Eloquence of desperation,
majesty in the end
Elegance of sweet sorrow
—dying to contend
(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)
Desperately clinging to the side of the mountain
Trying to hold on
Just one wrong move
In that moment it’s all gone!
Lead us NOT into temptation
Just deliver copulation
You may think it odd
That we pray to God
But 'tis caused by desperation!
those dueling branches
giddy to impress the moon
slow onslaught of night
desperation fades to black
a passive moment waning
Most recommend perspiration
when seeking inspiration
Though some rely on desperation
others on ~ starvation
mouth unable to form words
then sounds of desperation
inspired by wisdoms presence
awestruck I retreat into silence
Train whistle of desperation
Speaks of others travels
Is it hauling people or cattle?
One big difference
People wear tennis shoes
Inconsiderate
Hearts will lack in elation
Throwing the first stone
Pain revisited
The quiet desperation
Soothes my aching bones
people lose track of reality
eating off the land
they are so deaperate to
get things right away
they forget the true meaning
of living
A homeless man
with a cell phone
connected to his pain
Desperation
on his speed dial
—muted inhumane
(30th Street Station: November, 2023)
I AM SICK OF HEART
TRUMP TEARING NATION APART
ICE AND VOTES TO START
ADDRESS TO NATION
ALL HIS IMAGINATION
VOICE HIS FRUSTRATION
He noted with much exasperation
Bordering on desperation
For his basic expectations
Were yet to get any direction
Despite his heavy expectation
On the Rockies,
on the Kilimanjaro,
on the Himalayas,
and even on the
Everest.
Sojourn wherever
you please,
my desperation
will surely
find you.
Form:
Love is incapable of honor,
desperation of all that’s unfair
Desire unleashed to roam and to prey
—tomorrow for others to bear
(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)
if my desperation
make its steps
reclaims in surging matter
drop itself in black hole
walk in anhilating step
recharge itself reborn
From the black hole.

Desperation weeps from a heart once loved
by hands blessed by god, by hands so tender,
a heart believed they were safe, only to be hurt
at the end asking itself, "why?"
Form:
I want to give you a hello. A hello which is as sweet as golden memories,a hello as lovely as love,but can I skip the bitter second of seperation, can I escape from desperation.

January Two Perspectives
From his park bench bed
He hears bells chime in New Year.
Quiet desperation.
From her pavement tent
She peeps. Harrods is open!
January sales!
Petals on the floor
Two stems in a broken vase
In desperation
Drink the tears that come too late
For a rose that’s lost its bloom
Placed 3rd in Brian Strand's Tanka acontest
amalgamated
dispensation
empty darkness
blacken light
open vision
closed sight
dispensation
desperation divided?

No matter what a great effort of will I have
to pul out my feelings from yours,
They drive me to desperation
So I often find myself waiting in line
at my first and last station
Total humiliation
Finally hit rock bottom
Knew it was time to ask for help
Waiving the white flag in desperation
Rehab crew, take me I’m yours

destined for lonely,
broken at heart.
my love isn't here,
and we are always apart.
the sound of the empty,
the carelessly lonely,
force cries of desperation,
that emanate horribly.
