Sonya Florentino Poems

The rain falls heavy on my shoulders
The wind keeps blowing to the west
I have to fight to keep from falling
My faith in you my only strength
...

I will not cry when you leave
I will suffer, I will die
But for you... I will smile
...

I still can't get used to the cold
It still chills me to the bone
No matter how thick my coat
Or how many winters I've known
...

She's an ordinary woman from Paraguay
Just trying to write her own poems
Or so, as she has written in her bio
...

Too many people
Not enough trees
Too many impotent
Bureaucracies
...

You are the a i r ethereal
The quick! ephemeral
The a i r - the wind - the sky!
I am the flame! fanatical
...

Once I was visited
But that was long ago
Now I sit here waiting
By this tiny window
...

Where in the world is Alicia
Who used to post poems on this site
I hope she’s still somewhere in Paraguay
...

Will you be that lover I've been waiting for
Will you be that lover who will take me home
Will you be my other, will you hold my hand
When I say forever will you understand
...

hush, quiet
only for a while
i want to hear your heart beat
and feel it against mine
...
