Karen Alc. Poems

I didn’t notice you
You did notice me

I run from you
...

I could fall in love with you
So easy for me to see
What once seemed so blue
I no longer have to flee
...

What am I to you?
A chance to flee from the tangled web you weave
A bitter-sweet note from a violin of discord
The solitary butterfly on the branch of your willow tree
...

Il n’y a pas de quoi, my darling
You’re welcome, it was my pleasure
To be there for you when you needed me
And to go away when you were done with my love
...

When I gaze into your eyes
I cannot see them, for I see right through them
And it becomes apparent then that I have found my true abode
...

Sweetheart,

I know that was you trying to make it
Be patient, my angel, Mommy awaits
...

There's comfort in this darkness
My existence within the confines of this shell is numbing and safe
No need to risk the hurt caused by those experiences that life has to offer...
love, pain, bliss, desperation, elation, passion, misery, desire,
...

The flowers have withered
The seasons are changing
Never would have guessed
Our love would be clinging
...

The future is bright
The move of my life
Me in your arms
Brings absolute calm
...

For the first time, I feel that my life is real
It's amazing what happens when you allow yourself to live...
All of a sudden, life opens up to all the possibilites it has to offer
And you feel as if there's nothing you can't do.
...

Dear Daddy,

What makes me so unforgettable in your eyes?
Yes, I know you've fathered quite a few others
...

Your eyes reveal a vision of truth
A blueprint of strife and loss
A longing for lost loves and new ones to come
No one to blame, your life is your fate
...

You are the power of life
The reward of my strife
My child’s face in the morning
The truth for which I am longing
...

Your tongue has made this journey many times before,
Passing over succulent folds of valleys and hills,
Scented of strawberry and sex,
Tasting sweet and sultry all at once
...

My mind, a confine, so jaded by graphic depictions
of this thing called life, ready to unload the trials and tribulations
it has dissected and digested
...

Karen Alc. Biography

Lover of the written word, forever aspiring spiritual truth, not always sure where I'll find it. I'm a native 'New Yawker', an acculturated Latina who is in love with her Latin roots. I would say that I'm a very happy spirit who likes to give and receive good energy from good people. However, I'm usually inspired to write during times of duress.. I suppose that's the 'tortured artist' in me who finds inspiration in melancholy. My poems generally tell a story of something that's occured or that I had been going through at the time. I have been writing for years, but sadly never kept any of it. I am humbled to place some of my writings amongst so many talented people, but I am also glad that there is an outlet such as this one and such a wonderful network of positive energy. I'm very happy for this site to exist and to be able to share my life in such a strangely intimate way with you all (and vice versa) . Thank you Poemhunter for this wonderful site and for the wonderful people who I have had the honor of chatting with and reading their works. Peace and love to all...)

The Best Poem Of Karen Alc.

The Chase

I didn’t notice you
You did notice me

I run from you
You run to me

I stop running and look back
You stop then, dead in your tracks

I look into your eyes
You begin your spell

I begin to listen
You begin to tell

I start to disarm
You’re aware of your charm

I hear, I see, I like
You hammer down your spike

I’m enthralled, I’m taken
You declare I’m mistaken

I’m intrigued, I want more
You start closing the door

I insist, I persist
You’re interest turns to mist

I’ve confused it… I was wrong
You say “no, it won’t be long'

I want you to be mine
You say we need some time

I recognize the game, the chase, it was on
You’ve conquered, you’re bored, and now you’re just gone.
