Juan Olivarez Poems

A lonely heart behind a pane,
Of foggy glass.
Watching the world go by
Caring nothing,
...

Be happy and smile,
Sadness has gone out of style.
Show those teeth for a while.
...

No more
Caring for someone that doesn't
No more
Sleepless nights
...

Everything has turned to green again,
Spring at last is here.
The fluffy clouds bring the spring rain,
The sky cries it's gentle tears.
...

Drinking my coffee,
Under my elms,
On a humid,
Valley morning,
...

I was only
Ten years old.
When I first saw
The funny blue balloons.
...

Growing up in our family
Was fun for our kids.
my wife and I
Had six children
...

I looked for you
I looked everywhere
In the house
You weren't there.
...

September
Is my month.
Virgo
By birth.
...

I ask for little
Or maybe I ask a lot.

I ask for gentle sunrises,
...
