Eye (a generic happy go lucky arachnid) hope(d) for a miracle
Harken and cue lyrics to All I Need Is a Miracle
Song by Mike + The Mechanics.
Aye, a quizzical hunky-dory

forsooth to see himself as a mister

much about ado about nothing to write,

not as great as I had hoped
Not as great as I hoped the inventor said
Strong coffee laxative went to his head
His hair frizzed up like Einstein’s crazy mop.
I think I shall drink this to the very last drop
Your face said you did not like it said his wife.
Apparently, she did not understand his weird life.
If he did not feel punished, he

More Than We Had Hoped For
both in our separate worlds
and when fall fell upon us
destinies coming together
our hearts collided
our lives meshing as one

I Hoped It Was His Yawn Eye
I would have been more fearful if I had not been studying leopards.
I knew not to run, but I stopped whistling and walked confidently.
I felt lucky he was giving me the “yawn” eye.
And prayed it was not the “I’m going to take my time eating you” eye.

What She Had Hoped For
The older lady used words that no one remembered.
We were not sure if they were mean or glad.
But they spewed out in crazy ways.
Hitting people in their faces
Clawing at their eyes.
Smacking us in our noses.
Maybe they are bad words my uncle suggested.
He was a sailor, so he recognized the connotation.
The content was an anomaly.
We smiled

Hoped
Wish him truly to be happy in life.
Know very well I cannot live with him.
Don't know, how I'll stay away from his life
Yet, I've to ensure to lead life alone.
I won't be able to fake my feeling
if by chance face him suddenly somewhere.
Wish him truly to be happy in life.
Know very well I cannot live

Cold Tears
Cold Tears
Cold are the slow running tears. Cold.
Stunning. Not ignorable.
Hated.
Cold because they know they shall be hated, because pain or grief or conflict and not tenderness has created them. Hated tears. Not born from joyful prayers, nor from gut-shaking laughter, or from being witness to splendor.
The

She Hoped Someone Would Notice
she got smaller and smaller
hoping he would notice
he never looked up
he called for his supper
but she could not answer
for her voice had shrunk too
it had shrunk into nothingness
she thought others might notice
but sadly no one did, so she made herself a nest
in a tiny dust ball, and laid down to die.

More Than I Hoped You'D Be
More than I hoped you'd be
You are...more than I hoped you'd be
You're the sweet nectar to this honey bee
I...I have been drawn ...to you
One....is now... the sum of two
I've found a treasure known to none
No need to keep digging this tunnel of love
You...you have given sight to blind eyes
Now all I can see...is you, you

Dreams Hoped For
HOPE IS THE BEAUTY OF WATERING THE SEED YOU GREW IN YOUR HEART FROM VISION
UNSEEN BY OTHERS, MATURED FROM BELIEVING IN YOURSELF AND A HIGHER POWER, BUT
NEVERTHELESS YOU HAVE TOO STAY POSITIVE AND LIVE IN THE DILIGENCE OF YOUR
DREAMS HOPED FOR, AND A AMBITIOUS ENVIRONMENT. PUSHING FORWARD IN THE RIGHT
MENTAL MINDSET SHOWING DOUBT THE EXIT,

All I Ever Hoped For
around the time your eyes met mine
i ran in fields of those unclean-
i saw you stand with feet so sore
awaiting stars that shall align
for you’re the one that i adore-
your cashmere moon sees stars serene;
a song with tunes caught in between

Towards a Hoped-For Destination
The old gal next to me
Doesn't move too fast anymore,
But she's always been beside me...
I can't imagine what for.
The old guy next to her
Doesn't move very fast either;
Would rather not be without her...
Walking slowly together.
We look the same direction;
Pushing, pulling each other forward,
Towards an unseen destination-
Towards a hoped-for destination.
If the Good Lord's willing,
We'll keep progressing
