[FEATURED on @WattpadPoetry 's "Positive Vibrations" Reading List]-1/10/2020 [FEATURED on @IAmStrong- 's "And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day" Reading List]-1/01/2020 Live Performance Poems. Each piece reveals bits of my story. This is an attempt to reach out to people who have gone through similar experiences. I am putting my story out there to show you that you are not alone. With each performance, I will post the lyrics and a small discussion. In the heart of Norfolk, VA, off of 35th Street, there lies a place of healing, a place of love, pain, passion, and compassion. "All are welcome who come in peace."-JM SECOND PLACE WINNER in The Splash Poetry Awards hosted by @TheMonthlyAwards

In the far flung future the world is ever changing. While the normal people of the world fight everyday to make ends meet, working 16 hour days just to get their daily bread, while store owners have to sell things at ludicrous prices to pay for rent, while your average joe needs to turn to crime just to live another day, the fat cats of the world sit back and enjoy a nice dinner. So who will we talk about today? The down trodden, the criminals, or maybe even the misunderstood rich? None of them! Today we settle down with two mercenaries, Red Eye and Night Witch, who operate out of the corpcity of LA (I know right, never thought this place would be relevant in the future either). Together they'll quite literally fight to make ends meet, and show you, the dear reader, just how gruesome the mercenary life can get! Hunted by a villain from their past, one who changed them, and ruined their lives forever making scars that will never heal, these two Mercs will need to play it smart, else risk death on the wheel of life. How will they balance almost dying for money everyday and almost dying because of their enemies? Through cunning, charisma, and A LOT of lead Will our two heroes: Red Eye the charming man with loads of knives, and Night Witch the cold blooded sniper who hates people, survive this test of will and strength? Or will the Red Eye bleed?

Here's a collection of some of the poems I have written please enjoy

our gazes clash like blades ricocheting off of each other glancing off of each other each time i catch your eye and yours are trained on me i feel a jolt like fire shiver and flicker over my skin my lady, my love, oh, were i to bite the sweet spot where your neck meets the line of your shoulder to be with you is my greatest daydream and my most vicious fantasy

"I'm thinking about so many things and I can't get any of these thoughts straight. These poetries are the stars I can't fathom into constellations."

In the kingdom of Arcanum, where magic and technology meet, where the bloodied hand of tyrants has the city in a vice grip, every commoner's life is as meaningless as the next, yet somehow people still carve a legacy for themselves. But when these people present too much of a threat to the throne they end up missing, their family is mailed a rose, bleeding from its bulb with the blood of the dead relative

A collection of the short stories I've written over the course of my life. Some of this will be drab I wrote in elementary school since I have yet to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak. Please do enjoy

Thoughts are strung together in the depths of our conscience, ravelled together in a mess like spaghetti thrown against a wall. In this poetry book I pick out the strands of my thoughts and reveal them to you, untangling them piece by piece as I go.
