as you sleep I can
always tell about that moment
that you start to dream
an into the next passage
as a way to see across
the clouds and glowing sunbeam heat
to where the warm has gone into a day
a catnap, a moment, an all night snooze
that was so easy to relax in,
a prior state of no moon
for the dark when you close your eyes
and the grasp on that time
the chance to curl up and
your peacefulness grows
and you know too much smile glimmers
in the soft light from a
string of Chrysanthemums Christmas lights
stuffed into a fireplace and making
the scene of a few fairies and fireflies;
when morning comes
your feistiness and
lightning electric filled eyes
rise up slowly…

Posted on January 23, 2015 by jaybeasley2

the air is getting warm
and the sun is down but the fire is on
and he thinks the thoughts
a slow minute before speaking
I have been wilting on a shelf for so long
and a few moments more won’t hurt
I can see the leftovers making
a new home in the refrigerator door
and I have poured the last glass of wine
I’ve even counted the minutes until midnight
and I see a sliver of a moon
I have counted the number of bullets in the house
there are willing hands at the end of these arms
no matter how sore
and you cannot taste the night sky
until I have manufactured a way out of here
and for once
he sees into the
eyes and sense of his past close ones
who were somewhere just like this once
and he is
experiencing the view of a same time
exactly as a mind must perceive it
and the red sauce has all been gone and ate
and only so many hours
before it will all fade
away

pronto

Posted on January 22, 2015 by jaybeasley2

if I could have
delivered you from your
biggest worry and
make the day all come forward
to the point where you finally relax
and make an assurance
that we are going exactly nowhere
and you recognize where you want to be
after a few glorious sunbeams
and a hundred or so
breezes that come up a forest hill
but soon you picture yourself under blanket
reliving your flower of last nights cocoon
plenty of the gain of no muscle usage
in a tiny set of wings that often flutter open
but for now the rock of not much body momentum
is what needs to be
and another quiet voice begins singing
the slow slinky tone of
each and every of tomorrows yesterdays
beneath a quest for silent naps that
register on every scale
and grow so many levels
that every minute of valued deep
tasty lovely sighing slumber…

halt

Posted on January 19, 2015 by jaybeasley2

to reveal the intensity
of the day
cuts across the ideal of how you
can be so incredibly vain and not aware of
the last bit of suspicion as if a tree
abandoning its leaves is surprised once again
even though it is the same exact day as last year
you must at least realize the
groping that you do will be what causes your
inside the car voice to be left
behind as the hot face of the sun is how it feels
and your temper brought on the bite
of a snake in the bed at night
unless a bag of ice arrives before morning comes
it is time to move on but
don’t worry because I know
winter is coming and the ship’s sail
is full and the cold is going to be
a very long and a very hard one
to take…

you have gifted me
with your presence
so now I cannot hear
certain things without
thinking of you, our only time
apart is when we sleep
when we are
in the same home;
even then it doesn’t count
because I am in
you arms and you are in mine
& in our dreams while we
kiss and taste the finest moment
that ever was,
among your smooches
I tell you how I missed you;
it is the gift I give
you to see the insides of my
mind, when you feel woozy
and lightheaded from the
intimate moments I know we share,
a free flowing fireworks show underwater.
I wish we met sooner,
knew each other since high school,
but everything has to start somewhere…

any

Posted on January 18, 2015 by jaybeasley2

can you be here?
please just be by my side
and show full support
maybe just for one night
be supportive of every decision I do
and every mistake I make
like I have done for you on so
many occasions that you don’t really recall
and I just felt reality cracking
and crashing down on me
once the disbelief in a night of
you being by the table and
looing at me like I am a very
deserving person of your
time and your devotion
but who would be surprised
that we are on the same team
and on the same page as each
other once I get you
home so why doubt any
of our closeness anymore
and who do you think I am
why would I do this
unless I could be with you
forever
anyways

hm

making sure that
I get in one really good
long prayer to be safe
before venturing out
because I have gotten far
on foot and know that there is even longer to go
before returning home
the talk we had was very important
and helped the status
of my pondering thought process
and I haven’t got that long to
wait before a vital decision must be made
the sun has gone behind the clouds
and the coolness has broken in just now
and I know how much it means to you
to be there when your home needs you
but I am alone again
and waiting on a very close friend
to let me know it will all be okay
no natter how unbelievably
frustrating was this day
and tonight may be just
as much so,
if not more

often

Posted on January 16, 2015 by jaybeasley2

like the sunset spawning
watching my light come in, and
watching my life evolutonize
as the music has been doing
to sway the votes in the right direction
and this is the hardest council that any speaker ever faced
through power lines and shady trees
we can see the road out of town from here
and nobody has a big enough opinion
to take away the need to get
a good night alone with your
ever blooming jungle house with every
cactus and succulent that ever grew a leaf or swam in the ocean’s breeze
but sometimes the keys don’t work and sometimes the
watching and judging eyes aren’t as amusing or apparent as
every perceivable cut can grow a new scar or three
and the last night or three has gotten away from us
but you will be here any moment and I
am willing and able to do anything you want to
from now until
our eyes close so slow
our thoughts and mouths cease
and our minds drift on to the effortless flight of dream
riding waves of clouds and finding
these places to drift to
and our hands are still holding…

lone no more

Posted on January 14, 2015 by jaybeasley2

awake
brooding and piecing together
the course of action for
today’s festivities
upon the open floor plan of
a million and one seconds
this day will consist of
before we return back here once more
the stillness of the air outside
and a lunar darkness that
rides the wave of chill
right up to the frame of the door
silently letting me know that
we are trapped inside here for a while
and there is no reason to be
anything but immensely grateful
for you and the fact that
we were close to each other so long ago
yet so many miles and years are gone
and here we are being close again
the best is yet to come…

electric

Posted on January 13, 2015 by jaybeasley2

waiting
for hours by the phone
in hopes that you can resolve
the problem of my advice unheard
I have been so long away
that I learn even less every day
about taking my own time
at the lessons that we have been hard to believe
and even less easy to see
and the wind is not cold on my face
because I can only feel one thing
the cherished time you have given to me
after the year started
it all seems too important
to hesitate any longer
and I am no longer willing to put up with
looking out at the frozen lake
of my patience
while I have begun to repeat the action
that allows me to avoid
making this mistake,
or any other,
ever again…
