Alfred Ramos Poems

As I sit in my love seat
A flaming winter fire at my feet
I begin to reminisce
About that very first kiss
...

Throw me a dream
And I’ll catch it
Toss me a smile
And I’ll match it
...

My best friend is getting a divorce
Don’t know how his 30 year marriage went off course
I have to ask him hundreds of questions
It’s too late for suggestions
...

When false heroes die
I don’t mean physically, I don’t mean literally
I mean emotionally
I don’t mean in the ground dead
...

I suppose, that pose
Can be construed as seductive
That cute black dress, I confess
Can be very productive
...

Aren’t we but a grain of sand?
Waiting to be washed out to sea
Aren’t we like water in our hand?
Washing away unwanted debris
...

No Sugar and Spice
Woke up this morning
Grenades going off inside my head
Was it something that I said?
...

You can’t see that I’m so sad
In fact, bluer than blue
It’s amazing how I got to the other side of glad
That you wouldn’t believe its true
...

I Heard Love Was Blind

I heard love was blind
Is that why you were so hard to find
...

Have you ever looked into a mirror?
In fear
Of what you might see between the wrinkles
A few sprinkles
...
