Janine Alyssa Navarro Poems

Devoid of sleep
sweat on skin
reaching out for you
I feel laundered space.
...

Your sensual scent, I remember
Your soft touch, I remember
Your carnal taste, I remember
Your voice that cooed, I remember
...

I don’t want us to be a silhouette,
I want us to be the light.
I don’t want to be a story unwritten,
I want us to be the song everybody sings.
...

The darkness has brought
upon me every burden
They choke me, you choke me
I flap for air, in vain
...

you’ve been hurt and ill
for such a long time
you’d think it was clothed with you
when you started to breathe
...

You’d want a mug of blood
But all I have is a sip of it
But I’d offer it to you anyway
You need it more than I do
...

Should I stop or give it a go
bulwarks crumble, they fall
yet attend to what’s being spoken
untenable is the clear stillness.
...

that kind of pain
you wished was
tangible enough
to be flung
...

hey babe
I’m on a morning run
the sun still isn’t up
since I kept it in my pocket
...

hands of the clock
compete with each other
the sunset’s gone
in a blink of an eye
...
