The Cat has Taken Over.
by Bob Moore-c Fe
So, we got a cat nothing wrong with that
told my wife we never would
I like dogs, but cats I hate
she convinced me that we should
Of course she didn’t listen
“this is a rescue cat she said”
my daughter can get it for us
will be no trouble, and easy fed.
Now Holly was a stray cat
lived in a stray cats home
been living there for quite a while
no space for her to roam
No one wanted an older cat
her time was coming to an end
so my wife convinced me,
and Holly had a new friend
The cat arrived, so far so good
then, the house was full of toys
scratching poles, and feeding bowls
and other cat-type joys
Nail clippers, and all the things
the list goes on and on
everything a cat could need
was ordered from Amazon.
Now the house is taken over
and it doesn’t look so neat
I have to clean up after myself
Holly sure landed on her feet

Now that you've completely taken over my soul
You've also taken over my poetry
Everything I write is inspired by our love
My focus is always you and me
My inspiration, my brightest star in the sky
I'm the luckiest man on earth
How come I've been blessed with a beautiful love
A lady so sweet with such mirth
I'm totally amazed at how similar we are
Bout how we think true love should be
This over the top commitment to each other
Yet still have this feeling of free
With over seven billion people in the world
I'm wondering if we're unique
Probably not but it sure has that feeling
At the statistics I'd sure like to peek
No matter what they prove it feels that way
Like it's never ever happened before
The luckiest two people on the face of the earth
So honoured I can say I'm yours

I am the master of my body I think until I realize nicotine has taken over
she is in charge now.
she decides whether my day will be full of cheer.
I did not think I could crave something as much as I do her.
Smoking was something I learned to do by example – both parents.
their home is a reminder that there is a brokenness somewhere.
my breath, my lungs, my habit; it all causes me to have a temper.
when nicotine is not available. I need my fix you see.
I would like to see a possible victory, but with dismay I admit.
I can barely grasp the lies I tell of my smoking life.
there is a loss of something, I am not sure what, but I see better.
others do not hold the chains of addiction. They are mine to deal with.
what chance do I have to kick this habit? I am fearing no chance at all.

You Have Taken Me
All Of Me
You Let No One Else In
You Have Loved Me
All Of Me
You Are All I Need
You Steal Me
Every Single Part Of Me
You Capture Me
Helpless, I Can't Resist
Quench Me
My Heart You Torched Indeed
You Incarcerate Me
In A Lockdown, No Escaping
You Enthrall Me
And Keep My Blazing Heart In Plea
And Every Evening, Your Majesty
I Will Be There, Your Shining Armor Prince

Hurting inside feel like I am about to cry Like anyone cares that I am dyeing inside I feel
like I could disappear into thin air and no one would that I wasn't there I could leave
tomorrow and see that none would know that I was even there they would cease to care
Life is about living for today not tomorrow but no one told me that it would be filled with
so much sorrow I feel like giving up and calling it quits because there is nothing here in
this world I'm in well I said my piece I said it all now I feel like crawling up into a tiny little
ball well that's it that's a wrap it's the end of the show oh wait it's not a show it's my life
well go on think what you want to think but I lost my Hope and Faith and it's not a
mistake it's the story of truth being told I am hurting inside that's no lie because now I
have just died a little more inside

It's sad to say
that seduction has taken over
Blinded by the man
and constantly getting messed over
small footsteps of grief
and unfolded memories of pain
She began to weap
for that new love
who bought her constant pain
With suicidle thoughts
that crossed her mind
Her eyes still in tac
While thinking shes blind
It's sad to say
that seduction has taken over
Blinded by the dark
she seem to have lost her way
Touched by a system
of ordinary single flames
She then pointed the finger
knowing she was the one to blame
Reactions of lust
and unfamiliar faces
Unwanted feelings
that touched her many places
It's sad to say
that seduction has taked over
Fingerprints of hickeys
and french kisses denied
She begun to realize that
she something she needed to decide
Faults of truth
and lies of good faith
Confused and misused
is what she had on her plate
Oh yes, nevertheless
seduction has taken over

My soul is searching for the light,
all I need is to see you tonight.
I've been holding on,
but I'm letting go,
as these inner demons take control.
I've lost the battle, one by one.
Staring at the sky, reaching towards the sun.
They've taken over, and I can't fight back.
Tonight's the night, I'll never return back.

Everywhere we turn in this world is about violence and gangs,
Everyone thinking they are cool because they can hang,
Until one day someone gets shot,
And no one gets caught,
Police don’t give a care,
Every night I have to say a prayer,
Begging God to let me live through the day,
Jumping out of harms way,
Living in the hood,
Seems all good,
But people don’t understand what goes on,
People hoping to wake up to the first light of dawn,
But only to go back to the streets,
Only to show off their heat,
No one seeking peace up in here,
You have kids drinking beer,
People doing drugs,
Acting cool, because they think they’re a thug,
This may seem like a bother,
But I’m always going to my father,
Seeking Gods way,
Just so I can hopefully stay,
Trying so hard to stay out of trouble,
Waking up to a neighborhood in rubble,
Noticing how gangs have taken over,
Picking up a lucky clover,
Wishing to keep my life for one day,
When I saw my friend laid to rest,
I made a vow to do the best,
When I saw my friend get shot in the head,
Wishing I would never drop dead,
Maybe some day the violence will end,
Only if we can stop the violent trends……….
