Aldo Kraas Poems

Hard living
In the country
Planting the corn
In the fields
...

Rag Town
Rag Town
Rag Town
Is just like any other town
...

I am finally learning not to lie
For all those years I lied a lot
Because by lying I thought I could hide it
And make it sound better to me
...

Your holiness
You are everything to me
Your holiness
If I had the tongue of an angel
...

In spring
All the flowers that we planted
The year before comes up in our garden
The sweet smell of the roses and the flowers
...

I can't leave
Because I am waiting for God to come
And kiss me at midday
That kiss sweet
...

Old man
Your wallet dropped
Out of your pants pocket
Into the floor
...

She is shy
She all dressed up for the night
And she doesn't have any one to hold
And give that warm gentle kiss
...

Silence in the sky
Silence in the sky
Silence in the sky
I don't hear any sound at all
...

There was sturdust in her eyes
Baby
What do I have to do for you to love me?
How can I get to you?
...
