Alfred Ramos Poems

I spend most of my time
Searching for reason and rhyme
I know there are words hiding under my bed
I find hiding them between two slices of bread
...

What was at stake?
Was it the greed of money?
Felt cloth caressed by the rake
The chips smelled like honey
...

Sitting silently in solitude
Rearranging my attitude
On a Waikiki beach of silk sand
A Mai-Tai in my sun tan hand
...

Cool head
Went to bed
Hot chance
To romance
...

I just can’t comprehend
I’m not much into pretend
Why my ego spilled onto the floor
And why some people find me a bore
...

In the blink of an eye
A rainbow can stretch across a morning sky
Is it searching for you and I
With promises of a happy ending you can't buy
...

Outside the rain is pounding
And the wind is sounding
Sounding like hell
My head is filled with haunting fears
...

Kiss me softly, kiss me slow
Let me savor
The fruits of our labor
Close your eyes and let the feeling flow
...

Love is a capricious lady
And sometimes she drives me crazy
Sometimes she can be so exotic
With eyes that prove to be hypnotic
...

I haven’t got the time to waste
With memories that linger close enough to taste
Thought I often replay those memories of our past
Our love still crumbled from all the stones that were cast
...
