Best Desolate Poems

The ship in the habor on silvery seas
Lay vacant outspread 'neath the glassy moon
Drifting in cold whispers of the night
Like a drunk man shriveled on clasping knees
In the loud echoes of the crawling winds
The brave ship nods its old head
Restless on the empty stage of...

My hands and feet are numb
for I am cold and I have no
home to give me warmth.
A home and warmth are two
things I search for that is why
people call me a bum.
I have not eaten but I have
prayed and my prayers have
not yet been answer...

Encased in an isolated castle of an old fool’s paradise,  
A decaying dagger rests upon a distressed oak table.  
Frayed book pages scatter across termite-riddled floors.  
The calligraphy carries echoes of triumphant battles,  
Vividly etched in ink.  

A revered legacy...

From Desolate Waves, Of A True Love's Death

As poet I cry out, nobody hears
yes, deep ingrained apathy I fear
for no other sad darkness so repels
as does indifference born from Hell.

From desolate waves, of spitting grey mists
arrives those terrors from misery's lists
fiery flames set to burn...

Bashful in the sky,
The sun hides behind the clouds;
Rays in solitude....

There are a lot of awful things in this world.

Life is generously given, then brutally taken from us without warning.

All that's left is an empty shell of grief and pain. 

Some of our most beautiful moments are far outweighed by the grotesque memories of our...

We regret words said; causing others pain
And before we know it, friendships are slain
We can't stop spiraling thoughts in our minds
But only be guided with words so kind
We can't force man to look into their souls
We can only help and hope they will know
to contemplate...

There is a desolate road every mortal knows.
It winds across barren, weed-strewn ground.
Its  route is filled with faith-jarring holes,
And its destination is where despair is found.

Depression and loss of hope are signs
The desolate road knows our losing streaks. 
Each of us makes the trip...

"Desolate Soul"




Sitting in this empty space surrounded by the stars so far above
Thinking of the days passed by with little to no connections
Favored by none connected to the dust that sweeps by in the wind
Considered to be gone without the chance to reform my image


Staring...

Fear and violence
the scent
that seeps through my soul 
numb and desolate
time spent
an emptiness that finds me
Oh, the roads... oh, the avenues
Without you
Before you
Because of you there is Happiness
Life's blessed
My day is bright
I no longer hide
Who I am, so near to complete
If only these things did...

Desolate

Wandering aimless
Through twilight city streets at night
Invisible to the outside world
Nothing really right
Looking, longing, wondering when I will see
That always bright, reflective light
The end of the tunnel

Another night of sorrows
Drown in open bottles
Fluid for the times of your life
And remedy for the tears we’ve shed
But...

speak. your words. blue birds go SCREECH! as i meet the sirs, and madams, crab jam jelly in my belly for the 
aqua king, cause everything stings fast, it lasts, my future, past, masked by the fact that i laugh when you say, 
danger....

Around that lonely house by the hill
The stray cat prowls through
His eyes glowing like meteors in the dark
And his fur's fawn rough
The stray cat strolls to the casement
Meowing for succour
The owner-occupier sneaks with a rod
Ready to hit the eerie animal
But the stray cat's glowing eyes...
