Desperate Poems

Echo a Desperate Plea

In the ebonic afterglow, I hope for your return…
—by poet

Echo a Desperate Plea

Anxious calling across a mountain ravine.
Breathless in frigid heights, plummeting d
Callousness of the deaf-defying beast.      e
Desperate to penetrate distance; pinpoint.   g
Echo of eeriness returns to me thrice.         

What If He Says That to Our Daughter

-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind.

“Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together.

Late at night,
when silence drapes

My reflection, fragile and desperate face that gazes at me from the silence of the mirror

My reflection, fragile and desperate face that gazes at me from the silence of the mirror,
I despise you for the dark shadows you’ve planted in my soul without consent,
You’ve brought a desperate version of me into the gallery of lost reflections,
Leaving the memory of tears silently flowing in bathroom stalls,
Yet you defied my wishes, tearing

Black Hole Eyes

O blackish-blue-eyed girl
with eyes lined with ember,
who dreams of clouds
and endless skies,

Let me gaze into your eyes,
once more,
as they bloom like a flower,
pulling me into their depths.
O girl with captivating eyes,
grant me the chance
to love you once again.

A violent storm arose,
dust swirled, veiling the earth,
and in the sky,
I saw your mesmerizing eyes,
drawing me into you,
like

New Kiss

Next year will be the year,
The year you're here.
The year you're here for that new Kiss.

That kind of kiss that goes down once a year,
Right after all that is old passes by.

It passes by like you pass me by,
You pass me up you pass me by.

I look forward to that night,
That night you stay awhile.
When

Desperate Measures

I repeatedly said NO to becoming a circle member
On several different occasions as I can remember
The things that are done are really not such a secret
Harvest, harness, control who's targeted as a threat
Wanting nothing of the cult, coven, or secret society
Stalked, alone, isolated with paranoia and anxiety
Taunting me with fear, so I would not tell

hearing a desperate dog cry

desperate dog cry
alerting all owners
my ears listen hard

Desperate prayer from a suffering husband

His wife sang so bad, he prayed god to make him deaf,
He said “oh God, or let her elope with my chef,
if she goes i will be so glad,
the chef cooks good shall miss him bad,
forgive! if I pray with words beginning with F!

Dry and Desperate

This longing in my heart
A yearning as deep as the ocean
An emptiness in my soul
A void as the depth of the hades

Like a fallen branch from off the vine
I am as dead as the dried leaf
Sired by a bloated wish and questions
Hungry I am for a will to fulfill 

Lost to the course of myself
The

Letting go

I feel empty, but sane
A flower surrounded by rain 
Lost in my mess of thoughts 
From all the sayings I've been taught 
'Life gives you lemons, 
Make lemonade.' 
But just like me, the flavor will fade
'Patients is the key to greatness.'
But I've been waiting, yet I'm still filled with loneliness 
My life is boring and

Be Mine

Eventually,
I get everything I want,
Even if my list goes endlessly,

But now,
In this moment,
All I want
Are ur arms,
Ur hands,
Ur eyes,
To be mine to look at

I want something,
That I can't have
And it hurts
Like crazy

To fall asleep,
With u beside me,
So I won't have to pretend,
Or dream,
That you were here

To escape
This wretched,
Twisted reality,
With you by my side,

All I want...
All

Desperate Hope

“Hope becomes desperate when the view is the sun.”
	           - Quote by Poet

Tomorrow seems far away,
Today hides something needed,
Today veils something to be seen,
Tomorrow heralds a different pursuit.

There’s a call to come,
There’s a summon from the deep,
Light is leaving to another room,
Though not lost but

Desperate Hope

While gelid breezes of winter, quiver emotions of decaying rays,
And arc of horizon cedes to dusk, evoking grimace of malaise,
Casting shadows tenebrous, shrouding glimmer of a slowing day,
Desperate hope lingers still, in resplendence of autumn’s decay;

Gawking in yonder, where gamboge-orange woodlands fade,
Reminiscing in seasons harkening, realms of love now evade,
Mindful of the broken vows, when
