Archive of poetry by Anne KellyMemoryIf I tell you of my pain Can you stay Will you turn away? If I spell out my grief Can you cope Or, like a thief Will you steal away My hope Of being heard? Still she stands at the open fire Hands soft and wrinkled Skirt sprinkled with tiny flowers My face enfolded as she rocks me to and fro Ochoneo go deo, go deo Movourneen o; go dilis o! If I pour out the poison of my pain Can you refrain From saying, "You'll be O.K. I've got lots to do today?" If you cannot stay or cope or care I understand Only please don't hold my hand And pretend I'd like to find a friend Who will stay This trauma of the past. This pain, and grief and woe. Ochoneo go deo, go deo Movourneen o; go dilis o! by Anne Kelly Archive index | Next poem » |
