Lost hope

Hope was there for a long time...
Creeped several efforts to climb
Now it faded away by the pause
It is lost because there is a cause...
Form: Other

fall

fall sky littered with leaves red few young greens kiss empty nest worn winds heave sighs of lost hope bidding adieu - laid to rest.

Wish

Whispering heartache unfolds in torture
Incisions decorate the outside of you
See the river of lost hope unfold in a pond of red
How many will know you are dead

Lost Hope

Losing sleep acting like an 
Owl all night 
Sleeping is rare now with 
The nightmares of 

Hell and death
Only wolves can help me as 
People destroy my life
Erin is long gone now

Lost

I see the mournful look
In his teary eyes
While I rate what a woman 
Means to a man
The look that tells me more 
Of a lost hope
A look that speaks the wish 
To be with the lost soul

The Void

The Void has returned
Pulling and seething
The Abyss of Lost Hope
Has stopped me from breathing

There's no place to hide
And no place worth finding
The Void has returned-
Its darkness is blinding.

A Path Not Here

If i was to tell a story,
What would that story tell?
Lost hope, love or treasure?
Fearsome dragons, cunning demons?
Consuming lustful pleasure?
Or maybe just a mans life,
Merely a path not there till walked.

Premium Member Upon the Mountain of Uncertainty

Upon the mountain of uncertainty...

Look for the sunrise of understanding. 

Inside the valley of darkness...

Look for the stars of dreams.

Traveling the desert of lost hope...

Look for the oasis of the unexpected.

Lost Hope

On the plight of this garden till when to grieve
Will this nest ever its glory retrieve

The companion birds are all flown away
O cyprus trees and roses! Permit me to leave

Premium Member Love, Not Without Hope

To find a heart that shares my tears
          That casts a light that lives in laughter
     And reassures lost hope from fears
          Know sure my love doth hunger after.

Gone

Slammed doors soft cries

Hiding still close my eyes

Silent whispers stored secrets

In the chamber I remain

Descending through the mundane

Craving for attention never to be seen

Lost hope in the echoes of forgotten dreams.

Premium Member Mile Markers

Have gone the extra miles
Retreaded my soul several times
Wept as time faded
In a distant swirl of lost hope
Gassed up, reved the engine
Hit the entrance ramp
Knowing
The extra miles
Are just part of life’s tour

Beautiful, the flowers
bloom each year, perhaps as a memorial to
her power

to beautify,
even the most wayward pass through,
like me~

lost souls,
lost hope, lost fool’s
shoals.

Beautiful, the flowers~
even the most wayward pass through
shoals.

Premium Member Lost Hope

Something is lost and I choose not to look for it.
But as each day passes I am finding I'm missing it.
I can live without it though I merely exist.
A tree exists. A bird or a fish exist.
Have I the same type of existence?
No thought for love or joy or tomorrow?
Perhaps !

What rising doubt does cast such fear
     That wills I dare not sink to feel,
     But take to heights above harms reach
     From that first step to tempt my fate.
     I cling to pain, this bond so real, that knows,
     This is my next best chance to fail.

Premium Member Tomorrow's a Breath Away

today your heart is pierced and you’ve lost hope
but dare not die today
tomorrow’s a breath ‘way

shake off the darkness
this heavy mantle of woe
that entraps your soul
re-write the future today

one choice to be made-
stand tall; cast the fear aside
watch as light invades

Forgotten

I have not lost hope
But my way
Living too long in dreams
Of yesterday
Death has come to visit, 
many years ago
Yet I still breathe
The echoing pain 
Of your loss once more
This hour, I beg you
Take my hand, lead me away
And let me lay beside you
Beneath the earth, I will stay.

Cement-Tarry

Fearing a turn in the wrong direction
he stands still..
Frozen by his lack of confidence
he lost hope.

All directions
lead to failure.
All directions
are frightening.

Yet standing still
he is torn apart.
He wants to move
but defies himself.

Shamefully crying
he weeps alone.
Form: Verse

On These Wings

Sheeted winds of hushed desire
Dragged behind these wings of fire.
Momentous doom plans melt below
The ofttimes weary hands now show.
This room all splashed in ink's delight
Grows faded now in rhymes' hindsight.
One drip of passed time's waning urge
Now calls for floating hope; Submerge.

Ranom

A weeping willow
                                      Tear soaked pillow
                                      Heartbreak has call
                                      Now these tears fall
                                      When you lost hope
                                      How do you cope
Form: Rhyme

Replenish Me

I am ill with shame
Life has beaten me up
I bleed from the wounds of lost hope

I am unconscious 
The mind will relax
For it is tired of emotions

I am weak
My body yearns for health
For it has seen much abuse

I am a replenishing soul
To conquer all in my path
For now I am stronger than before
