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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

Hopelessly Devoted to Just One Thing?!?
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Hopelessly devoted to just one thing, I cannot say it’s so. 
Many things were manifested for which great devotions grow. 
Simply choosing that one special thing of hopeless commitment, no!
I cannot do it....

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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....
