Ivona Sophia Poems

we are sitting vis-à-vis at the oak table
every day. nothing changes
besides seasons outside. it is going
to snow today. your eyes smile.
...

it has been raining for nine days.
evenings extend indefinitely.
a single candlelight adds a soft touch
to this room. tranquilizes it.
...

sometimes our house is full of music
of the summer, bees dancing around
sunflowers, leaves swishing in the wind.
we listen to voices from the woods,
...

I'm never alone while waiting for you,
life moving fast around me.
time doesn't stay still, my shadow getting longer,
changing curves on the old sidewalk, making me remember
...

I would like to translate my solitude
for you. autumn days when hope
is slowly falling down
leaving me defenseless under cold
...

One autumn, with more drizzle
Than any other,
Your voice cast a spell over me
Unexpectedly close
...

They knocked on my door. In the middle of the night.
There were three. Three old men with long beards.
Disguised bums that were tired and cold. They brought junk.
Gold, myrrh, and incense.
...

We have known each other
From the beginning of time

Where the first dreams
...

and a miracle happened
on an ordinary day
on a Monday or maybe a Wednesday
life happened
...

Allow me to get used to it
With thought of separation
If only for a moment
...
