Marie Joyce B. Negapatan Poems

Crawling in the sand
With a burden in my back
...

At first I thought
I had nothing at all
For my life has been
As dull as a wilted flower
...

Slowly,
I can feel your lips on me
Slowly,
I can hear you whisper my name
...

I can never be as graceful as a dolphin.

No, I can never ever be.
...

Sitting beside you today

On a typical morning
...

Seven to go
And all will follow,
...

Pathetic as it seems
But my senses are well delighted
with your dangerous presence.
Playing with fire
...

I have longed been confined
To my own room of fantasies
Groping for something,
Maybe answers or justifications
...

How I wish
For the perfect moment
To commence
As I sit down here
...
