four in the morning i open my eyes
in time to hear the crickets and
nesting moon among the curling clouds
during my waking i can’t help but see eyes
introducing me to the hidden animal that
night has been giving shelter to
giant whiskers thata re al around a darkness
ash colored plants that whisper in tiny winds
crimson flowers that intertwine like a jungle when
there are shiny yellow eyes peering out
issuing out an occasional little growl
very sharp teeth with a tongue
almost fiercely running across them
these bits of light
inside the hnting grounds
occupied on a prowl like a comfortable cave
now i realize that beast is in my mind

tempered intensity

Posted on October 2, 2016 by jaybeasley2
there are some things i have
evidentially learned the hard way when i
must remember to not be too fun or funny
people let you know how much they do not like it
even when you are
really interesting and very exciting, they say don’t be,
end that idea
don’t be afraid to be too nice or too smart
it will help you in the way life rolls your dice
nobody tells you what you are worth
the wind of change
evicts all doubt in the direction of creativity
nobody is going to see your group of ideas anyway yet
sometimes you just have to live for yourself
“it could always be worse” is a terrible saying to use
things could never be better than they are now
you like my fun and want me around

helping hurting

Posted on October 1, 2016 by jaybeasley2
hurry every time i am headed to where you are
end the things that stand in the way
let myself believe that sometimes you think of me
placing your hand in mine
increasing the desire to be right beside you
now that nothing matters more
going inside myself and fixing the attitude and
having the belief that everything will be okay
under this moon which we hold so dear
riding on the back of this year’s shark
testing myself by going where i have never been before
insistent intense times like
needles that deliver the pain beyond relief when
getting sleep is a luxury unachieved

beware guided choice

Posted on September 30, 2016 by jaybeasley2
belonging to something
entirely bigger than yourself
wishing for an impact that can have some
arranged agreement with what should be put
right in this hurtfull time in the world that
every one of us
gets to experience every time we open our eyes
unless you don’t go out and see every detail or
in case your mind does not get the news
devoting an entire year of work is
effort that is just a beginning compared to many others
don’t let anything drag you down ever again
can you be positive in the midst of persuasive evil?
have you battled the depths of meanness?
only your own mind can make life better for
instances in the future when misfortunes become cruel
can you continue to be
everything you know you can be, yes and yes

In correct devotions

Posted on September 27, 2016 by jaybeasley2

in time, the problems that have
needlessly begun to worry all over you
can be dismissed in the freedom of
other social circles you never really cared for
revealed in these ill-connected words
rolling out of my mouth like dice well-tossed
empty brain barely even collecting the ears up
causing thoughts to crash together like waves
thundering around the walls of my cave-mind
during the night when a few questions
erode some willpower, taking persistence to a new level
volumes of writings that adorn the floor
old notebooks, syllables from a previous life
told by the red years to hang around a bit longer
in case a fire comes cruising in the door
only you make me feel a million feet tall
not worthless like everything else does,
sometimes it is ice, sometimes it is glass

portal to vanishing

Posted on September 25, 2016 by jaybeasley2
playing with emotions like
organizing the toys your pet adores
really taking into account other peoples opinions or
these feelings you stir up in the air
all around here when you act like you don’t care
little details will give it away
then beware what can happen to you next because
of how you have brought this on yourself
virtual as all the discomfort is
around the idea that you only feel what you show
not that you feel comfortable showing anything
if i was gone you would just keep going on
shouldn’t be any other way, really
how many times must the same mistakes keep happening
it seems as if you have not got the ability
nobody needs me now, so
going to give you my everything while i still can

sunshine smiles

Posted on September 24, 2016 by jaybeasley2

shifting from slow to fast

usually the way a sunset goes

needing to give in to the wanderlust

so that these normal days fade away

holding hands to

increase the heat

now why must my brain curse me so

every compliment comes armed with meanness

shy looks that make me feel you

mostly aching for your affection

in the minutes I stop to think once more

little doubts crushed by my commitment to you

each mistake I make is burned into my ego

should I ever need to feel better I turn to you

Drive the car

Like it is your vehicle of desire

And you know the road so well

And you will not be denied

While the day is ending

On a good inspiration to revive this

One correlation that so many hours

And weeks and months

Have been unknowingly building towards

I was on the way to my destiny

More than I ever knew it

Across the country is not that far

When you have gotten word of acceptance

And the one who is there for you is waiting

You are charging fast on your way

Even if the scars have not fully healed

But you know where you are meant to be

Nothing can stop the momentum of our past

Coming in full clash with our future

And fixing the best flow of joyful

Meant-to-be serendipity

Only you

Could have brought me

From the top of the mountain

To the beach and back again

And I willingly go wherever

The charm of your distant heart will

Lead while the sight of you

In glorious memory is like the

Reflection of the sum off of a mirror

In the times we got together

I see our touch as the electricity of

One light that leads the way to a

Entire megaverse of happy and connected

Energy which fulfills and places a

Desire to never be apart from you ever,

No matter what happens

Yet I know that both of our

Relentless interconnectivity

Will seek each other out even if the

Land should shift and the wind will rise up

Even if the manipulation of time and space

Can make more effort than us yet the gods

Who are on our side know that our

Two souls are gems that are paired

Together for all of eternity through the

Ages and beyond,

For sometimes two are one

Places Pushed
Back into the memory
Of an afterlife that we have
All the time in the world
Burning deep within our past
Like a fire, built out of every
Pinecone in the entire forest
Young branches mixed in the discussions
Of every touching moment that close ones
Have been around to have
But on top of a pair of eyes squinting in the cold
Is a whole mess of mop head that
The wind had the first hello to this morning
And does it appear amazing that I am
Completely recalling the night long ago
When we shared a blanket and
Watched the conversation move the time along
Wishing for the clock to stop
So we could stare at each other
And talk without worrying about the dawn
If you could put your hand on
Mine and remember the tides of
March that bring us together
Once more
