Loss Of Hope Poems - Poems about Loss Of Hope

When Fields Becomes Cities

Once there stood a golden field,
Swaying crops, a farmer's yield.
Morning songs of birds took flight,
Beneath the sky so vast and bright.

The village paths, of dust and stone,
Where children laughed and cattle roamed,
Now paved with tar, so smooth and wide,
Where restless cars and buses glide.

The thatched-roof homes with lantern’s glow,
Replaced by lights in glassy rows.
The banyan

Premium MemberTHE DEVIL NAMED DEMENTIA

I'm in a pickle
Soured sometimes I cry
Because there's not much time here 
For I will soon leave memories behind
There is no time for regrets
No time for bitterness
Nothing needs to be undone
I'm only space filled with skin and bones
A beautiful mind only remembers from long ago
I brushed my teeth today
I dressed myself
Combed my hair
I looked in

The Echo Returns Not

In the stillness of a twilight hour,
Where shadows stretch and silence grows,
I call out to the fading light,
But the echo returns not, as it goes.
Beneath the boughs of ancient trees,
Whispers linger on the breeze,
Yet every word I cast in air
Is swallowed whole by the unseen seas.
I stand beside the silent brook,
Its waters murmur tales of

Premium MemberStill My Heart

A small hint of a scent held me to the spot.
 Where not so long ago, you grounded me with what you had taught.
 
 You wisely taught me every little thing.
 While now I want to stomp and scream, until the sting

 Of your passing is less than the fear I felt,
 When I

Premium MemberWhen Hopeless Comes Loss It's Hope

When hopeless comes
Hope with less is Hope
I so am feeling I so expected 
There's a desire for a certain something to happen 
I'm on fire in the unknown

A feeling of trust 
In the unknown in this I desire 
To be accompanied by expectations
And I believe in the fulfillment to come
I want something to happen

Release Me

Release me from the sadness we see everyday.

Show me how to help the homeless.

Teach me the way.



Release the tools,help me to cope.

Loosing love ones to COVID

Please teach me hope.



Release love, scatter it everywhere.

Give it to as many as you can.

Teach me the way, to show how much I care..



Release the fun, Christmas is coming soon.

Show

One On the Chin

I know life is fleeting, it all but crumbles to dust,
willessly washed away by the passage of time.
So easily lain waste and forgotten.

Yet for me who knew her dearest,
so easily enamoured by her graceful nature,
swooned over by her cosmic appeal,

chose not to sever ties with this short life.  
But honour her in my lasting

Premium MemberFinding Happiness 2

It seems every day is a struggle to listen to your heart.
 
The lessons learned in your head get in the way I've found.

Your head warns your heart of pain remembered...

Or maybe it's the other way 'round?

The joy you felt from those whom you loved and were loved by,
is always tainted with the hurt from

If I Could Read Your Mind

If I Could Read Your Mind

If I could read your mind my dear, as kindred spirits do
I'd take you back in time my love, to when cupid's arrow flew 
Then to that time, a not too distant past, when your world fell apart
A time your love departed and left a shattered broken heart
I'd mend your

Behind This Four Walls

Behind this four walls, 
I've seen my babies crawl, 
Underneath the wishful wells, 
I've watched my penny fall, 
Still I choose to stay, 
Isolated and far away, 

I've lived in hope of sunlight, 
But all I get is twilight, 
Under the black night I hope for twinkle, 
And the blue skies I need glitter and

I'M At C

I can't imagine, I don't know
If your heart is bleeding hurt;
Or are you carefree laughing?
Thought you'd abort
And leave me grabbing,
For a ledge
Just on the edge
Of oblivion,
Most precise
Division, fission, scission,
In so little concise;
But if you are happy
I sincerely hope you are merry,
This is not meant to be sappy
Of this happening I was weary,
Speeding on a highway

Little Did I Know

Little Did I Know...

All was rosy, all was bright..;
Nothing but hope and happiness in sight..!!
Always carried a smile..;
As, everything that I wanted was going to be mine...!!Little did I know,
All this has always been a lie..;
Very soon all my happy dreams are gonna die..!!
Little did I know,
That I was surrounded, not by people but wolves

In the Woods

I found your clothes
And your little pink lunchbox
Why was it you they chose
Of you, nobody talks

How old were you
What was your name
I wish I knew
Who was to blame

I hope there wasn't pain
I hope it didn't last long
Maybe your name was Jane
Did you see them come along

Why do they do this
They take peoples lives
Take a girl

You Bring Me What Is Next

You bring promise to me.  

What had happened throughout my life I do not understand.
I wondered,  
Is a soul’s expression cut down because it is no longer functional when evil reigns?  
Is expression elite,
select,
for the pure of heart.
Is it no longer at the heart of work when work is all that is

An Appeal From a Desperate Young Man

It's hardships if less inspired 
                     Life direction will be direct less
            And your decision making becomes pointless
