Girl
By Terrance
Jones
You are the
fluorescence to my light
I cannot
move-
To my left
If you are
not on my right
Girl you are
the love of my life
Everything
with you is so right
Down on one knee I just might
Girl you are the love of my life
Maze
By Terrance Jones
My mind is a maze
trying to get through life,
but I am stuck in my ways. My body is the temple
to my life. I resemble a young black boy stuck in the system.
It took me 18 months to get through my mental strife.
But I still keep that momentum of Army strong soldier on.
Jail is almost over yet I am still running, still running
through
this maze.
Looking back on my days spent, wishing upon a star-saying
I wish I was never so stuck up in my own maze.
White Wall
By Terrance Jones
White wall
As I stare
At this white wall
Cell
So small
This white wall
Cell
Only 3 ½ feet of 4 walls
Listening to the spit bare knuckle whistle
Bounce off this white wall
While I stare at this white wall
But he is coming home
He is coming home
Tomorrow
While I am left to stare this white wall
But he is coming home
He is coming home
Tomorrow
It makes life seem
So small
But there is life
Beyond this white wall
Blank Space
By Terrance Jones
There is a blank space in my life
Doing wrong
Sometimes mean being right
I learned that lesson of life
I am now doing right
But there is a blank space in my life
I came to realize
At the end of the day
There is light
So let life be the blank space
In your heart
To do right
For the ones who love you in life
There is a blank space in my life
I treat it as gold mental to do right by life
Because doing wrong does not mean doing right
True
By Terrance Jones
T is for true
and I am that to you.
I am sitting in my jail cell-
wondering if you are being true too.
I am so true
no person or thing is above you.
Letters and global calls are only reaching for you.
Your returning my calls love shows me how true love is for
you.
Be true
stay true so true love is true.
T is for true
and that is who I am to you.
