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
spied re: anomaly doth attest
forsooth to see himself as a mister
re: wordsmith, with whimsical
much about ado about nothing to write,
who hoped for a miracle

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

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

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.

Every Hoped For Wish


  
In the thunderstorm of my lifetime each wish came so shining true!
Tell me, then why cannot I wake tomorrow, being twenty-two?

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,

What We Hoped For

rod never employed
children acting like children
softly spoken words
clear, gentle, admonishments
calm, compassionate adults

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

A Life In Retrospect and a Life Hoped For

The years increased and agéd now—between
first birth and the burnt embers of my dotage—
I yearned and pined for a God-like machine
with which to vitalize my wrinkling image;
my youth extinguished long before Life’s hour
ran its course, I succumbed to melancholy
as I loved not nor lived with Love’s great power
within my lifetime—damned be this my folly!
Only faith

It's What We Hoped For

It’s What We Hoped For!

By Elton Camp

“At last it’s happened,” Candice gushed
She handed the test results to Robert
Her joyous smile was matched by his
The couple embraced and kissed

“So, daddy, what do you think about that?”
“It’s the best news ever,” he responded
The time would be a bit over six months
Doctor Royce had explained with a grin

“You

My Hoped For Hallowed Eve of Bliss

There’s not one Halloween I count as dear
although I loved those childhood times.  If I
think back to long ago and then go by
the feelings they evoked in me, then it is clear. . . 

One “Hallowed Eve” is an example of
my yearning for those boys I fantasized
about and all the ways that I devised

I Know That You Hoped For Long Good Goodbyes

Blood splattered walls,
The death of loved ones tearing your life apart,
The evidence of hopelessness escaped through the heart.

We always tell ourselves that it will never happen to us,
Blinded by the hopes and dreams,
When you find out all that’s left is sobs and screams.

Hold on for as long as possible,
Try to taste the last bit of
