My soul
God take control!

Such t'was mine
    despair and woe
Alas, it was my world

Thy love perceived
    complex indeed
Sorrow ne'er more.

From volcano's peak
    to dungeons of despair
  Scream to a stop, gyroscope of emotions
    for you are ... not there

Scales of Despair

the scale is stuck
it won't go up
and, worse, it won't go down
so here I stand
towel in hand
fat and sporting a frown

i hold on fast to my dream
waiting for the night to dissipate
and the storm to pass

Celluloid End

Lovers lips promise despair
The needle-
Full of poison,
Houses acid daydreams
Choices are made
This is a celluloid end.

A Reason For Hope

There is so much hate
And so much malevolence
At times I despair;
At the end of an alley
Blades of grass by the garbage.

Ultimate Conquerer!

Don't despair; God is here
Instead of moaning let us cheer!
Ho who conquers everything 
And to death - where is the sting?

Blue

Pit of hell feelings
With despair and inner pain 
Mounting and growing
As sadness becomes my food
My only true sustenance

May Angels of healing mercy

May Angels of loving care

Spread their wings around you

And lift you up from all despair

Rising from dunes of despair after desert storm of strife,
I gather in the vase of quietude the strewn shards of life.

The Freedom Has Difficult Way

The freedom has difficult way,
The drumsticks are playing cello,
Totalerance searches for prey
under your blanket, fellow.

Shallow Whispers

Heart dwells in fire,
A rain of words approaches it,
Shallowness ignites despair,
The wind of shadows
Blows away the ashes.

Couplet

Oh Death, I know, will come to me as soft as a windswept cloud,
But despair and disappointment will surround me like a shroud.

Hopeless

Deep
Dark
Sadness
Overwhelms the soul
Inside
Outside
Fumbling my heart
My mind.
Hope?
Gone
Lost.
And all
In despair

Caring:
Diffusion of love’s light 
Into the darkness 
Of 
Human despair!

Today is the day
New beginning of my life
Woke up with smile…


Take off despair
Never say surrender
What makes me alive!

Never Despair

When times are troubled
and nothings going your way.
Remember what the dear lord said
“Where one door closes
another opens.”

Love

Love is a small word
For something that is so vast
That in an instant
Can turn upon a word, a
Glance to loathing and despair
Form: Tanka

Despair

In a quiet moment of solitude
I fear my life may be slipping away
I watch as it ebbs on the wind
Leaving this empty shell behind

Taken Into Care Slam

Taken into care

A desperate tale of despair

Both on social and an emotional levels

Never the twain

So much for family

Premium Member Tears

an ocean of tears
drowns my brokenhearted soul
floating on despair
the wings of love fly away
my wistful heart seeks solace
