Janine Alyssa Navarro Poems

I don’t understand
But I accept.

I am scared
...

it's not easy
we need to go
through fire and ice
endure broken glass
...

Wander
To the ends of the world
she claimed to go
wherever may that be
...

A body so stagnant
writhes with unease,
her pulse beats faster
and mind does not cease.
...

Stings like poison bereft of anecdote
Skies empty of warm clouds
Tasteless like rivers of not wine but mist
A warm body with a beat-less heart
...

A child is an author of his or her own kind
as soon as they’re born into this world.
Their minds are filled of written hopes and dreams,
their hearts are one with the world.
...

In the presence of light
without you in its midst
is of no use at all.
What is joy
...

I won’t let you down,
said you
with a voice
so tender and warm.
...

With eyes well-shut
I can see better.
With eyes well-closed
I can live better.
...

Sitting, sitting
waiting as he did
watch-glancing
and a mind flying.
...
