Despondency

  
   Every achievement
   stored with so care throughout life
   will be left in dust.
   Life is destined to end in
   inevitable demise.

Jar

A jar now mutely holds washers and clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, buttons, and the oddity. It once held the dreams I dreamt and jangled with hopes, desires I’d saved, lost in one life.

Thoughts of Spring

THOUGHTS OF SPRING

my despondency
boredom urges thoughts of spring
blue jay on the wing

same old dreary sky
cold, stoic eyes view the scene
mind caught half-between

better than nothing
this thought of tulip’s rainbow
when one’s feeling low

God Help Me

God
Need
Your help
Feeling lost
Somber clouds loom mind
Clouding and impairing the thoughts
Seeking divine light, shining with a powerful force
Experimented only after feeling despondency in maximum expression

Alone

Solitude... 
Like an old sad song...
Loneliness....
Just a day prolonged...
Desolation...
Like an empty sky...
Dejection...
Like a bold-faced lie...
Despondency...
All your hopes dashed...
Disillusionment...
Alone...
And unabashed...

Challenges

Heartache and despondency
Are the challenges in our life.
It doesn't matter who you are,
Be you parents, husband or wife.
These challenges are sent to test us,
To strengthen our resolve.
The challenges are the game of life,
The ones we have to solve.

Adulation Born From Despondency Part 1

I opened my arms and embraced the Moon...
I became intoxicated with the dream of the Arts...
Will anyone else share this life with me?
Tears of doubt trickle down from diamond eyes...
And the smile of an angel captures the last of my breath...
That beauty...
Is beyond mortal capabillity...

What Is Consistent

Each disappointment seems final 
But none of them are fatal 
Every victory feels eternal 
But they all soon fade away 
But the need is consistent 
To be persistant in resistance 
To complacency in winning 
Or despondency from losing 
It’s all a matter of choices 
So be wise in the choosing.

Chimes Befalling

You confused  the situation
by alarming the guests
saying close 
but no cigar
You always gave quaint encouragement
by virtue of your factuals
We sweetly sang out of tune
to deflect the despondency
On the chimes befalling
you set the table for many guests
but could ill afford the meal provided

Adulation Born From Despondency Part Ii

With every beat of my heart...
The rhythm of another soul matches the tempo...
As a song is born from two common people...
So shall their love withold...
I captured a star that danced by on a ribbon of light...
It's my gift to you...
So make a wish... 
And let that star shine through the Night...

Mind Murmured

Mind has many doors
At times it's an unknown peninsula
A labyrinth at closer look.
Move scum slovenly
Or else you'll lose yourself
Dreams,swarming feelings
Make a slough of despondency
A slog of sorrow
Marshy land
Squirm through closed doors
Of turbulent mind
Hearken, mind murmurs
And get lost with 
The way of the world.

Spring

Worms rotate in a peculiar procession
As spring enters - the conquering gladiator.
Saplings play in the breeze.
Dogs smile at the sun while the wind breathes with sighing despondency.
Falling leviathan blossoms float to the ground from reoccurring trees.
Nature holds us all hostage in her warm embrace; green, urgent, and rampant.

Greek Sonnet

Greek Sonnet 

I write Dionysus poetry 
With a dash of Apollo,
This because darksome poetry
Can kill hope 
And become cynical – we don´t
Want to lose all hope. 
Too much Apollo 
On the other hand
And we lose sight of reality 
Therefor the two gods 
Compliments each other so 
We don´t sink into despondency 
And not into 
Hysterical harp playing lyricism

Childhoods

Come on strong child
with forced happiness
all you can try to do 
is be a pee green insect,
vestiges of grass
betray a once forlong child
All your dreams are rustled in the wind
as the old man opens the gates
of despondency
Do you wish to hold the key
to being sixty
and those around you are now dust
as you are assured of your youthful angst

Leave Grasping Mirage

all glittering is not gold!
we the dweller of world
live in enigmatic glittering
dream to posses everything
run after the mirage of desire 
oh! Nothing these shining are 
at last all entrepreneur  find alluring ashes 
ash is changing in shape to unshaped gases
turned into seen to unseen
sigh fill up despondency bin

Adulation Born From Despondency Part Iii

Watch as the stars embers fade into streaks of color,,,
From the lightest to the darkest shade...
The skies face splits open into a wide-eyes smile..
As it cries joyously down on you...
The crimson tone of your laughter rings loud and clearly...
You watch the water caress the Earth...
And slowly we return to our underground...
Life with you is all I ask...

The Knightly Spouse

A priviledge, not a burden
The power of Love to wield.
In the name of the highest;
Crowned a king; alike throned.
As far beyond that wall afield
Each castle's; cloud-horizoned.

A great honour, the greatest
Entrusted them, vowed knightly
Raise not a gold-fingered hand
But tears for to wipe, ward off
In black who for Despondency
At such saving gestures scoff.

Deluge of Despondency

Rain pounding my soul in torrents
 
Feelings of despair overwhelming
A band around my heart restricting flow

Non-existent love in a world deplete of compassion
Harried existence to a futile end of unacknowledged achievements
A specter in the streets of humanity

Can you see me, hear me, touch me?
I cry alone but I cry for all.

Despair pounding my soul in torrents

Fragmented Existence

Impel discourse upon one and another, 
the unseen veracity of ennui and weariness causes me to covertly smother. Appreciation and fascination moderately transpire, 
humanity led solicitous to retire. 
A bond have infrequently on any account been achieved, 
unassertive alongside what intend to be believed. 
Loneliness forge such enchantment 
conflicted with despondency.

Overwhelmed

Caught up in this circle sphere of integration; I swoon 
as the feeling of worthlessness overwhelms me. 
Nothing seems to remedy as this depression lulls me 
into its claws of wretchedness.
 Sweet and salty smiles that slink into your mind 
seems to melt the drowning feeling of despondency.  
Still there is the burning bubbling vibes of insanity that circumvents any relief.

Heaven, He Could Reach

He had known despair before,
The depths to which it plunged his faith.
Still, His grace lived within his core,
Heaven, he could reach.

Driven, he had borne the fight,
His honor drove him on.
He raised his eyes with Him in sight,
Heaven, he could reach.

Grace showed him so much more
Than hate and fear and dread.
It bore him toward that shining door.
Heaven, he could reach.

Always on my mind

You are everything I have got
You are always on my mind
Your beautiful face lulls me to  sleep nightly 
And rescues me mightily 
From terrible nightmares  
And so I can embrace the world 
Every day with a smile
In the midst of gloom and despondency
You inspire me to face the world
With hope and determination
My guardian angel keep watch over me
The world is too scary to traverse all alone

Oasis

Fertile spot on timeless sands,
Life on parched lands,
The existent surrounded by the non-existent,
The living in the shrivelled.

Jewel in the gloom,
Hope in despondency room,
The thirsty is replenished at its shore,
A memorial of nature’s benevolence.

The trees are rejuvenated from its tranquil chamber,
There’s hope after the night’s slumber, 
Treasure in the arid,
Water finds a way to us.
