Jennifer Rosario Poems

Ladies, I do appreciate all that you've done..
I've got my right to own land and to choose my divorce
I've got a right to a pay raise and to own my house, of course,
right to vote and freedoms in literature and prose.
...

When I was young,
I believed I could fly
if I closed my eyes tight enough.
I rolled down hills
...

As I walk along cobblestones
I see the drowning faces of yesterday's infants
pale from the winter skies.
The youth, with vacant eyes and dread-locked hair,
...

It's one of
those nights
The kind that drives you
back
...

Your words envelop my soul.
They press into me like fire
On the coldest of nights.
When I hear your voice
...

I've become stricken
With the notion
That I may never get well.
I may never feel the richness
...

Little hands there now are so big
where has time gone, where
yesterday was tomorrows dreams
the future is yet to come
...

Let the night go swiftly
Let peace fill the air
In the morning rays
Make shadows disappear
...

and then it ended
just like that
a clock that
ran
...

I want to write. I want to paint. I want to take pictures of the sun.
I want to feel you in all I do. I want you to come through it all.
I want to struggle with paint and guitar, photo and sea to get a glimpse of you,
to feel you in the air surrounding me.
...
