Alfred Ramos Poems

8 AM
Crisp bacon and scrambled eggs
Somewhere in the world a pauper begs
8: 15 AM
...

If my life was a canvas
It would be one of those
Paint by the number boards
Showing the many shades of my life
...

Woke up to an orange sky
Dappled in purple grey clouds
A curtain of night is peeled away
Erasing a constant nightmare
...

She was a woman between love and disaster
I knew in my heart I couldn’t out last her
No matter how hard I tried
No matter how much I cried
...

I reach out for the delirium of desire
Adrenaline walking the high wire
To caress ourselves with naked skins
Savoring the optical curves of your blue twins
...

It was an Indian summer night
An aromatic breath it did invite
A warm and satin breeze
Blew over the sentinel trees
...

A slice of cantaloupe appeared in the patented sky
Brewing in the horizon a minted tea for you and I
A soft silvery fog slithers down the bronze hills
A morning tune of roosters duets with whippoorwills
...

Plant the seed
For the things you will need
Dig in deep
For what you sow you will reap
...

Lost inside these prison walls
A nightmare calls
Words lose their way in my mind
Naked thoughts are lagging far behind
...

It first appeared in her profile
Even though it was just a half smile
I knew a full smile would be fun and laughter
I saw the ring, but it was not what I was after
...
