How would anyone deal with depressive loneliness
when even the dreariest thoughts allow great fear?
Hiding in that lonely world seems right for some,
having nothing is giving up everything even love;
choose joy or pain, dance alone or drink a beer:
see others indulge in happiness, refill your glass!
How useless is believing in miracles,
they only happen to the lucky ones;
anyone showing that hopeless mood
can't achieve any goal feeling brood!
I have often delt with loneliness overwhelmed by distress:
wasn't I smiling when all was quickly tumbling down,
keeping it to myself, laughing harder than a clown?
Don't hold anything inside, reach out and confide in others!
I envied anyone who had someone to live for, to laugh with?
Wasn't it too wrong to be denied the right to love and smile?
Was I kept from many wishes staring at stars and not wish on one?
Who believes that we are chosen by fate to be marthyrs from birth?
She is the taste
Of sunshine after rain.
An embodiment of hope
Through the dreariest days.
Warm healing energy
And a calm golden soul.
Gentle and soft
Highlighting the bright
Of her ever beaming smile.
She reminds you of childhood
And innocent trust.
Her very being
Tells you its okay.
Be yourself.
Do what you want.
She’s your biggest cheerleader
Through every effort you make.
She is sunshine
In her optimistic ways
Shining through your rain
In your pessimistic thinking.
She is there
Whenever you need her to be.
She is your reminder
That not all is lost
In this darkening world.
She illuminates even the dreariest places,
With all of the vibrant colors she puts on,
Trailing sweet fragrance through the hours,
Her vague memory putting smiles upon faces!
Her visage glows in the wonder of sunny days,
A spring debutante, aging in summer's glaze.
Silent and mysterious, an enigmatic dreamer,
Vivaciously spreading joy, where she visits.
Star of noon gardens, where cardinals croon,
She is cherished by everyone, under the moon.
Even the
dreariest
of days
are soon
forgotten
once she
smiles
in my dreariest of moods
whose eyes will light up my day
when yours are gone
When you see there's nothing left
May you still do what is right
And not focus on yourself
But on what others might
May pure be your du jour
In all you hope to find
And love the only cure
On which you spend your time
May your cup always be full
As you're sipping from your dreams
And your highs never run low
In the promises life keeps
May the sun come out and shine
On your dreariest of days
And blessings always find
The place your head is laid
I pray you always feel at home
Wherever you may go
And all the joy you find
Never leaves you alone
May you always have a smile
One that really counts
Showing off your beauty
From the inside out
May this all apply to you
Be it old or be it new
And may these blessings always hold you tight
In what ever you go through
Dreary morning goes to bright array
As the clouds move away.
Body feeling warm from sun ray
As it brightens my day.
Having friends far away
Brighten my day
When they drop me a line.
Such warmth from their love
Brightens the dreariest day.
A cool wind blows
As the snow disappears
From the bright rays.
Just like seeing smiles
Upon their cheeks.
Musical seranades
Dances like warm breezes
Upon our souls.
I look into those big brown eyes,
and I am filled with so much fear.
The thought of you, not being by my side,
not being here, or near...
Out of all the overwhelming pain in life,
this shakes my core, my continent.
They won't understand my cher ami,
my sweet constant confident...
That the thought of you not being in my life,
would be the dreariest, dreariest fog.
I love you Suki, with all my heart.
You were more than just a dog.
My Love for HER by Kenny Davis
My love for HER
Runs deeper than the many depths of the ocean
The thought of holding HER in my arms
Has me swept up with emotion
My love for HER
For me, makes HER more than a mere token
Much more than a mere prize to be won
More than mere words can be spoken
My love for HER
Runs over like water of the fountain
For HER, I’d cross the widest river
Or climb the tallest mountain
My love for HER
Has warmed my heart, when it was frozen
That why SHE indeed is
The one I have chosen
My love for HER
Crosses time, it lasts much longer
For with each day that passes
My love for HER grows stronger
My love for HER
Allows my spirit to sing
My love for HER is richer than
That of the treasures of the wealthiest of kings
My love for HER
Shelters me from the dreariest of storms
For my love for HER burns like a fire
Keeping my beating heart warm.
My love for HER is
Worth more than its weight in gold
Piercing the very core of my being
Illuminating the very essence of my soul
My love for HER
Runs far beyond measure
For it is indeed my love for HER
That my heart shall forever timely treasure.

See the misty drizzle falling on the ocean
Tea steaming on your bungalow stove
Free particles of vapor evaporate
Tree limbs bow ‘neath raindrops as to shore you rove
Be at peace as you open your umbrella
Lee are the winds as they rock boats in the harbor
Ye who live a modest life are wrapped in thoughts of
He who dwells on the distant island castle, object of your ardor
Tea still releasing steam adds to the haze
Three tiny sips of chamomile put you at ease
Glee fills your heart on this dreariest of days
Wee crabs scurry forth, your toes to tease
*Entry for Rick Parise’s “Lento Poetry” contest
On my awaking,
March's bright sun begins to rise...
dazing the blue sea,
to let the shrills of seagulls
cheer up the dreariest shore.
.
Into the sunrise lake of my own sunset
I shall wade and sink with nary a ripple.
There in the penubra of the dark skyline,
I shall be, blissfully,
nothing again.
Blown away by the worst wayward winds,
Trapped, stranded in the dreariest doldroms,
I have stayed undaunted, kept unshaken
the faith in better
things to come.
The heaving halo of the partly sunken sun
Now sends thin shafts of shimmering light
That streak through my lengthening shadow.
Still, I shall remain
grateful and true.
.
There's a lovely wind out here,
and it blows aspirations of what we dream
Hello! Lemon sour suns, basking in the ray
With friends of "special friends" plus the
Benefit of just feeling
What is the touch by laughter that tingles my spine
On all sides it's fun to play both
Especially when the memories of yesterday
Makes many fear, where be the rain?
Clouds linger around into the warm chessnut house we'll run
Snuggled to keep what's out from in here
Silence......because many is so lost with words
Be still my child, for even the dreariest storms blow away
In this house we shall rise, to sit back again
Amongst "friends"
But I'm so confident in life, even my enemies can dine
Feast on morality and kindness once a while
There's a lovely wind out there
It blows in bloom this life
Fragrented by the aroma of us
Yes, the lucky ones we call human
To watch and help this delicate flower grow
Back out the door,"Hello my pucker tasted friend
My sun, my son, my daughter
Come my children it's time to go outside and play again"
Unlocking the heart
Words that flow naturally
Unlock life's deepest thoughts.
Finding the dearest or dreariest.
Enlightening intensely.
Unlocking mysteries.
Seizing ecstasy…experiencing.
Loving God and teaching.
Reaching…maturity.
Together, life, love, and wisdom,
Flow, hand in hand, knowing.
Growing, making being replete—
Unlocking the heart.
Until the soul…becomes,
Complete.

Poetic form: Free Verse
what do i do
but sit here and thing about you
why can't there every really be someone there
someone who will be beside me
take care of me
and hold me through the good and bad
keep me safe and make me laugh
to put a smile on my face
even on the dreariest days
someone who can love me for me
one who can make me feel special.
someone who will bring me a single rose
just because its Tuesday.
or take me out just because.
one who will compliment me at my worst
is there any person of the male species
that is like that.
one who isn't dead, taken or gay?
all i'm asking is for one guy
one gentleman,
Just One.
to make a difference.
