HARMONY AND HEARTBREAK

this was written for one of my closest friends, her name is kitty, and she's been going through a bit of a rough time

Harmony And Heartbreak

her beauty unmatched
the girl in my mind
it's a love that's just hatched
inspiration for rhyme

a beauty others would kill for
just to be by her side
merely watching her smile
as two hearts collide

a miracle at play
together we take the earth
with each other everyday
to long last hope giving birth

her eyes are all that are needed
to outshine the sun
casting their brightness upon us
with a smile and cun

butterflies fill my chest
every time i'm with her
as i forget the world and the rest
giving up my heart to stir

she has been hurt
so many times in the past
her body bruised and burnt
but the scars will not last

underneath her tears
is the strongest of wills
unlike any i've seen in my years
she has heart to heal

now i sit afraid here
of her returning to him
as yet again she sheds tears
for a guy who watches and grins

he has no respect
her he did not deserve
losing love, the concept
it's only ignorance he's reserved

i jut want her to know
that i love her to death
that's why when i see her cry
i start losing my breath

to see her in pain
has broken my heart
leaving me in vain
to pick up the parts

but now the choice becomes hers
which road will she take
the one leading towards harmony
or the one to heartbreak

LUNA

just a little over forty years ago, man first landed on the moon, giving inspiration for this rhyme

Luna

i continue to thrive
as i do what i love
keeping the flow alive
writing of the heavens above

gazing into the sky
a piece of rock in my gaze
an orb floats before my eyes
as i stand locked in a daze

it won't last us always
the beauty we can't recreate
but it will last in our memories
until we meet our fate

far off in the future
it will be our species home
as we move to other planets our culture
and explore the unknown

we are exploration in infancy
we have but barely begun
curiousness is one of our tendencies
out of many just one

just to land us upon it
was a leap on it's own
millions of miles away
so far from our home

the mission was dangerous
yet well worth the risks
leaving money alone and envious
as they watched the clock tick

then the day finally came
they watched on their tv sets
armstrong was his known name
the man who took the first step

it was the first of it's kind
never taken before
one small step for man
that will remain evermore

-Carlos "House" Gerardo

IMMORTAL

this one was partially inspired by the death of a family member

Immortal

unaffected by death
i only think of my own
the moment of last breath
on surface little is shown

so much held deep inside
it's so hard to make sense
puching my feelings inside
trying not to get tense

immortal are the thoughts
which come from my head
the feelings death's brought
often so hard to shed

from here to eternity
they'll be with us all
causing little serenity
as hearts continue to fall

immortality is frightening
for those who understand life
realizing little is brightening
when near the end of the knife

the feeling of forever
has always hit hard
softening the blow never
playing always the right card

immortal is a mystery
which will never be solved
forever part of our history
left for us to dissolve

existing always in memories
a long time face on this earth
a body engraved in history
until a stop comes to the clock

LIVE TOGETHER DIE ALONE

this poem song was written to tie into one of my stories that i have been working on for quite some time

Live Together Die Alone

we are living together, but we will die alone, by ourselves in a casket, burial place unknown

we lived through the carnage, this world had to give, most of us slipped, but few of us lived

straight through the bodies, the broken glass, we now look at this, as part of our past

forced to roam through this world, on two left feet, not knowing what's next, barely able to speak

we are living together, but we will die alone,by ourselves in a casket, burial place unknown

all of us look towards the future, but know not where to go, we have destination, but after where will we flow

i often look towards the heavens, but receive no reply, why has god if there's any, not let this world by

yes we were destructive, i will admit to that, but given more time, we would have demolished the fact

but now we're living together, and we will die alone, merely a spec in the cosmos, dead before we were known

BATTLE OF RHYME 10

alright people, once again i got into the game, and this time i'm up against an old foe, his name is Elder AKA jazz



Carlos "House" Gerardo Vs. jazz

******************************************************************************************

******************************************************************************************

Mine

now once again here we are
but it's a whole new game
as i'm raising the bar
and taking pride from ur name

well what do u know
u can only talk about fat
ur still on the same row
but i expected that

if ur guna battle me
u must give me the best of ur game
or i'll let my voice free
and put u to shame

hell "it won't be that hard"
like i should have done in the past
just watch me play the right cards
and you'll be gone like the last

******************************************************************************************

Jazz

im feelin kinda strange kause im talkin to a faggit
ur a fukkin turtle me? ima rabbit
ur still with the same old ass criticisms
wishin u were fine? homeboy y u wishin
take action homie..... work da fukk out
let me give u sumthing u kan rap about
i fukk hoes every day but i stay protected
u fukk urself everyday so heres da lesson
no questions!.... or fukkin autographs
nevr sold ma body but i sell ma photographs
never seen u as a threat ur like a fat puppy
i didnt say koala so consider urself lukky
me u kan say im da king of da jungle
ima damm leo juz like ma fukkin unkle
i bet ur a virgo kause u havent even lost it
i nut everyday n u know da girls kause it

hahahaha ima mudafukkin beast

******************************************************************************************

Mine

just look at u
taking up all my time
but judging by ur brew
ur just a dog spitting lines

so many excuses
they no longer makes sense
now i read ur rhymes
and don't even get tense

there are so many flaws
i see in ur rhymes
but to expose them all
would take to much time

don't you think it's funny
how u called urself a beast
but now ur down to a bunny
to other countries a feast

to me that looks like a downgrade
from what little u used to be
as i watch your rhymes fade
the odds grow better for me

******************************************************************************************

Jazz

the odds dont grow they only fade away
im krakkin up laghing for the da things u say
the reason dere flaws is kause of the beat
i used da one on my profile so take ur defeat
take ur last place trophy n turn oround
ur fat, white, ugly im joung, sexy n brown
now dont get sad turn dat frown upside down
kause im takin da mudafukkin 1st place crown
i didnt wanna hurt but i guess ill do it
i made ur ass fall in 8th grade u knew it
yo moma doesnt love u thas y she ran ur foot over
stop wasting MY time this kompetition is over
ur not worth ma time i got better things to do
like fukkin a hoe, robbing kars is wath i do
smokin a blunt gettin higher than a plane
ur ass is over i made ur ass a shame hahaha

*************************************************************************************

Mine

let me ask u one thing
why still reflect on the past
avoiding the future that's coming
because u know your reign will not last

more than a year after
you're still speaking of the fall
when i've moved on to greater pastures
defeated opponents, every and all

you think ur so slick
once again u bring up the fat
but ur rhymes make me sick
as i watch u fall flat

if odds do not grow
then u haven't got a shot
because those like me in the know
will only watch your rhymes rot

as i sit here
alone in my seat
i laugh and shed a tear
as i hear u talk about beat

u may have the beat
yet u have none of the lines
all u do is talk about my coming defeat
while u spit worthless rhymes

at least mine can hold their own
hell they may not be the best
but when it comes to the "pwn"
they stand out from the rest

so why don't you take
this one last shot
give up the battle now
and leave with what little u got

*************************************************************************************
Jazz

na i don think think so, my rhymes are klear
dont akt tough homie i feel ur fear
i know i bring the past quite often i know that
but it was funny watchin u fallin and roll back
out the desk, yes im da best
dont disrespect, or ill break ur neck
ha ur sill with the same old shit
i won this battle homie go on get off ma dick
but to prove a point i guess that ill say it
ima freestyle king bitch dere i said it
ur just a busta trying to get on ma tail
BREAKING NEWS... this fat nigga failed
his name-carlos... fat, white, boy
trying to beat da king is a fukkin myth boy
if i was u i wouldnt waste ma time
u aint nuthin homey, dont even got one rhyme
i got plenty.... i just dont like brag
hold up homey ill put u in a body bag
so lets stop this little worthless kompetition
i won aredy homey.... u failed ur mission

*************************************************************************************

Mine

very very nice
i will give u that
but my rhymes are precise
causing urs to fall flat

a mission is never failed
unless the other side has won
the darker outcome has prevailed
as one lies, staring into the sun

once again i find the humor
as u say u feel my fear
for i am like a tumor
as i grow, death gets evermore near

that's where your travels will take u
as u try to comeback at my rhymes
making them translucent, see through
as i continue the battle, wasting my shine

u say the battle's over
yet it hasn't even begun
you see i hold the four leaf clover
your chances against me are none

what is it i wonder
that makes u think u can win
could it be ur brains blunder
if so, forever will u lose that grin

i find it hilarious how u say
that i'm wasting ur time
yet by the end of my day
that's all u do with ur rhymes

every day it's the same
a threat, joke, or a spit
all the while destroying ur name
as i jolt back, lightning powered by wit

contradicting ur lines
with power inspired by Greeks
while removing the blinds
and watching my blots peak

now once more i ask
will u finally resign
or will u continue pretending to bask
just wasting more of my time

*************************************************************************************

and so came the battle's end

Winner: Carlos "House" Gerardo

Reason: Official Forfeit

DEAD SPACE

the world has been destroyed and one survivor tells the tale of the soon to be extinct race, it's name, is dead space

Dead Space

the year is 2265
i look up towards a blackened sky
what i see, it held lives
an aqua orb before my eyes

part of our past
but not of mine
i am among the last
of god's design

since the 2100's
the world's been dead
the bombs came by the dozens
right over our heads

we now live on the moon
the descendants of death
with our own coming soon
we cherish each breath

there was a point in our existence
where we looked up at the sky
but now we need assistance
for our food has run dry

everyday of our lives
we look back at a world we destroyed
stabbed by our own knives
by the bombs we deployed

our structures in ruins
it's trees turned to ash
any hope of return
gone with the first flash

despite unique features
our domination is done
millions of creatures
dead due to one

it was our very humanity
which lead to our fall
our world set by insanity
wars fought by us all

most were not ignorant
yet they still flipped the switch
passing by the warnings
as they watched the world twitch

now our last glimpse at life
will be the blackened sky
another stab in the back
as we watch the world die

FLOW

this is one that i started last year, but never really took the time to finish, and although i'm still not very satisfied with the end result, i decided to post it up, it's called flow

Flow

i'm almost drowned in a river of sound, i'm the only one around and the music's so loud

blasting in my ear, it's the only thing i hear, man it's been one hell of a year

we've all felt blue abused, and straight up used, all of this sticks in our heads like glue

it's only the flow which keeps us alive, as it beats unstoppable from the inside

always attempting to pick up the pace, throwing our actions right back in our face

but it all works out in the very end, always leaving with glory, and a brand new trend
