Violetta Antonia Sorcini Poem
Frantic searching for my sanity as the odor of explosives and burning flesh assault my soul. Longing for the boredom of stuffy barracks my eyes my friends constantly search for your return I hide all but fear.
We know the death of friends but in our life embrace we conceal all that is deferred for recollection in our final days. For now bravado, lots of scotch, and a Thai stick sets the pattern for our only security.
Lost are the joys of spirit we envisioned as children; gone is the clarity and respect for lives easily expended in the most secret of a nation’s honor, generalities served in a bitter beer.
I know you friend, your dreams your plans you say them softly in your sleep. Our prayers to will keep you safe.
We dare to plan in-country encouraged by being too short not to let our minds drift at the possibilities.
We hope that God is truly on our side and confess only in our eyes the sins we speak to no one.
The blood of those we do not know anoints the heads of those we do and love for now, until our final taps brings us home.
With this kiss of honor I embrace what remains of you my friend and your courage. I curse your departure and salute the honor of our time together.

Violetta Antonia Sorcini Poem
When the stars touch the earth with light
It travels an eternal distance
Love, friendship are like that
We have endured time
With all its experiences and found treasures
Grief finds us two new lovers and friends
At a new precipice full of unknowns with smiles
broken hearts with wings
hoping for the gates of heavens love to open
Just for us
Be of courage my love you have peeked at your desires
You have stepped with the threshold at your feet
You have looked at the sun and seen the shadows
Disappear if only from moment to moment
Revealing new treasures
The heart expands to greet the new adventure
The new love with hope with reverence with a prayer
Life's breath exhales a new version
A new reason for hope
A new soul that sees into your eyes
And sees passion
potential for true love
A vision that is interpreted by every cell
Of our bodies that says "yes, this is the one
Blessed to touch our hearts with trust
With words
With light
With time to say all that will
Bring passion to our final travels
To find home
In the closeness of you.
That my love is a friend
That my love is my love
Full of prayer
Full of time and light
Answers only to God
A love made
For each other
In heaven
In our hearts.

Violetta Antonia Sorcini Poem
A feather falling, floating, following my life in endless space
Meeting sunsets on oceans in pinks, reds and delicious orange spread across horizons
Passing in slow motion as birds squawk goodbye flapping wing
Red skies this morning my heart pounds to a quick
Anxiety runs, fleeing from memories where you held me like a stuffed toy cuddled
A future we thought we knew blew across my face spilling wet grief
The course of love like jewels fallen from heaven meet the ground
Treasures buried in sightless time
My heart was a gift without threads to mend it
I knew you with a touch in waves moments that defined us
In a tragic second shadowed memories my gift my grief
Our children at hand kissing your passing in love with trembling emotions
Your ghost haunts my life, floating like a falling feather in endless space
