Abraham Assefa Poems

As I get beaten down
Mercilessly forced to the ground
As my dreams get more bleak
And my hopes fade away
...

A bit longer
I should have gazed in your eyes a bit longer,
your beautiful... big... brown eyes
I should have stared-a bit longer- as they glittered
...

Before I close my eyes to this world
I want to wear a broad smile- with the thought of you
I want to feel my eyes swell up with joyful tears
When I reminisce
...

The Best Poem Of Abraham Assefa

There For Me

As I get beaten down
Mercilessly forced to the ground
As my dreams get more bleak
And my hopes fade away
When my body becomes too heavy to lift
And my spirit even harder
When the world turns upside down
When misfortune comes in unannounced
When the brunt of it all is too difficult to bear
I want you to be there for me
As I am here, for you, now.
