Best Taking Poems

BREATH taking LOVE 

in the mist of a refreshing summer morning
you take my night away, giving passion to exceed my day
a Romance so secure, a kiss before you walk away
Cherishing you with one thought through out the day
I await for your return, with the sight,...

I walk into the night
And leave the world behind,
The fading of the light,
The stumbling of the blind
I seek another path
A road that has no goal
But the semblance of the truth
The yearning of my soul.

The moon holds centre stage
Beyond the trellis trees
The city lights engage
But can...

Our children are dying
Lying down facing the street
Our own kind has made the task easy for others to complete
From slavery by our own people
To the hand of those who thinks of us as unequal
For they too look at us as a disgrace to the world’s...

Cats don't like going to the vet,
In fact, they can get quite upset.
Somehow they just know,
When the crate makes a show,
They instantly begin to fret.

First they'll hide under the bed.
Getting them out fills us with dread.
They'll scratch and they'll bite,
And put up a fight.
Wish we...

Oceans of loneliness forgiven
petrichor slowly dances away
a strawberry kiss commencement
in deepest recesses of my mind

just linger 
with desserts of pleasure
wrapped around 
the very essence of my soul

brandy hints, a take of summer
shining down upon her grace

footfalls ambulate the shoreline
docked, the harbour 
is way too too...

I put my money to work
I put my words into action
Turning my thoughts into reality
Screaming the power of one 

We are misled by the world
Adapting wrong information
Refraining from our own destiny
People telling us we are nothing
Laughing at our crazy dreams 

I use my head for...

Once life slipped from my young days,
taking away all happiness;
it rained, but flowers didn't grow,
hope was as far as a rainbow...
deprivation and longing
made me shout at my ill fate
to stop its wrongdoing
before it turned to hate.


Yes, taking back life wasn't easy,
but what's left is mine...

Today I found a bird with a broken wing,
From whence it came, I know not where.
His delicate body shuddered in fear,
The pain he felt was much to endure.

Left to die without help to survive,
This little bird stumbled around outside.
Without ability to fly,
He suddenly noticed I...

I’m taking my camel to town,
do you got a problem with that?
I’m gonna get him some fresh water
and clean provender
What cha say,
they don’t sell to his kind?!
He’s the finest mottled brown,
this side of the Sahara desert sand
This camel got the blackest spots

I'm coming from afar, I'm after who you are
I'm coming fast, and not on the grass.
 I've traveled all night
to fight this fight, new history I will write 
I'm coming from the sea, and my soldiers are with me.
I've got the king, crown and the...

There are things one must do in this world to survive,
If one's to get through this life and contrive,
Not to lean on the goodness of those that we love,
And expect them to put our own welfare above,

The things that they need for their own livelihood.

She is taking all my friends away.
Something I commonly hear.
Daily.

And it is weird but
As soon as it happens
The victim wants no other friend
But that one.

Crazy?
Yes,
But so
Third grade!...

On this day
A day of sigh
A wooden box
My body may lie
But Me myself
You will not find
In the ground
I won't be found
For I am no longer
Earthly bound
This I ask
Please don't cry
For this is the day
I learn to fly
With my maker
By my side
We'll meet again
By and by
If...

Taking Off!

Some time passing, wondering 
about my invisibility, 
apart from my so very demanding physicality...

From birth, as my mother reported, 
I wanted smiles, 
screamed for them, 
made other’s cheeks sore giving them...

Then learning I could cause them, create them, 
with my own being, 
making and...

Dancing through life
Shaking my shoulders
Loosening up my hips
A sassy gypsy queen am I

Taking no prisoners
Enjoying my freedom
Playing my tambourine
Delighting the faeries

Twirling skirts 
In a variety of colors
Matching no one
Surpassing myself.

Singing my truth
Competition on. 
Fire oozes from my soul
I am the gypsy pirate queen
