Desperation by Vishü Rita Krocha

I despair

for words, for thoughts, for company.

for inspiration, dreams and a different world.

for laughter, love and life.

desperation-

in pain.

for something to pass and die.

for health and freedom.

for a broken heart to heal.

for words to stay

when passion engulfs me to write.

for something special,

for friendships to last.

I long;

and I despair for hope.

for courage, strength and endurance.

I despair-

in waiting, in idleness, in too much work & too little time.

in watching days slip by…

desperation-

for fine moments to last.

for a chance to have it all over again.

desperation-

for life’s simple things.

childhood, freedom and love.
