"jcm" poems
Sun kissed
Summer glow
Beach rose
Petals spread
Beauty bestowed
For you my admire grows

Red Lips
Soft and delicate
Like the petals of a rose
Kisses sweeter than honey
Let me bee in your garden
Help you grow
Explore your meadows
Getting lost
I want to be tangled
In your vines
Giving caution
To your thorns
But I have some too

You see right through me,
as though through a glass.
Unnoticed, ignored, invisible.
But I have flesh and blood,
I feel love, joy, pain like you.
Unnoticed, ignored, invisible.
You forget my name, repeatedly
mention someone else's
Unnoticed, ignored, invisible,
you tall a lot of smack
but when it boils down
you've hurt someone
you can never have back
Insensitivity can be forgiven
but only if its recognized,
apologized for.
Unnoticed, ignored, invisible.
My heart is as big as the western skies
but even a pin hole can drain such as I
I deserver better treatment than this
I demand better treatment than this
In the end, I will get better treatment
that this.
Unfortunately for you, respect goes both ways.
and I do not give what i don't receive.
I wont let you treat me as Invisible.

Lost faith sometime ago
Scooping you up
In those planes
Where moon touches earth
Found an angel riding shotgun
Pearly white grin
Cleanse me of my sins
Wanna be devoted
Don't wanna be demoted
Trying to be small
Sneak into your heaven

I am your peasant
In my heart is resistance
Can only admire from a distance
I your knight in shining armor
I will defend your honor
I your dancing jester
Your heart will never fester
You are my kingdom

Your soft voice
Lifts my heavy heart
Your sweet face
Hinders my sour days
Three words I say
Are not just a phrase

In the quiet
Deafened by laughter
Blinded by beauty
The goosebumps that give way
I'll feel like braille and read you

I pull up your number
Lucky digits
If I hit it
Will I strike out
Pressing send
Its a gamble
I'm in shambles
Come on baby
Let me win the lotto

Gently, softly, strong, powerful
giving life to the immovable.
As a puppet with an invisible puppeteer
moving graceful arms, suspended in air.
Running through its leafy green fingers
shaking its sleepy limbs, bending, twisting.
Rippling like a pianists hands over dormant keys
gone as quickly as it appeared.

Cutie pie
Coolin on the window sill
Hunger please stay still

You knew all the shortcuts
I know all the routes too
It wasn’t a careless mistake
Played dumb
Missed every turn
Took the long way back
Only to spend more time with you

Look the other way
Eyes to the floor
If silence is golden
Your tongue has the Midas touch

Stupefied
Enchanted
Lips pressed
Casting spells
Tongues intwined
Pouring potions
Leave me hexed
Be my jinx

I am a tame boy
Make me a wild man
Gave up cruelty as meals
I want your flesh
Let no inch of you go to waste
I want to devour you
Melt on my tongue
I need your taste

Put an end
To what I don’t comprehend
All I’ve been is
A son
A brother
A friend
I don’t know nothing else

How do you keep living
When you've met angels
But were denied heaven
I wanna sink to low depths
Still I keep praying
When I feel so bad
Continue trying to be worthy
Can these conflicts that fill me
Be the making of a good man?

graduation, set them free
to discover who they'll
one day be
caps with tassels of red
or white, smiles that
shimmer and radiate bright
rings with names, years and gems
rest on the fingers of those in
columns of two
glossy diplomas embossed
with pride, words of achievement
heads held high
cards of congratulations from
friends and family, words of
encouragement written down
snap a shot with him then with her
in a few years this day will become
a happy blur
beaming parents whistle and roar
signs and homemade banners
rooting for #50, 7, 69 and 44
hugs, kisses, a final cheer
soon will be remembered
in yesteryear
graduation, set them free
to discover who they'll
one day be

Thought I knew heartbreak
Thought I knew loss
Everything I knew
Became new
After meeting you

First kiss
New bliss
I never knew thirst
Till we disengaged
Till we reconnect
My lips are the Mojave in summer

1 hour a day
5 days a week
It's all I had
It's all I needed
It's all it took
For me to fall in love
(with you)

If your delicate hand ever returns to mine
Where comfort and softness was found
Don't be alarmed
Touch won't be familiar
Palms became disfigured
They've grown calloused
From carrying the weight you left

I'll be mute
Won't say them no more
Sweet words that spill from my mouth
Are rotting my teeth

I like the way
Gravity falls on you
Sway away pull me in
The way your atoms hold
My knees buckle and fold
Your laugh’s frequency in tune
Brings my heart to bloom
The brightness of your smile
Shadows my doom
Stop and stare for a while
I’ll be empty of gloom

Is it desperation
Is it realization
Is it weakness
That brings me here
Can it be my initials
To settle in the concrete
Can I get away
Before it cements

These are ugly times
The world is cruel
It's a daily duel
Despite the grime
Beauty exists
With every breathe you take
You prove it every day
