My Mind's Room
Cups of tequila,
Sitting by the window,
Thinkin suicidal,
thinkin bout the days when you were sitting in your bridal dress,
Everything about this has me stressed,
It's really hard to get this off my chest,
I just wish you had said yes..
But you never did,
Drinking till I'm sober,
Painting on my wrists,
What about the things you said, remember everything?
Pictured us together, happy, six or seven kids...
Guess it wasn't meant to be..
Wish I could erase this,
All these memories
It hurts to think that now, we're each others' enemies.
The day that I accept you left will be the end of me

Conscious
******, These nights so restless,
Wrestling with my conscience, you left me so breathless.
Now I'm speechless, that means that I'm wordless.
If tears hold value, then maybe I am worthless,
Cuz I bawled hard, yes, I cried my eyes out.
Poured all of my heart out, til' it was inside out.
So let's just pretend, if love is all we have,
All I have ain't broken, my heart isn't in half.

To live, means dying,
Hardly ever sleep but

Prometheus
Shake away, reverberate and vibrate higher,
Rise until you reach the sun and through the cosmic fires.
Press on, keep on rising, just do not descend.
He who risks it all, lives off better in the end.
Some call me naive, others strong and brave.
But how can I not be that when I've felt death's cold embrace?
Laughed straight at its face?
Never feeling timid,
So close to feeling dead, but really feeling vivid.
Courage in my being,
Coursing through my veins.
Never have I ran away,
To do so is a shame.
To do so is insane,
To do so would be lame,
one way or another,
They'll remember my name.

It's love,
There's no mistake.
I wanna scream and shout.
And tell everyone I have found.
True love.

Will you?
Sometimes at night, I think about the willow,
When I'm resting on my pillow, and I'm feeling real, real low.
Beat myself up, I'm feeling down like the leaves are.
Emotions rise and fall like a see-saw,
So I'm heading to the ER.
A patient, patiently awaiting.
Cuz I know that there is somethin that can save me.
I was feeling way too down for too long,
I looked like I was falling but I'm still standing strong.
Still holding on, my roots run deep,
Let it seep into your essence when I weep,
I'll take a leap of faith, so watch me branch out.
They'll never take the bark out of my mouth

Infinite
Still can't understand it, curse myself, its damning,
I am just one man, I am Jonathan Fernandez,
Consumed deeply in thought, stranded from the world,
Cogitating by myself, along with my own words,
I've escaped through notebooks, paper, pens, and lexicons,
I've been driven madly and destroyed all that I've set upon,
But these verses hold my cure, in it I find solace,
These words turn my soul pure, I offer no condolence,
Please excuse me if my mind decides to crash upon me,
I try so hard to stay alive but I feel like a zombie,
People stare and point at me, laughing cuz I'm different,
I laugh cuz you're the same, I'm glad that we are distant.
So I hold no regrets, I vow to never change,
true I will remain, no matter if I'm sane,
This is my domain, I've carved out my whole name,
seared it deep in flames, to immortalize my fame.
I just want to change the world, one person at a time,
feel it in every verse rehearsed, deep in every line,
I swear that I will do it if it's the last thing that I do,
Even if I have to write tens of millions of haikus,
Even if I have to write until the day I'm dead,
Even if my arms fall off, I'll write them with my legs,
I'll even write my own never-ending story,
True poetry is dead? I'll restore its glory,
My future's undecided, as fickle as the weather,
can the weatherman, tell us that, turn us to a better man?
Nothing's really certain, believe me when I say that.
I know that painful truth, because it hurts my mind to play back,
Speeding on the freeway, dawning on a new day,
Getting hard to relate, this is new praise when you lose faith.
Keep your head up, listen and embrace the somber silence,
Take life for what it's worth and always keep on smiling.
Cherish every minute, time keeps flying by,
I swear I saw it ticking down, I hope it doesn't die.
But die it must and die it shall, die it surely will,
I write so many poems because words cannot be killed.
My words will be here long after I'm dead,
The only word I want's 'Forever' on my epitaph.

You can mix this into water, and It'll taste great
Rubbing it on a fresh cut, you will hate,

Bookit
My words are rich, take em as food for thought,
Poetry that's gleaming, I can never get enough.
Going crazy on a mind trip, off, out on a quest,
Calm and collected on the surface, but I'm a mess,
on the inside, I'm still crooning so loudly,
Yea, I'm freaking weird but I say it so proudly,
Grew into a man from a little sonny boy,
who used to play with dinosaurs and other funny toys.
I found my snow white, we fit like hands and gloves,
and winter and jackets, and happiness and love.

Acrolicious
Just a couple of words,
Original, in order, not a typical verse
Neat, nice, now another definition
Awesome and amazing, my addiction
That is poetry to me,
How could it not be
An inspiring thing
Nihilistic poetry.

I Found It
And I'm addicted to your love...
I can't imagine my life here without it.
I would die if you left me I fear I don't doubt it.
You promise you won't disappear, just stay grounded.
And I'll assure that my love for you dear, is so boundless

Blissful Ignorance
Ignorance is bliss.. or so they say,
But spouting off your ignorance? Now that is not okay.
Keep your stupid bliss, wrongful diss, for you, I'll make a wish,
I'll wish and pray, you stop the hate, and plead you do not procreate.
Open your eyes and your mind, yours is like a box.
In due time, you'll realize, you're as dumb as rocks

Ever After
In this fairy tale story..
You are my maiden
And you very well know we..
Can not just stay friends..
Cuz we are so much more than that,
It's you that I adore, in fact,
If time is of the essence, let's find out how long forever lasts.

Speak
Who cares who's dating who, or the ring that's on a star's hand.
This country's egocentric,
Who cares about a far land?
Puppet master is a harsh man,
We're stuck like cats in tar traps,
They are the elite,
We are primitives like Tarzan.
Tell me, what is the cause and,
What is the effect?
This situation makes me wanna scream out **** it!, like tourettes,let your thoughts be heard for they'll live long after you're dead,
Speak like you are deaf, ignore oppressive tongues.
The second we refuse to fight,
They've already won.

Short Lister
To the moral of the story, I can be your trickster
You can be my missy, I can be your mister,
Let me be the twister, be the wind all around me,
surrounding, raging a storm and astounding,
A maelstrom of air compounding, breeze by breeze,
leaves on trees, you can dance on me,
and we, can see, our future so clearly, vividly,
creating a 'you and me' into 'we'.
thus, simply, living contently.

Headed towards mine demise,
Shed no tears and hear no cries.
Water shall not fall, and none will spout.
Not even the darkest clouds will let rain out.
Hereinafter, smiling laughter,
Will be the name of our new chapter

You give me vivid visuals,
These thoughts in my brain.
Are takin hold of me, controlling me, they make me insane.

And I have you to blame.

I know that you feel the same

What a Waste
Life is way too precious just to waste it,
It's sad to say, you can't ever replace it,
It would be nice if all the hate, we could erase it,
And stop all of the killing with no logic and/or basis,
No matter what the case is, killing's not the way,
Question the effects of the causes of today,
People **** for as little as simple cents,
I sense a strong pretense, it doesn't make any sense.
If to their defense, it was just an accident,
Then I hate everything you represent.
If holding a gun makes you feel like a man.
that's pathetic and I hate all of that for which you stand.

Bullet
A body filled with lead and dread,
Encased in metal shreds,
And though it looks so small and harmless, one will leave you dead.
No, it has no voice or tongue but you can hear its words.
Universally renowned, known throughout the world.
Worse, it's worn in wars, but wanes whenever peace is wanted.
Can take the biggest coward and
make him feel undaunted.
A bullet is no joke,
If you got some, its beyond dumb.
It's sad to say that bullets are cheaper than packs of condoms.
Before you spray some bullets,
Spit out words instead.
Yea, both can be hurtful,
But a bullet wants you dead.

Wake Up
I'm lower class..
Like K4 in elementary.
The things I write tend to make some people sorta scared of me.
But I don't write for you,
I speak what's on my mind.
Half of you don't see the truth,
yet none of you are blind.
Bravery or common sense is not something I lack,
I can write you novels with both hands behind my back.
In fact now, I assure you,
if given the chance, with these hands, I could do much more than Bush did for Iraq.
So don't believe the lies,
Lift the veil up from your eyes,
The media brainwashes us,
Let's realize and stop it.
Swath it
I'm a poet with no profit,
If I'm insane now, in a decade, I'm a prophet.

Sparks
I can't contain it or explain it,
I'm drawn in, I cannot stop
Our love's a raging storm,
And she's the lightning rod.
The spark is in the air,
... Can you feel it? It's a shock,
The friction is addicting,
Speeds the ticking of the clock.

PB & J
A perfect blend of devil's wine.
Angel sin, she's hell divine,
Yin and Yang combined.
Two sides that coincide,
The sky and the riptide,
... We're birds of a feather,
Two peas in a pod.
Yea, she makes me better,
It's so right that it feels odd

Token of my Thanks
I came into existence the 12th of February.
Blessed, guess it was hereditary.
Both tryin to be something,
Literally came with nothing,
My parents heard the negativity,
... But thought none of it.
My mother was so strong.
Though she was faced with doom.
She grit her teeth and pulled through,
And held me deeply in her womb.
My father persevered, shed tears and blood and sweat,
Yet if I ask him now, I know there's nothing he regrets.
So bless their hearts and souls, because everything's ok.
They're the reason that I'm standing here today.

Ode to Order
What a sight to see,
Poets, write some poetry.
Any kind of poetry, I read or write, is close to me.
Capture life in words,
What's to say what you'll convey?
... It can rain on your parade,
Erase the clouds on cloudy days.
Poetry in motion,
Poets create emotions
Deeper than the ocean,
Stronger than endorphins.
What a sight to see,
Poets write some poetry.
It feels so right to me,
A soothing remedy

Feelin it
You're made up of love and serenity,
Can't believe half the **** she's telling me.
I've never felt this, true love is revealing,
What I'm feeling, tell me, can you feel it?
I feel it, feelings got me feeling higher than the ceiling,
You've given me something I can believe in.
So real, it's unreal, what I feel,
like I took too many pills,
It's surreal, I am dead, yet my heart keeps beating still.

Shade
It's sad, something that looks beautiful to most,
Can mean pain and suffering to others that are close.
You can paint a pretty picture,
Pretend that he won't hit you.
Say its not an issue,
'Till you're crying into tissues.
And when the sun's down,
And the picture gets more dark.
Your brain implodes,
And splatters like a rorschach.
Keep the ignorance and silence in your mouth.
And don't keep lookin inside from the out.

Call of the Siren
Mesmerized just like a

I hear your soul, it's crying out

It's far too tempting to stop,
And way too hard to resist.
Got me wishing, thinking,
what I wouldn't give for a kiss.

Phantom Heart
My beauty queen, a vivid dream,
Fill me with peroxide.
Wash my sins, I'm looking in,
Stranded from the outside.
I beg and pray, what can I say?
Your frigid lips are still.
You didn't die, alone that night,
Both you and I were killed.

Make sure it's true
True love's between a pair,
It can take a heart and break it.
Make you visually impaired,

Cuz makin love first is complicated,

Questioned and debated.
So just make sure it's worth it.
True love is so sought after cuz it's perfect.

You should've kissed me one last time,
you'll miss me when I'm gone.

You have no idea, not an inkling,

Let our bodies both unite.

Still
How I miss you so, no poem could describe it,
As hard as I could try it,
There's no way that I could hide it,
If anyone would ask me,
There's no way that I'd deny it.
I'm still in love with you,
Of this one thing, I'm so sure,
I'm losing my composure,
My thoughts are hardly kosher,
My heart is still like posters,
I've been through ups and downs,
My heart is on a roller coaster.

All I ask is how?
To have you near me now,
I'd give my life away
Such a meager price to pay.
Coping with the loss

Love 3000
Sweet kisses to the missus in my heart,
In my soul, she lives, yet, she seems so very far.
We make love so beautiful, and she's a work of art,
But part of us is missing, can you tell me what it means?...
She's got me mixed up like a plastic cup of solo.
Everytime she asks, i say I'll love her more tomorrow,
and everywhere she walks, then love is sure to follow.
Full of sorrow cuz I only see her in my dreams...

She's always there, no matter what you couldn't sway
The way she feels about me, yet I tend to push away
Always deep in roses, yet alone is where I tread
The way I give my heart up, swear you'd think that I was dead but
Next time I think that I deserve a heads up,
Cupid, if you shoot me, better use a different weapon
Cuz fallin for you hurt me but I swear I don't regret it
And though I've never said it, know that I'll never forget it.
Maybe we'll unite again if fate does intervene
If we stay the same or change or if there is a 'we'
And if it is true love, then I hope it never ends
But if you're not the one, then why can't we just pretend?
A mix of the good and bad of my relationship.

Come Closer
Are we living in a dream, girl?

You look better than my dream girl.

You're all that and a bag of chips.

I kinda laugh when you mad as ****.

Cuz that face you make's adorable,

I feel like Napoleon, your body is explorable.

Yea, cuz you relieve the stress in me.

One touch, you caressing and ******* me.

Need a hero? Well, I could be your great knight

Lost in the clouds, you're an angel, we could take flight.

This love? you should never bottle it.

Perfection, baby girl, you embody it!



I hope you say 'I do'.

I'll do anything or try to.

There's nothing I won't buy you

Baby, it's no lie, i think you are my idol.

Soo, please do not stay idle.

Such a beauty, you're an eyeful.

Now can I get a pieful?

I'm your hero, you're the princess in my Hyrule.

Like a bird, babe I'm fly, boo.

You got me feeling high, too.

I swear I'll make you mine soon.

1 outta 10, you are a 5... times two.
The peak of our love. At our best. After this, it was a downward hill

— The End —
