Alonzo Titus Poems

A single word spoken carelessly
can break a heart unmercifully,
and draw a silence not easily broken
even if that word was just a token,
...

PTSD

This day has been a struggle
caused by memories still alive,
...

As down toward my feet I gaze,
my vision blocked by a bulging maze,
I'm reminded in most significant ways,
I've eaten too much, for too many days.
...

In the tender hours of twilight
I see your smiling face again,
and it warms my heart as always
although my sight is growing dim,
...

A single word spoken carelessly
can break a heart unmercifully,
and draw a silence not easily broken
even if that word was just a token,
...

How many moments are there
if we use them to measure time,
if we count them for a second
how many will stand that line,
...

Jet black hair and sharp green eyes
just an Irish girl passing by,
a smile from her and a pouting look
puts most young men in hot pursuit.
...

There's no beginning that will not end
as time slips silently by,
we can only hope that while we're here
no tears will fill our eyes,
...

Death has stocked us since our birth
as it has any one born on earth,
Animal, human, fish or other,  
will be stocked by death,  
...

What's the different between an orange,
a difficult question to answer,
it might be easier to understand
if you were a squirrel or a hamster,
...
