Winter's frozen tears

Scattered on despairing ground 

Sparkling diamonds!

Father wants breakfast
Groaning to find the settings
To high, four minutes, and on
Pressure cooker despairing -
"Now what? Eggs are hard!"...

Despairing all the popular belief
We are working for your relief
Creating millions of jobs
To pacify all you slobs
Oh, and don't believe what you read...

A lonely lady who was despairing
Was in need of some urgent repairing
So since she was alone
Plus no man on the phone
A bottle of wine made a good pairing...

He would change the world when he was young
    Fires of righteousness leapt from his tongue

  Despairing of success when he turned old
    He but changed himself ~ the world enrolled...

The parody of caring
Is sentimental love—
When bliss becomes despairing,
It crashes from above.

Love’s mirror no more pleases
With smiles as once before—
It shatters into pieces…
Sharp shards upon the floor....

Jealousy was deep
Within my heart,
But it had always kept me 
In a prison of despairing
And deluding thoughts.
Free of such feelings,
I now see how jealousy only increases
Questions of confusion,
It never brings joyful endings....

Where are the good-willed men and women
who rang the bell, "peace on earth?"
The bell rings dimmer and dimmer.
God is at hand, witnessing the carnage, asking
"are they mocking me?" 
Peace will fail,
anarchy will prevail,
mocks the song, louder and louder....

Candle burning, at both ends
Spend it all, fast as it spends

Despairing, dying, bleeding heart
Cry for mercy, get torn apart

Shattered world, broken sky
Cataclysm coming, we all shall die

Ticking bomb, dwindling time
Destroy the Earth, our final crime...

Agog, I in flutter, in love, first sight 
Eyes all rapt, locked up, in fixed stare, glaring
Smitten by beauty, enraptured my plight,
Could not draw my eyes away, despairing
That this love adorning was forewarning
Of frustration, fraught with disappointment 
Looming up inevitably, not meant....

DEPLANING OF 1964

enigmatic,
four souls
rocking voices,
idol haircuts, a drum,
guitars and a smile…

fainting, waving,
heads bobbing,

despairing boyfriends
and parents

seems like,
yesterday

I wanna hold your hand-
edness

got out of hand,
helter-skelter in view

Apart from you I'am nothing but at the helm of catastrophe; wayward, in a clouded storm that's avowed to sojourn the opaque sea robed in the disregard that drowns in its tumultuous waters, where many have sank in its despairing courtesy, despite its many warnings.

As the Cup Runneth Over

	           thirst
             dire, immediate
 pleading, despairing, compelling
 newborns, world, pneuma, rivers
    living, assuaging, redeeming
            quenched, blessed
                  wellspring

The truth is whispered in the wind.
  A lone eagle screeches
  Calling out 
  "Remember the persecuted". 

  Men, women and children
  cast out
  Into the Scottish winter.
  Despairing to God

  Sheep now graze
  Over the dereliction.
  Scottish  blood 
  Still spatters the heather.

  Amen...

Born into hope, a mother's
Her world, made bright for it
A cause of tears, despairing
And world's hellish despairing
To be, son did permit.

"Life are you to blame"; he roars.
Looked upon, itself, as
A bad influence. "You, life!
Thwarts what's best for one; gale-rife.
Voicing, from all sides, crass"....

Endearing Encouragement
I am so sadden
I dress in black grey apparel
I need encouragement, hope
I am related to not promised minority
I vacation in the valley of death
My job is despairing
I desire Redemption and pairing hope

Around, all around, the angels gather.
My dread grows as the Dark One's touch falls against my
heart. It wounds me, and darkly my
blood drips to the fallen despairing leaves.
In unholy terror I beg forgiveness
while Death's shadow surrounds me
Now alone, my cascade of tears falls upon dead eyes.
This is Hell...

This bright a day
Cannot convince
The smallest bit
Or ever since

This bright a day
Survived the dark
The cold alike
And lived to spark

The story of
A time inside
In all of us
A place reside

And now that we
Have seen its grace
To wreck it all
By will erase

Destroy it too
Aversion who
And live in dark
Despairing you...

Grieving; I weep silently
As daylilies die daily
A slow death but violently
Their leaves a yellow shaley

Feelings that are despairing
Heart pain, actual sorrow
Tears because you're uncaring
Grieving cause you killed yarrow     

Actual form: Ae Freislighe (aye freshly) and Irish form...

Our Father, life giving light,
Redeemer of the plains

Carry our offerings into your heart,
remember, we serve in your name

Spirit Redeemer, the mountains and hills,
distant and barren in lore

The drums have restarted, the chanting begun,
the People despairing no more

The Piano,
breath taker, truth shaker, peacemaker.
Notes tickled by yearning fingers, declaring,
all sides of life, flat and sharp, daring,
with black and white keys pairing,
bringing together whatever is tearing,
harmoniously uniting, alluring and sharing,
all the rhapsodies joyful and despairing
in one whole universal bearing....
