Alicia Campos Poem
If only they new that
they would die they
reach for their
stars instead
of him and he
would look down
upon them.
Making one cry,
making one sigh
thinking
why oh why did he do
this to me?
letting one fall and
breaking apart,
not knowing
they did it to
themselves.
Oh why did they
do this painting with
a brush over the
sky never looking
up to say
who did that, or why?
Foolish thoughts ones
say Making it seem
wrong in their
youthful days
Thinking
what's wrong? Whats right?
Is it a dream
or just another light?
Does it make sense?
They say why do this
and not do that when
at the same time
they turn their backs.
Is it confusing sometimes?
Or is it just
those who cant find
the time?
Making them
sigh again wondering
what better to give
when not wanting to
cry when they know it
shows fear in ones eyes.
Keeping it in
until one day they
let it all go like a
river that goes,
and flows,
and flows. If only
they new that they
could live
changing their lives
just a little bit.
Reaching for their
minds instead of their
hearts.
Foolish desires ones say,
true says another When
they themselves cant
help oneself.
lieing in their own
faces thinking they
know it all when they
cant realize
they don't because
they're stupid and
blind of their own
foolish thoughts
and desires.
But men sitting
on ice they say what
a wonderful thing
they say but i say
icicles slicing their
stubborn lips, and
thorns with poison
burning their tongues
with dew drops behind
the sun. Sounding like
pebbles splashing in
water were nobody knows,
were nobody goes because
its unseen to ones
naked eyes only the
pure of heart can
see it. were lemon
drops grow sweeter
then life making sugar
taste bitter and cold.
The rusty old car sitting
in vines were ones used
to look and say wow
look i wish that were
mine, but know undefined.
Ones weakness ones
fame ones gray head of
wisdom like the snow
on the mountains
peek looking over
our shoulders saying
take these wings
and dice and fly.
