Janine Alyssa Navarro Poems

Do you believe that you belong
In that drowning sensation
Where you’re safe as long as
You’re constantly inundated?
...

To the time wasted upon the stoplight
When I hung up the phone
Just to curse under my breath
As you strayed the white lights
...

she tastes as soft as
the first bite
of Tiramisu
slowly dissolving
...

I value life
I’m afraid of death
but sometimes life
makes me say
...

I am alright
I am fine
When bad feelings arise
I know what is wise
...

It’s funny how nothingness takes too long to end
How anticipation speed time.

It’s funny how we’d want for cries to end
...

In the drunken hour
I searched for purpose.
Maybe a hobby, or a job
but all I got was you.
...
