Leslie Alexis Poems

Your love gives me amnesia.
Every time I see you,
feels like the first time,
And I fall in love with you again.
...

I was kissed by a shadow.
On a summer day, when the
Sun shone in the bright sky, she
Sneaked from a tree, and kissed me.
...

Let me be, like
The tree that fell
In the forest,
And no one heard!
...

Becoming cause and orchestrator of moans
We stand in shock; best we go to our knees.
The world ends, all left: roaches, mites and fleas.
The winds declare that we'll become mere bones
...

Trapped in a new womb
An old man attempts rebirth
The skin refuses
...

Of all these are some of my favorite things
The way a trees sways, the morning-lark sings,
Swallowing sea waves swallowing silent sands;
The pumping hearts, the ever-welcoming hands
...

Just like Facebook, cheap chains are the days trend
They're swung like pendulums in the ghetto;
That rich on Wall-Street has them, but pretend
...

December is always so very lame
Compared to May, when flowers bloom again,
Then I just sit and look for one to blame -
The poison Ivy, or bee’s precious pain.
...

At seventeen, she closed her heart to all;
refusing ever 'gain to feel the pain
she shut her soul to love - it was the strain
that made it right for her to take the fall.
...

Each poem is perfect,
Yet each is imperfect.
For poetry is like the wind.
Can you tell wind to blow?
