empty dreams

he always wondered what they meant
when they said, “may all your dreams come true!”
he never knew, if it was his nightly dreams
or his life long desires, which were referred to
because night time dreams, were just a mixture
of meaningless mixed up, day time events
combined with life time desires
and past times occurred
and emotions un vent
and if dreams were that
then what were his life dreams to be,
if he had not dreamed it yet?
it would seem that the dreams they referred to
were more than the colours he saw in his night time bed
but were supposed to be
his hopes, and plans, which lay ahead
of which he had none
as the life sucking
breath sapping, activity
between day dreams
and night dreams
consumed him, to death
