Alfred Ramos Poems

If I was like the tide
There would be no place to hide
Sliding in and slipping out over and over again
And if I was a wave
...

The gun showed off it silhouette
It was my turn at Russian roulette
I’m so tired of being a marionette
And being under the thumb of a coquette
...

If you go off to war
Common sense says you will bring back a scar
And there’s a chance that you will die
Make some loving mother cry
...

The Sinking of a Relationship
Whatever the circumstance
The end of a love affair is painful always
We somehow drift away
...

Believe in love
It’s not that hard to do
You will see life from a different point of view
You’ll carry around a glow
...

The day is over
But I’m still not over you
Pain pierces my heart through and through
The darkness rushes in
...

Before the last spark of light
Before darkness faces blight
I might find my way home
The sunset races to hide the day
...

Time waits in the grass like a snake
Ready to strike whether you are asleep or awake
It wraps its arms around you till you choke
Laughs at you as if it was a joke
...

I’ve been passing time
Counting tears as they hit the sand
There are just too many
To try and catch with my hand
...

(Based on a true story)
I first met America
In an old Mexican orphanage
She must have been 7 or 8
