Ballad Poem by Sonia Sanchez

'' forgive me if I smile young heiress of a naked dream you are so young and i too old to learn of love. '' '' perdonami se sorrido, giovane ereditiera di un sogno spoglio; tu sei così giovane, ed io troppo vecchio per imparare l'amore. ''

You are so sure of love! Thanks for sharing this lovely poem with us.

Beautifully conceived meaningful ballad. Thanks for sharing.10 points.

An interesting poem by Ms. Sanchez gives food for thought. Are we ever too old to learn of love?

orgive me if i smile young heiress of a naked dream you are so young and i too old to learn of love. too old to learn to love............ a fine poem. tony

forgive me if i smile young heiress of a naked dream you are so young and i too old to learn of love......love is love; love can tolerate all, love is unstable power even in severe lost. True love never broken down into pieces, lives with the confidence though the memory of love never dies; great poem penned; pleasure to read

This is a superb poem which expresses the anxiety of the old toward the young when it comes to expressions of love. Very well written. One of my favorites!

Lovl. Sonia you kill me. Beautiful poem. I like the part the part she lies under and goes to sleep. I wish i could write like this though. Sigh!

Please, someone can tell me when did she write this poem? I need this information for a homework. Thank you.

A very beautiful poem of contrasts about young and old, About love and emotionally beautiful +++++
