The song of my Soul...


You Can't Take Away My Soul

You can take away my heart,
You can take away my sleep,
You can take away my peace,
You can take me as a whole,
But,
You can't take away my soul!

Rob me off my rainbow dreams,
Make me restless; make me scream,
With anguish or joy extreme.
Come; take me into your fold!
But, don't take away my soul!

You can lock me up in jail,
You can set my boat on sail,
To Camen Islands in gales.
Drown me in your orb like bowls!
But, don't take away my soul!

You can take my jewels and pearls,
You can take my smiles and curls,
You can take my youth unfurled.
Come; distract me from my goal!
But, don't take away my soul!

My Soul is all I have got,
It is my saviour; it is my lord,
My soul is my inner self,
My soul is my real core,
You can't take away my soul!

This is so true, dear Zoya - the ultimate 'bottom line' which no hardship, suffering, torture or indignity can reach.

DEar,
This is a very strong wiriting and u know wut it reminded me of those in war. The enemy can take their bodies, homes,kids.......ect away but not their souls.

Keep it up,

The message of your poem is so clear which is hearing alwayas somewhere in our suroundings. willingness to surrender everything to save the soul.
its cry or an appeal of distructed and frustracted. you done it very well

You can't take away my soul
even if you try
you can't take away my soul
who can capture the wind?
who can tame my soul?
Even if you try
you can't take away my soul
I am free, nothing can touch me
Even if I die
You can't take away my soul
I will fly away
I will ride the winds la la la

Lovely poem Zoya :) I could hear the melody of your soul :) Well done :)
(((Hugs)))

What a beautiful write, dear Zoya, though, I fear, that love, as will music and poetry, steal any soul from within those who love... You write with such soft and violet ink...Ron.

You seemed to have disappeared here in between.... Welcome back.

My soul is my essence of being me
My soul is untouched and pure
No matter how defiled my body may be.
My soul is warmed by the flame of life
My soul is one, it is whole and healthy
No matter how much hurt by strife
My soul is what stays after my body is gone
My soul is what makes my world go round
No matter how tough life, my soul goes on and on...

Your poem reminds me of one of my poems... Lust for Life... its a different vein, a different reason, but still... Its the spirit that matters!

That was beautiful. And truly the most important part of us, is our soul. It is our connection in humanity. It connects you and me and others. Beautiful.
