Leslie Alexis Poems

If I were superman
Then my weakness
Would be your emerald eyes
They are like kryptonite;
...

Other women are pretty.
Only my wife is beautiful.

Such adoration
...

My love for you is like my skin
I carry it wherever I go
The surface comes from deep within
Ne’er is it done - there’s always more
...

Your skin's color is the gold of autumn leaves
that pressed upon you before they fell
and are glued in place by the dew's kiss.
...

My past lies behind me
In a bin of decay

As my yesterday
...

Mirages are everywhere.
They are stuck
To the contact lens
Woman wears
...

The room where I stand has five walls.
There is no ceiling and there is no floor
So in death I can rise or I can fall,
But in life’s journey I do not know.
...

The grass is not greener on the other side
For where I stand green is all there is.
With my love, I shall abide;
Love can’t be bettered – I can’t conceive…
...

I catch their wind
In each gasp of breath
A little of my neighbor
Of men alive,
...

To build his kingdom
He and those like-minded
Combine forces and conquer
Erecting palaces from rotting leaves
...
