Best False Hope Poems

Fate and the False Hope


Arrow of fate flies silently straight
targeted mark is found never too late
Man thinks himself master of his fate
forever the fish takes in hopes bait

Time clouds storm right on along
men, ants in a loud, dusty throng
Vanity stirs in such shallow hearts
unmindful of...

The light appeared upon the dark horizon
Twinkling brightly in the frozen air 
Nothing could have been more surprising 
Nothing else could make me stop and stare

Bright and clear like a star that descended 
It shone towards me across open water
A promise of all things fixed...

You smile.
You wave.
It's false hope,
You gave.

I loved.
I hoped. 
You rejected. 
I coped. 

My heart.
My soul.
Is jaded
You know. 

(From) 
You're smile.
You're wave.
The false hope
You gave....

Red numbers burn 4:04 into the darkness. Moments later, they transform their identity and moan 5:16.  Work begins in three hours and forty-four minutes; three hours and forty-three minutes. 
An uninviting breeze blows through the filmy fabric, interrupting her weary gaze. Tiny defined bumps...

the ever so enchanting Lady Luck 
may you make my dreams come true
and my nightmares disappear   
but as of now, i (I) mean, as of so far 
there has been only silents from you 
must you stay so far away...

we can order baby back rib subs as well and get our favorite salads with it
please do not make that face at me....i am going...

A gravestone.
It says Sheila Ryan, died aged 59
A devoted mother

Here clinging to the hillside
Striving, for the solemn white cross at the top

Standing
quiet, 
unmoving, 
unsympathetic.

As soil creep carries the believer down the hill....

When you fashion your hope on empty promise and expectation... play a sad song....

The sun had begun to shine through the clouds
And the rain has finally stopped 
My soul is no longer pulled down towards the muddy waters
And the river has become shallow and stagnate
My heart soars high above the world of sorrow
To a planet ruled by happiness...

Deeper and deeper the blade goes in each night,
Holding on to the renominates I call my life,
Losing my grip with each passing day,
Thinking, hoping there is another way,

Tired of fake smiles, and all the I'm fines,
They can't see the pain I'm in and all the...

So now with all the goals you set
Times run out
You sit and fret
The novels that just drained your time
Apparently ain't worth a dime
And the query's that were mailed
Clearly all that effort failed
Do you have the strength again
To just sit down and use your pen
Give it...

Wishing well, ole wishing well,
Grant my wish I pray,
Wishing well, ole wishing well,
Take my pain away.

Wishing well, ole wishing well,
You didn’t grant my wish today,
Wishing well, ole wishing well,
I guess to God ill pray.

God ole God,
To you I pray,
God ole God,
Please listen to what I...

Eyes swelling with stars as the Sun seems just within your fingers reach,
Hands frozen with icy regret while puffed clouds of dreams suckle rain like a leech,
Drops of tears slipping past the sunshine as heavens hints prove fake,
Stormy days swiping away at the walls that...

Marble-sided buildings sunk in the sand
Jumped 40 glassy stories on command.
Everyone thinks life is nothing and money’s grand.
Rolling chair hawkers spiel and cutely chide
Sunday suited daddies to pay for their brides.
So, a cavalcade of marmalade mommies ride, 
(Fatted infants firmly holstered at each side),
Tossing constant...
