Best Alex Poems

I remember when he was born
So precious and Dear
His hair was sandy brown
Like a fall brown leaf
Your little precious body and soft skin
Smelled like the scent of baby powder
The touch of his tiny hands
Was like touching a gentle lamb
His little hugs was of warmth and...

You locked yourself inside a hole
And you threw away the
Key
You got so lost in the bottle that you 
Forgot just how to breathe
You're waiting for some saving grace
So you can fight off all your
Demons
But someday you'll have to save yourself
Before you drink yourself to 
Death

You're...

Graduation day comes every year
With joy, happiness and even a tear

You’re a tall slender red head
As pretty as can be and with that said

Your getting older and you will leave
We say goodbye and in you we believe

How proud we all are
With schooling and study you...

Its your birthday!
Your finally fourteen!
But there's something,
Something we have planned.
You will not know,
And we can't show,
Not until Saturday.
So all the little things,
A cake, candles, and balloons,
You will be surprised,
What we have in store for you! 
Your turning fourteen,
Your getting older,
Let the younger charcoal smolder,
Today is...

He was born Alex Wanton Wells -
A healer of the incurable and a remover of spells,
Died chasing his insatiable appetite for quails;
He’s not there, for he kicked the pails!...

For a lady who had a twinkle in her eye and one of the most powerful reading voices I have ever heard...

When Alex Lascelles
Did the readings at church
Her deep ancient voice
Like a dignified drum
Sounded like God

a roundel

One small part of his world of kitschy things,
Jordan's unique house on a rock unfurls
a red merry-go-round mid angels’ wings -
one small part of his world.

Chandelier lights, some twenty-thousand, swirl,
while a mechanical orchestra pings.
Two hundred sixty myriad beasts twirl
but nary a single horse rides...

He played football with the Detroit Lions in the NFL.
In the seventies, this man became an actor as well.
Less than a week ago, his fans had bad luck.
We lost the man who was nicknamed the Mad Duck.

He played in the NFL on and off for...

The early hours of a Wednesday morning in a small country town.
An 18-year-old boy struggles to sleep
He had pain so bad 
all he could do was weep 
he, knee was so painful
he had to go to the hospital
his father took him there
once there it seemed...

We got the call this morning...
your soul checked out 
you left this 
world in flight...

a good man of kind spirit
you surrendered the last
battle - 

We salute you you gave
a fine fight...

little did we know just
how sick you were...
...but then that is the mark
of a battler...

Oh, I’m going to base a poem on you as you asked so nicely the other day
Not sure what to put yet but I will have never ending things to say
On the outside you gleam and your arms so strong and tight
Uprising star with kindness...

To have a child to be a father,
it's so worthwhile. A gift received 
that ever growing shall steal our
hearts before we've known.
 
This gift of life looks up at me, 
so small and perfect my heart 
is warmed just instantly. 

I hold her close I...

Eye candy of literacy
Sit with me under the poet tree
It's colorful leaves with windy wet dreams
Glowing growing holy wise sandy seas
Raining sonnets psalms songs of gold
Beige yesterday, neon now, future silver soul
Of foreign of home
Of saint sinner some other zone
This black leaf is Emily
So dark...
