crisp brittle stillness
severely cheerless moonface
celestial sapphire sky
starry frost forming
crystalline icy embrace
shivering aspens quiver

Clouds dappled on blue can
coalesce into banks;
creating a dull, drab,
cheerless, depressing day,
consistent with rain and
children's disappointment.

Drag me away with
hooded lids
to the dark of you.
Give axe to gates
protecting cheerless
spirit under siege.
Swallow me in haste
lest I discover
we cannot.

When i awake
and find the world
empty,
I feel inanimate
and cold...
So I become less
living-lipped friend,
and further friend
of dead violets
and dark winds...!

Death strikes brief
Cast of grief
Curtain call chill
Weary works will
Sheer silence still
Prune primal prance
Dreary death dance
Cheerless crude chance

Bess’s expressions were grotesque
Most usually weirdly cheerless
She is under unusual duress
Her family is an utter mess
Bess is playing poker more or less
Her deadpan expression not needless
A stickler for rules more or less
My watercress-loving friend named Bess

I feel like a dusty blade
with nothing to cut
You said I didn't have the guts
to fill the neon skies
A cheerless languid
five o clock shadow
You stole my castle
and that I hadn't the paint
A cheerless restlessness
with words I tossed
were like the envelopes of yesterday

The day is grey, no sun peeks through
But then again I heard from you
A comment here a comment there
In fact comments almost everywhere
The sun is shining in my heart
The greyness of the days depart
You lighten up my cheerless day
Can’t wait to see what’s new today

A white pumpkin? My first thought:
A large white fleshless bony hand
or two, joined at the wrists to creepily band
together to form a gourd;
reaching out of the cold ground
toward the stem, all around;
it doesn’t strike a festive chord
a cheerless harvest hybrid; my last thought…

emotional big dipper
going up and then
speeding down
my mind is in a spin
how did I get here?
I don’t like the face staring back at me
so cheerless
hazel eyes without their shine
a broken mirror
dissimilar views
in between the heartache
and expectant dreams

cheerless, wretched life
failure cycling
gaping rictus of
disheartened gloom
preying on
my soul’s regret
faith chagrined
headlong plummet
into darkness’
gaping maw
I depart

Sweetened fair caress
Dreaming sallow mountaintops
Bleached yummy delight
Mello crimson mix
Sensing scarlet falling leaves
Mouthwatering pleasure
Russet mixed within
Cheerless delighting nature
Succumbs emotions

A real man smiles in stormy seasons
He tries to tame his timely tears.
A brave man smiles for unknown reasons...
He strives to starve his flaws and fears.
No one is born flawless and fearless,
Life is a potpourri of bloom and gloom.
Some chose to be hopeless and cheerless,
By giving gloom an ample space to bloom.

Lyric
Lanza Del Relampago,
Feel from the sky on the wings of a crow.
Desiccating the dismayed spring,
And Illuminating.
Me on my cheerless lies,
And darkened eyes.
For evermore it is overlapping in crimson tears,
With an un-blissful joy that no one can bear.
For feelings left unsaid,
Is a sin that no mortal should thread.

Helpless, breathless,
that's how you make me
feel.
Boundless, matchless:
your love makes my
dreams real.
Cheerless, hopeless,
I was lost in tears in times
past.
Priceless, timeless:
what we share is such a
blast.
Clueless, speechless,
your glow locks up my lips.
Fearless, doubtless,
my heart is on a strong trip.

Demise of my Horses
I had been a way for a few days
visiting the aunts of Cascais, and
found my stone horses gone.
Just three cheerless holes were
They had been tethered.
The widening
of the road, they said and for
that beauty must go.
If they decide to make a motorway
close neighbours will be divided.
Sun and rain, spectacular my horses were
before turned into grit.

Listen to poem:
Woebegone woe beset, be gone
A Wobbegong dumbed down in dumps
Forlorn in doldrums deep and glum
For the taste of glum is dour and sour
Mirthless and mournful, cheerless and doleful
Apparel crestfallen, disheveled, long-face, appalled
Butt out, begone, woebegone Wobbegong, long in tooth
Trim your beard, its shaggy and scummy, and glumly
See more sea, and be seen in scene on screen.

J ust too cold outside for man or beast
A bsolutely freezing in the bedroom at night
N ot interested in building a snowman, thanks
U nwilling to feign interest in 'bobsledding'
A nother gloomy, cheerless day, so depressing
R ead, read, read one's way through the month
Y ear in, year out, it's a pitched battle for survival

Hang onto hope midst a cheerless sky
Hang onto hope; in the face of reason fly
Hang onto hope when those around you despair
Hang onto hope; there's a rainbow somewhere
Fill your heart with love: the sky will be sunny
Fill your heart with love: life's sweeter than honey
Fill your heart with love; all your words will ring true
Fill your heart with love and the world will love you iiiii

This life....
It is but a gossamer drama
a transient moment snatched
from Eternity
till twilight, brief and cheerless
claims our hearts and sets us free
impatient for our
immortality...

A wistful breeze blows through the trees
as summer nears its end
September beckons to the fall
Its old and brooding friend
The blue of sky, the butterfly,
birds that sing on high,
will flutter with my doleful sighs
as summer bids goodbye
The somber sound of autumn bells
with falling leaves they ring
until they cast a gloomy spell
with the cheerless winds they bring

Do not let the past control your mind,
leave all its pains and hurt behind...
This world we live in is wonderful,
forget the bruises, you are beautiful.
Strange challenges and cheerless mood
can never stop God from being good.
His anchor holds those who stay faithful...
God truly cares; you are beautiful.
Future fortune may look unattainable,
with faith and hope all things are possible.
Never let the devil make you fearful,
all will be well, you are beautiful.

Lyric
My mama said to get a man,
I first must prove myself a cook.
I could not feed him from a can.
I tried to learn how from a book
And sought to make a chocolate cake.
I didn't care how long it took.
I set the oven high to bake
Then sat to watch my favorite soap
And to plan the menu I would make.
The cake was burned without a hope.
It was a cheerless sight to see,
The smoke so thick I had to grope.
Since it seems a chef I'll never be,
I'll find a man to who cooks for me.
