Nestor David Armas Poems

Wanting what we cannot have,
This rings so true,
As I look at you.
Nothing I would not do,
...

I put you on a pedestal;
Not because you are unattainable;
Or because you are in a class all your own,
I do this because I want you to be special;
...

In between me and you
There are volumes untold
We the bookends
Kept the stories within,
...

Show me the other side

Where the grass grows wild,
...

Whittle me this
Stick I toss
Across the thick
Of fields
...

Today was the day
I looked about and saw the sky;
The world, everything around me
In a whole new way.
...

On the spot
And in spots
I make it rain
Really big drops
...

Darkness is the only light

I seek, silence the only sound
...

Her kisses I yearned for;

More than air, more than life itself,
...

I never knew dawn could break,

With peace so deep and hope so wide,
...
