Taken Poems

Sorry I'm Taken

To the heartbreakers, I declare with pride,
I'm taken, by a love that won't subside.
To those who doubted, my capacity to love,
I'm taken, by a heart that beats from above.

To those who looked down, with a critical eye,
I'm taken, by one who sees the real me, and loves me high.
To those who rejected, with a callous

The Good Was Taken Out of the Summer

The Good was Taken out of the Summer

The good was taken out of the summer,
With her garden patch left abandoned,
 Lettuce heads and scallions gone wild,
Her sweet summer plans all spoiled.

The good was taken out of the summer,
With green fly festering her roses,
Overwatered orchids on the sill
As her plastic bread bowl lay still.

The good was

Umbrage Taken

     Offense not mistaken
       umbrage is taken

Be Yourself and Everyone Else is Taken

Be yourself and everyone else is taken 
What you find cut from ownself?
Everyone in their own too fallen,
But it's better than lose own relief.


The world is too much big 
Then you think, you be else,
Man pretty in his own rig
If wear good but other's, it's conclude false.

The wills and thoughts are free
The all you see

What More Can Be Taken

I came from a house where love never stayed,
Where fists did the talking and kindness decayed.
Where silence was safer than saying a word,
And a child’s small heartbreak was never once heard.

I ran to the bottle, to smoke and to fire,
Chased numbness like peace, sank deep in the vile.
Got locked in a

A Seat Taken, A Spirit Kept

O classroom once alive with gentle voices,
Where morning greetings bloomed so bright and clear,
I leave you now—stripped of certain choices,
Unheard, unseen, dismissed through quiet fear.

The silence came—a shadow down the hall,
Erasing names without a single word.
No answer rose to break the rising wall,
No hand reached out, no empathy was stirred.

The leader’s crown slipped heavy from

Taken by the Off Ramp

When logic fails,
something within me undeniably stirs,
something that was always there,
in the silent void,
waiting for me to veer off,
and let go.
To stop thinking, 
start feeling,
and open up. 
I shed my incumbent clothes,
waded in, 
felt the tug of the tide,
tasted the salty water on my lips,
and went with the flow.
To be carried to places 
reason could,

Last check before the parrot was taken outside

Scars Of My Soul

You wrote me in scars.
You’ve made me like this.
You tell me I’m not the same as my old self—
That I am something you pay for.
Am I something to be paid for?

I am torn apart by the way you treat me.
I am crushed by the comments you pass.
Am I not good enough?
I’m weighed down
By your words.
You’ve

Before The Seat Was Taken

The room was still when Power knocked—
 not loud, not proud, but sure.
 The Chair sat waiting, velvet-backed,
 untouched, and made to endure.

The walls had yet to learn the weight
 of promises unkept.
 The carpet, clean—untrampled still—
 knew nothing of secrets swept.

The pen was full, the desk was clear,
 the seal uncracked, unswayed.
 The nation

Point taken

He would lie to them then swear on his word
The gold in his pants a short but sharp sword
Then with his sly grin
He would draw them in
Claim he’d a very cool way of climbing aboard
