Alejandro Torres Poems

I marry the bed
When thoughts of you surround me
Drown me
Lost in an ocean of locked doors
...

There’s no falsehood
In her unrelenting beauty
Never a night sky more clear
Than her eyes
...

In loving you
I’ll keep you forever young
With words of gardens
And fresh innocence
...

How do I explain something tangible
Like the breeze against my skin
Just there
Tossing strands of hair
...

Wounded warrior
With your heart
Torn asunder
What have you fought for
...

You fade out of sight
Like a hundred kisses
In the dark
Multiple locks
...

What reason do I have for mirth
When all I’ve been dealt is false
Does not the maiden have her prince
Or does she look to kill another suitor
...

Watch the stars appear
One by one
Like my tears
Want to set them up
...

Look into the corner of my window
The history this old wood frame
Must have seen
And I wonder
...

I just want you to know
Incase I don’t survive the loss
Of you
That the time I had
...
