Premium Member You Took My Place
Amazing love,
Amazing grace,
You gave Your life,
You took my place.
I should have died,
On Calvary's tree,
But You stepped in,
And died for me.

What can I say?
What can I do?
To show my love, 
My gratitude?
To You my Lord,
My Savior King,
For becoming my
Sin offering?

Here is my heart,
Here is my soul,
Come...

Premium Member It Took All My Courage To Write and Post This Poem
I wish I’d had the courage to ask you
why you treated me so differently to my sibling

You gave her private education at Norland  -
yet I did the same course but at the local technical college

You purchased a house for her  -
yet I had...

Premium Member Jewel That Took the Crown
A coral pink design on glistening ruby tapestry--
Reminiscent of ingenuity of sculptor's blueprints
In scarlet-orange tinges and teal-green imprints
Hanging spectacularly in the cosmic art gallery.

You are the brushstrokes of Florentine artistry--
Verses of poetry scripted in ornate vocabulary
Articulating the vision of a star studded galaxy
Flying in the...

I Took a Chance
I took a chance; Told you how I feel
Showed my hand; My heart revealed

This wasn't the plan; Meant to dance slow
But holding you there; Girl, I had to know

I took a chance; Just let my secrets fly
Your face says it all; We're dancing goodbye

This wasn't...

Heaven Took You Away
Scent Heaven took you away
I've asked GOD, every single day, 
to send you back to me, helplessly I pray. 
I am so heartbroken, hopelessly going through the motions of my life. 
Angrily denying that Heaven took you from me, Heaven took my Daddy away. 
Now...

You Took My Life As I Gave You Yours
Nervous, apprehensive, determined most of all
Excitement on hold, a job to be done
His greatest gift, holy, our creation.
I was prepared, clarity in vision.
Betrayed, a body incapable of my goal.
The journey we started forced to an end,
Mind over matter now meaningless sentiment.

Consent hurriedly signed as corridors...

I Took the Sun For Granted
~

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...

Before the Technology Took-Over
BEFORE THE TECHNOLOGY TOOK OVER.

How beautiful were those days 
When tech had not touched us
To spoil our minds and hearts
When life was simple and plain
And ambitions too were not very rosy.

When poetry music and art 
Use to inspire us to touch the sky
On the wings...

What If (God Took a Vacation)
Life becomes so busy that sometimes we loose sight
of, He who protects us through the darkness of night.

He is our shelter, our becon in the storm,
the rays of sunshine that keep our body warm.

How many times, do you forget to pray
What if God, decided to...

Her Blues Took My Blues Away
United Colours: BLUE CONTEST
Sponsor: Silent One

Her primary color was blue. It could not be made from a combination of any other color. It was hers and hers alone. She had a pure aura surrounding her, soft shades of carolina and cornflower but it changed into...

Premium Member When Justice Took a Holiday
WHEN JUSTICE TOOK A HOLIDAY

Justice took a holiday today;
Peace fought back the tears.
The mourners came to knell and pray:
Guilt having choked the apathy of the years.

No eulogy can change the present or the past;
No commentary can ease the lingering pain.
What a mockery is made of...

You took the short path,
in life many do.
I took the long path,
for the lovely view.
Blue shiny water,
I wanted to see....

She Took Me On a Moonbeam
She took me on a moonbeam

She took me on a moonbeam
I held her neath its light
The stars sang sweet surrender
in echoes on the night

Of comet tail desires
her lips ignite my skin
Enchanted constellations
blushing once again

Angelic woven heavens
draped softly on the sky
Velvet folds of ecstasy
of whispers floating...

He Took My Hand
When he took my hand
this drab world changed
summer grasses became
a carpet of green where we
lay hour after hour lost
in each other

My eyes saw color in everything
and my heart filled
with raw emotion

His touch rivaled the warmth of the sun
causing buds to blossom on our trees
my lips...
