Best Hoping Poems

I sit alone and I think of you, hoping you can hear me
If I close my eyes just before I sleep, I can see you more clearly
Even where I am now, where everything is dark
I can feel you here beside me, gently tugging at my...

Hoping that it might be you

I've got some troubles in my life...
I'll help with yours, will you, help with mine?

Will you be here when the day is done?
(day is done)

Seems, like the whole worlds in a mess...
each day...

Hoping the flowers bloom

Sifting through my day,
withered masses of an old heart
searching in the wrong corner,
dreaming in muted grays on a white background,
wandering through the garden
of my every lost dream,

hoping the flowers bloom . . .
and I get to see them

Long hours only offer relief
when...

Fretting 
Over his lies
Trust not 

Trusting
Never again
Now wise

Wisdom
Comes with life
I learned

Learning
To share my heart
Cautious

Caution
on longest days
yields peace

Peaceful
Flowing waters
Bring hope

Hopeful
Fretting no more
Heart's strong

Strength builds
Tower of faith
Rising

Sunrise 
Brightens dark days
Light shines

Shining
My stride returns
With love

Loving
Not enabling
Trust earned

This is a poem 'bout those moments when you've had enough
and it feel like you get no answer from above
I know you're not where you wanna be
what the future hold you cannot see
It is all about hoping and believing
that soon you'll be living what you...

Ahead of us lies the unknown

The flatline horizon betrays

The beating heart of the ocean

Each beat causing a swell

Each swell causing us to sway

Out in the open, enclosed in the womb

Umbilically linked to our mother

Daily we reminisce of the island we left behind

The families that will...

Wishing, Hoping, Praying

I wish so badly that I was dead
Found in a tree hung under head
The tender kiss felt from a rope
Its for this end that I do hope
To end the pain felt day to day
Its for my death that I do pray
So I am...

Hoping in vain

We all live today,
hoping for tomorrow
then it disappears

I drift away,
illusions dearly held
but they're vanity

Chorus

Hoping in vain
Everyone is hoping in vain
Hoping in vain
Everyone is hoping in vain


Empty words,
swirling in the strong winds
of a hurricane

All I see,
crashes all around 
none able to explain

Chorus

Hoping in vain
Everyone...

A halo of amber, the clouds to ignite
Still in the heavens this cold winter day
Rose petal whispers, a scent wafts in flight
Meandering softly to take me away

Dreaming horizons in quiet repose
Morning awakens, sweet cantaloupe lace
Azure reminders in Chantilly bows
Warm the encounter, this sunrise embrace

Daylight now...

Hoping constellations

This warm evening lingers
along weeping fence lines
of tear drop persuasion
laced in glistening spider webs
and I am missing you

Staring up at a melancholy sky,
counting hours on the face of the moon
while minute hand comets
slowly float by in orbiting arcs
getting nowhere fast

I see shadows reach beyond
pecan...

Standing here looking upwards
hoping and waiting on Rose
what's happened I wonder to myself
it's snowing heavy my feet feel froze

I don't have her mobile number
never thought when asking her for date
was looking forward to this night
not expecting to be here this late

This Rose was for a...

Tired as a dog from his day at the office
    Dad plopped down on the couch at home
stretched his arms and sighed a deep sigh --
   Just looking at him, you were tired to the bone

Five-year-old Sollie came over to...

Keep Hoping

Keeping time from going
From all those worries
That have been and gone
Keeping me company for a long time
Hearing the tide come and go

Weighed down by my father
Hoping for the arms of mother
But it gets to me sooner rather than later
Looking back to those years
No escape...

When I was young
I used to dream
Of a Valentine's message
In the school magazine.

Every year I lived in hope
But did i ever get one?
Nope :( 

Declarations of love
For the pretty girls,
But none for Miss Freckle
With the mad ginger curls.

I didn't like the way I looked,
I didn't...

When echoes of nocturnal ricochet over the nights,
Ebony and stardust fill my heart,
Erasing the sun’s gaze, inspiring the moon to blaze
With its tempting song, singing all night long –
I remember the dreams that bring rhythm to my feelings,
Tempt me to believe, even though I can’t...
