"djm" poems
And at 2am the world
looks a little different.
It is a magical time
where good plans go
bad and bad plans go
good and you can look
around you and not a single
thing will move. It is at
that exact time you feel
like you are all there is.
No other people, no
animals, not a thing.
It is you and the big world.
Such a magical feeling
can surely only be coupled
with a sense of incredible
loneliness, but if you can't
just sit with yourself at 2am
and not feel empty, then
what can you do?

And if love was warmth,
I felt like I was in the arctic,
wearing very little,
and with very little hope.
Love can be warmth,
but then it can become
the worst kind of cold.

Give away attachment in favour of happiness. Attachment to her. Attachment to him. Attachment to things. Attachment to hope, dreams and beliefs. Attachment makes you heavy. Attachment drains you. It holds you just tight enough to let you see the world, but not explore it.

And in a flash of blinding happiness
you turned my "will I ever find love"
into "she's a gift from above".
You came into my life
the same way fires rip through forests,
with great power and force.
You turned my doubts into beliefs
and my fears into hopes.
You showed me a side of life
that I didn't understand.
You held my heart. You held my hand.
You pulled me up from darkness
and showed me light
like I had never seen before.
But once you showed me it,
you turned the light off.
You took it away.
You had shown another the light
and they took it from you and now
you're scared that I will do the same.
djm
And in a flash of blinding sadness
you turned my "you're my one and only"
into "I'm so lonely".
You stole from me something
I never truly had. Now your smile
and laugh are scratched into the walls
of my brain as horrible memories
and it's only late at night
that I can let these memories crush me.
You turned from "she is the one I want to kiss"
to "she is the one I truly miss".

She scared me because she was going to shine whether I was there or not. She knew she didn't need anyone else for her to have a brilliant life, so she started building one on her own.

You can tell me who you are.
Well you can try.
Though that isn't who you are.
I don't want to know that.
I don't want to know 3pm you.
I want to know 3am you.
I want to know how your mind works.
I want to see it.
I want to see you.
Your secrets.
Your desires.
Your fears.
I want to see you at 3am.
When there are no walls.
Let me tear them down.
Let me in.
I love you.

Love is a teacher
that teaches everyone,
although it's painful,
and not much fun
When we learn to lose,
we learn to live,
we learn to recover,
and we learn to give
It may take time,
maybe even years,
but soon it will pass.
You'll forget the tears
You'll learn to be
just like you were
before that person came
and make you hurt

When I look at you,
I lose myself.
I lose who I was.
I lose who I am.
I feel heavy.
I feel light.
I feel breathless.
I feel dizzy.
I feel this.
I feel us.
When I look at you,
I feel forever.

Somedays I write poems and somedays I sing songs. Somedays I feel bliss and somedays are too long. Somedays I exercise and somedays I smoke bongs. Somedays I feel myself and somedays I feel wrong.

*You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
Now listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you...*

*You weigh the world with your questions
You'd have us tell no lies

I'm going to shoot through
And leave you...*\

The whiskey tickles my tongue
as I think of you and where
you are, but then again
I dont really care
I dont think I will ever care
because I think I always
loved the thought of you more
than I ever actually loved you
But there is another now
whom I adore from head to toe.
One day you will look back
and realise you were wrong
One day you will see me smile
and realise it isn't for you.
That is when your world will crash
just like mine had so many times

I fell in to you recklessly and without a thought of what the repercussions would be if you refused to catch me.

Desensitisation to the objects around you is inevitable. Buy the new car you've always wanted, that outfit you've been dreaming of, the latest phone, the best of the best in all aspects. Buy it all, but I promise you after long enough they all just become things you own and they lose their magic. Spend your time and money on experience, not objects.

Look at a tree and see the beauty caused by the weather it endured. Let your hard times bend your trunk and twist your limbs. Let the wind rustle your leaves and crack your bark. Let the hard times mould you into the unique symbol of strength you deserve to be.

Gushing thoughts pound against the walls of my mind like the raging sea. Untamed and irrational, I'm sure I'll drown in them one of these days.

Undeniably spontaneous in the splashes she makes in this word. Skipping herself across life feels easy when home doesn't have a postcode and everyone she meets is a friend.

Have you ever looked at someone,
and as soon as you did,
you could see yourself with them?
I'm not saying you look at them
and think they are attractive,
but you could really see yourself
with this person even though
you barely know them
If you have, do you remember it?
Do you remember that specific moment
in time?

And if I'm mankind, then you're the ocean. It's true. I've only discovered 5% of you. Only you know what destructive creatures are swimming in the depths of yourself and I'm yet to see. Everything in me wants to know, though. I want to know your ins and outs. I want to know your every ****** expression, every mood, every twitch, every scent. I want to feel you cover my skin as I dive into the unknown. I want to understand you. And I know you don't even understand yourself, but can anyone really? Maybe we all need an outsider. Maybe we all need to be explored. Maybe we are all waiting to unlock the ninety-five missing percent.

Mazes and labyrinths and puzzles and riddles,
confused and belated to answer, belittled,
confounded and stupefied mesmerized fate,
hypnosis of focus, synopsis escape.
Falling to ashes on bricks with the snow,
gravity's palm lets me down light and slow,
roses rain down with me sunrise a blur,
bubbling blue skies protrude from the earth,
This winter hello to goodbye, and molasses,
let me go home with the light on their glasses,
severe the ties and the ropes of existence,
to free me to freedom of thought and,good riddance,
Patterns and intricate problems of math,
simplistic classical music of facts,
knowledge, perfection, reality, god
the being of truth which unquestioned is flawed,
Release me to own me my independent self,
Without you I'm happy and with you in hell,
The answer is thinking time, real and alone,
Not what we now call our thinking cell phone.
Please release me.
Let me go.
For I don't love you,
anymore.

If the world cursed me to see one thing for the rest of my days, I'd pray it was the image of you in a moment of true happiness and bliss. Your soul shines through your pores when you smile and no words I write could ever describe how beautiful that is.

Raindrops on windows start so small.
They slowly move along
while picking up bits as they go.
They collect more and more
until soon they are too full.
Their decline quickens
and then they smash
into a beautiful catoic display
of falling apart.
Humans are quite like raindrops.

I toss and turn at night. Not out of discomfort, nor out of sadness. I lay awake thinking of her. I think of the way her tongue sits between her teeth after we kiss. I think of how looking into her eyes is one of easiest things I've ever done. I think of how being around her brings me the same comfort one's own bed does. I think of how our bodies are entangled and traced by the other. I think of her laugh. I think of her smile. I lay awake thinking of a girl who I hope thinks of me as much as I think of her.

A lot of people feel that if they drag themselves around the world and see the monuments everyone keeps telling them they should see, then they will be cultured, understanding, and perhaps even find some sort of new self. What they tend to forget is that you could see the world ten times over but if you didn't change your mindset before the journey then you'll just be the same you in a prettier place. Journey inside before you journey out there.
