Carlos Edd Poems

Forty-some years ago, I met a girl named Vivian
A ridiculously good-looking young woman
And like a lightning bolt, she shook me crazy, very crazy
I knew by then my life turned complicated and messy
...

Rainbow, leave a bit of your color
For my heart to hold
Give a bit to my honor
To make myself bold
...

The day you ceded your love to me
Gave me a lasting happiness
Hoping I will own you eternally
But I was wrong…very wrong because I didn’t own you even once
...

The love that brought us together
The life that bound us forever
Now in ruins, for all the causes
Of love and life that come to us
...

Often do I hear you say, “I am leaving the country”
I just ignore it for I know it’ll cause me to be lonely
I shouldn’t feel this way, if I love you truly
But if it is what you wish, I will let you go
...

It was you, and only you
Who has inspired a love so true
A love everyman aspires for
To be owned and to be cared forever
...

Recalling the mid days of August
The days we've been together at most
I find myself in a paradise
A place just for the two of us
...
