Alonzo Titus Poems

A single word spoken carelessly
can break a heart unmercifully,
and draw a silence not easily broken
even if that word was just a token,
...

PTSD

This day has been a struggle
caused by memories still alive,
...

When a single clear drop of rain
falls upon the petal of a flower,
and enhances the cleanliness 
of rain cooled air,
...

Thank you Lord for all the beauty
you've placed across the Earth,
the beautiful scenery, the wonderful sky,
and the Oceans all have their worth,
...

There's no beginning that will not end
as time slips silently by,
we can only hope that while we're here
no tears will fill our eyes,
...

Death has stocked us since our birth
as it has any one born on earth,
Animal, human, fish or other,  
will be stocked by death,  
...

What's the different between an orange,
a difficult question to answer,
it might be easier to understand
if you were a squirrel or a hamster,
...

Will the pragmatism of time
allow us to meld the thoughts that
form our basic instinct of preserving
our sanity,
...

There once was a little duckling
who lived very near a pond,
he would sleep in a nest
with his mother at night
...

As down toward my feet I gaze,
my vision blocked by a bulging maze,
I'm reminded in most significant ways,
I've eaten too much, for too many days.
...
