Al J. Cuesta Poems

Rebel young man, rebel

For ‘tis in your rebellion you will grow

Rebel young girl, rebel
...

The ideas flew out of our minds like paper planes out of our windows.


Soaring through the air like waves at sea,

Some useful landing in somebodies ears,
...

Now the everlasting effervescence of innocence comes running down to prove,

That you and me baby were never meant to last,
...

These things I get I don't deserve
The things I have, I'll try to preserve
So thanks you for all that I receive
Be it happiness, or be it grief
...

When you realize you've already been baptized
There's no coming back, there's no changing color
Memories of today now become memories of tomorrow
...

Unnerving critters
Crawl about casually
Causing unpleasant pain
Unpurposely
...

We dream, we dream, we dream
While the boat has parted ahead of us, up stream

We float, we float, we float
...

I think of you,
I don't

I love you,
...

She gazes around too much
N' she gifts me with her profile
Tear her away from my side
I want to forget, I want to forget
...

Surrounded by strangeness, people are out of touch,
Worried times and a-worried minds
Keep them a-wondering, but I don't change
Occurrences remain a mystery to the untrained beholding eye
...
