Hopeless Poems - Poems about Hopeless

From Ashes, I Arose Anew

Your love flew wingless with the summer wind,
And left me stranded, hopeless, in a pit.
Alone I became too much for my mind,
With my love jailed by your self-written writ.

I was consumed by the flame of your rage,
Yet from the ashes, I arose anew.
I found a heart whose kindness could assuage,
And clean even a faintest thought

Same spirit, different bodies

What were the chances?
Even if just one percent,
I would redo the calculations,
Till my body turns to ashes.

The times we spent together—
Were the ones that made me fall in love with existance, with you.
Even when we're not on good terms,
If the universe gave me another chance,
I would.
However things aren't the same,
Like seasons,
The summer left and winter

Abandoned Hope

Graciousness forms 
the apparel of the meek,
tempered in blistering 
hues of aura crafted
with the breath of 
exhaustion sinking 
deep into the soul
of the soulless,

there it wanders 
with eyes open wide,
a pop of life silenced
by its surroundings,
forsaken lands filled
with despotic nature,
crucified 
their interior along
with their exterior,

proceeding cautiously 
as it gravitates
toward the center,
connecting humble
origins placing 
the palm

Echoes of Decrepit Days

As yellow leaves wither in the autumn breeze,
only apathetic thoughts remain 
in this nonchalant existence of 
my diseased body and over the hill mind!

It reminds me a time of agility, 
A time of struggle and celebrations,   
An age when dreams of a better future bloomed,
And leaping up those stairs to pluck the petals

Tea

“Tea”

Steam pouring forward, perhaps captured with the cold air of time
To be forgotten and lost
Blown away too quick to be tangible
Gentle momentum but me
Not so

Not even the steam ringing from hot tea
Whiskers of cinnamon promise fulfillment 
Spikes of ice hot cut it short

Forevermore longing to be
Something more then hot tea taken on an unforgiving night
Bound

Under the bleak sky of a hopeless night, where stars hide their brilliance

Under the bleak sky of a hopeless night, where stars hide their brilliance,
two lost souls wander unknown paths, seeking their light in the abyss of silence,
each unbearable day unfolds like a canvas of shadow and silence,
time rolls on and the wheels of destiny crush dreams under their silent weight.
Bones break under the burden of merciless

A Life of Almosts

She's lived a lot of "almosts"

She almost drowned under the pulsing weight 
of the river's temperamental waters when she was 12

Later on, she felt time itself suspend as she spent 
her last few seconds wondering if death would
take her quickly, while her car spiraled down the I-50, 
barreling off the ice-ridden road at a deadly

When Hope Begets Hopelessness

H ealth forsakes you
O ver and over magic tonics promise recovery
P otential healing lures promising in the trees, again
E ven Eve knows better than to pick and eat, again

Trump I-Fucation

Trump I-Fucation
Flickering beacon of light.
Red core inflamed.
Elites on the dole.
Narcissists
Me Trumps We.
Fraud:
Ace in the Hole.
GOP Rats pilfer the hold.
Viral blight dissembles.
Emperor fiddles
While chaos reigns.
Diagnosis: Deep Vain Trumposis.
Systemic Sclerosis.
Democracy Desecrated,
Pandora’s lost hope!

Hopeless

If wounds heal ,then this isn't ??,
It's my pain ,my chain ,
See - it sliced deep within my soul,
It touched my essence self .


Teach me ,not your perfect knowledge!
Shield me ,not from deadly arrows ,
Love me ,not with soft reassuring words ,
Kill my dreams oh Lord of dreams .

U gave me a purpose,ooh lord of

Shh

Sing softly, whispers are loud , they 
Talk silently,words shout,
Advice not ,sound irritates ,
Comfort not ,my ears ache ,
Hush!just be quiet !

naked mattress

naked mattress

 the naked mattress seemed more abandoned
 than on nights gone by
 when european percale sheets
 lifted like a kite from the corners
 as though they had somewhere to go
 and struggled passionately to get there.
  
 the sagging mattress appeared cold—
 now that she looked at it
 from the way he had

The Curse of the Hopeless

You hold someone down, do what they don't ask, fulfill their wildest dream, to not feel reciprocated, to feel you are being used, while your needs drift down stream.
You endure the pain; you accept your fate every time, ignoring every warning, hoping this one is the last rhymes.
We do this always; we do this cause

Key

You found the door -
The door which protected my worst nightmares
I didn't know existed,
and sheltered the basic needs my heart shunned
but never new it pined for 

Tell me you didn't

You found the key
that unlocked the spring to my eternal winter,
the warmth to an endless frigid existence,
the glow within my ceaseless, hopeless night -
the feast no

Lost Dreams, New Life

My friends live in the dark periphery of life
       Hopeless guys
They were also born into this world, like us
  Some of them are poor, some of them are rich
  And some of us come from the middle class

We are the same. Everybody. – Something wrong to
