Janine Alyssa Navarro Poems

Do you believe that you belong
In that drowning sensation
Where you’re safe as long as
You’re constantly inundated?
...

I am alright
I am fine
When bad feelings arise
I know what is wise
...

she tastes as soft as
the first bite
of Tiramisu
slowly dissolving
...

I value life
I’m afraid of death
but sometimes life
makes me say
...

It’s funny how nothingness takes too long to end
How anticipation speed time.

It’s funny how we’d want for cries to end
...

I’m happy, you’re happy
But if something goes wrong
Promise me one thing,
No matter what;
...

In the drunken hour
I searched for purpose.
Maybe a hobby, or a job
but all I got was you.
...
