if ever i grow despondent
about this, that or the other thing
i simply cast my thoughts to the millions
to whom it seems i live as a king! @
Despondent
Torn apart
By chaos
Mothers cry
Fathers sigh
Children lost
Twilight blues
Morning mourn
War and strife

Despondent leopard could barely eat
He was missing his favorite cousin Pete
You have to shake it off his parents said.
But he had a feeling that Pete was dead.
the alchemist
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
(Villanova University: August, 2022)
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!
Harassed,hasselled,harried
temporarily tarried
tormented and troubled.
Yet blessed !
Feeble,forlorn or friend-less
powerless,forsaken and distressed.
Yet blessed !
Beset,burdens to confess
suffering,perhaps oppressed.
Yet blessed !
Despondent and thwarted
in frustration and failure.
Yet blessed !
A fleeting spectrum
Born from chaos
Silence after catastrophe
Lure of an ugly face
Trivial, ephemeral and desolate
You are not beautiful
You are vague
A mirage
Dangerous hope of despondent heart
You will vanish, You are
You cannot make me fall
Not this time, Not anymore
Go Rainbow! Vacate my sky
Hopping into the mist,
Which was growing colder,
With each dwindling dusk sunray,
I was hurtling into mysterious night dark,
Quite despondent and hapless,
By the lurid events of the day,
I was held afloat,
By a dozing nightingale on a twig,
That still harked,
Do not worry,
Tomorrow will be another day.
Warm breezes gone
green grass is rust brown
Leaves breathed their last
the season has turned
Clouds sail across sky
a despondent gray
No friendly scenes
no chipmunks at play
Rabbits down holes
birds flown away
You and I head indoors...
Your head on my shoulder
~ pause at the doorway
Luminosity of the despondent star in the celestial land above
Had grown to be caliginous in nature
Dwindled its crimson gleam
Dissolved into newfound restlessness,
Parched, dark, waterless spring
Entreating for even a luster
Named a blessing buried underneath cloaks
The last cries of
A twinkle.
Flicker.
