Oxygen like Love
Often taken for granted
Lack one of the two
Face the harsh reality
You will soon be turning blue

What the Earth Gave Me

Brown and sometimes dirt
Dug, trampled and planted
Seeds to grow seeds to sell
Taken for granted
Mixtures of rain and sunshine
This is precious earth
Form: Choka

Premium Member Taken For Granted

Glassy globules fall, Slipping through sky’s cotton balls; Giving life to all. Dancing through the waterways; How for granted, we take rain.

Returning

Long journey ended, so weary that I can barely stand, 
Before a place of such beauty, so long taken for granted, 
I know better now, such comforts I have missed, I am home.

Love Taken

emotions can deceive you
as they boil to the top
written all over my face
tucked inside your heart

love taken for better
love taken for worse
love taken for granted
love taken

Premium Member Taken for granted

Sincere apologies 

Diabolical policy 

My part in your life 

losing its  novelty 

Babe magnet wannabee 

Recurring anomalies 

Quantity first and always above quality

Premium Member Thanksgiving



On Thanksgiving Day

     we share bountiful blessings

          with loved ones and friends.

Time to pray, and acknowledge-

oft taken-for-granted gifts.

Love Hurts - Part 2

Take it all, leave me with none,
you never quite had enough.
Your love tank full, I bled for you,
taken for granted, made a fool.

Patience

Let no man take for granted, 
the next man’s patience.

In next man’s heart resides
the blade, golden like furnace

To burn to hell, in vengeance,
in atonements of patience,
once taken for granted
Form: Didactic

Valued

Worth living

Giving, caring, loving, joyful

Valued like a large diamond

Meaningful, precious jewels

Time of renewals

Valued.

Priceless, taken for granted

Everlasting, gifted

Valued.

The Beauty of Darkness

In the beginning, there was light,
Light to make beautiful God’s great creations.
With this light came darkness,
Darkness to shield these great beauties
So they would never be taken for granted.

Water

Water: wonderful sustainer of life-

Always taken for granted- an epicenter of strife;

Trickling toxins make it unsafe-

Eventual Love Canals all over the place;

Remand the polluters to a healthy jail space!

Premium Member Fleeting Time

all time foolishly taken for granted
in hindsight ever fleeting
once spent forever gone

Short-Sight Is Not Limited To Pigs

SHORT-SIGHT   IS NOT LIMITED TO PIGS



Swine scorn a pearl, greedily grubbing for truffles.
Their ignorant grunts are taken for granted.
They can’t see very much at all  -
Pigs just can’t see beyond the next acorn.
Form: Verse

Of the Fourth Kind

Here;
was there
yesterday,
when in my world
they came and took me 
across the black expanse
to lose the freedom of life
taken for granted by others
left behind (light-years away) back home
to ignore emancipation’s beauty.

Life

Life is long
Life can be gone
Life is great
Life can be late
Life is hard
Life is easy
Life is what we live
Life is around us
Life can be taken for granted
Life can be granted
Whatever happens day to day
It is life in everyway

Not Just Another Day

My lady
My ladies, younger
One and two 
Can't be taken for granted
Their powerful love
Coloured with forgiveness
Again, I thank my Savior
Jesus, the reassuring joy in my soul
Come death or birth - days
Amen. Shalom shalom friends

A Beautiful Mess

Completely chaotic
A beautiful mess
Imperfect perfection
No more, no less

A fabulous disaster
A tortured soul
Pleads for acceptance
A heart that is whole

Delightfully broken
Poetically bruised
Taken for granted 
Emotionally abused
Form: Rhyme

The Guard

Watching and waiting
No gratitude received
Taken for granted
Like the cool night sky,
Gentle ocean waves,
Like the falling leaves of autumn,
Always expected to remain
But, with no one to tend to their needs
Or Admires their eloquent beauty

Hope

Many things seen
and not understood
taken for granted
until it's gone

 Seen from a distance
longing for the wind
only to watch it blow away

It's a struggle
to chase the moon
trying to ride a star
only to end up face down
in the dirt
Form:

Catastrophe

Energy from nuclear power
Taken for granted and tamed
‘Till water fails the cooling tower
There’s not one person to be blamed

Thousands flee released radiation
Poisonous air descends
Threatening all within the nation
People run, searching for friends
Form: Rhyme

Loosing Lifetime Moments

life, lost, missing, nature, pollution, time,

LOOSING LIFETIME MOMENTS© 

Days flip to nights
Light years lost
Minutes tick to hours
Lifetimes are spent
Lungs take in fresh air
Breaths dissipate bye-bye
Taken for granted
Strawberry fields forever!
Form: Verse

Premium Member The Time of Youth

In my youth
How time
Lingered
So surreal
Taken for granted
Spent on wishes
Squandered
How ironic
To crave
So profoundly
Wholeheartedly
To wish for it all
Back to treasure
Each nano second

Me

A girl silent as a flower 
Never could be prouder
Never lost, always loved
Always mistaken, taken for granted
Careless and carefree
At most, clever and yet so anxious 
Truthful but never enough 
Here and there, never stopping
Yet she stays an unemployed babysitter
