
Then I'd throw it in a pit very shallow
I want to take away your tears
I want to bring back my dear
Dear friend, dear friend...
If only you and your smiles again will toast
And it will cost me a bit of my boast
Then I did become the phantom again, a ghost
For you are my coat
And am your cloth
In your joy does mine float
You are my boat
And am your kite
If only your happiness will reach such height
And it will cost me only a bit of my might
Then I will give away the blackness of my hair so bright
And bring the smiles back into your sight
I did fight
If only I have the biceps
I'll fight
If only I could
I'll fight

You throngs of foolish Americans, why could you not see
what motivates Trump and overlook the faults of Hillary?
You were blinded by his lies and the blatant mockery
that he made of 200 years of this country's Democracy.
Trump may have won the Presidency but America loses.
When his backers feel the pain from his inflicted bruises
it'll be too late to cry and whimper over their lame excuses
for electing a chump who absuses his power as he chooses.
In the White House he'll blast new rules on his trumpet...
"If a woman is alive and breathing, go ahead and hump it.
But if she's old and ugly you have my permission to dump it.
Grope women and treat them like they are all strumpets."
Now we have a bimbo as the first lady, Milania, we must call.
Those two in Washington will cause America's downfall.
He speaks of creating new jobs and promises to build a wall
but Trump is the serpent in Eden. On his belly he will crawl.
My comments may not please you, but I still have the right
to speak freely of my convictions, just as any of you might.
It was another moment of infamy, that dark election night
when America empowered a man who will never be contrite.
If you think the bickering is over and all is said and done,
don't be fooled by complacency. Trump is ready for some fun.
He'll smirk because he is a jerk and a lying son-of-a- gun.
I wonder now if he'll scowl and claim "It's rigged, but I still won."

You give to me
But then you take
I suppose that was my mistake
I know now what not to do
And that is ever trust you
I will therefore go on my way
Still saying what I need to say
And live my life free every day
Without you or your devious ways
It’s my life to live and not yours
So you keep to your own chores
And if you have something to say
Then just speak to me on the day
Just don’t leave me wondering why
The reasons you must make me cry
Give don’t take is still my motto
Until at least tomorrow
When I may take and not then give
To you my friendship
DAMO

It was a love that spoke for itself,
as natural as a poem
which grows in a flower
at the end of its rod.
without ever having confessed it,
I have never conjugated the verb to love.
Life goes like this:
we don't know if she goes ahead
or slips through our fingers:
The most beautiful roses fade,
not their beauty,
but through death, which takes everything away.
Today I bury her,
but the words I intended say to her,
will never reach her heart.
Sleeping Beauty,
who knows , if ultimately
the kiss of my thought
will be able to turn times upside down
as well as a film played backwards,
giving the petals the radiance of their colors:
It's a love that speaks for itself,
as natural as a poem,
that you take to your grave.

C'est un amour qui parlait de lui-même,
aussi naturel qu'un poème
qui se développe en fleur
au bout de sa tige .
Sans l'avoir jamais avoué,
je n'ai jamais conjugué le verbe aimer.
La vie se déroule ainsi:
on ne sait si elle va de l'avant
ou file entre nos doigts :
Les plus belles roses se fanent,
non pas leur beauté,
mais par la mort, qui vient tout emporter.
Aujourd'hui je l'enterre,
mais les mots que je lui destine,
n'atteindront jamais son cœur .
Belle au bois dormant,
qui sait en fin de compte
si le baiser de ma pensée
pourra remontera le temps,
ainsi qu'un film passé à l'envers,
redonnant aux pétales l'éclat de ses couleurs :
C'est un amour qui parle de lui-même,
aussi naturel qu'un poème ,
que tu emportes dans ta tombe .

You take away me from the light
into the dusk of faceless streets.
We see faint traces of the bright,
road lamps are all of a sudden lit.
You fell in company with me
so as to come up to the point.
We bypass dirty roadside sleet
and soon walk out of the crossroad.

Let’s get some pizzas nice and cheesy
Nothing to cook, life is easy
Another quick fix, just what we need
Fast food, at lightning speed.
Food can fix most of our troubles
Deliveroo, comes to our homely bubble
Stay in and they deliver
Bad for your heart, bad for your liver
A gallon of coke, quench your thirst
Rot your teeth, a trip in a hearse
Your fast-food gut expands and enlarges
Let’s a buy a fourteen-seat sofa
For a couple of barges.
Look in the mirror a gastric disaster
Use some pills as a sticking plaster
Fatigue, couples the weariness of sloth
Cheese up some bread and finish the loaf.

Take away bloody fools, Gracious God!
Relieve us of our sins’ heavy load!
Take away the blood-thirsty wolves
That are borne in the shapes of humans,
Conspiring against the Adam-born
To destroy the world peace, like Satans.
Take away fools, the fire-belching dragons
N’ bring forth, instead, those that be wise,
Who can turn today’s hell-like world
Into a happy, peaceful paradise,
Where there all be happy n’ unworried,
N’ having with each other good ties,
Where there are no suicide attacks
And no warplane flies,
Where there no Eve-daughter is ravished
And no oppressed cries,
N’ where for hateful sounds of blasts,
There are sweet songs of love,
N’ where there all are free and equal:
Crow, crane, kite and dove.

Be it on a old 8-track tape,
a 33 and a third.
Spinning on a turntable of a phonogragh.
You can't take away from me the day I heard him SANG to me.....

as the 45 played......
you can't take my Sam Cooke away.
You cant take away the day I heard a beautiful lady sang to me

Mama may have, Papa may have, but GOD BLESS THE CHILD that's got his own"
She took my soul to another level, had me caught into a zone!!!!
No matter what you say, You can't take away my Billie Holiday.

Take away my shattered dreams -
Every little piece.
Stars are crashing. And, it seems,
I was born to miss.
Take away my broken heart -
I don't want to feel.
Once again I fall apart.
Maybe I 'm not real...
Take away this endless pain,
Take away the light.
Maybe, I will die again
Only for tonight.
Take away my frozen soul.
I don't want to fight.
Leave me and just let me fall,
I will be alright.

I still remember the nights
Three year back
When you beat her...
And left me father-less.
I hate what you did,
but I can't stay mad for long.
It's not good to hold grudges
I guess I have to move on.
But I will never forget
How selfish you were
To leave us
Abandoned.
Forgiving you is hard.
Harder than some think.
To say it is one thing... but to do it...
Is harder.
One day I'll find it in my heart,
To forgive you,
But will it be now?
I know not.
The pain left in my heart,
The hope of finding a new father,
Was lost,
When you decided to "use your rights".
The only reason I went
To your "house"
Was because you brainwashed me
To believe that you were the good guy.
But when I found out you were not the good guy
And that I had a choice on whether to go or not,
Do you think I would go,
After what you've done?
Being brainwashed for 2 years is...
Too long...
Especially when pain abides
In your heart.
You had me being optimistic,
Hoping for some outcome of your goodness,
But that optimism soon faded away
When the pain got stronger.
The day whe I forgive you
Will be the day
That the pain
Goes away.

Yes, God does give and take away
but when He gives, it is a gift
a truth your life so well portrays,
the one our lives were well spent with.
Our minds and hearts they cling to you
sifting through every memory
to find the best of you to be
what God chose to invest in me.
Yes, God does give and take away
and when He takes the time is right
and though it bring our eyes to tears
your passing was no oversight.
He knew that you would be well prepared
to sit down at the Masters side
rewarded for how well you fared,
you proved your worth every stride.
Yes, God does give and take away,
sometimes He does not give at all,
to have had you was a priviledge
from your day of birth till the day He called.
Never knowing you would have been the loss
one we now know we could not afford
because having you, as God gave with love
stands to prove He always gave enough.

I awoke this morning, to a bed so cold and lonely
And despite the warning, I'd lost my one and only
All that now remains, is the shadow of what was
I’m left here in chains, with nothing but my flaws
The shadows lengthen, and grow dark by the hour
The loneliness they strengthen, trapped within its power
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!
Everywhere I look, there are spectres of her form
All the things she took, both the light and the warm
I try to block her image out, from the recesses of my mind
But I’ll always hear her shout, like my head is on rewind
Leaving images of herself, to clutter up my brain
Like the photos on the shelf, that fill my soul with pain
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!
I turn to share a moment, but she is no longer there
I’m feeling her absentment, and its fills me with despair
My life echoes to her chorus, to the sound of her fair voice
I’m stricken with her virus, I don’t really have a choice
She has move on from my life, out grown me at last
She is no longer my loving wife, that is all in the past
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!
All those memories I possess, are poisoned with regret
My mind is a bloody mess, I just wish I could forget
If I were but a stronger man, I could move past this love
I was doomed when it began, that cruel bolt from above
Now I see the bitter end, and it’s closing in so fast
My heart I can never mend, so this will be my last
Take this pain away,
Take away my sorrow,
Take this pain away,
Let the sunshine tomorrow!

Thoughts scattered
Life erodes my heart
Anxiety attacks
When did it all start?
An obvious wrong
exists, but is hidden
Reaching out for anything;
Everyone’s forbidden
I’m more alone
Than ever before
Beat, left for dead
Deep bruises and sores
I want to cry
But I’m too bitter
Too angry and sad
I’m just a quitter
Take it all away
Take the pain
The effort put in living
has only got me drained
Take it all
Take me away
Set the sun
And end the day

Jesus, Please Take Away My Sin!
Jesus, there’s a sin that I keep holding on to.
I come to you now, because I ought to!
There’s no pretending with you... I already know it!
You haven’t been my first love, and I’ve “blown it!”
Rather than loving you first, my heart is divided.
I’ve neglected the direction that you provided!
My life has been on a downward slippery slope.
I’ve lost all victory and a reason for hope!
I invite you now, to please come and help me.
I ask that you’ll touch my life and forgive me!
Please come, and by your shed blood, rescue me.
I need your help, because this sin has a hold of me!
I thank you my lord, for listening to me!
I can feel your love flowing through me!
Because of you, my past is now washed away.
You’ve given me hope to make it through today!
May my life bring worship and honor to you.
As a small way of saying how much I love you!
You are much more that I could have dreamed of!
You’ve filled me with a love that I can speak of!
Thank you Jesus, for this burden
you lifted from me!
You are always here,
and will never leave me!

Take away
All that I am
Make me weak
And watch me fade
Until I am nothing
Silent and still
Waste away
All that I have
Make me helpless
And hold me down
Until I am useless
Empty and hollow
There's away
All that is possible
Make me something
And don't let me fall
Until I am safe and sound
Peice by peice
Give away
All that I feel
Make me numb
And wait till I break
Until I am completely torn
Wish away
All that I am
Make me smile
And release my pain
Until I am free of burdens
Found and together
There's away
All that I can search for
Make me whole again
And keep me strong
Until I feel my heart and soul
Full and strong
