CRIMES IN DISGUISE by JRC

Beat, beat, beat at the drum. 
Concrete, feet on the run.
My rage is confined. 
This cage, silver-lined.
Enigmas of paradise. 
Stigmas of sacrifice.
This binding's what ties. 
These crimes in disguise.
I won't wipe your tears. 
When you feed me lies.
Through all of your fears. 
Remember, time flies.

JRC AUDIOPHILE PROFILE

FLASH MOB by JRC

You must join them, or they will join you

You speak of it, and it speaks the truth

Mechanical pulses, obsessive impulses

No one asks , and no one tells

All who scream are all who yell

Camo, machine guns, and casual reruns

Traced around, you in chalk

Some will run, but some will walk

Smoke in your step and flames in your breath

Lifted up in ashes

Your motive never crashes

Up above the embers

Only you remember

The golden years

The chosen years

So wasted and frozen

Those years

Remember?

FISHING FOR THOUGHTS by JRC

There was a day,

A time, a place

A decision,

I’d take back what I said.

The fork’s in the road

A stallion of gold

With wings

It ascended

Into the whirling of the clouds

“you never told me the reason”

You just gave me a cause

And even though it was bleak

You gave me a purpose

And destroyed my fear

Oh, how it conquered me

But now it’s a faded line

It fled itself out of my mind

From a clue. a hint

A silent grin

I took on a challenge

My trophy was peace

Filled with gallons

Piece, by piece, by piece

A caught the catch

And threw it right back

And all of this chaos

Just fell through the cracks

WHO YOU ARE by JRC

How could you…

Remember me like agony

The nails are through the boards

Remember me like infamy

The mob consists of hoards

Why would you…

Perceive me as a blind man

The walls will still have ears

Perceive me as a kind man

But feeding on your tears

And will you…

Climb up and ever higher

Just to heal a scar

Through the filth and desire

You wonder who you are

How could you?

Why would you?

And will you?

Wonder who you are.

TRACES BY JRC

When do the pieces align?

A sudden peak of shallow haze

Has dawned above the swollen eyes

How long? Must we number the days?

Amidst our blood, some are impure

Camouflaged within the blur

Another broken hourglass

Another mishap to occur

A drought of echoes

Marks the sky, a streak of cries

A lock of stone

TORCHES OF TRIUMPH BY JRC

Wait

Remember me

Don’t hate

It’s not too late

To descend upon my arms

Face first into my heart

Unpredictable by far

You are more than you are

Have no fear

There’s no end here

Wander closer

Is this the most or

Am I deceived

Wonder farther

Reaching harder

Because you believe

Enjoy the view

When you are fading

Fates never true

If you’re just waiting

For a better grasp

It never fails

Amend the past

Destiny sails

Ten times the pace

When you’re soaring

Don’t lose this race

Of adoring

And conquering life

It’s all up to you

You hold the light.

BYE POLAR SHIFT BY JRC

Hey,

do you ever feel ashamed?

Afraid of letting aggression loose

and taking all the blame.

When?

Does the agony ever end?

When should I say goodbye?

These thoughts are now endless.

These feelings, so unsure.

Where do we draw the line?

Is this gonna show me why?

I should say goodbye.

If there’s one way out of this,

should I say goodbye.

But there’s  no way out of this,

so I’ll say goodbye.

FOR YOUR THOUGHTS BY JRC

How can you look into my eyes, 

and see the pain that broke our lives, 

how can you feel the ropes and chains, 

that that keep me not alone, 

look into windows through my mind, 

yet you never understand, 

elope to mountains in my soul, 

and behold none but the grand, 

wade into my, 

oceans of mist, 

wondering why, 

everything hits 

the floor, 

can I get another day, 

can I feel another season, 

can you see things my way, 

can you see into my reason, 

hello, 

can you spare a dime, 

can you spare piece of mind, 

so long, 

is it the final time, 

and is it such a crime, 

to feed them…  

FOREVER INFINITE by JRC

I’m not so fucking perfect

Mediocre at best

I only care about her

Don’t care about the rest

I’ll swim in seas of rage

I’ve slept in fields of sorrow

Let outside of my cage

Live only for tomorrow

And in these barren roads

I learn integrity

Although I am alone

I know who sets me free

And she is beside me

We dance to symphonies

The only air we breathe  

The one epiphany

Forever. Infinite. 

DOG IN THE YARD via (PHOTOSHOP) by JRC

GLADIATORS by JRC

don't ever think you're the best
until you've climbed a mountain
don't even waste my time
until you've drunk from my fountain
my rhythm, my rhyme
my legend, my crime
innocent as the moon is bold
magnificent as the sea is cold
you cry, you beg
you may even scream
the words pour out of your mouth
like steamy fog
it lingers, it loiters
for corrupted exploiters
tears weep and they crash
out poison and trash
and you have the nerve
to just push me away
through the black and the white
thick and thin shades of gray
you might hear my words
you teach what i preach
but just remember
my voice may be tender
and yours will subside
i'm your last contender

HARMONY by JRC

There was nothing left to say

There was no one to be heard

There's auroras all around me

There were seven flocks of birds

The sky was navy blue

The horizon kept its hue

There was sparkle in our eyes

And this moment we could see

That our love is true and pure

Something we can all agree

WISHES by JRC

It’s about time I need a rescue, it wasn't till today that I would risk you, you could be my pilot, you could be my north star, whatever you do, be the way you are, please don’t change girl, cause you’re great girl, you lift me up into the clouds, way up above all the sound, peaceful, quiet, without all the sirens, and the blaring lights, I remember the time I was your armored knight, we were both alright, and we both had our sights, on the same grand prize, it was me, it was you, looking in each other’s eyes, all I have to say is that it was so romantic, and I could tell you this, it was anything but frantic, we even danced like there was no tomorrow, we even lifted ourselves up above the sorrow, the time was golden the seconds silver lined, all the good times were here, and this love was on our mind, it told us were to go and told us who to be, and all I ever know, we’d go down in history…

AMBIANCE by JRC

Triumphant hands

Evaluate this stone

Chisel and hammer

Carve into bone

A skull, a scar

A scare, a seed

Of hopeful rays

And harmony

The fog of dawn

Is cleared and gone

Assembling the pieces

I built the foundation

Eased into thoughts

A joy of sensation

The wind carves the clouds

Above and around me

This ocean of filth

Is ceasing to drown me

I stand on a mountain

To reach for a star

And each one I find

Gets rid of a scar

WITNESS by JRC

With the filth in his breath

And smoke in his step

Keeling before him

They fall to the floor

It was cold when he talked

People vanished when he walked

Fire chased him

Flames embraced him

Every building brought to ashes

In a moment when he passes

Let him suffocate your words

As your sight begins to blur

The clocks around you fail to move

And the silence numbs your mood

Thickened fog corrupts your feet

Swollen veins engulf with heat

Restless gears entwine and spin

And then you see his ghastly grin

Emanating from the mist

The last thing that you’ll witness

LOSE YOURSELF IN BLOOD (EMINEM PARODY)

my palms are sweaty, so weak, this body is heavy

there’s blood on my sweater already, I look like freddy

I’m sure this life was too worthless, nothing on my machete

It’s perfect that I’m never forgetting

What happens now, I’m still not too proud

They open their mouth, just too be harassed and fouled,

They’re choking now, everybody’s choking now

Their time’s run out, time to fucking go

Oh, there goes a crowd, I shoot and they go down

I won’t give up that easy, though

Chained to this malice, I know my whole back’s to these ropes

It doesn’t matter, I hope

It was the mold that I broke

He’s so malignant he knows

When he goes back to his mobile home

That’s when it’s back to the thoughts again, yo

This hole swallows me

Guilty Conscience (rap) by JRC

My nose is running south, I hear the baying hounds, I spit these words out, like I’m eating sour krout. It’s not so bad when my ankle twists. I think I’ll get the hang of it. I’m not one to brag but, I need to pick the slack up, this ground will just crack up, so why don’t you just back up. Still I can’t put up with the nonsense, I seem to thank my guilty conscience. I’m not a cold blooded killer. I’m a bold-gutted thriller. Now wait for the filler and here’s the throat spiller. I can’t seem to hinder any thoughts I can render so I might as well be a sender of the word, not a lender of the word, you’re a spender of the bird and by that I mean finger, the middle-most finger, so put it right away before I take it right away. And off it goes from your hand and I guess you’re less a man, so you got another brilliant plan, stuttering Stan?  

ARIAL VIEW by JRC

I’m only a reason, twice shy of a purpose

Traveling away, astray of the circus

The sleep of the stars brings up my courage

To be a serration in this human scar

I’m just a future, a dream of ambition

Unknown to the game, immune to the friction

Rough to the touch but nice as a vision

Who took a grain and made it a star

A Melancholy Corpse by JRC

What lies are told,

does it behold,

what’s in the cold,

do you withhold,

answers in meanings between the lines,

the cancer  

the feeling is harder to find,

desolation,

 my bones break

only when my blood leaks

down my pale face

I’m a new kind of freak,

monster,

zombie

whatcha gonna call me,

it’s all the same when it’s melancholy,

isolation,

I defy the faded line,

when my life is on the edge,

massacring all the time,

what advice do I have to lend,

contemplation,

living in a time of sacrifice,

I can wield the strength,

to conquer this crusade of life,

when it shortens length,

restoration. 

TRIPPIN

Through the valleys

Through the forests

Down the dirt roads

With your two fists

Wrapped around

The grip of the handles

Sunlight burns

Like a thousand candles

Singed, it crashes

Through the glass

Coated, with ashes

You’re going fast

Another bump

Another hill

Another way

To get my thrill

now you’re close to

The finish line

Have you got what it takes

To win the prize

There you rip

Right through the gears

Defying, all that you fear

Are you trippin?

FOREVER SKIES by JRC

Forever Skies
Raised hands, closed eyes
Can you TAKE the time?
Can you GIVE the time?
If you fit the crime,
Will you run away?
Living, breathing device
Would you care to say...
These skies will go forever
But how far will you fly?
How far will you soar?
How much will you try?
How much are you begging for?
Are you there, or are you sleeping?
Do you see the forest weeping,
Shedding leaves like tears,
Rain, wash away these fears...
Can you TAKE the time?
Can you GIVE the time?
With your raised hands,
And your closed eyes,
Will you ever notice
These forever skies

LIKE YOU by Jeff C

LIKE YOU

i used to be like you,
dead stares in darkened rooms,
thoughts were without hue,
even the ocean couldn't bring
a strong enough wave
to match what you've been through...
i used to be like you,
chained necks and wrists were scarred,
behind wrought iron bars,
even the sun couldn't burn a hole
into your sad, sad eyes filled with tar...
i used to see like you did,
sorrow stuck like glue did,
mouth taped and muted,
rage couldn't be computed,
i used to be like you,
remember all the broken hearts,
now they're mended,
except your's,
your pain extended,
you hurt like you depended,
on the stars ripped open tendons,
to lift you back up again,
but i remember now,
i used to be like you

ABOUT MEDITATION by Jeff Chamberlain

            Sometimes I write essays—but not much. Today I want to talk about meditation and the likes. I will cover certain aspects of different types and methods of meditation as well as my own twists on them. I hope you enjoy my opinions as I value them a lot.

The first and most basic form of meditation is by using a mantra. A mantra is a word or phrase used to bring your attention back to your center when it strays away or goes off track. The most simple mantra, and widely used is by repeating the word “Om” (pronounced ‘owm’). But this isn’t the only mantra. A mantra can be anything such as: “I’m okay” or “now I’m calm”. You may experiment and create your own—think outside the box

Another way to meditate is by using the four finger exercise. It is effective and, if utilized can help you wind down after a busy day. You start by gently laying your hands backside down on your lap. First, connect your thumb to your index finger and while you do this, close your eyes and think of a very exciting and exhilarating experience—maybe you are on a rollercoaster. This heightens your awareness and gets you started for the next step. Next, press your thumb to your middle finger. Now, think of a time when you were very happy—maybe you received a gift or had your first kiss. You must really dig into your past for this second one. Try to bring out the good in your past. For the third finger, your ring finger, think of the nicest thing someone has said to you and imagine yourself replying thank you. This is really important because it, not only builds self-esteem, but allows you to experience what it feels like to be treated thoughtfully. Lastly, touch your thumb to your pinky “little” finger and imagine a really relaxing and calm place. Maybe it is the beach with the sea breeze gently hugging you or a trip through a forest where nature is endless. Make sure that it causes you to feel very calm and dwell on it for a few minutes. This exercise will surely work within the first few instances.

Finally, mindfulness is a good way to cope with the stresses of the day. Mindfulness is simple—staying, steady, in the present moment and not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. It’s remaining in the here and now and relating to the world around you, observing, noticing and minding your environment and self-sensations. The easiest way to be mindful is through closing your eyes and just noticing. Notice the sounds around you, if you were near a stream you might hear trickling water or if you are inside maybe there is a fan or a heater on. These things help you to grasp the present and stay in the moment. If your mind wanders simply bring it back to your center by focusing on a sound, smell or feeling. It is also important not to judge whether things are good or bad—they just simply are there, not for judgment.

There are also many types of ways that you can be mindful. For example, take a piece of food, maybe a small cookie or a segment of an orange, and slowly start to notice or observe it with your five senses. First, you might feel it, the cookie might be rough or the orange may be slimy. Then, you can smell it and then, taste it, and it might make a sound if you chew it. The purpose is to be aware of the present, one moment at a time.

As stated, there are many ways to meditate and I’ve only touched on a few. Meditation is a wonderful skill which may take long practice and effort but is a sure cure for the stresses of everyday life. So, go ahead and try it, be creative, and maybe you’ll come up with your own meditation method.

Hello Sky by JRC

Hello sky
Can I dry your eyes today?
Hello sky
It's a pity that you cry, today
Hello sky
Can I wipe the tears off of your face
Hello sky
Can all of your clouds embrace
Hello sky
I mentioned you before
Hello sky
Your sunny days, what I adore
Hello sky

Pleased to eat you (old)

One late afternoon on a warm summers day as I enter my room on the bed there she lay, covered in pedals of roses I’d add, and the lights were as dim as the hue was too sad, but the night was still young and she started to greet, please do come in, stay awhile, take a seat, still I sensed a danger, one thing was awry, it was a full moon but no stars in the sky, I turned and looked down and she remained on the bed, I let down my guard and stood by her instead, she knelt down before me and was sobbing a storm, when I asked her what’s wrong she said it was mourn, for her late husband who with the benefit of the doubt was killed on this day three years ago, about, I said it’s okay, I’ll be here for you, then she stood up, she said that won’t do, you see I’m not the person you think, I’m not just a woman and before I  could blink, the lights all went out and I was no longer secure, for she whispered to me in a soft feline purr, I’m human by day but by night I am feared, my husband was first, pleased to eat you, my dear.

FORESTS OF PEACE

I love the wind

I sway and soar

I am safely locked with the ground

While the gusts persist

The leaves insist

That now they are no longer bound

They distance themselves

Like precious sea shells

All scattered and thrown all around

They are the trees

Waving their branches

The forest, it dances

And all that they know

Are the echoed romances

The carvings of lovers

Drawn into their covers

And even though

They can’t get another

They still continue to sway

And to soar

The leaves of the spring

Are too hard to ignore

They’re the trees

Oh, the decades they’ve seen

They’re the trees

Oh, how peaceful they seem

They’re the trees

All enduring the breeze

They, are the trees…

LIVE AND LET GO

There were few

Chained to fate, trailing by their past

And who knew

You could’ve shattered, just like a glass

Among them all, you were glorified

Among them all, you were sanctified

Foundation, never crumbled

Timbers that never tumbled

No need to reach for the stars

They’re already yours

No need to jump to far

You’re already there

Strength, courage

Ambition, driven

Fly like an eagle

Soar to the moon

Reign upon the rain

Like a monsoon

Courage, driven

Towering

Strength, ambition

Flowering

Commence the cause, Embrace the echoes

Behold the purest, live and let go…

A Moment Of Your Time

Only in a moment

When the winds have stopped their churning

When everyone’s a hero

And the clocks hands always turning

I lay and watch the clouds

One by one as they never cease

As they float above the mountains

You can tell there’s still a breeze

Oh, it’s only in a moment

That you can play all your cards right

Because, only in a moment

You’ll find the peace within your life

Understood

Do you know what I mean when I tell you I’m scene, I’ve been seen, not obscene, and I’m not pulled far down, like a clown, I am found, like a cloud, in the sky, in the crowd, wondering why, I’m a saint not an ain’t and I’ll put on MY paint, I won’t faint, to be quaint, and I know you will go, when I tell you to stop, it won’t show if you’re  dropped, like a bomb on a nation, a very dumb situation, will not throw me out, though I pit and I pout, do you know what it’s about, I’m a man not a dog, I won’t sit when you shout, there’s the needle in this haystack, and what I mean is to payback, the sheep and the scholars, wearing  cheap woven collars, I’m not waiting for you, if you’re waiting for me cause my me has been found, and she’s standing her ground, so, I preach and I scream, but do you know what I mean???

Heart PIZZA via Valentines Day

THE LIFE I KNEW

In dream, in a daze

Wondering where the time went

All the hues have turned a gray

All this effort, pointlessly spent

Lost a grin but gained a star

Skipped a lot but made it far

The life I knew, as good as gold

A story always left untold

The life I knew, as clear as glass

I always let the hands tick fast

But now that I am never better

I can see through all the mist

Effort into every letter

I life that I don’t need to miss

GLAD

I’m glad to see you’re laughing

I’m glad to and also proud

I’m glad to know that you are

The best to be around

It’s not the stars around us

That’s creating your glow

It shines so bright around us

An aurora we can know

So joyous, they are clapping

There is love within the air

So joyous, are the clouds

Amidst the beauty that you wear

You are what I always wanted

Don’t change a single bit

You are who I always dreamed of

You make my candle lit

I’m glad to see your laughing…

WHERE AND WHEN?

The violins hum through my veins, as they are free, the night and day

I won’t elaborate what’s left of me, I won’t celebrate this altered state

                                (time and place)

Category painless, I heard that you’re stainless

Scarred, bruised but relentless

And I’m not witless, I could be your witness

Break that thing, ignore that clown

I won’t help you unless you are down

Be the reason, be the cause

Any season, through the gloss

Through the glass, it’s just my past

But this light, I want to know

Because it will lead me where to go…

HOPE

Hope is powerful

Hope is kind

Hope is always on my mind

Hope is fearless

Hopeful rays

Hope is awesome, throughout the day

Hope is innocent

Hope is well

Hope’s not something I can tell

Hope’s a lighthouse

In the distance

Hope’s a sign that I can witness

I hope!

I hope for good, I hope with intent

The intent, I hope, will bring good sense

For understanding, for the better

Hope is something, believed together

Hope is of the Lord

HOPE

CANDY FOR THE EYE

Tragic, yet a happy ending

Euphoric and resonating

One ripple past a wave

Angelic batting of the eyes

A wolf’s howl, shadows disguise

Lightning like a diamonds shine

I can’t wait until you’re mine

Magic, like a ghost ascending

Ironic and emulating

Some roads are silver paved

Stairs of gold begin to rise

Aim your focus at the prize

Lightning like a diamonds shine

I can’t wait until you’re mine

ONCE IF BY LAND

Brace yourselves

Paradigm unknown

Bound to the core

But stripped to the bone

Reins on the chariot

Blood on the wheels

Do you have any idea

How the fuck this feels?

Pulsing through these veins

Adrenaline rush

Rags full of stains

Sword full of trust

AMONG THE WOLVES

Can’t forget the day away

Can’t take what you say away

No fear inside bravery

Ivory white grin

Elemental

Did you ever see

A crocodile cry?

Or a miracle

From the corner of your eye?

No cowards

Among the wolves

No end to the traces

Of damage in these woods

Ivory white grin

Round the hills again

Wolves!!!

The silver surrounds them

With an ivory grin

Wolves!!!

AUDIOPHILE (dubstep)

Chemical chains, the synapse, the grain

And forced, discreet , just pick up your feet

Emerge, the irony, nerves are complete

The scapegoat, the time, disguised in your crime

A field, left untouched

A song and a glow, for all those who know

Cracks in the concrete

Adjust the volume, edge of your seat

Bass, treble, iron hits the metal

Go grab a ride, and pedal, pedal, pedal

Shock therapy, through the ears, it would sound

An audiophile, without fear, is now found

By Jeffrey Chamberlain II

FLOW (dubstep)

FLOW

I am now complete

Throwin’ shoulders to the beat

‘Cause now we both compete

Move your body, move your feet

I watch the sweat drip off my face

And then the beat drops

Pulsing strobe lights in this place

And then the beat drops

Few and far between

There are some things left unsaid

I know you know what I mean

Because you’re bobbin’ your head
