Leslie Alexis Poems

Her lips remind me of my first silk shirt
How it stuck to my skin in summer’s heat
Revealing my best to a jealous world.
...

It's been a long time
Since I set aside time
For me and my God
buss a lime-
...

When we march,
We march with our swords.
Devil step back, because it's the word.
...

The moon is calling me tonight.
I hear its rings: its desperate plight,
in the wind's fading howls,
which echoes the passing growls
...

She stands by the door,
She, my beautiful wife,
stands there with love,
waiting for the word, waiting to open-
...

The do, that I do when I do
Does not get me into heaven!
That’s the devil misguiding you, brethren.
Remember that good ol’ deed called grace?
...

Once upon a time
There lived a man who cared
And on an evening lime
He found a gift and shared
...

My heart tears
Even as my eyes bleed
...........you
With another
...

Sleep refuses to bestow her grace upon me.
I close my eyes,
And I see your big brown eyes
And feel your perfect face pressed up mine:
...

I stood in absolute wonder
Looking in the mirror
At the big nose and crooked head,
Thinking it's an error.
...
