Short Somberness Poems

my hope hangs
with these stars
lost somewhere
beneath darkness
in the valance
of clouds
that hang
overhead
in the somberness
of january's wrath
as it rains down
its icy tears

beyond the hill
the moon hangs still...

the murky depths of the night drifts off the lone fisherman
     to the tamarind yellow river shaded with ecru of ambiguity;
  wind whispers wrapped in sweet somberness and  shivery softness; 
yonder a hint of golden honey light beckons a beautiful uncertainty....

Innocence

Once,
Met with an image
Masked in modernity
Walked in purity
Smiled in serenity.
I stopped and reckoned,
There was a river
Flow like giver
Soul and body

Wrapped into somberness
Dignity
Packed into Seriousness
Vanity
Dressed into richness.

abating hope
diminishing 
like warmth
of this sun
hidden 
in the somberness
of december skies
and downcast eyes

i watch this snow
descending around me
flakes falling like lives
one after another

the chill of wind
wrapping me
in the same 
frigid grasp
as death

i feel 
as lost
as footsteps
fading
in the depths
of white
sweeping
across the ground

as my tears
fall in disbelief
shattering
on the ground
below......

Pain
The pain of losing the one you love
The one you put your whole heart into
The one you don’t want to be without
Somberness
A dark hole in my soul
A blank space
An empty place
Despair
The end of a dream
The end of a future
The end of a life
Desolation
All alone
All by myself
Complete destruction
Devastation
A love ruined by anger
A heart broken by anguish
A family destroyed by greed
Sorrow
I mourn for happiness
I look to the sky
I am barren of hope...
