Somewhere in the depths of despair
I saw a bare bum in the air
But how could they choose
To win or to lose
Instead of deciding to share?
she was readily born
out of the depths of despair
turning the water from murky to clear
she brought with her the willing soul of a giver
we were amazed
My will have I tried
Depths of despair have I wrought
I turn to you God

for Brian Strand's "Whatever" contest
"have you ever been in the depths of despair?"
her fiery hair burns bright as her question
yet I stay impassive, guard up
how could I have known what she meant?
I was but a child
now I understand
wearing a gorgeous blue topaz necklace
confiscated from the spoils of the Titanic
a sultry siren blows watery smoke rings in the Atlantic
waiting for a handsome naive sailor
willing to follow her down the depths of despair
where extra loot lies in wait
Catapult me
into mid air
to the edge of nowhere
don't catch me
don't you dare
let me be
you don't you care
catapult me
into mid air
to the depths of despair
naked
with nothing to wear
don't you see
i see you stare
as i fly
somewhere
far far away
out of your hair
Form:
You've filled my heart,
My empty soul
Even when
Nights were cold
Oh how I love you dearly
With you I am whole
You stay right next to me
Even in pouring rain
You've saved me once again
Even in the deep depths of despair
I thank you this day,
And I'll thank you many more
The depths of despair
no bottom for me.
This season of merry
holds no cheer, and no glee.
Thoughts of you missing
is all I can see,
your absence continues,
what life's come to be.
Realities bite
like a cold winters wind,
hangs this question that lingers,
will I see you again?
From the depths of despair, I cry out,
Only You, God, can take away my doubt.
Regret, guilt and shame are what I feel,
Grief and pain, but You can heal.
I repent, and turn away from my sin.
Viciously desperate, I invite You in.
Enter my heart, renew my mind.
Now I leave my past behind.
Depths of Despair
Rise it will not, is
Buried deep in the kernel
Of the mortal being
Soul squirming to realm beyond
Trail of blood inked black with grief

Impermanence by O.J. $traight
Inspired by Happy Hurts - Icon for Hire
My blood, my life source
I fear waking up
An atheist.
No atheists in foxholes.
Well I’m in the hole,
The pit,
The depths of despair, the
dead poets society
Carpe Diem, Seize the Day, boys
Help me.
…I’m not that innocent.
Not swimming through the depths of despair.
Not trying to make the world a better place.
The torture starts to feel better.
The torment starts to feel better.
Something beautiful dies in the dark.
Something twisted lives in the light
These glass eyes make it impossible to see.
The fog lingers, the fog lingers
Form:
Depressed I was
in the depths of despair.
I nearly gave up,
then you were there.
Wonderful man
you came to my rescue.
I stopped being sad
and started anew.
The happiest I've been
in a very long time.
Thrilled in just knowing
that you were mine.
Now I hear bells,
what can it mean?
Time to wake up
you're only a dream.
Form:
you strum my fate
softly, fingers agilely moving
on the strings of my heart
the lyrics you sing
the chords that you play
tearing into my soul
rendering memories
acoustic sound
vibrating my pain
and depths of despair
the chords are strong
a scordatura performed
reinforcing anguish
the song complete
tears glisten
and fall
from greatest joys to depths of despair.
the highs, the lows, the in-betweens;
the longtime married couple
have run the whole gamut
of their life journey.
despite hardships,
they still paddle
their canoe
across
creek.

How many times have we been to the brink
And into the depths of despair that we sink
The Hitlers, the Stalins and the Putins stand tall
To bring us to the cusp to sacrifice all
How many martyrs to the cause
Does it take to give the world pause
To count costs and to start anew
Will there be a time for peace for all not a few.

I believe I’ve found my hero
Hit rock bottom my world was zero
You built me castles in mid air
Brought me back from the depths of despair
Nurtured me and made me whole
Cherished me to my very soul
Gave me hope when my world was dark
Returned to me my hidden spark
You really mean the world to me
Because you have set my spirit free

Feels like we're on another level here
sometimes it feels like God's nowhere near
Some things happen that seem unfair
sometimes it feels like
we're in the depths of despair
Since he's been gone it's been a long time,
but that doesn't mean he's not on our mind
He was a son, a brother cousin and best friend
We were so proud of him
til the bitter end
In Poetry I Find Salvation
It has saved me
from the
depths of despair
that emanate
from living
in this world
It has taken me
to a higher level
where I live
in freedom, happiness
enjoying each day
as it slowly passes.
It has
opened my mind
taught me wisdom,
enlightened me.
I need it
like I require
food and air,
am grateful
that I found her.
Handful of stars
Washes over my face
Putting a sparkle in my eyes
Sees clearly for the first time
Cutting through the darkened shadows
That clutters the mind
The depths of despair
Slowly leaves the pain behind
Bringing smiles from an angel
Caressing my heart with love
Handful of stars
Washes over my face
Putting a sparkle in my eyes
Filling me with grace
Unhappiness is such an unnecessary drag
It pulls one down to the depths of despair,
Not something about which one will brag
Unhappiness is such an unnecessary drag,
Disgusting as a limp, damp old wash rag
If someone is unhappy, I really do care,
Unhappiness is such an unnecessary drag
It pulls one down to the depths of despair.

Each event in life will change the course of our ship
Mistakes can lead us to a better place if we let them
Though temporarily engulfed by the waves
We must endure and rise above the current
And follow the stream that swiftly flows
Into the ocean of dreams of lands unknown
It's when we drop the anchor that we grow stagnant
and sink into the depths of despair and enmity
Just as you make me proud
I want to make you proud too
But I don't know what I doubt
That keeps me shackled to the ground
And prevents me from achieving my goals
Fear of failure grips me tight
As I fight to loosen its grasp
It has over my mind and soul
Dragging me down to depths of despair
Holding me back in inertia
Denying me to see pride shine
In the eyes of the ones I love.
