soul-ittude

when i write there's a peace within that comes forth, hard to describe exactly, it feels soft yet groomed, caring yet strong, thought filled incite, tangently directional, astray then found, challenged heights attained, a connection of thought to pen to paper. Often flowed only when the time is such.........

A Nuptial Blessing!

May the good Lord bless you with happiness and grace.
Together as one, with a new and glorious life to face.
Friends we've been, for such a long time.
I wish you the most sacred life sublime.
If your journey through life may run amiss
Remember the vows you sealed with a kiss.
To each other always be truthful, honest, and kind.
And your love and friendship will never unwind.
Thank each other daily for each moment you share.
I promise, if done, no burnden will be too much to bear.
Always be patient and try to understand.
It's a big part of loving and that little gold band.
And on this day, as God wishes to see
These things I know because he brought faith to me.

the path

this is the letter that he wrote in a time of misery with nothing to look forward to only thing that meant was making the money a solid tear fallen from his face no one to keep him away he was growing and learning fast proffesional singing bitter drinking only question asked would he make it passed the challenge traveling the valleys no love just a companion music never dies comes back with greater light that lonely night breeze cool as a block of ice my pen out of ink so into the next town i ride started working at a club open mic night on friday im the host the club became my life music in the basement as if i never embraced it money and respect was my new goal this is when everything started to fall i fail to see the signs from god because im always drunk became some kind of icon thought i would live to be old little did i know my life would be cut short on a friday at the club tragedy found me someone in the club yelled its my time now thats when i fell my chest burning from the bullet no one to help me through this the evil that men do my message was to strong it even made you cry but it was to good to be around for ever my destiny the grave but my spirit will remain.

the girl had enough

Isolation a new best friend
dangled in the dark, quiet a situation
she is in
the girl in the mirror who is she
the image is gone how could that be
a long dimming hallway no other way out
you ask yourself what is this supose to
be about
skin feels like paper it could tare with
the slightest of movement
the walls are dissolving fluids begin to
drip, everything could use an improvement
deep down there an awareness that the problem
is not external something is just broken deep
down inside
weathered drapes flew wickedly the girl she screamed
and cried
people just as animals we choose our prey
keep our enemies closer right, won't you come out and play
the town almost a ghost town they feed on those they
pick
lies are like candy sweet to their lips hurt people like
humor just a warm little trick
she took it for so many years walked the other way
what is the worse they could do or say
in the hallway or at home
always felt so all alone
carried it like a shell on her back
soon she began to crack
that day came where she found herself pulling out a gun
finally feeling like she had won
to have them begging for their life
something didn't seem so right
why do they do this push people so far
she fired some rounds in the air then jumped in her car
as she fought to regain control she screamed to the sky
she spoke only briefly wanted to know why
why did she have to grow up here
it being this way everywhere was her greatest fear
that girl went away and never looked behind
I supose she knew exactly what she would find

A Lost Friend

I sit back and sip this on this champagne
Wondering why my friend Dwayne
Could not restrain
Shooting that cane into his veins
I use to ask him to explain
What was meant to be gained
The only answer I received was the fast lane
We fought everyday because I was trying to change his brain
From being addicted to this new kind of acid rain
But he could not drain
The demon of the oil stain
Because he was addicted to more then one thing
Now me and his family feel nothing but pain
No longer with us we have to maintain
Even though he broke our closed chain
Life moves on and I still feel the pain

An Angel On Earth - The Decision (Part 2)

As she pondered her time on Earth
She wondered why God set upon her this curse
To show her the suffering of the human race
She decided to go back to that filthy place
This time she would have some important things
Her brilliant white robe and feathered white wings
She would appear to the people in an aura of gold
The nature of the visit noone needs to be told
She will promise people only the truth
Her saint-like presence should be enough proof
And talk of being a child of The Lord
And that each and every person is adored
The angel would talk of her sacred home
Where angels stand together and are never alone
If they turn their back without even a glance
They are not lost, it's not their last chance
God does not hate, it is not his way
Do not worry, even if you have been led astray
Now, the time has finally come
So little time, so much to be done
She would start with His work one bit at a time
She would go to the people, she would give them a sign
The sign would be of harmony and love
Sent straight down from Heaven above
She had been put in a troublesome position
Optimistic as ever, the angel embarked on her mission

find a way to set us free...just be!

A part of me went missing, out to sea
when I lost you
A cross that I bare not alone just a shadow
of myself as I bathe in the pain of continous
mourning floating through
I never really understood the seldomly found purity
of what we had
Always we will share a love, a love for each other
and the life our love created and I know I should
be grateful and not sad
Suddenly it was as if something bigger than the two
of us just slammed the door
I didn't have control of anything anymore
What if it is all a game
and the good and the bad are judged as the same
Maybe just maybe I am all to blame
or could it just be that I've gone insaine
All the crazy things twisting inside my mind
answers and solutions that I can't seem to find
How do I get so tangled up all the time?
I know what I have to do
I have to find my place for you
almost as difficult as the day you died
gallons upon gallon of tears have been cried
a pool of tears which I am drowning in
yet missing someone is not a sin
with so many warm memories
'we' will always be
So I am learning to survive
smile and be happy be glad to be alive
My daughter needs me to be be the mommy she
deserves when she looks at me with her eye's
so blue and her daddys face a happy proud mommy looking
back at her is what I want her to see
together we dream of being with him again
being family of not two but three
We know we are dreaming and that is what dreams are for
In reality these girls are no longer drowning in sorrow
yet instead flying free
free from broken hearts and broken people and a past
that reminds
open to each new day to see what that day finds.~

jsm forever.

About this poem:
I think the poem explains it's self. I try to write about other topics yet my writing is my therapy it goes where it goes it's more in control than I. I am really proud of this piece it's very raw. It's been difficult for me to put to words what I feel and have it come out making any kind of sense, this piece I felt did that better than the last two. I am hoping I will go in a different place many diverse places next we'll see what my heart says. Thank you for reading it and giving my writing your time I hope it made you "feel" I enjoy a piece of poetry that makes me feel. Thank you and good day.

Get back on that horse

Getting dumped
Is that why it's called that?
Because it hurts
Knocks the wind from our lungs
Breaks our heart?

Because we know we have to
Get back on that horse
To try again
Take that risk
Humble ourselves and repair bruised
Egos

Try not to shy away from the possibilities
Of a good thing
A sweet thing
That sets our veins on fire
That make our hearts race and
Heads dizzy
A wild ride
A dangerous ride, bearing our bodies
And our souls to another

But to remain stunned on the earth
Looking up at that horse
To fear the next fall if it is not to
Fall for somebody...
Who falls for us
I won't
I am climbing back on

the taliban who are they

in the mountains of afganistan
they hide faces coverd they are hidden
like cowards they hide
shooting their pointed guns

in directions no one knows they are there
all around unseen but heard
in holes they have dug shooting snipping firing there guns
killing bang bang are brave soldiers are dying
there bodies lying all around

they are killing for reasons unknown hiding firing there postions unkown
cowards they are mixing chatting with there own people they are,
who are these people killing inocents ,thats what they are murders of inosent soldiers

are brave soldiers dying what for
are numbers of dead climbing coming home in coffins what for
who are these murders many not few hiding firing what can we do
