Take Me Away

Take me away to a secret place
Let my hair blow in the breeze

As you whisk me to a safe abode

Where my fragile heart can survive

 

Take me away to a place unknown

Where everything’s all right

Where there is no pain, or hate, or trial

Where love only comes, never leaves

 

Take me away to a fruitful place

Where wounded hearts can mend

Let me grow into something beautiful

A change I could never make here

 

Because here there’s too much hate

There’s too much hurt and pain and strife

And every time I finally start to mend

I find I’m left in pieces again…

 

So take me away to a secret place

Where I can be safe from harm

A place where I can thrive and be

This place that isn’t real

Author's Note

Nothing special. First poem I've written in a while that didn't want to be rhymed though.

You have such a sincere way with flow, you always capture the readers attention
with the feelings that spark in the depthful messeges you portray, fine job

It seems that I am not the only one who dreams of finding solace and pleasure anywhere and with anyone but here. If only I could be in another place and a different situation with a more inviting beau, I could change the world; who cares what color the grass is.
Great write, my dear. You are such a lovely lady. BZ

It's cute. Dates me I'm afraid . . . makes me think of the old Calgon commercials.

Sweet poem. It reminds me of Hendrix a little. You took us all away from reality for a moment. Hopefully yours and, every heart will eventually find this peace.
