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
...

I lie awake
fickle is my heart
struggling to be found
but I stumble.
...

the piercing eyes I got lost in
the delicate touch I keep coming back for
the lustful kiss that poisoned me
the warmth that gripped at my soul
...

I took you to the tallest building
confessed how much I loved you.
But all you said were
“The lights tonight are pretty.”
...

The world passed her by
hoping she was meant for more
she spread her wings and jumped
she fell; she couldn’t fly.
...

It’s fascinating when somebody calls you “princess”
just because you seem so flawless in his eyes.
Even though your face is painted with pain
he’ll efface their trace from your blushing cheeks.
...
