Janine Alyssa Navarro Poems

incapable, helpless
sitting on a high wall
legs dangling lifelessly
hair upon a pale face
...

This belongs to me;
I breathe it in
Sniff at it
Around six times a day
...

A viridian glaze greets me this morning
I had to rub my eyes for some tangible clarity
A sudden spray of a fragrance too captivating
I opened my eyes, it was just your scent
...

Behind her wallpapered smile, who is she? Is she graceful?
It hits upon him like an innocent mallet on a xylophone story.

Now there are veils and scarves upon the corners of the walls,
...

Planetary doubts, questions, thoughts
plant beautiful gardens in my silly mind
covered with all sorts of colored kites
that penetrate the grey, unwelcoming skies;
...

Have I flown away,
escaped from these lines,
with tremulous breath, I whisper
“My mind winds to you.”
...

peanut shell cracked
as a slipper danced
across the creaking floor
crimson cup tipped over
...

eft alone
cold and unclothed
in the streets;
you were invisible
...

the pillars and walls
have warned you
but there is
nothing to replace,
...

There are cracks
Uneven and ugly,

There are cracks
...
