Little Mischief (complete) 7 10 17

My first digital sketch

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.

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
