Premium Member Is It There For the Taking

Taiwan makes Xi's eyes really slant
Jinping rants how freedom just can't
Rule over this place
That belongs to his race
So he'll grab it as part of a land grant

Premium Member Put on hold

Night was falling and she waited but the phone stayed silent.
Life was out there for the taking but she refused to move on.
What was the use? Her mind was made up, she would wait.
She would keep waiting till there be no waiting left to do.

Have Mercy

God have mercy upon our earth.
As we kill ourselves with Science.
A nuclear devastation in the making.
The CERN institute is there for the taking.
Is there an alliance with this Science?
A dark matter controlling portals.
Our lives are at stake; a potential grave for the masses.
We search and find we are only mortal.
Delicate lives entering a new dimension.
What is this apprehension?

A Dream Within a Dream

Walking on holy ground,
all the while spinning round.

The sun chases the night,
till it runs out of sight.

The world begins waking,
it's there for the taking.

Yet the pattern it seems,
is our unfulfilled dreams.

An empty bottle tossed,
a love found that was lost.

Then comes the final scene,
a dream within a dream!

You've got to choose,
to walk in those shoes,
to pay your dues,
to sing the blues.

Something so right,
all shiny and bright,
don't just come in the night,
you've got to bleed and fight!

And when you are winning,
it's just the beginning,
there'll always be new things,
out there for the taking.

Bells, whistles, and fluff,
how much is enough?
Do you need all this stuff?!
Can you call your own bluff?

Premium Member 'clumsy Me'

I wanted to run 
but it was all in vain
you were just a little bit faster 

I wanted to cut you off 
but you already invaded my sense of being 

In between the unknown 
things made themselves known 
all the invisible 
Became visible 
everything I wanted 
was right there for the taking 
and yet 
I couldn't take it - 

too afraid it would slip out of my hands

Premium Member Hey You

Tears in your eyes
So disillusioned
What happened to your dreams, girl?

Life is still there for the taking
Break out of your shell
Don’t let life pass you by

Reach for it
Take the challenge
Above all
Hold on to your dreams

Come on give me a smile
You can choose to
Make your dreams come true

You live only once
Every passing moment is gone forever
Stand up and celebrate

Say YES to life

Last Dregs of Summer

The last dregs of summer, as autumn arrives

Sun seeking birds now take to the sky.

Black juicy brambles are there for the taking,

Apples now ripe, soon mums will be baking.

Candlelit lanterns will take to the streets,

As children cry out,"is it trick or treat."

As November fires light up the sky

Guy Fawkes is burning, and winter is nigh.

Oh blessed autumn such bounty you bring,

The year's parting gifts, before winter's sting.
