Leslie Alexis Poems

Another war is given birth,
The machines make dead
Innocent bodies fill the earth,
Because of shrapnel and lead.
...

As the clouds
Float free in form:
Big and bold,
Taking on worlds,
...

I petrify in your mind and waste away in your hands.

I was given to you fresh - brand new -
...

Love, spending an eternity with you
is more important than having you today;
My words need to be perfect. What I say
Will be your very first image of me.
...

The problem is that I can be seen;
That I am a breathing
Living, human being.
...

Phantom-mized when I stare into your eyes.
The curse willing me to give you my heart.
In you, I find the calm that I sought,
In this world of masks and disguises,
...

In eyes as clear as the air I breathe, I saw God.
I removed all the years and the cataract of life, and I saw God

I saw God in the father that stayed.
...

Tumbling forth with Brains on-board
I can't help but think, "my golly, I'm bored! "
It seems like in the mix I just don't fit
For many a brain, but many a twit.
...

I was drunk and it was fun,
At least I think so, it did not return
To keep save in my memory,
The last 16 hours lived by me.
...

I wish to inform you of a fact
It's something very few know.
It is like fertilizer to trees
Something to help you grow.
...
