rain poured down
at 3am
and all I could do
was smile
and it's true when they say
that it's the little things in life
that bring you real joy
the soothing sound of something else
falling as hard and as fast me

enchanted by the way
you held your hands together
so shy and nervous
even for such a beautiful soul

plummeting harder than could
ever be imagined
for you
and your subconscious doings

the way that you bit on your nails
when you had to speak out
and how you always had a lighter
but didn't smoke

and you always wore a smile
and behind your bright blue eyes
there was always more to tell
that would never escape your lips

words stuck on the tongue
never quite making their way out
and a smile so delicate
that held a lifetime of secrets

the vastness of a mind
as beautiful as your own
never ceases to amaze me
and make me wonder about the world

and I love her
 Jul 2013 Mermaid

loving her was like the first cup of coffee
on a saturday morning
sweet and divine
and nothing short of perfection

it was surrounded by endless birdsong
and delicate snowdrops
and frozen fingertips, clinging to one another
for warmth and protection

the closeness that can only be described
as something that is more extraordinary
than anything in the movies
or your dreams

a sense of belonging that you can't find
anywhere but her
her heart my home and her mind my
safety, away from the harm of the world

a soul so beautiful
my old romantic poetry books couldn't
even begin to compare
to this

she was perfect
                    she is perfect
I loved her
                    I love her

Thinking hard...
always thinking too hard
Hurting my precious brain
A little damage it seems today
Technical problems in the brain wires...
Connectivity issues...
Hopes its not too obvious...
Or I'd make myself looks too dumb..

Trying to look strong and cool...
Still My mind travels elsewhere...
and it seems to be everywhere...
Searching for the cure...
a treatment is  nowhere...
I am praying for a speedy cure
Oh god...
Where did My mind go?

My Meditation

My Meditation

I'm drunk on the 101, hopin' I don't see a cop before I see the sun
Always dancing to the beat of my own drum, but hey, I'm havin' fun!

I'm just a young man,
doing my best not to fall back into the trash can

That I came from, that made me tote a gun and steal for a financial fund cause that wasn't fun

I can be a little explicit, but it's my life and that's just how I live it,
I'd rather die chokin' on a biscuit before I'm fed *******

Exquisite and unique it's not my car or my outfit, it's the way I speak
Learned a lot of lessons so I got a lot to teach
Not one to preach, but your gonna feel me if I'm within reach

Painting an optimistic yet unrealistic picture play of a pessimistic set in an idealistic way

No, not me, just someone I see,

So I refrain from being critical I just stay literal, I just play the criminal,
and try to use my words to deliver a message that's subliminal

Maybe I should worry about just me,
Maybe I should stop writing and just be
Maybe I would if I could, but I can't so it must mean

I'm meant to do this...

-J.A.M
the stranger led me to the edge of the cliff.
he pushed me.
i flew.
i wonder how he knew
i would.

Nature's redolent perfumes
Awaken the puckish character within
I laugh and jest in a dalliance with breath
Knowing nature remains an aromatic
Reminder of the potential glamour
Of this life o' brevity
