JMH Poems

I love when a song can take your breath away. Like literally feeling breath being taken away from your lungs and just holding your breath for the rest of the song because the beat, melody and lyrics are so damn captivating. If I made playlist of breath taking songs I’d be passed out bliss on the floor.   

I talk a lot

I say my opinion but never express the inner emotion

I tell stories but never speak about my dreams

I walk guarded 

“Protected” behind the insecurity and chance of embarrassment

But then there’s a need

That grows everyday

And it gets stronger

The need to share

The need to relate

The need to express

My dreams

My emotions

So I write poetry

To speak for me

To walk with my heart and soul on it’s sleeves 

To be witty

To be real

To be me

The beautiful love hungry me

Casie,

She's like both the sun and the moon She's like the sun Bright and caring her smile lights up the room and leads people in the right direction 

Yet she's like the moon Consistant and wise always being light in people's darkest hour and has a hidden depth with her you might see at first 

”Is this enough?"

"Is what enough?"

"My heart. Is it enough for you?"He looked so confused yet so adorable but that's the love talking.

"Is this enough? My heart. Is it enough for you?" Silence took over and he just stared. So i continued "I know the life I choose to live is different from yours but i want this to work. I want us to work. My heart is what i can give, its what I’m willing to give you. Who I am, my soul is I want you to get to know. My mind wants intelligent and stupid conversation with you. My heart, soul and mind is what I’m offering you and have offered it to the others before you who wanted the same thing as you do now, relationship. But my body, that is for one, the one. The one who will get down on one knee and ask for my hand in marriage. The one who will put a ring on my finger and commit his life to me in front of all those we love. The one who will stay through the good, the bad and the ugly. The one who will say and promise these things but actually follow through. Then he'll get to have me completely mind, body, heart and soul. Have a claim on in a way no one else will ever have. And he'll honor that. And I will be honored to give that only to him. So is this enough?" He exhaled a breath.

"Yes. Its more than enough and when I get down on one knee, ask for your hand in marriage which of course you'll say yes and marry you in front of everyone we love and the others we tolerate i will love, cherish and honor all of you. Mind, body, heart and soul for the rest of my life" I smiled. Blissfully speechless not expecting that at all. Then he spoke again "But until then i plan on keeping that heart of yours with me and happy with our intelligent and stupid conversations getting to know you down to your soul. Our forever starts today."                                                                                                                   -JMH

It’s the hidden things that are the most beautiful

The flaws

The scars

The hurts

The pains

The desires

And the dreams

Deep within the soul

It’s something worth searching for

The gold from within you

The gold from within them

It’s real

It’s genuine

Nothing fake about it

Look for,

Search for,

And find the hidden things 

Then you’ll see you

Then you’ll see them like never before

As an undiscovered piece of art meant to be admired, protected, adored and given time to be understood.

Then comes true love and genuine relationship

My head is so far up in the clouds that I can see cloud nine from here

And Oh, how it looks wonderful

I don’t fit in

Like I can’t fit in

But that’s okay

Because I don’t wan to

You came like you owned my town but you and i both knew you’re from Arizona. The start of summer, you, being the new kid, me, being the loner. Me, by choice, you, without one. But you were fast, somehow everyone heard through some grape vine about the new tall, tan, pacific ocean blue eyed boy from Yuma, Arizona. But I wasn't impressed by you. You were what 6'2, basketball players are taller than that. Tan more bronze from the hot Arizona sun. Pacific ocean I'd say more like tropics you had this hint of green in them that made me curious about you. Ok. I was a little impressed. Us once strangers now neighbors but still strangers. Tonight being the "End of the school year" bonfire I knew it was going to be a good night, but also something inside me told me it was going to be an unforgettable one.(skip to the bonfire) cheers As the crowd threw their papers the flames arose and so did our voices done with yet another of hell also known as school. Standing among the crowd i was mesmerized by the flames but i felt something staring at me so i looked straight head of me. It was you ,the new kid, mesmerized by me. So i stayed 

You know what I want? I just want

understanding hearts

compatible souls

& relatable minds

I want people to see my creations and gain hope and not hide the little faith they have left in this world

I just want to make people feel something, anything

I don’t want people to feel alone. I want people to feel understood and relate to my work. To feel compatible because I feel what they do, I want what they want and I dream just like they do. 

That’s what I want 

understanding hearts

compatible souls 

& relatable minds
