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

Defining..!
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.

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

LAMENT poem type
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
(From ‘The Book Of Prayers:’ September, 2020)
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.
When the words don’t lure me with their muse,
Desire to pour out hopes, dreams, light that bleeds,
Wetting the beauty of my heart’s best seeds,
Emptying the feelings, once caged by pain, shame,
Thoughts meant to be penned, poetry, mapped out,
Despairing of the urge to stay buried by a trail of can’t.
The world has indeed been forgetting me
Forgetting me cruelly
As waste that neither grow nor breathe
It is a fermentation of anger and despair
As Despairing as it struggles with anger
At the unknowns in dark
Gleefully silence compares with the sunshine
The sunshine does have evils
Telling that today I cannot forget about
Polish the beacon of your face
and give the weary world a smile;
despairing people need some grace.
Polish the beacon of your face;
make optimism commonplace
and luminous joy your lifestyle.
Polish the beacon of your face
and give the weary world a smile.
