Yaritza Florencio Poems

Nothing goes right and nothings okay
Everyone said it’s alright but thats easy to say
That all I had to do was change
Then, I would grow out of it with age
...

I’ve seen many loves and many lovers
Many happy endings that after a while you discover
I’ve seen loves in a mist of war
And I’ve seen loves painting their faces with forget
...

We are born free, And our minds grow caged
But we must agree, If we are to be free.
And if we are to be caged, what more could they do?
We discovered this world. Me, and you.
...

I need to just say a single line
That although sweet, wont make you mine.

That what makes you different, makes you great
...

To reach for the sky
To reach for love
To reach for your kiss
Way up above
...

Diminutive, humble although alluring and appealing
Even substantially obstreperously
Bewitching in a way
Though quick to induct reflection and contemplation
...

The busiest intersection
That I’ve crossed too many times
The deli across the street I know like the back of my hand
I can find anything better than any employee
...

In the school where I spent six years of my life
The halls that I ran through
I see the six graders now and they look smaller than I remember them
And the teachers look more forgiving then,
...

She lives in a moment
Alone, a loner but not by choice
Scarce and unseen, invisible
loud, lacking a voice
...

Touching is a new brand of feeling
A static tingle that conducts from your body to mine
I’ve been touched before but when you touch me I feel it
Really feel it
...
