Josh Alfred Poems

Two young deer feed near,
Coated in thick dirt color,
Feeding on flourishing green grass,
So green it hurts to look at.
...

Like a snail which slithers
On its slimy stomach
I snuggle with the sand.
...

Farewell my tranquil mind,
Since world cast forth delight
Thus my heart wishes to combine
Damn this nerve of flight.
...

Bolt of desire in my chest,
And my mind is a ticking clock.
My foresight won't rest,
Confounded by utter shock.
...

Time is like a heavy weight,
slipping slowly till its gone.
How it with no heart hates
Passion when its strong.
...

The surface is silent/
But the fishes are playful/
Like thought beneath/
The apathy I appear to keep.
...

Sunshine

In my eyes
...

If I were to wonder right
Would I have much insight?
If I were to gather stars
Upon my pupil, in membrane bars
...

What flickered in
My mother's mind
Given to mine,
Was of a God, loving, kind,
...

I sink deeper
Diving, thriving within
Minding myself,
Reminding myself
...
