Dreams No More

Dreams No More

A Poem by Kenneth Stephen Goodpaster

 

 

 

Dreams No More

 

I remember that nightmare where we lived,

I use to stay up all night crying

Hurts to say,  wishing that I never lived

But I always felt closer to dying

 

I stumbled about through my slumber

Stubbed my toe to look into the mirror

To see the hairs on my face are whiter

Wondering, could dreams be any further?

 

Then came April who made my heart stagnant

And I wonder how I can still miss her

While I fantasize if she was pregnant

And if I could be the perfect father.

 

Don't worry, I still remember you Brock

I smiled when you told me you were artistic

And I wept when you gave me the shock

If I could for you then I would fix it

 

I'm in this place now because of you

Conquering my demons of duality

Just to make what I can of myself for you

For letting my dreams become reality.

 

Though as the fourth month  approaches closer

There is a dream inside that still lingers.
