Leslie Alexis Poems

Butterflies in their stomach,
But all along there were
Parasitic worms.

Strained them from mind
Set them to the corner to take form
And I remembered...

But she was looking so I had to laugh
Or show myself as weak - I cried inside,
Where only I could see my many tears

For in all honesty, she’s a fairer flower
And if your breasts are apples, hers are grapefruits

And when I catch it -thanks to luck-

I thought of life
Without you, love.
...

Their beauty is a wonderful surprise,
But even after the blushed sunset fades,
I will find Heaven in your pretty eyes.
...

Have you seen a fig tree that is laden with figs,
- As if full,
Then you looked upon the ground
And it was filled with figs;
