Sonya Florentino Poems

What was I to you
Nothing
Like the wind
In passing
...

(with thanks to Sandra Fowler, for reminding me of the beautiful month of April)


I am the beginning
...

Ah, Youth
Everyone loves you
Everyone is envious of you
So, Youth
...

When I woke up this morning
I found myself alone
When the sun came out shining
His love for me was gone
...

How can death be near
Does it whisper still
All I hear is the lark singing
...

Cold dark rain
Upon my face erase the tears
A biting wind whips
And blows away my fears
...

It was a dream fantastic
A night of magic
The day I flew
Over mountains
...

I'm a volcano spewing words
I can't get enough out there
I'm a volcano and it hurts
I'm a volcano about to burst!
...

I wish I were a cat
content and proud
At peace with the world
...

If I'm no longer inspired
Consider me dead
If I'm no longer in love
Put me to bed!
...
