A Letter To My Brother
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Life grabs hold of me,
Hoping to control me,
To keep me down,
Keep me on the ground.
Gravity is my enemy
Tho, this love is my friend.

This struggle, this grind
This pull on my mind,
Stress and Tension find me
Can I avoid them this time?

I push with my actions,
Taking action in my life
Striving to evade
Those who pursue me
Working to lift this weight
This weight that is life
The pressures of life

Our Words
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
I can feel your thoughts,
You can read mines
Intimately, caressing
Each others mines,

We lose ourselves,
Lost in past emotions,
Old flames that flickered
Until they diminished,
Listening to whispers
That promised forever
Screaming and shouting
"We couldn't last forever!"

Yes our words say it all
Most don't comprehend
Tho, you understand it all
These lines numb our pain
Not ******* or novacane
The things we could never say.
Lust, love, heartbreak, and pain

Present to me your words
So I can know if your
What I'm looking for
Try to decipher
The code that lies
Beneath my words.
My heart is hidden
Deep within the verbs.

Summer Love
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Feel Winters pain
Cold Winter nights
Bone chilling breeze
Heartaches Hard times

Turn off the lights
Trip into your mind
Think about the thoughts
You thought you left behind

Summer colors fade
Spring flowers never bloom
Seasons you await seem to meet their doom

So Fall into Winter
Your numb once again
The ice on your cheeks
The snow left on your hands.

The trees are naked. The flowers are gone
You cannot forget what things once was
You can't forget your Summer love

Distance
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Distance
The space that is holding us back.
The thing keeping my hand from caressing your back.
These roadways, highways, and freeways
Blocking my way to you
I need to make my way to you.

Distance
This is the problem
Love I believe it to be the answer.
Tho, the solution to the problem
Raises a question
That needs to be answered.
How far does love go?

Distance
What is love in distance?
Would I measure it in miles or inches?
How much love does it take to get to you?
Does love matter if the distance is to great to get to you?

Distance
I don't like this distance
Tho, I'll travel the farthest distance.
Just to give you a give a kiss
Can you feel the love don't resist it.

Distance
Love knows no distance
If I were on Venus
You were on Saturn
We'd meet on Mars
The distance wouldn't matter

Distance
It takes time to travel
Tho, I think we could go the distance.
When I said I love you I meant it.
I know you felt the love
Just try not to feel the distance.

Waiting for Her
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
I strive to be that nice guy she needs.
Waiting for her to spend those summer days
And all those cold winter nights with me.
Hoping that the guys that drive her crazy
Drive her right to me
Man she's right for me  
Hopefully my wife to be
If only I knew the time, place, or the date
That she planned on giving her life to me.

Live and Learn
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
I look at past mistakes
With no regrets.
You see I respect
Who I have become
The lessons I've learned.
My demeanor has changed.
I've sophisticated myself
With suffering and heartache
Yes I've caused plenty of heartache

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
Nameless strangers
Names I strain to say
Those who drained my days
Their names won't go away.

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
These holes in my heart
These girls have left
Stones in my kidney
Grow, I can't suppress
Tho I suppress names
So many names
Well only a few
But their weight
Dominates me.

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
I've grown from the pain
Blood, sweat, and tears
I learned to work for it
I learned to work through it

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
I tripped and fell
But avoided
Running off the cliff
That came next
I've learned from my mistakes

The Wind Speaks To Me
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
These nights are cold
Summer Days no longer keep me warm
The beauty of The Sun
Has long left me torn
The Wind whispers through my window pane
No one knows its name
Tho, we all know the game.
Yes you and I have experienced its pain.
Scented candles are lit
They burn with a blue flame
Smoke fills the room
Our Minds Spins
While our love begins to rotate
Trapped In this trance
We're stuck in this state
Thoughts revolve around the phase
Will this last
Or is it just a phase
Our present problems present a problem
I hope it's not to late
Give me the date
The time where the truth lies
Black and white
No greys
No lines

Instrumental
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
This song hits my ears
I can feel it in my brain
I fabricate these words
Because the song doesn't say
" Come closer
Lead me on no longer
Follow my steps
As I follow My heart
These words aren't my own
They belong to my heart"
This melody moves me
The lyrics are gone
So I've added my words
To this love song
The lyrics are strong
They push out of my Soul
" Let my love find you
When your lost
In the games they play
When these boys
Play with your heart
And cause you pain
When your tears
Are far from dry
And you cant see
The joy in your eyes"
The lyrics left the melody
The melody
Found my words
He left your heart
So let your heart
Find My Love

Again
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Again with this feeling
Feels good right now
So once again I wont listen
To the voice in my head
Saying "Run Now"
Instead I stay
My hearts left in her hand
It feels good no longer
Again with the want
She wants me
Tho, I need Her
When she leaves me
My chest is vacant
My hearts leaves with her.
She never returns it
It somehow finds its way home
So Again I say
Why should I love Again?
But when I see her face
The Again's go away
First Love, First Day
First Time, For Everything.
Heart Breaks Again
Time Stops Again
The Darkness calls my name
The wind whispers my way
But in The end
I get over her
And Move on
Saying Never Again
Tho, We all know
It's going to happen
Again

The Key
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
This rhythm echos through me
Vibes soothe my mind
Smooth lyrics
Leave me lost in time.
This beat moves through me
Moscato Fills my glass
As this feeling
Fills Me.
No Longer Feelings of Love
Tho I do Love
I am no longer in Love
I Love Her
Tho I also Love Her
She is either here nor there
When I need her she's never there
Tho, my feelings are always there
No one ever said love was fair
Well in Love love
Because
Other Love
Is Always Love
They keep me tight
Never letting Me Pop
Letting My Stitches Pop
They keep my screws tight
My marbles stay locked in placed
The Love my friends give is always tight

Young Love
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
My Young Love
To Young to make Love
To Me
But old enough
To be in Love with me
My heart Loves her
But Rules and regulations
Hate Us
This word Us
We Are more then they think
Us is more then they think
Lovers
Friends
We Never end
She is there at The end of Me
She's more then a friend
To me
My Young Love
Because she's younger than me

Life and Girls
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
I'm loosing my mind, I wish I could get my life tight
Times is hard, but its harder to get my life right
What do you have left when it goes wrong, not right?

I look to sky
My confidence is on the ground
Where's those girls you ******
When you need them around
Where's the ones you love
When hate is what you've found

The time is here, the time is now
Tho, the last time I mentioned time
Things didn't work out
Like a stain on my skin
Just rub it till it comes out
I guess hoes are in
Conservative females are out
Even the optically impaired
Know what I speak about

My eyes have seen it all
My mind reads it all
My Heart, Hmm I can't tell it all
Tho, It feels a lot
When I talk to these girl I call
I try to stand strong,
Love makes me fall
But I won't fall in Love
Because I love them all.

I love the ones I respect
Not just the ones who's legs I've stretched
Lusting for their essence not love just ***
Tho my heart grows weary to see who's next
Not next to lay with, Next to just lay with me
No ***, All respect, Longing to spend the day with me
These girls, This world, My Heart , But No Girl
Who's next to bring sunshine to my world

Somewhere
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Somewhere there's a Love Just for me
Tho, I'm starting to thinking Love Isn't for me
I'm Lost In These Thoughts Of Love
I'm Lost in this life of love
Love Has Lost Life For Me
So What is To become Of my love life to Be
Will I ever find my wife to be
That one special girl to spend her life me
My fingers run through my hair
As I stare unsatisfied into this empty air
I find love but she isn't there
I find Her but love isn't there
Is it not meant to be
I don't smell it in the air.
I see the death of my past, but my future isn't there.
How long until I find it.
I've lost my mind
Wondering if love will ever find me.
Tho, these girls don't mind me
Their hearts don't find me.
Yes, I love Them All
But I'm Lost Will Love Find Me?
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
As the wind spins the daffodils
My head starts to fill with reflections of you
Looking at the sky, wondering if I,
A mere peasant, could come close to you
I see you as Royalty,  
My heart no longer cares for me, Only you
A velvet color bleeds upon my chest
I sense you are different from the rest
Tho, this blood sticks to my skin
Reality is it comes from, within me
You slay me, constantly causing dismay
My heat is shaped for you, As if it is formed of clay
I am loyal to your eyes, I wear a mask
You can see through my disguise, only in the day
At night animal instincts arise, my howls crack the moon
How I yearn for you, I search for you, my heart cries to you
This piece you've given me won't suffice I need all of you
Capture your beauty into my life, forever a picture last
Tho, I dream to bring Kodak to life, if only for a night
When the beast preys on the innocent ones,
When the Sun is gone and the Moon has risen
Cover me in shadows and release night from prision
Endure my afflictions I will, If your willing to wait with me
Wait with me until your realize you love me,
These hues of colors are bright, Yes happiness
Will find us, If you stay with me
Until the waters run cold
The heat from our love
Is left to keep us warm
Just stay with me as the wind spins the daffodils,
And the plot thickens. Stick with me
When all is gone because or love must go on
Even if you don't know it yet.

Proverbs of Ignorance
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Looking at these pictures of you
Wondering what I should do
Keep you in my heart,
Or try my best leave you
Should I take you in as mine
Your always on my mind
These thoughts of you are dim
I try and let the light shine
So supisous of comitment
Becuase your lips seem to be forbidden
I can't conceive my life without you
Tho, our invovlement seems to be contingent
Digging for emotions, this treasure is still hidden
Confused about this life, I only know I need forgiveness
I know about this pain, and the things I have to live with
I know you and I are constant, but We as one could be inconsistent
Please tell me that you know, that real emotions remain a mystery
That I love you for who you are, but I hate we don't have history
That these words I write are real, but spoken words are synthetic
That I take these shots of pain, only to clear my vision
That if I could stop this cycle I would surely end it
That I have no choice in what I'm doing, until its finished
That when I whispered that I love you, it was a proverb to my ignorance.
That I'll never leave your heart, even when you leave my vision.

Illegal Dreams
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
I heard that dreams were illegal
So i find that so many people,
Escape to an alternate reality
Hoping that one day,
It becomes there reality.
I heard that dreams were illegal
So I cant hope to see you
A life sentence is the right sentence
Because I'm dreaming to be with you
Contractions and convictions
Feeding at the criminal inside of me
Because I can't fight this distance .
I heard that dreams were illegal
So these sirens are at my feet
Red and Blue lights are all I see
Tho, I'm running to see you
I heard that dreams are illegal
But I'd stand in front of the judge
If the crime is to lay with you
What could I possibly say or do
As these thoughts run wild & recklessly ,
I heard that dreams were illegal ,
Time has passed wonderment of being with you
Is something I can no longer endure ,
The complexity has my mind racing
Heart beating faster each second of every minute ,
I heard that dreams were illegal,
Facts will lay were they may ,
I'm around but i can't come your way ,
Only time has been patientI've been patient with time ,
Demented as my behavior becomes more & more irrational ,
Saunteredly moving the sky becomes gray ,
I paint your face wherever my eyes lay ,
My propitate ways deny what is not pleasing to me
I heard that dreams were illegal
So that view of sunshine you see
Is affiliated with doing time
It is less than freedom
But more then slavery
So let us progress into the abyss
So when they finally disclose
The recipe for happiness
We'll know that we are free
I heard that dreams were illegal
So I hope that what I see
Is really just my reality
Tho my high hopes
Sink low when I realize
Im Dreaming,

Journey Inside You
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
My imagination...
Is filled with sweet fragrance
Crushed rose petals, lemon peals, plant shavings
Elated I stand with happiness on my face
As I give myself a glance of the things to take place
Visions of me drinking frequently from your private streams
Dancing in your meadows, and climbing up your trees
Digging deep into your earth,
Making mud out of Passion and dirt
Traversing your peaks and valleys
As you scream to me spiritually
Your foundation quivers
Yes your knees shakes
Time and time again
I've been to this place
Tho, the pleasure never subsides
This gold shines in the night
It takes the Sun's place
I journey from late night
To early in the day
The universe synced with my being
Celestial Lights guide my way
I explore your caves
As the stars show me the way
Love gives warmth, I give love
Let me warm your place

I Feel Like
I Complicate My Life
By Looking To The Future
For Current Insight
Yes I Do It
But I Don't Think Its Right
So At Night I Lay, Think, And I Write
I Lay Alone
Wishing I Was Next To The Girl
Who's Confused By The Poems I Write
Yes There's More Than One
But I feel This One Is Just Right
Tho, I Hesitate And Play It Safe
By Wrapping My Heart Tight
With Caution Tape
The Love Is There
However I Find It Unfair
That Cupids' Arrows
Pierce My Sides And Stay There
When I Pull They Tear
Can't Take That Pain
So I Keep Them There
Tho This Girl
Mends My Wounds
Brings Cool Air To June
You May Not See It In Her
But She See's It In Me
I See Her For What She Is To Me
What She Has The Potential To be
Potentially She Could Live With Me
Breakfast In Bed
With Sunny Side Up Eggs
Tho I Take My Steps Slowly
Afraid That She Could Burn Me
Afraid That She Could Begin To Know Me
So I Have To See If I Can Hide Me Gently
You May Not Comprehend
But I Know She Understands

Mars Meet Jupiter
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
I feel that I am trapped by my dreams
Trapped in my dreams,
These things I need
Well it seems I need,
I need a vision of my future
I see my past in front of me
My brain traps me
This bed traps
This women laying next to me..
But, wait its just a dream
Please don's ask me what this means
Mars meets Jupiter
But only in my dreams
Define for me the definition
Of the things soon to be
It doesn't seem soon to me
What are we to be, is she to me
I do not see the answer
I only see the truth
The truth is coded in my viens
These hearts beats share dialect with my brain
Thinking of her but is she thinking of me
Who can seee the innner me?
Life lays in my bed, but she is mean to me.
She whispers to me my past, my pain
Tickling her tongue with their names
Pounding at my bones hoping they break.
My past, My pain
Why won't it go away?
Visions haunt my pupils
I can still feel the pain.
Reoccuring, memories of suprressed memories
I remember when I compressed those memories
Left them deep within me..Now they lay in my bed
Like an old friend, smirking, "Suprised to see me"
The things I fear, well things I feared
Nothing left to fear, besides those memories
Fate giggles at me
Death Laughs at me
The furneral its in the past so dont ask me
I dream of my future
Please let me catch my future.
Mars meets Jupiter
I see this women but only in my future.
Dreaming of my past
I can't forget the future
Visions burn my pupils
My bed is empty
I'm alone
But not in my future

Revenge
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
The sweetest joy
Maniacal ploy
The plot thickens
I start grinning
As the goosebumps
Crawl up my spine
Its time to get even
Even if that means
Leaving my current
Mental state of sanity
Death to humanity
I guess its the imperfect
Man in me
My morals hide
My smile is wide
Now is the time
That vengance is mine

African Revolution
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
It's crazy how I am posed as a threat to the American society.
It's crazy how I fit the description of any crime. Because they profiled me, by my race.
Because my pigment depicts the actions and I'm just their next hit.
I'm just waiting for the blow to the head that will exploit my brains
Scrambling them into pieces on the street.
It will reveal what they fear
I guess brown pigment signifies a corrupt mind.
Mind you, that my homicide will make the world a better place
Because there plans are to get rid of the "filth"
Now you tell me who's corrupt as they wash their blood stained filthy hands.
Don't worry, because these ****** think they're on a mission to save America.
The tactics are changed, so don't be fooled the goal is the same as 60 years ago.
They fear my intelligence, because before they believed I was completely illiterate
But now.
They feel fear when they see me
Tremble when they hear me speak.
My articulation shocked them and left them on their knees, begging.. For their superiority back.
They label me as a thief, because that label has been jacked.
It's just unbelievable that fear has left my brains shattered on this concrete,
But are my black roots too strong for defeat?
Do they fear the strength in what they once referred to as a disease?
A curse by god, a lifelong flaw, it seems quite odd wait a second...pause
I’m an upstanding citizen by the standards of society
Though if they see my skin, like Christ three times they’ll deny me
Counterfeit Christians and let I not mention the leniency in religion.
Let us not stray I’ll get back to the beginning,
It seems quite odd they expect us to forget rather than forgive them.
Mentally weakening the dreams of the enslaved black beings
Sparking wars of race within a race
Willie Lynch thought he perfected his methods of slavery
But methods of our African ancestors taught us to bend, but never break
In a centuries time the change will blow your mind
From being chained and put in line, to inspiring culture in ignorant minds.
So raise your fist and clench it tight,
In hopes my brains don’t meet the concrete tonight

What I've Seen
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
I've seen some sad **** before,
Tears in my eyes,
Stomach pains can’t even **** before.
I've seen some sad **** before,
Children with problems of grown men
Fathers missing, Mothers dismissing
The struggle, the hustle, they won’t admit it.
I've seen some sad **** before,
If you don’t misplace my statements
You’ll find a thought in my mind  
That reminds of you that time…
Well never mind you displaced it.
I've seen some sad **** before
Leaders on the path of the destruction
Followers to brainwashed to disrupt them
The word of God, flipped, and used by frauds
False prophets with greed in mind
Money talks, but they lie.
I've seen some sad **** before.
Like my reflection in the mirror
I couldn't picture it though
My green eyes diluted,
I thought I wasn't suited to strive
Suited to survive without the hands
That wiped my eyes.
I've seen some sad **** before.
But I've realized the world doesn't cry
It covers its pain with lies
Well, I've tried, to live the dream
But reality is mean
So I take the good, the bad, and the ugly
For what it means
We see distant galaxies as they dream
I've seen some sad **** before.
But now I know it gets worse
That my reality is a dream
To the ones who've seen
The horrible things
My green eyes lie,
So my tears hide
The worse cry dries red eyes
When you realize
You haven’t seen **** before

This Prison
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Locked within the prison that is my mind
My cerebral connects to my spine
And nerves endings tell my body lies
So that I may believe that everything is fine
Love lies connected between these lines
Although this heart does echo the most silent of cries
holding fast to any dreams deferred by time
and letting go of any ill feelings ive come to deny
This is a chance to confront any fears,
to cure this confusion,
this pain... these tears
to reveal the deepest secret that i've always known
that with patience good things will always unfold
that my reason of existance is still untold
that true love is eternal and never grows old
Love lies connected between these lines
Lines that merge my heart with thoughts inside
Inside of me is the truth
Truth Never seen only spoken
Spoken words never heard but inspire hope
Hope that is the accelerant to the fire of my life
Life may be filled with stress, but I try my best.
Best, better, good, bad, worse, worst
Worst case scenarios seem to chase my dreams
Dreams of happiness and stability, maybe even civility
Civility I've never seen maybe once or twice in a dream
Dream just dreams I hope one day I know what it all means

Life's Flow
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
My heart skips like a rock across the river filled in my sorrows
I'm down today, but there's hope for tomorrow
This hope lets me cope like its dope and I'm a fiend
Each ripple of a wave shows me the way
Taking me, making my mental depression raise
And in the breeze that kisses my tear streaked face
I find a glimmer of a smile the dawning of a new day
A day that dissolves anguish and brings an abundance of happiness
Like hot chocolate deep in winters mist
I find that I'm deep within these myths
Buried in lies beyond lies, I've tried and I've tried
Floundering time after time
Sinking deep until the bottom was my place to hide
Struggling for air, lungs unable to rise
Weight of burdened waters and tides
Until in the darkness I chose to swim and rise
The time is now determination fills my eyes
Thru pain comes happiness I have come to realize
Press to the top this Ian my life and my sunrise
I am the drive train in the machine that motivates me
The I in the team that solely consist of me
Like a beam of light it strikes me
Profusely enlightens me ,
Adjust my contrast and brightens me
No longer will I huddle in the dark acquiescly
Eloquence bubbles up inside of me
Hope serenades from within
As an illuminating light in my eyes begins
I can see now the fantastical future depends
On where I lay my burdens and my sins
I chose to be free, live my life, plant seeds
And allow destiny to drive and fulfill my needs
As I cry out the pain Heaven has heard my pleads
The anguish washed away, my soul no longer bleeds
My Utopia awaits, this cages bird is freed
Its times flee and gambol
No longer gambling on the shadows
Luminaries of the sky let me spread my wings and fly
Nature lifts me high, the birds chirp hi, as they gracefully fly by
I can't fathom the fugacious elegance so prevalent
With great relevance to my contentment with life
No longer with I struggle or strife
I'll dehydrate my eyes no longer will I cry
Time is ineffable so I'll pay no mind,
To the hands that control the lie

Concrete Walls
Jay Bryant Jun 2013
Concrete walls, floors, and ceilings solo like solitaire is how I'm feeling my mind locked up solitude so they can
so they can't hear me. Tho they feel my heart beat deep beneath the fears that scare me
How dare me? How dare I live life long and true hoping for paradise.
I live my life watched my sacred eyes, they say they've lived through pain but care they bare mines.
Trial after trial, files document mines, Minds pill under the facts after the fact the truth are lies, they live under my light dim lights never shine, that’s fine a light is bright, but that too will die, closed in cloths, wrapped in shame, eyes are crazed but mine are sane ... The past haunts us all but this my battle, scars build on top of scars, pain of the past building a plethora of burdens.... This isn’t just a shame, this game... The game we all play, called life
This game called life but there are no resets or retries, if it gets real and you down to ride, then you down to die, because bullets have no name, and your clock is what they're trying to strike. Your time is the biggest lie, because all you know is a fraction growth human beings are starting to show. All you know is the space where your mind lies, but don’t forget you mind lies. Deceived by your own perception, relieved by hoes affection this deception runs deeper than a touchdown pass, and no matter how many Hail Mary’s you say. You may drop the ball and throw it away. Regress to a place you've already been take a step back and try it again
So listen my faired friend , in life we can hold hands but walking by side to side , not living through others eyes, my life is so magnetized , try not to be compromised , you see the struggle from far , don’t make it seem like your blind,
Take a breath .. Let us all relieve stress... Don't Call it a big step.. For us all ; we need help... Life is just a war... For war begets war... But understand my man, this is all a plan to cost more... If I’m struggling and I’m tumbling, just reach out or scream and shout but life is crazy no one can play me, I’m no console, put the games way please...
This is my; fraction of classlessness; or my small ghetto passion for bashfulness... Look out your tunnel vision and see the world, not all are rich not all have girls not all have the smarts not all seem to shine cause in this crazy world MANY PEOPLE ARE BLIND.

Finish Line
Jay Bryant Apr 2013
I'm running, but the Government is on my heels, and my shoes are untied.
If you don't see the truth you’re bound to die.
Mass Media Hypnotist if you know the truth I know you feelings this.
These lines are the best years of my life,
But they’re after my hope so I hope I finish it tonight.
Finish lines bombed before the feet crossed the line,
Before the hand crossed the time
My intelligence slips,
I dread that I’m about to lose my mind
Great uproars of silence,
The hullabaloo is mental this time.
I remember last time,
I saw the beginning before the end
But now I see the end and its only beginning
Now I beg that you make supplication in pray
So that you may live to the end
Tragedy may cause your life to end
But you’ll begin to live again.
Will you cross the finish line in the end?

Cold World
Jay Bryant Mar 2013
Echoes of a piano keys, and the heartbroken whales of a goddess
Fathom the sounds, be honest
The truth is desperate, because lies are an endemic
This world has grown fulsome in tears, as the years wither away
Names ring in the ears of victims’ families’ each day
Faded concepts cause lifelong dismay
Justify the concoction spilled on the ground each day
Gallons of salty tears, and warm blood
Mix together in cold streets no love
Blind eyes and Deaf ears completely disappear
When despair is near,
When revelations take place, no secrets just faith

My Report
Jay Bryant Mar 2013
I stand medicated yet firm in my statement,
These ideas become adjacent
Numerous problems I engage with
My hands find my hair Grip, Pull, Twist
So I throw on some smooth issshhh
Like Poetry over Heaven’s Melody
Sounds like seduction when I’m fussing
This music soothes my soul
When my belly’s filled with the Devil’s Pie
This music makes me whole
When there’s something missing deep down inside
When I get vexed I get down to ride,
Metamorphosis, in a moment’s time
Fear becomes a myth and death only by suicide
This comma, this dream, my life what does it mean?
In my time I’ve seen treacherous things
Scarred for life like your eyes were bleeding
Numb to the pain, but never blinded by what I see
Night terrors in the day, all that’s left is it to pray
Sometimes I seem to lose my way
Equilibriums shot what could it be?
They shot MLK and JFK, have they shot me?
I’ll cut off my hands, before a chip cuts off my soul.
Defecated times of my life, but I was born with goals
So I have to get this **** right, tonight
All have sinned, and fall short
So a few lines of courage I’ll snort
Sit here with my wine, and write this report
From personal experience, statistics, and public opinion
The world has become susceptible, and subdued by evil influence
To scared, squeamish, and sick in the head
To have the courage to say what needs to be said
They’ll regret it when they’re dead.

The Light
Jay Bryant Mar 2013
I don't know if I'm ready for that day
When the sun goes down
When darkness comes my way
I endeavor to shine
My light is faint
But still bright enough
To blind the ones who hate
My strength is a mystery to me
Why do I wake each day, Is it fate?
Am I late for my passing
Or just thinking about it too early
Words swarm out my mind
Tho, I rarely speak
So I write to pass the time

Kisses In The Dark
Jay Bryant Mar 2013
Our shadows kiss, but our lips remain distant
When I feel the warmth of her touch
Her hands dismiss the mist,
Shrouded around my visions
When her breathe brushes against my skin
I sense she’s ordained the light to come in
I’ve become mawkish, susceptible to her voice.
Her pitch, her tone, my chocolate Goddess
The legends had foretold
I lack the ability to sense the severity of the things to unfold
I’ve come to know my stomach is weak, when she speaks
When she abandons me, the light retreats
I drink to subdue these physical pangs
Shipwrecked, but only in my brain
Our shadows kiss in the darkness each day

Vexation Humbles Me
Jay Bryant Mar 2013
With every utterance that leaves my lips
Exist a thousand more my tongue have missed
Frustration causes problems compiling my statements
I try to recapitulate my day, but failure hides in my shadow
My mind leads me and I follow
Complex formulas and conundrums are riddle across my brain
Monday through Sunday overthinking regulates my plane
I soar through the sky in thought,
Though in reality I haven’t left yet
Though I consciously monitor my next step
Because I’m on plan E and I think F’s next
Entrapped by the scent of,
The woman that lies beside me
My soul watches her as she sleep
I lay awake thinking of the rising sun
The things to come with the next day
I’ve learned a lot mainly that patience pays
That vexation puts me in my place, kicks sand in my face
Obscures my way, to humble my spirit
Arrogance ravages my actions
But frustration deflates my ego
With every utterance that leaves my lips
Exist a thousand more my tongue have missed

Sad Black Clown
Jay Bryant Feb 2013
Black and Grey waters
Fathers the hope of its followers
As this Wave of inspiration
Crashes into the page, Sights of past shadows
Morph in to words, so cold and shallow
You reap what you sow, so I know my hope is shallow
So I sit and I pray with this page in front of me
Arranging these words hoping they expand the days in front of me
Live life on the dangerous side, Under the influence and down to ride
Mask on his face like a sad black clown, life’s rain seems to make him frown
Pour up drink to calm him down, Roll up smoke just to make him smile
Mary Jane seems to stick around,
Stimulate your mind
See beyond the clouds
Vibrations of sounds
Sing the song of the
Sad Black Clown

Drunken Nights
Jay Bryant Feb 2013
Feeling intoxicated liquor filled basements
Times wasted, These lies are patient
These lines come together
More precise than a knife
More like a scalpel
I grapple with reality
Bcuz it slips through my mind
And shouts at me
Mad Dogs let the chains loose
Its a 20/20 chance  
I could change you
Change is natural
Thats what your brain'll do

Words Of Encouragement
Jay Bryant Feb 2013
If you think your is pain great,

And your anguish is too strong.

If you think you don't have

What you need to go on.

If you think the dark

Is way past you knees,

Or you don't have the strength

To do what need.

If you think the fire in your heart

Is slowly diminishing.

Let me tell you what I know

With hopes to soothe your soul.

I know that you can do it.

I know you can go on.

I know that in the end

You'll still be standing strong.

I know the pain is bad,

But I know that you are great.

I know you won't give in

Too a little heartache.

I know that out the dark

You'll soon see the light.

You just have to stay strong

And make it through the night.

Concern
Jay Bryant Feb 2013
If I spoke the truth
It would be no concern to you
Maybe my rhymes hold no reason
Then whats the reason they seem untrue
I'm going to get high and reflect the sky
Look at the wings of the dove as it passes by
Project colors of blue love, not blues love
You see I got the blues but its no concern to you
What will your lack of concern prove
I'm not concerned with whispers of yesterdays winds: for its a new day
Tho today I might pay, Because those winds might have been trying to say
There's a storm headed my way, You may say this is an evil place
Tho each day you live, Have you given thanks?

Fairy Tales
Jay Bryant Feb 2013
I once believed in fairy tales
That in the end it would all end well
A good thought this is true
But what is one to do
When he see's he's been a fool
I once believed fairy tales came true
Now I know they don't but Nightmares do
Hearts break like glass plates
Heartaches and pains like artheris on winter days
Storm Clouds bring rainbows but they also bring rain
Falling upon the forgotten taking away there
Anguish finds us all even the mighty must fall
Hearts break like glass plates
They gave me the key, but its a combination safe
Locked doors hide history and more
What lies hidden beneath the floor boards
Deep within the basement
All the time that was wasted
All the love placed in different places
Yes this is a Nightmare,
But when day breaks
It still eats at you
Yes this is a Nightmare,
But what scares you most...
Is its True
I used to believe in fairy tales did you

Making Love
Jay Bryant Feb 2013
Taste sweeter than honey
Something better than money
Velvet to the touch
The feeling like you about to..
Sensations and red tinted rooms
Sheets wet, the bed is too
The pleasure of the Love
And the feeling of making love
Still feeling like your gonna....
Body shaking and legs go numb
Stairway to Heaven the climb has begun
Jay Bryant Feb 2013
In King's dream his wishes were apeased,
But never he would believe
The the things that I have seen
The glory and the shame
Ignorant people still known by another name
Malcolm X inspired the rebel in me
To peek behind the curtain
See the behind the scenes
That the government does devious things
However that man said "..By any means.."
And by any means Barrack helped Martin
Fulfill his dreams
I devote my dreams to Wisdom and Knowledge
In hope that one day
People won't have to work to go to college
That the government would be about the people
and not the politics
In hope that the slaves be freed
You see we are all slaves to society
So like Martin I have a dream,
That I can say I'll bring to life by any means

I Could
Jay Bryant Jan 2013
I could write a book,
In the nights I lay awake
Staring at the ceiling
Impatiently I wait
I could fill the world with my thoughts.
Tho as the day breaks they would all be lost
Enemy of the Sun
More than once we've fought
I could pave a road with my words
Tho you wouldn't follow me
So they'd go unheard
I could give you peace of mind
Tho you'd question my ability
So why waste my time
I could change the world in an instant
Tho at night I'd lay,
And wonder if I meant it
I could live in the future
But I'd rather live in the past
In hopes that I could make life last
I could close my eyes
But sleeps far away
So I sit in the dark and try to fill this page

The Inner Truth
Jay Bryant Jan 2013
The things Ive seen have brought about the things I aspire to be. Yes she inspires me to be all I can be. Tho, my actions are unpleasant today. I hope she understands tomorrow. I hope she comprehends my actions and statements like the lady that's long left this nation. She knew me better than me now no one can see this pain that afflicts me. The voices that drive my mental, insanity, is the answer to the question they haven't asked. Long ago in past I meditated on my sanity in hopes the facued of being normal would last. Self medication takes place when the ice hits the glass and the taste of ***** and codiene numbs me face. Tho now when I see her face feelings of love take place. I love this girl tho it hurts me. I see the anguish in her face sadly I have placed it deep inside of her heart. Though one day like alchemy I'll make love from the pain. I wish to extend my days with her, because I can't explain the extent of my happiness when I'm with her. Tho she's yet to truly know me the different personalities within me. The dreadful things I've seen, the caged beast that lives in my words, the worries of life, the twist and turns of my brain, the differences in each name. Mentally my brain is split in three, tho, physically there's only me. So she cannot see; that the poet brings peace to me, Jay is a few pieces of me the good the bad and the ugly that's what most people see, Jaykhuan is at the root of me the grimey, the dreams of people shooting at me, worse than the ***** I'm expected to be, and still smarter than the ****** trying to flex on me. So you see Jpoetry mends these words of pain sewing them on a string to stitch beauty in my brain. Jay always escapes but I hate for Jaykhuan to get out his cage. The criminal who hides the pain. Tho at night she soothes me happily. I've finally found what happiness can be her life and family bring happiness to me. So motions of devotion grow strong in my heart, but my heart hurts because I've caused pain to her. Tho willingly I'll endure to ensure that our lives will be drawn out successfully. I'll endure her pain the silent tears in her name, and hope the grand scheme of things won't turn her away. The drugs in my vains take away my pain, but can't numb the disappointment in her face. So I hope, pray, and believe that she'll learn me so she can see, can understand the actions that overtake me are not just for me but for us. It breaks me when her anger makes her cuss. Tho for us I'll remain tough so down the line this love will bring love to both of us

Slow Thoughts of Justice
Jay Bryant Jan 2013
Take it slow
The wheels turn
As the shotgun barrel burns
Society loses concern
For the ones who died yesterday
There's more dying today
Hope shrivels and withers away
Joy and Justice have descended away
Somewhere some place some how some way
My pen bleeds the blood
Of the victims slain in the mud
My words hold a grudge
So my views will not budge
,The majority lies in a secret sorority
Notorious for the notions against life
A hell bent flight with no oxygen light
This page is the white light
The ink shoots through the tunnel
My thoughts conspire in a huddle
Dive through hoops
Jumping over hurdles
Tho I try to take it slow and move like the turtle

Late Night Thoughts At 5am
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
When I write late in the night or early in the day,
I like dimmed lights,
pressing random thoughts into these keys,
As she lays next to me trying to sleep,
Novocaine plays and describes my day,
My words slur in this hypogongic state.
Lets take a trip somewhere far away.
A voyage to Atlantis or maybe just to another state.
Let my paradise be more then I dream.
Let it be a place where I can enjoy the birds sings.
With painted on scenery, Yeah, thats the way.
Let me groove with you,
let us dance on rose petals I feel so smooth with you.
My eyes are to heavy to carry
But the burden of sleep has already been buried.
Suddenly life's not so bad the struggle is still there but
The Struggles not so bad.
I've revised my ways without any kind of Rehab.
Eyes fall real slow lets hope I don't relapse.
Perhaps this is the quiet before the storm
Or maybe I'm sitting in the eye of the storm.
Tho, I do adore her for more than just her form,
I take whats inside the machine thats inside.
Mechanisms that hide from the naked eye but
I know them well so I can see them without even trying.
How dry is this life without the rain that pours from inside.
A drought thats good if you truly understands whats inside.
Late night missions in place of late night cries.
Stand up for what you feel is right,
I'll play the Stick up kid and rob the rich of their joy and pride.
I'll play Robin Hood in the storm tonight.

Let Them Learn
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
All kids of today seem to say
"I already know, I'm grown."

So let them see the world
Not what they watch on tv.
Show them the struggles of life
So they know that its not easy.
Tell them that I'm hungry
Yet,my refrigerator is empty.

Life's not what they believe
So let them strive with problems
Then hope they see.
Turn them down profusely
When they ask for wants not needs.

Poverty equals suffering
There's a long road for change
But this kids must know
Life's not all fun and games.
Observe their wrong doing
Then proceed to say

"I only hold my tongue to let you learn. Your mistakes and pain will be your teacher. "

Butterfly
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
Her beauty mocks me.
A graceful butterfly
Once blessing me
With her presence.

Tho, as life took its toll
I slowly lost hold and,
She swiftly flew into the sky.

Her beauty escaped me
Leaving me lost for words
And paralyzed with the fear
Of losing her,
Before she was mines.
Who knew butterflies could bite?

Cupid choked me
Her love revoked mines
Tho, I still think.
This lock and key
Belongs to this butterfly

Listen To Me
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
When all noise has ceased
And the air is clear.
My mind keeps working
Incessantly spinning gears.

So let me speak
These words I hear
Let me hope
You may comprehend.
Heed my speech
Give me your ear.

This life I live
This life I love
I serve my heart
I serve my love
Take pride in fault
Proud of mistakes
Fear only God
This life he can take.

The Struggle
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
I gaze out my window,
And see poverty at its greatest.
Minorities co-existing, mingling,
Scraping up change to make pennies.
My stomach groans at witnessing this.

It sets a fire in my soul,
Momentum starts to burn.

How I yearn for the end of this struggle
Yet its all I know,
Leaving me with no place to go.
Striving to live since birth
This pain is my way.

This pain is my way
It sets a fire in my soul
Leaving me with no place to go.
Scraping up change to make pennies.
Momentum starts to burn.
Scramble my words.

Truth Is Knowledge
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
I love to be misunderstood
Tho, my words stand for me
If only they understood.

I speak what I feel
All that is real to me
Love, Life, and Knowledge.
I only utter what is real
And what I view as Truth.

Truth is Knowledge.
If you know what is wrong
Reality, will crush you in the end
Your heart, is in collusion with
What you know

Truth is left to conspire
With Reality against your thoughts.
Leaving me to exercise my right,
And inhale it all keeping my at ease.
Dec 2012 · 405
Blinded
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
Its eye opening
To see the friends
That I use to have
How people use to be.

Things are going wrong
Tho I still sing my song
At the end of the night
My foresights gone
I can't see the light,
Stuck in a dark hole
I cant feel the path
Go straight
Don't swerve

O.B.E.
Jay Bryant Dec 2012
"PAUSE!"
Momentarily ceasing my reality.
Presenting me the opportunity
To dissect this somber situation.
Peering into a dimly lit room
I find myself sulking,
Pondering in a depressive manner.
What is my affliction?
I cannot truthfully answer this.
Tho, I am slowly
Digging this hole deeper.
Tho, I know I am alive
I ask "Have I died?"
"Play!" I say to myself
But my life is still paused.
Can I animate the corpse
I have become,
Or has this opportunity decayed?
