After the Race
Leslie Ledezma Apr 2019
Hello Lord, after the race will I find all the
etched names of my heart on the other side of time

Work
Leslie Ledezma Apr 2019
you see the poet’s work, as you would think, is his lyric
but life itself is his work, they lyric is what pairs to every heart beat
all these flowers holding on to sunbeams, saving everything of nothing
I said carrying colors that can paint the sky, shores excellent with diamond sands
moon in your window adding lace to everything
that’s how living is when you;ve a glow unseen, unbearably there

future moments are already here
how they move with self respect that claims to be claimed
it’s all a matter of truth, blaring music at that too

with a balcony like this
summer and mist fall like the morning, from the angels
coastal breezes with tales worthwhile
crystal jar of chocolates, haggard renewing words of living

My Wonderful Stranger
Leslie Ledezma Sep 2018
I wonder, my wonderful stranger
if I were to leave you, what would heaven say?
would they be angry that their sweetly intricate threads
could be thrown in the wind
would they be astonished at our cruelty in taking
such a refined and deliberate dawn for granted?
Heaven knows that I don’t want to know.

— The End —
