Alejandro Torres Poems

Sometimes I wonder
Why the Gods thought it necessary
For me to know about you
I wonder why
...

How do I tell you
I still love you
The same as the first day
I laid eyes on you
...

We were learning to make fire
We were children pretending to be adults
We were mortals pretending to be Gods
She was a Goddess pretending to be mortal
...

What should I do
To make that smile appear
Should I climb Everest
And plant a flag
...

Keep your fingers crossed
Sinner keep that smile sincere
The times coming
For what will seem
...

Sit outside in the early morning air
A black coffee over sweetened
By thoughts of you
And a sympathetic clutch of something
...

I used to stand alone
A civilization of just me
The only inhabitant
My mind
...

If I turned back the pages
In the life I write away for you
Pining more with each day
Would I find the marker
...

Let’s walk hand in hand
Into the sun
Baby
Do me the honor
...

Did you ever think
At any point in time
That I’d look back
On the words you once told me
...
