leaves hang depressingly low
steady rain water torture

turned sand into gold
an irreversible transmutation 

the beach has disappeared
he now carries the cross
alone and despondent

Thru cracks in the clouds
    whitish sun glints
  No warmth issues forth
    barren rock without flint

  Clouds return ash-gray
    no matter I squint
  despondent sun keeps away
    done, today's stint...

Trapped by a promise
 exitway
closed

Memories held captive
hope
long deposed

Dreams
shattered mirrors
shards that implode

Sentenced to wander
despondent
I go

Returing home from “The Fish And Chips Hut”
Hubby asks wife for sex just for the “halibut”
“No, not tonight sweetie,
Got a “haddock” and I'm sleepy”
Sounded “fishy” and he became despondent somewhat...

From on high, only by Him
How throned o'er, thought of?
When as prompt, through each flash
Rainbow's, ray's, re-sent
The heartening mercy!
The heart-warming love!
To believe, must we bear
Full-faced God's descent?...

Despondent, falling
Or more dire
That foothold, beneath
Now gives way;
The green Earth's, and life's!
As sinks day.

Needful of uplift
A hand's, heart's
Both soft, for mercy
As strong lit
Sky, Heaven, rending
Shout, scream it....

I sit.
Outside your window.
Mournful.
Despondent.
Heart has broken in twain.
I feel nothing but pain.
I scream your name.
Silence.
Dawn appears.
Rosy fingers stretch across-
The dew laden grass.
Yet still.
Outside your window.
I sit....

Walking in the storm;
Was drenched  all alone;

I am going home;
Drying myself and my clothes;

Wet, no longer;
Yet still I'm a loner;

Despondent out wandering in the storm

The days we shared are past,
Your left presence is hovering,
No one to bring me my glass,
Blanketed knees covering.

Like a drug, I must have a you fix,
And like a drug must suffer withdrawal,
I despondent wait for your sunshine,
Tomorrow and morrow and morrow....

Waking up to heavy clouds of dark grey
Inside her head they loom there all day 
Pools of salty water fill her despondent eyes
Streams of tears cascade as she silently cries
Perhaps the rain clouds will all dissipate tomorrow
And some sunlight will chase away the sorrow...

Shut behind the door,believing in kinship
Forenoon the scars on mother paraylzed me
Every knife calling out as a saviour
The smiles seem a distant dream
Goblins dreams turned into a hell fire
Each passing day brought a despondent
Childhood poems swinged towards bruises..

Despondent
we felt
doing deeds
donned by illusions of necessity.

Drat
we thought
disowning our dignity
drowning our dignity
driving our dignity
down into delusions of
dominance.

Do-di-do-do
we knew
when spontaneously
life came to the streets 

and we did 
what we 
know how to do....

Sugar is sweet
But, too much of it makes you sick
And may die diabetic and despondent.

Love is sweet
But too much of it makes you insolvent
And may die too dependent.

Better moderate and milder
As it makes you somber
But the sweetest word ever 
Is LOVING YOU  forever!...
