gap
jas May 2019
gap
the heart has me wretched
drinking every day
is not the best method

but out of nowhere,
I found a piece I was missing
how could I detect
he was never distant

fulfilling my gap
between my soul and heart
has been a surprise
a work of art

the end is the beginning
so cliche
I know

yet, my heart leads my soul to believe
you could be the one for me
if I just let it happen

or vice versa...

really don't want to type
words onto this screen
when I could be making them real
if only you agree with me
then we could have
a playful cross over with words

crazy how I feel indestructible
or untouchable
my soul attracts
what it craves
no less than another soul

one that matches equal energy
what is given, shall be received
if another experience is what the signs sent to me

sober or not
jas May 2019
there is a problem that I keep facing
you see, usually, I get drunk and seem to forget the reason why
but here I am sober
and I still remember
the reason I wanted to drink
to stop thinking
I can't help myself
so pretty sure i've gone insane

I know, I know all my poems are so relatable
you can tell this writing is me

but no, this feeling is different
i've liked people before
so no big deal

but this one,.


my breath is taken away
my heart stops a beat
this is a whole movie waiting to happen

to get into a car
is such a valuable suggestion
to go places
you've never suggested
to predict the future
of the path less taken
or rather known
in signs of an injunction


to reach a car
a moving vehicle, that is
to not experience the case of lethal injection
although not taken my body
nor forced
this type is called anxiety


this type is called
I wish you could see
personally struggling
what you caused in me.
to be never encountered, by you.

I'm ashamed that there is a power you hold over me
and within a few hundred miles
within a distance of no reciprocation

you have that power
the power I should not digest

stringing along with my mind
slowly waiting for it to die
not a horrible death but you along with it

you see, I'm terrified
of reaching the road
any of which are paved out
nor drunk or sober me
can handle this disease

unspoken for now...
although one day

I'll be free.
free from you
free from the road

not a poem..
jas May 2019
lately,
i've thought about my anxiety
how it rised to be
never before a few years had happened
before I went through a traumatic experience
no, explanation

yet, it still haunts me to this day
do you remember?
I bet you don't

you see these are my struggles
in my day to day activities

as much as I tried to ignore that part of my life
I can not.
not for the life of me.

years passed and here I am struggling with a form of PTSD..

this is not a poem
but in order for me to write
I must write about my struggles
what's keeping me from achieving certain goals
I cannot continue to live this way
although, every single face
reminds me of that one brief moment

I can't escape

I wish this was only a poem and not real life
I don't know how much more I can take
this kills me
slowly

even if you read this
I know you would never understand


experiencing this is not the same
as when we parted ways
this is not a poem

it's not...
struggling with car anxiety... if you will.

crush

butterflies in my stomach
or is it just nerves
I feel all too much
to feel such a bug
with wings that could soar
I could never

a few moments being in your presence
cause me to overthink every situation
hundreds down the road of my brain
catch a breathe just to keep from going insane

these emotions are dangerous
never would I recommended
it's unraveling thinking about you


do you feel the same?
is this all a misconstrue?
a dream? or living humility

a symbol of butterflies creeps into my soul
don't understand if this is good or bad
time will tell
half glass or full

or maybe the glass is crushed..
having a crush. idk.

giving in

spreading myself thin
giving away pieces of me
feels too late to quit
but I can hardly breathe

deep inside
it's antagonizing

I know
I keep doing this **** to myself
can blame no one else
for my faults

I keep on giving
more than what's deserved
an impulsive decision
putting other people first

soulmates
jas May 2019
you are the most beautiful person i've ever accepted into my life
my heart tingles sending electrifying waves straight through my veins
drawing ever sense of mine to
your soul

the power of connection that brings two spiritual beings to collide into one is indefinite
your aura annexes the neurons traveling throughout my body

this path appeared without my knowledge of intertwining fate
in where I'd never encounter a most perfect individual
one full of the universe multiplied by years of worth

till the end of time and back, for there is no death of a soul
if I could just freeze this ripple in time where our bodies encounter
with a warm intoxicating embrace
so exhilarating,

in this life that exists today,
I'm delighted to have accompanied your presence
an aesthetically pleasing inner being

one that encourages me to have a better perception of existing
to live life vicariously with a passion

a mentor
beloved friend
one who reads my soul like an open book


you are my soul and I am your mate.
influential in every way
the words that you say
leave me crazy
but in a good way
I swear

i've been putting my actions into words
I cannot compare to observe
so if you, you know

if life went right for just a minute
a minute that lasts a lifetime
before you could take your next breathe
it all flashes in the blink of an eye
fast forward to yesterday
and the moments that once were
a breath of fresh air
and the smell of your hair
I miss you if only for just a minute
if only a minute could last a lifetime
I'd hear your laugh again
see your smile on your face
my eyes always were drawn to your warm embrace

life is anything but a journey of lessons
that you've taught me
to now carry as a blessing
guiding me as a light through the darkness

if only for a breathe

two hundred and seventy-three days of being a shelter to the outside world
9 months later out comes your baby girl
the look on your face is anything but surreal
dreaded by society and drenched in tears

eighteen years later
she's all grown
into a fine individual
that you yourself have molded and sewn
together.

guidance and wellness
into a human being
nurture and tenderness
the future is far from foreseeing

another six years
a full-fledged adult
living amongst the youth
the elderly and the kind
everything that is you

no longer a child yet a child to you
forever and always, a love so true

a mother you'll be,
a shelter succumbed to the outside

thank you for being a home from the start
never apart whether in spirit or heart
                                   love, your daughter.

what I keep, deep inside of me

If I open my eyes
I'd see a loving heart
I'd see the world as it is
and still, believe in love

in miracles
in the way life goes
on and on

and it's hard
hard to want to dream
hard to believe
in you and me

but you gave me everything
how could I not repay
when you were the only one to ever save me

that's how I knew

finding a soulmate
jas Aug 2018
love is not what love is or what love used to be
love grows. and love grew inside of me for the very first time.
true love that is, love that i thought would never exist except in movies or my favorite romance novels.
imagine falling in love with your best friend, unknowingly.
days pass you by and the sun shines on a sun-kissed face,
embracing all of life beauties. without knowing you fell for love of everything.
love of life, the trees, the universe, people and those who inhabit your life.
every small thing became big, within reach was possibility.
for new chances, changes, and that's when it hit you.
HARD.
like a brick, like bricks, like the titanic came and sunk on your heart , on your whole body even
in the most angelic way, your heart was full of life, of peace, unity of the most purest form of love.
seeing their face for the first time after that was mesmerizing.
tiny butterflies filled your stomach, any chance to talk to , to be in their presence, fighting the urge to jump into a full of *** rage.
blood running warm between your veins , melting away deep inside your body.
if only they could notice you...
until the end, is where this story gets better.
perhaps , a fairy tale ending is in store for you, or perhaps the best is saved for last.
perhaps, a few exchanged glances, a small grin at your jokes, a simple brush against the arm, leaves an open discussion of flirtation.
fluttering of the hearts , engaging in more than a friendship, but an assurance.
completely lost from the start, we somehow found ourselves tangled deep into the web of mystery.
so,
when we reach the end, remember it is also the beginning of a love so true,
reciprocating feelings deep inside, where both parties can know longer hide it.
to fight the urge to not love, is torture in the deepest form.
love is what love was, and love grows into something more.
love grew into my soulmate.

                                             with love,
                                                        a soul.
Grammer is not important , unless it is. don't bother.

we all coexist within another.
father time, granting us a constant movement of life
a cloaked, bearded man with the power of an hourglass.
an endless cycle of highs and lows effecting the world
as above so below.
alas, without love, the earth would turn to dust
drawn together, since the beginning of eternity
father time founded mother earth.
intertwined out of chaos, a nurturer was born.
to create out of love,
trees alongside the sea
time never catching up to the speed of light
equality of the unknown, transpiring its purpose to live
granted, the universe aligns in peace
nirvana at its peak
solely, as an individiual
we seek the hidden purpose
