Best Despondent Poems

Each walk along the cobblestone of night
reminds me how gladness becomes gloom
a despondent lesion from a heart,
while star-beam winks without a flare.

Here trembles a skyscape in the cold
as our affection in gradual leaks drains ,
and near winter too icy lingers,
that numb senses against it endure.

Of all the treasures one can own,
The greatest of these is love.
You're loved by me and many more
And by your God above.

Sometimes we must turn from ourselves
To fully understand
The loveliness surrounding us
As bounty from His hand.

Take heart my friend, you are needed
On this earth God...

If you look deep into these sad hazel eyes
You'll see a man tormented mirrored in the sands of time
Clinging to the last strand of sanity in his burned out mind. 
Living out each day choosing to believe the lie
Of dreams coming true while they pass...

Oh, sad moon,
you float
alone
in what used to be,
your cloud nine,
looking down
despondently
at me.
I remember
your illuminating glow,
so gleeful at twilight.
I remember
the smile
you wore yesterday
when billions
of your friends
shared the sky
with you.
But tonight
the sky is starless
and you're now so blue.
Smile, moon.
Smile again!
I'm here.
I'm a friend

Shaky steps prevail when I proceed down further,
Cloudy skies overcast when I want a clear weather,
Good that it rains for it hides the tears as it crawls,
Down the cheeks and then to the ground as it falls,
I smile even when I cry looking up at...

Genuine Fecklessness Exemplifies Despondent Creature Because...

Lackluster life lived
     as each subsequent day,
a carbon copy
of the one before,
though far from
being clinically depressed, this boar

ring guilt ridden Capitalist decries
     mass consumerist paradigm
satiating the whore
rub bull Lady Liberty, where more

From on high, only by Him
How throned o'er, thought of?
When as prompt, through each flash
Rainbow's, ray's, re-sent
The heartening mercy!
The heart-warming love!
To believe, must we bear
Full-faced God's descent?...

DESPONDENT SOIL

red soil, in a

hell hole, it was

shoveled, and the 

hued cones, see the

borders, i am

waist-deep, in the

sewer, and by

waste-deep, i am

troubled, in a

cesspool, of woe

No proof in the way I lie
The feelings concealed I only deny

Testing my strength at seventeen
Realizing thirty-five is not a dream

Circling vultures in the sky
Waiting for the dying to die

In my head it's the same
Circling around is only pain

Waiting for this feeling to subside
Like wind...

Behold, I have been so cold inside
So bold, I have been through the tide
The things you put me through 
I still love you, I still love you

I have been told you have been so full of hate
My heart is crushed by apprehension as of late
And...

despondent

these feelings invaded, 
conquered the very soul.
shards of sadness line the road
where, loss can lead to madness.

words offered barely pierce stout
walls, erected to protect her, from 
good intentioned hoverers, 
too many to be mentioned.

she can not hear nor see the love 
that family, friends proffer
