*THE PATH*

Beneath me the path descends

darkness acompanies me and light is but a shadow

Above me the sky,

clouds creating scenes;

a centaur's arrows fly...

many are slain

The path still dark I move on

...but the pain,

the shame,

they cling to me like unexcersized demons

holding me hostage in the realm of my subconscious...

Is there another path???

*CHAOS*

Reason without order,

Peace a forgotten whisper.

Ronin's rule supreme

No master to serve,

No union or comrades

Detritus filled streets,

Where Melancholic souls haunt

Where once there stood statues,

Now there are craters

Fires burning sporadically,

Like firebugs on august nights

Shadows everywhere, people nowhere

Projectiles pierce the terse silence,

Coveted rooftops are the god spots.

by jerryc


*I SIT*

I sit,

the chaos slowly dissipates

and my thoughts are serene.

God embraces me,

assuages my unrest.

The thoughts will return

before another moon's time

but tonite I sit

and nothing can touch me.

*MODERN MELONCOLY*

The night sleeps when dawn arrives

and I crouch anxiously

with that fateful reality,

nocturnal orphan,

casualty of love. I surrender to the moon,

submissive and slippery.

Silence...

My faith,

each day,

slowly reaching insanity,

while I wait in the shadows.

Seeds of loneliness

aspiring to create kingdoms.

Archaic love,

without time or horizon.

Even in my depths

I look for you, From the silence of these impure sheets,

without light or perspective.

My love,

why do you sleep?

Legions of stars persue me,

mystery of the unattainable.

To Love...

Love,

love discovered in a poem,

my love that dreams,

like I have never dreamed,

like you have yet to dream.

Modern Meloncoly.

***My hip-hop***

*LYRICAL UPLOAD*

LET ME INTERJECT,

WITH MY SYNTAX

PUT YA INNA NUTHA' FRAME OF MINDSET

I'LL BET

YA WON'T REJECT

GO GLOBAL LIKE ON THE INTERNET

BUT IN RETROSPECT,

THOUGHTS TAKE OFF LIKE SUPERSONIC JETS

OR ARE YA BOUND

TO THE GROUND

NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SPEED OF SOUND

LIKE SO MANY ADJECTIVES,

VERBS AND NOUNS.

I WRITE MY LYRICS

TO BOOST THE SPIRIT

SO CHICS AND KATS

LIKE YOU CAN HEAR IT

SPREADING LIKE A VIRUS

UPLOAD IN YOUR SHIT

LIKE IN THAT FLICK

THE MATRIX.

I THINK IT'S TIME

TO LIVE BENIGN

I RESIGN

FROM THAT THUG LIFE OF CRIME.

IT'S NOT SUBLIMINAL

OR MINIMAL

OR EVEN HIGHLY CYNICAL

LIKE FREUD-I'M ANALYTICAL

CAUSE LIFE AND DEATH IS CRITICAL.

BY JERRYC


*THE PRISON IN ME*

I'M CRAZY LIKE A FOX,

I PLOT TO SQUEEZE SHOTS

FROM MY GLIZ-OCK

FROM THE HOOD OF HARD KNOX

RESISTANT TO SHOCK

CARRIED SHIT EVEN IN MY SOCKS

FROM JERSEY TO NEW YORK

HUNG OUT WIT ALL SORTS

DID DIRT WIT CONSORTS

GOT BLESSED IN NEW YORK SUPREME COURT...

WHILE ON THE ISLAND

NIGGAS WASN'T SMILIN'

CAUSE I WAS IN THAT MOTHER FUCKER WILDIN'!

IN DESTRUCTIVE MODE,

STAYED OUT OF MY PATH

SPARK MY ANGER,

FEEL MY WRATH

SHIT,YOU DO THE MATH...

WRITIN' SCRIBES TILL MY FINGERS WORE SORE

STRESSIN WHILE I WAITED FOR MAIL CALL

THRU MY CELL DOOR

FROM C-94

GOT SENT UP NORTH

WITH POLICE ESCORTS

-HAD NO REMORSE

CAUSE I WAS TIGHT WIT OUT A FUCKEN NEWPORT...

ONCE THERE

I WAS VIGILANTE AND AWARE

BUT MY THOUGHTS WERE STILL OUT THERE,

HAD THIS FUCKEN CROSS TO BARE...

C-CYPHERS AT RIKERS

WERE HOOD RATS IN DISGUISES

BUT IN COMSTOCK

THE YACU WERE STRAIGHT UP CLAN SYMPATHIZERS...

GOT BEATDOWNS AND LOCKDOWNS

WROTE LONG SCRIBES WITH DEEP FROWNS,

TURNED WANNA BE THUGS TO SLUGS

I EVEN WIRED A FEW MUGS...

NIGGA NEEDED A HUG,

BUT GOT SHRUGS

SO I BUGGED

AND IN THE LONG RUN

IT WAS MY OWN GRAVE THAT I DUG.

*THE GIFT *

Romance,

is the manifestation of love

and the embodiment of adoration.

Forces of nature attract

two creatures of GOD together,

under the magnificence and splendor

of the heaven and the stars.

The Sun,

in all it's fiery glory,

warms the earth and brings light to it,

and love is like the Sun,

emblazoning the hearts,

and relinquishing souls.

Souls lost,

wandering like nomads

on the impoverished earth,

searching but not finding,

finding but not searching,

oblivious to serenity,

that awaits the distraught.

Alast, epiphany that is love,

love that is found,

love that is felt,

that GOD has gifted,

between man and woman.
