Best Hopelessly Poems
Far
So far away
Whenever I need you
You’re not around
I think of you
Dreaming we would find a way
To get back together again
And that you would stay
I love
Everything about you, if you didn’t know
I love the way you hold me close
I love the way you whisper to my ear
There’s nothing I won’t say or do
To have you, back into my arms
Loving me the way
The way only you can do
I love
Love to dance with you
I love to feel
Your heart beat next to mine
As we move across the floor
The music takes us away
And we’re hopelessly in love
The way I pray we'd stay
If you were only here
but you're so far away
I'm still hopelessly, in love with you
When you meet that someone, you know in an instant
It's the one you've been waiting for
Not a bit of hesitation, you can call it intuition
You've been waiting a lifetime or more
They're saying all the things you've been longing to hear
Since the day you discovered love
Those tender sweet love words that turn you to mush
And give your old ticker a shove
No second guessing, it pokes you in the heart
Suddenly you can't function anymore
All you can think of are those tender sweet moments
With this angel you've been waiting for
At first you ask yourself, “is this the real thing”
Or is it just wishful thinking at play
Then this vision says something that turns you to mush
Any doubts you might have had goes away
An age old question, “how d'you know if it's real”
Well there's very subtle signs to look for
If you can't remember the last names of your parents
Then you're hopelessly addicted for sure
Bewildered, I wander this barren land
Not able to find my way
Barely even able to stand
My soul grows weary each day
Alas, I ponder, as I count each step
Now knowing which path to take
Alone in despair, I've often wept
While waiting, for my heart to break
A stranger's journey, I wander this maze
Never knowing, where it might lead
My mind, ever trapped, in a foggy haze
For direction, I fervently plead
Like a ship on the ocean, I'm endlessly tossed
Reprobate and hopelessly lost
I hide
In my splintered wicker laundry hamper
Under last weeks soiled cloths
Sheltered within a warm wooden box
At first the cloths smelled of me
And later I of them
And soon hereafter
We of we
I lay there
Still and cold
In the soiled
Hopelessly Awaiting For Laundry Day
For Trudy Diane Rider's competition entitled "Hopelessly devoted" (what is your passion)
rhyming required ababbcc:
My mind is racing as I vacate my bed
I need to grab my lap top fast as hell
What rhymes with bed? - it could be red or dead
What rhymes with hell? - perhaps a tolling bell
As my poem emerges, hope it all will gel
I wake each day with rhythm and beat, it's great
To pen it all and see it in print, can't wait.
Buzzing with feelings and words not yet agreed
Muttering syllables, throughout the alphabet
Beating out time and meter at a high speed
When in the soup, will take any help I can get
As beautiful words can change one's whole mindset
I wake each day with rhythm and beat, it's great
To pen it all and see it in the print, can't wait.
Ballads and sonnetts, epics, Haiku's and more
Works by Keats I'll read and then I'll expand
Writing odes to doves and sea birds now ashore
In my native town, midst the sun, sea and the sand
Then I'll dream of Heaney and Joyce and Yeats - And
I'll wake each day with rhythm and beat, it's great
To pen it all and see it in print, can't wait.
It's such a buzz to finally get it out
Inking that picture captured by me alone
Reading it over there sure will be some doubt
Though magic in words that only I can own
Original, seeds that I have newly sewn
I'll wake each day with rhythm and beat, it's great
To pen it all and see it in print, can't wait.
It’s twilight time; we’re lying on the sand
Beneath a splendid sky, limbs intertwined.
I only have to close my eyes and then
I’m taken to this place inside my mind.
The scent of you, your breath upon my cheek,
The whisper of your eyelashes on mine;
The long and tender kiss that leaves me weak.
I’m taken to a place that is divine!
But you are far away. . . I don’t know where.
I know my fantasies cannot come true.
yet never have I ceased imagining
Since being taken hopelessly with you.
For Black Eyed Susan's Contest "Taken"
I see you standing all alone,
My heart skips beat - I whisper a moan.
You look at me - what do I say?
Your Beauty scares me - I turn away.
Suddenly an emotion sweeps over me,
I muse my reflection - Consider what I see.
A hopeless man with hopeful dreams,
Is standing where this Beauty gleams.
I look into your eyes - I see something there,
So much love - Traced by dare.
I'll take a chance - Fate must know,
Am I the spark who made you love-light glow?
With hopeless Fate lending a hand,
Beauty offers a hopeful smile so grand.
Could this be love? I will search for a clue,
Hopelessly Hopeful for this dream come true.

She is the most demanding cat who ever shared my home.
She stares at me so balefully till I do what she wants,
And yet I love her more than any other cat I’ve owned.
She tramples on my feelings as she tramples on my plants
Then stalks away with nothing more than a disdainful glance.
Some people say of pussies, that you can’t tell them apart …
I treat all mine as equals … but Pandora has my heart ...
Aching Nights And Hopelessly Sad Morn
Aching nights and hopelessly sad morn
my life torn, ripped and nailed;
each day dark hours sliced and dice,
misery applauding as I failed
not once nor even twice but thrice!
Each day, worries eat into this fate
watered soup- soul needs more;
so lost, lost as three blind mice,
this aching heart dares score
as if my deep pain does not suffice!
Dare I question my dark lot in life
In ashes pray a blessing sweet;
nay, such a supplication reflects,
forlorn spirit admits defeat
epic moaning that never connects!
Tomorrow hints at miracles to come
fine ship, vast oceans to sail;
winds blowing, waters calm and blue,
relief given from a dark hell
a destined pilgrimage seeking you!

I woke up from sleeping and found myself eating
a piece of old barley bread.
While feeding on breakfast, I thought it most unjust
that yours was a warm one instead.
Though willow branch bends, it cannot make amends
to a place that I'm sitting between.
A rock and a hard place that's hopeless to face -
and torment, the greatest I've seen.
My great sacrifice just wouldn't suffice.
These shoes that I wear aren't by choice.
"We can't refinance" was the bank's 'song and dance'
but who would hear my little voice?
Despite life-long effort, they're selling me short,
my business at such a great cost.
The bank never spared because they hadn't cared,
hence millions of dollars were lost.
So don't store up treasures for everyday pleasures,
in things of this earth that will rust.
The great love of money has never been funny,
for only in God should we trust.
It's so disconcerting my children are hurting,
yet hopelessly helpless I am.
Despite expectations to pay obligations,
I now can't help any of them.
I sit in the shade of these problems they made.
This willow tree weeps with me too.
The moral of story is not really gory
if we've learned a lesson or two.
Those decades of years bring me sad lonely tears
for they took everything that I had.
But what greater loss - than was Christ's on the cross?
I maybe don't have it so bad.

How does it feel
To not wake up from a horror nightmare
No matter how hard you’ve tried?
Trapped…I suppose, everyday…
I can hear the raindrops dripping down the window pane
I can hear the sounds…calling to me
Urging me to wake up
Yet, I still can’t seem to awaken
As everybody else moves on
Growing stronger by the minute
Finally giving up on me…
I am trapped here by time
“Miracles happen”
I used to believe that
Now, I don’t
Not after what I’ve been through
Not anymore
There’s no hope for me
Not one that can light the whole darkness
My face is unveiled to you
My heart is exposed to you
My emotion is without protection
You know me
I never put on a mask when I am with you
I put down all my barriers for you
You know me
You know my likes and dislikes
You know my soul desires
None of my frames are hidden
You know me
Oh gosh!
I have allowed you to infiltrate my person
Now, that you have infiltrated my person
Please don’t leave me alone on this path
My love, you saunter in my heart of golden sand
touching the waves of heaven that ebb and band
emerald in the balm teasing light on my palm of my hand.
With a breath beneath the sun and sky my soul you command.

I’m stuck in the present
And stuck in the past.
I’m all out of room
From the stuff I’ve amassed.
The future may beckon
But I can’t respond
Because I’m so stuck
I can’t see the beyond.
Where once I possessed
Much more moxie and pluck,
Today I’m depleted
And hopelessly stuck.
Hopelessly falling
even though I know
that it's wrong
I can't seem to resist this calling
we can't even put our all in
like mickey mouse build a house
your not even an available foot
to land on so I don't play those games
I just gaze into your eyes
and watch as I fill with amazement
because since I've met you
I can't breath.
I miserably seek you out
It's a burden I will live with
because even if it's just friendship
I crave being near you
