Sonya Florentino Poems

He made me stop… and listen to a leaf fall

The sun burn... the grass grow

Ghost Poem 1 (Where Ghosts Hide)

Under lock and key, in dark corners

They are the shadows of the past
...

Life is day
And death the night

Light and dark's

He was standing
in the middle of the highway
in mid-January, in the cold
in a decent-looking coat
...

A little girl on the bus today
made another little girl cry
When she wouldn’t let the
other one sit beside her
...

They looked

to me like
...

A poem writes itself
I merely follow
As it leads me
through the shadows
...

With his back to me
the black crow holds me in place
...

Makes me wonder if you’re still alive
Or is your absence - this silence
Your way of saying goodbye
...

Does the weather make me suffer more than anyone

Was a dark cloud assigned to hound me
