Alicia Lehman Poem
My loyalties lie, paper thin
on these life slices held within
A memory; so dear, so near.
Like shards of glass, reflecting clear
hues throughout this room. It has been
Too long. As stars dance along, sprint
through my mind like some scarlet wind.
I question how, year after year,
My loyalties lie
with salty sweet promises, hints
of salvation; I am convinced,
rest in the stardust of these dear
stars within minds. I have no fear,
for this is where; along the fringe,
My loyalties lie

Alicia Lehman Poem
My greatest addiction is nostalgia
and the boarded up windows of my childhood.
With the indulging excitement of a youthful innocence.
The beckoning calls of sweet songs of past entice
through rose tinted spectacles,
The garden fence sits rusty and the fruit rotten.
Time will never stop aging, much as we run to keep up,
losing our breath in the frosty air.
Childhood memories cherished, slip away from fingers outstretched,
into the fog of time passed.
Leaving with only a faint trace of what once was.
And misguided expectations of what will be.
