  • "Lover's Sonata"
             by Jay K

    The drums beat steady
    and the chimes ring in
    a slow steady melody
    starts with the whistle of flutes
    violins and cellos
    strum out a two-beat rhythm
    the trumpets and french horns
    join in with a low wail
    to shake the essence
    of the very air in my lungs
    making my breath catch
    deep in my chest
    so the woodwinds offer theirs
    their sweet soothing breaths
    to replace my own
    the music slows and softens
    and works its way
    deep into my soul
    the violins play out
    a slow sustaining tune
    on my heartstrings
    and the flutes flirt coyly
    with their responses
    the horns start getting louder
    and the drums quicken
    warming my body
    as my pulse follows suit
    the whole orchestra
    pursues the frantic pace
    as it rises to a crescendo
    and as soon as I feel
    as if I can't take anymore
    the music slows
    and your embrace calms me
    as your presence
    finishes conducting
    my Lover's Sonata

  • "Alternate Reality"
            by Jay K

    just two hours away
    yet a completely different world
    I see myself at Tech
    instead of JMU
    a strange twist of fate
    has rewritten that one choice
    gone are the last four and a half years
    replaced by some unknown
    gone is my sophomore slump
    my mental breakdown
    gone is my fucked up gpa
    my academic barrier
    I would have been able to avoid
    that one worst choice
    of my college existence
    one that still haunts me to this day
    but who's to say
    that I wouldn't have made another
    perhaps my life would've been better
    perhaps it would've been worse
    but I know what it would be lacking
    my three closest souls
    the three Geminis
    I'm sure they know who they are
    our signs state that we clash
    yet here they are
    and I have never known
    any non-familial bonds
    as close as the ones I share with them
    perhaps I'm just unusual
    my brain's not wired correctly
    that much is for certain
    whatever the case
    I know if given the choice
    I wouldn't trade them for the world

  • "Dark Tides"
             by Jay K

    standing tall
    I overlook my castle
    painstakingly built to perfection
    tall outer walls
    protect the keep within
    where I live
    isolated from the world
    inside I stand untouched
    within an ebb in time
    but assault comes from without
    and with each wave
    sections of my wall cave in
    I am caught unprepared
    and can do naught
    but watch as it happens
    it won't be long now
    before the dark tides
    crumble my castle in the sand
    and I will have to return
    to the real world

  • "Haiku: Rhythm"
             by Jay K

    my soul's steps follow
    dance, turn, twist onward with these
    tumultuous beats


    "Haiku: Burn: Smoke Part 3"
             by Jay K

    crackling heat reprieves
    dark memories drift away
    please don't mind the smoke

  • "Cry"
             by Jay K

    noises run through my head
    beating like the ocean's heart
    whispers from the voice of dead
    a sample of the devil's art
    louder, forever on it goes
    screaming in its silent torment
    drowning out the highs and lows
    a downfall, perpetual torrent
    useless, consistent struggle
    to catch sound in my hands
    even when there is no trouble
    a dragon ravages my lands
    swept away in a breath of fire
    burning on a soul-less ether
    the lady night walks a wire
    while I stand still beneath her
    the raging of an empty riot
    I urge true noise not to die
    for only when it is quiet
    can I hear my soul cry
