Leslie Rodriguez Poems

Anger threatens to steal me away
My soul burns with fire, my sanity strays
My heart beats faster, one single beat
My face reddens sudden from the intense heat
...

A friend was all I wanted
Was all I waited for
A friend to back me up
After everyone walked out the door
...

There's only five minutes left
Until the end
And I just can't say good-bye
...

I stand there right before you
My eyes so close to tears
I don't know where to turn to
I feel far though you are near
...

Your light shines on when the stars don't anymore
Your heart sings when the orchestra don't roar
Your eyes dance; a glimmering of strength
When the world's dancers can't compete to any length
...

It's not obsession
Don't you see?
It's something more that comes from me
Not obsession
...

Pictures capture memories that play before my eyes
Behind them hide the stories of hurt, love, death, and lies
A scene captured forever
Everything frozen in place
...

A vast never-ending expanse of pink and blue
With-holding baffling wonders of which mere humans have no clue
Beyond that, in the darkness, hovers the sweet light
The sun governing the mornings,
...

I feel for you feelings oh, so strong
I do not know how to explain
Just thinking about you gives me shelter
In the pouring rain
...

Life is full of choices to make
Choose wisely; it is not something you can merely retake
Fuse your heart and your mind into one
Don't regret the decisions you've already done
...
