Leslie Alexis Poems

Though the day remains unknown
of the birth of He, king upon the throne,
December 25th is cast in stone
And that is enough for me
...

I stepped in it, a couple summers ago.
It’s was slippery… I stepped… I slipped… I fell.

I fell in it, a couple summers ago
...

For reasons ripe I fell in love with you;
Because together sun is always warm,
No winter poisons bed with icy breath,
...

I saw many cars stuck in frozen holes
In the white washout after Christmas day;
It compelled wanton shoppers to stay home
And brought darkness to the city of light.
...

Sand
Covers
The treasure
Of diamonds
...

Love
Watered
My heart’s cup
Till it poured out
...

The burden was too much for them to bear.
After holding on through the hell
they fell under the weight of heaven's tears
and made a beautiful carpet for all to see,
...

The mistletoe lies on the floor
so kisses are planted on the feet.
Cobwebs hang above the door.
This house is for trick or treat.
...

Love cannot be written of
neither its securities
nor its insecurities,
its high-points or low-points
...

Love has whispered, but never shouted my name
And its glory I have not known.
Yet, though I know not of it, I regard it as worthy,
As precious, as the ultimate treasure
...
