Despair

Bore after bore fell silent eventually
Abhor I do feel through my eyes
Gore and sore now abundantly plenty
Tore through clouds, wondrous skies

Despair in abundance appears all around
Where in the world has all our love gone
Stare into our abyss, and see it abound
There is no tomorrow, there is no dawn

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Date: 5/12/2015 10:47:00 PM James although the world nowadays has been rakpant black or gray I still believe on healing light.. despair.. sometimes we really have such moments but I do believe we dont't let ourselves be swallowed to such... we are born winners!!!~olive eloisa Login to Reply James Fraser Date: 5/13/2015 1:36:00 PM This poem was written at the request of Lencio Rodrigues who created the Lentos Poetry Form. Amazingly I was chosen along with 101 poets throughout the World to submit a poem for his book. My poem is on page 31. The kids bought it for my Christmas two years ago, when I opened the book for the first time, the page I opened was my poem, WOW. I pray that we write our joint poetry book, hugs always Oliz xxxx

Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/9/2013 6:51:00 AM I thought I would take a trip to a land of shadows.well done. Thanks for your comments. I find it interesting you write about dark topics but with a hint of playfulness. I do not sense the darkness in your personality. Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/6/2013 5:15:00 PM yes, I have been feeling this sometimes in my own life,James. Sad about the whole world. I know it is not good to moan about one's own woes with all the horrors in this world. But bad times just drag one down!! I sure liked how you did beginning rhyme as well as ending. Login to Reply
