God Took You Home
You never said "I'm leaving" You never said "good-bye" You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart I hold a place That only you can fill It broke my heart to lose you But you didn't go alone A part of me went with you The day...

Premium Member The Seas Took What Couldn't Be Saved
Disconsolate obsidian waves crash over crumbling dunes, Sweeping afflicted grains of sand back into the depths, Dragging my paralysed soul with them. Engulfed in despondent riptides, I gasp for oxygen amongst rippling currents, As a fiery moon hangs precariously overhead. Blood-red reflections illuminate the stark waters, While calls of the lost sing to me, Like sirens beckoning sailors to their doom— Louder and louder,...

What She Gave and Took
She taught me to pray with hands that bruised the bread and sometimes, me. The kitchen smelled of cinnamon, but the corners were quiet with grief. I was loved--loudly, then not at all. Her laugh could warm a whole December, but silence followed when I needed June. She carried me like gospel, until I questioned her scripture. Then, I became her quiet sin. Still-- I make her biscuits...

Never Took the Time
Sadly what you think you see, Is based off the opinions of the world's decrees, If you search from the outside and not from within, If you don't erase the biased opinions before you begin, The idea of the outside settles and starts to paint the picture, And if you never wiped away the thought the heart will go back...

THE ROAD I TOOK
I've come to see that life is a journey A destinationless one Guided not by compass or map But by the steps we take as we move. We often choose the well-worn path Drawn to where the crowd has gone. Others dare the lesser roads Chasing the thrill of the unknown. Afraid of what I couldn’t see I chose the road most traveled Not to...

The day, the soil lab took care of him, and I sighed
The day, the soil lab took care of him, and I sighed Categorical exclusion, You were there, but almost Nye! My outspoken, my hidden, my own darker trace My grace, rancid disgrace, my song and my own mess Did I ever tell you? I loved you with all my heart, I loved you all! I had no desire, there, my...

Premium Member I Took Satan's Throne
I strolled into Hell like a VIP/ Satan said, "what's this nonsense I see"/ "Bro, I out evil you", I smirked with glee/ Then he rage-quit chess, forfeiting to me/ God gasped, his jaw hit the floor/ "I designed Satan, what is this lore"/ I shrugged, "he misplayed the Sicilian once more"/ "Then fell for a joke about the grocery store"/ He plotted...

Premium Member What I Took From My Dad
Growing up, my family was quite close. We’ve always loved each other very much. Those memories are what I cherish most, And though we’ve moved away, we still keep in touch. My siblings and I may not talk every day, But we’re there for each other when needed. And though there are times when there’s nothing to say, Not one of us...

LSD TOOK ME FOR A RIDE Record 2025/02/18 11:15:55.webm Riding the roller coaster, white-knuckled and grimacing in horrified pleasure. He took me for a ride in his supercharged El Camino. Everything was so surreal. I didn't know if we were moving or the road moved beneath the car. The winter trees at night seemed to glow with a dark...

I Took Them
I took my meds one night. The vegetables on the counter. Are easier to prepare into a meal now. I used to throw everything away. They all ran away. Things that normally can’t run. Did anyway. I took my meds one night. I slept. I was sleepy. Then I don’t remember much. Morning is one...

It Only Took An Instant
It only hook a moment When I saw you from across the room, Standing there talking with the bride And groom. Though we had met some years ago at a gathering, Little did we know we would be part of Barb and Dan's wedding. I smile and nodded as I casually walk toward the food trays, What happened next, well...
