Desperation Poems

Here

Here I am.
Everywhere we were.

Empty as is.

Capillaries fill with her,
like rotting roots under trees.

More than I deserve.
I’ve found your silence beneath
feeding truths in buried leaves.

To preserve,
to please.
’Til you return,
I plead.

Please Tell Me: A Response to the Film 'Grown Ups'

Please tell me it’s summer every day of the year.

Please tell me that Aerosmith plays from the sky.

Please tell me that heaven’s a basketball court.

Please tell me that everyone’s life has a point.

Please tell me that no one is ever alone.

Please tell me that dying is easily explained.

Please tell me that broken birds get back

Desperation

  
      Inspiration yields to desperation
        with each tick of the clock
      underarms damp as the back of your knees
        soiling even your frumpy frock... 

    

In My Desperation

In my desperation 
I find hope
In my struggle 
I find peace
In my hurt and disappointment
I find comfort
And a renewed sense of belonging
In my brokenness
A desire to reach the only one that can help me
In my desperation 
I can see where man can not satisfy my longings
In my desperation 
All my hearts desires are recognized and

Aching Winds

I touched the sky, left the land
Dwindling in the galaxy, I felt your hand.
The Perseus sparkling through my eyes
The twilight fading between my cries.
Your hand helped me climb to my throne
Ornately beautiful, a kind of its own!
The clock turned by , my sorrows withered
The throne was my crown, your hand was my tether.
The glorious days

Desperation

Please make it stop
The hurt
The pain
The thoughts
The loss
The emotion
The tears 

She doesn't deserve
The words
The torment
The blame
The guilt
The stress
The anguish

I promised there would be
No anger 
No resentment
No hatred
No pressure
No expectations
No sadness

But it won't stop.  
The verses keep coming
In my heart I know
I've kept my promises
Though I know it doesn't seem it

What do you do
when your head feels like
a million pounds,
your chest is buried
underground,
where worms and slugs
and filth abound,
and rocks compound overhead,
compounding a heaviness
which even the heaviest cannot heave.

Where mere moments make a millennia
of torment -
For sleepless nights
make endless days
and endless days make immortality -

And mine is underground

Far
  Far
    Underground

Where hell itself

The awful rain

I Loath rain
Each drop akin a piercing sword,
Like swords dropping from mighty lord
Weighing my pain, and ravishing my heart
Sharp as light, wrecking my might,
Taking me captive as my heart is light,
From an extent unknown
To depths I've never known
And my world?
It's all but raining since you left
I sit by side of nothing
I see the view of

calm after storm, XXV

pulse on the roots of my hair
spread on the bed

i ripped off my sheets to find consolation
my fingers bled

searched every corner for a crumb of freedom
the city stayed

saw the blinds shaken from the storm
my future is dead.

My Hearts Bleeds

My heart bleeds for you, a crimson tide,
For all the joys you've pushed aside.
The laughter lost, the sunlit days,
The gentle touch, the loving gaze.

You chase a path, a twisted way,
Ignoring whispers, light of day.
The seeds of sorrow, you have sown,
A harvest bitter, to be known.

One day regret will grip your soul,
A heavy weight, beyond control.

Finger Pointing

You say I should/
Pay for my crimes/
But, I'm innocent/
You won't be satisfied/
Till you put/
A bullet in my head/
You call me *****/
Because of my conviction/
But, I don't stoop/
To that level/
I never done that/
But, you won't stop/
Even after my body/
Lays in the ground/
You will always/
Have a reason/
To find fault with me/
You call yourself/
A... Christian/
But, your love for

Held Together, Falling Apart

I am filled with rage and frustration. I’m doing my best, pushing forward with everything I have, yet I feel forced to halt my own progress. In a tempestuous fury, I question you.

I lead, I strive, and every step feels like a battle with you. You have it easy, assuming I’ll shoulder everything while you

Everything and no one

I gaze at the Highlands’ mountains and try to force myself to feel joy in its entirety.  
But I can’t.  
Look how beautifully the sun plays on the rocks like its pressing keys: white for light, black for darkness.  
And who am I? Darkness, light? Half-shadow? Twilight?  
I am a cloud.

Ghost

I stare at the ceiling,
Lost in soliloquies, 
Engulfing myself in that feeling. 
The clock ticks,
the breath stops, 
my heart beats slow down, 
another smothering desperation. 
They say “You’re made of memories”
then what would I be made of?
a nightmarish scream or,
to be the sole soul on this path.
The ghost of my laugh lingers around
reminding me that

FRAGMENTS

WHAT'S  COMFORT?
The way you hold me when the world suppress
the warm  touch when the anxiety triggers
pulling me out of the darkness of hollowness
telling me to seek comfort from you.
Being the sun of my dark sky
when I can't find the  ray of hope.

The way you clean the food bites around my mouth
while I
