dj o'kieff's poetry

abstract thoughts...in rhyme


never believe in dreams

dreams, hopes and desires, they lived within me

wishing, praying that one day, i would finally see

you come home to us - alive and well

coming home meant freeing us

from the hell

that we all had been living in, for all the years

endless prayers, nights of dread

and unshed tears

ups and downs, dark days of loneliness

worry, fear, guarded emotions

and godliness

day by day, year by year

the dream never died

the desire fully enforced, by each tear cried

the depth of the darkness, would come and go

the madness of the emotion , some horror show

so small

so alone

so unsure of it all

somehow feeling responsibilities call

to take care of the other, for it had to be done

how can a child, be the responsible

one

you never came to free us, you left us alone

forever to be stuck. in the darkest zone

living all those years

just waiting

it seems

has made me realize

never to believe in

dreams
