Leslie Alexis Poems

The best pieces are those that take their very meaning from the peaces and wars of life.

No, the best pieces are they that through ingenuity, takes from little to make many.

Tender is the love we share
Obviously it is from God

My love, my all is found in
...

I love the way she prays
Her faith sealed the deal
When they were here and there
Her faith in God was real
...

Though the sun sets only once a year where we’re from, I miss it when it’s gone, and it seems that the night is prolonged until she rises again -lasting beyond eternity, and then beauty I cannot see. The rainbow does not show in the dark, and stars lose their allure after 100; you cannot count them all and that, is no mystery. It is so cold that hips forget their dance and legs cross to keep their warmth, lips chap, and food loses appeal.

To ensure sun never sets again, daily I’ll waddle the wilderness of fortune until I find a suitable rock that I shall lay at your feet and cross for approval. And I will look to sun for its setting and if it were to begin descent, I will follow it and it shall not rid of me. I shall stay. Home will be comfort and you will have my trust, even when you leave me in the cold.

I'll pretend to be unhappy
So that you'll be happy
I'll join you in your pity
And bask in sorrow's beauty.
...

The beauty in disorder
Can easily be missed
By those who conceive
Perfect as straight lines
...

I learned poetry so I could write for you.
I needed meter to show the security my heart knows
So I picked books and words became my friend.
I needed rhyme to show how perfectly we fit:
...

I want to be god
Just for a day.
I don’t want to be praised.
I just want punish.
...

Damsel... damsel, dear,

Damsel sweet.. you're quite a treat.
The pleasure is mine that we meet,
...

If I were a seed,
I would sit in wait
of the coming bird
that would take me away
...
