Alfred Ramos Poems

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

The stars can fall from the heavens high
And no matter how hard I cry
It doesn’t matter anymore
...

So how was Wonderland?
Did you find the secret to life?
We missed you sensible smile
As if it was cut off with a dull knife
...

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
...

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
...

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

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
...

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
...
