Sonya Florentino Poems

With the passing of the years
Does it disappear
The hunger I feel
I’m tired of this burning
...

Is it worth it….waiting

Knowing I will never find him
...

You taught me how to fly

above the skies...
...

I want to kiss your stubbled chin
I want to kiss your neck
I want to kiss the jagged scar on your chest
...

You dance around it on tiptoe
Skimming the surface
Ever so shallow
When will you take the plunge
...

A song I loved

since I was a child
...

Sorrow is the slow hands of time

Joy is the second hand ticking
...

I saw a young man today
In an outdoor café
Who reminded me of you
...

(with apologies to Leonardo da Vinci)

What is it with the Cheshire Cat
and that confounding smile
...

For love…

I will do anything and everything
...
