inside the city blood

Posted on February 13, 2016 by jaybeasley2
in the backyard saying hello to the stars
nightlights underneath the snow glow
sometimes the breath is seen and in the
interest of stealing a minute it becomes a dream
directing me to seek a silent moment of darkness
eventually you have to feel the moon shine
tonight i will make this air sing
hold my head high as i laugh
equally glad and thinking as i sip
coffee just to make my insides warm up
if we could i would fly us to warm beaches tonight
these days we stay where we are the most comfy
yellow candlelight is flickering and soft
because i want to be near your sleeping form
letting me finally wind down and rest
on the occasion of our hibernation beginning
our space is in a shared calm
doing the favorite thing of sharing time

vowel and song

Posted on February 12, 2016 by jaybeasley2
various times we went through time
on the steps leading to the mountain
when you thought you knew me
equal to our magic numbers and letters
let me show you the rooms of my heart
after the moon came up
nothing was as recalled the next year
doing it as the trials of this month covered us
sounds that rise into the clouds
only these are a final acceptance
not a thing disturbs me today
getting away with you is all i need

life in convenience

Posted on February 11, 2016 by jaybeasley2
letting go of a time
in a period of need and without a second guess
follow the instincts
enter each day as if you still do not
increase a need to devalue this part of each one
near you if they are unwilling to say everything
costing yourself friends is not worth the truth
on the occasion of a hidden tidbit coming out
names and faces will just get lost in the
very distracting shuffle of years anyway
equally as confusing as trying to predict the weather
nasty attitude can change even the best holiday
increase a need to value each part of you
endless as a blink yet fast as a clock moving
no place on earth is as good as the spot next to you
causes of happiness are less important than the effect
evidence of the impact you have on me is
so obvious to anyone who knows

lost distant horizon

Posted on February 9, 2016 by jaybeasley2
Leaning out the window
over the edge looking forward
seeing what you are aiming toward when
tiny trees and rocks aren’t close enough for
details that can hide this direction of
investigation as far as that mind can see
sorting out these facets of light in your eyes
tasting the air with the cold breeze in it
allowed to find a final thought progressing
never give in to a bad moon riding high
there is more at risk now than there has ever been
hope isn’t hiding, it is eating at the table
order has become disorder’s new best friend
respect is not a plant that grows around here
inside the locker of davy jones there is a lot of room
zones of activity and almost endless dark depths
on the opportunity for any discontent happening
not distance or disillusionment can overpower thoughts of you

night blessings

Posted on February 7, 2016 by jaybeasley2
north of the sun, south of the moon
inside a collected couple of conversations
getting the feeling around the final corner
hearing a future before it has even happened
throwing out these ideas we completed
bringing a brand new you out from under the skin
like a lizard growing younger and older both
equal amounts of passion and detatchment
stringing along my own array of discomfort
singing whether or not i am going to be mocked for it
instinct can be a very powerful motivator
none of the past few weeks are what i anticipated
growing wiser with each new experience
spiritual scars that can always heal

poke an offer

Posted on February 6, 2016 by jaybeasley2

places we have been the most

on the occasion of our behind-the-scene

keeping a secret and creeping around a corner

every day like a test of patience and will power and hope

and make sure we are on the same chapter if not the same page

now I can see you getting less doubt as mine grows

open up to me and show your true colors

from the times you hurt and your mind will ache and

find the buried treasure deep within your soul

every choice decides your future and makes clear your path

realize you are the driver but not the road

less than a few dozen

Posted on February 6, 2016 by jaybeasley2
lower than the sky but above
every bit of ground around
stalling before the explosions of fun
sincerely begin
taking time to enjoy the calm that
happens before the storm
aware that all of life is finite
naming this occasion
after a holiday from history
found underneath the memories that were buried
eventually there will be a pause
when the past will no longer matter
directly related to how things go now
only when we think and are made honest
zones of time that are making themselves obvious
ending a few final questions
need the rest but want the fun

morning lullaby

Posted on January 30, 2016 by jaybeasley2
making the system known
organized as a piano dropped off the roof
reading these thoughts before you get them
now that a storm can show the true colors
if you were not
needing to recieve a collection of little kisses
get ready to have your mind changed
let the drapes be opened and the sun shine in
use the tools given to you by nature itself
let these changes of time be
like the shifting of the seasons
and when you grow up you are relieved winter exits
because you are looking forward to next years rain
you and i can face anything together

frosted windows

Posted on January 26, 2016 by jaybeasley2

Forgetting that not everyone is
Righteously immune to this biting chill
Opening the door. No coat.
Standing there as long as the nerves allow
Tiny shivers that destroy your hard-headed mindset
Equal parts motivation and determination
Doing all the things that the past had left out
When people were forced to fight for life
In the dead of winter we all struggle with back then
Needles in the cold feeling of dread and dismay
During a furious moment when
Orders came in to cut this way to real freedom
Working every angle to break through
Solid choices we all face

determined wilderness

Posted on January 23, 2016 by jaybeasley2

doing all that you
ever wanted when it comes to
the future day before the year really
ends and begins all at the same time
right when you think life is decided, it
makes a move that is sure to surprise you
in a cold dark night or in the bright of day
nobody can tell you for sure what their future brings
even a true psychic can be surprised
dark forces, demons and spirits, angels and ghosts
will all seem believable once you look in the eyes of
intimate wilderness
like the abyss of any spiritual imagination
don’t doubt the instincts that you feel
empty your mind and see what you experience
relating to whatever your heart needs
narrow eyes and a growl from the clouds
evicts whatever internal dialogue exists
stopping an outside world for a few hours
sigh like the forest in a calm warm blanket
