hope

Posted on October 8, 2014 by jaybeasley2

you said,
you told me how you felt
and the red
roses shed their petals
the tears of blood on the eye of love
comes to shed when times are rough
a taste of my low moments
have come to visit me again
and I am so surprised that
you ever wanted to give me a chance in the first place
because you saw who I was
and where I was from
the only thing that
I saw in you was
hope

tonight

Posted on October 7, 2014 by jaybeasley2

wishing across
the heat of the day
like waves of light
changing what you see
bruising your emotions
and giving your concentration a basting
while you come across a grilling
of my road
whoever made it, made it strong
I knew I had to cross the pond
might just not make it home before dark
but
though it is true you are getting ready
for church tomorrow
I am out in the world
saving the goddamn souls
tonight

yum sauce

Posted on October 7, 2014 by jaybeasley2

she saw
as I drift in
I wanted to get
the cinnamon in my nostrils
and another taste
of the duck that was
roasted and baked right here
I can admire the
fumes rising off the yams
and sweet potato with garlic onion
another bit of chicken broth
this pinch of fresh basil
and cheese, aged and smoked,
like your hug
like the slow stew peppers, hot,
a green leaf to set off
that plate of a palate chase
our desire
is a mix of recipe
and instinct
we mesh together
and baste
our tenderness accordingly…

untitled

Posted on October 6, 2014 by jaybeasley2

tasting sky
the jet black persona of night
is in every breath
and no breath is unseen
for the frost is everywhere
including the conversation
yet our ability to
have a bout of smiles
and a very well sharpened need
to use tunnel vision
makes everything that happened
around us just background and noise
because I am transported
to a far away place where I
only wish to
see you, hear you, touch you
even the distant echo of moon
could not distract with its
wide and shining
and brightly lighting face
as my wide eyes
take you in

glide

Posted on October 4, 2014 by jaybeasley2

gliding lighting on a cloud
of lower power and reflected lightning
a star fade that draws me in
unexpected as your face was again
seen at a
moment I never saw coming
adventures on a
pair of feet a thousand feet off the ground
a book that is
true that no person could believe
many series of our days
flow like this
as if a
tree at work to fight and climb and
accomplish as if driven to find
a sunshine glow
that saves a long good future
from unexpected turns
of emotional firestorms

morn

Posted on October 2, 2014 by jaybeasley2

I can draw the breeze
and I can close the forest door
and I can color the sigh
but I can never
put into words the overwhelming
feeling I got when
I saw you after
one minute of drinking water
two minutes of getting dressed
three minutes of drinking coffee
one hour of being with two
street kids in a fancy restaurant
two hours of travelling
in a beaten path in starburst dark
three hours of being
in bed without any sleep
but the test is
worthwhile because I wish to
be there
to kiss you as soon as you wake up
because the dawn is a more
majestic grey and bright orange horizon
with you in it

all

Posted on October 1, 2014 by jaybeasley2

longing for your touch
I travel out and about
to where you are, happily,
glancing about the sky and
making sure it will never
again be one single day
that passes between the
times I say to you the love
that endures through
all the distractions
all the mistakes
all the shiny rain
all the multiple invitations
all the late morning sleep-ins
all the longed for embraces
all the words dedicated to you
all the waiting for attention
let me show you what
this exuberance is
and we shall stay strong
and stay together…

i

Posted on September 30, 2014 by jaybeasley2

i cannot explain
unless i compare it all to sound
because our holding
hands while i give you time
is a litany of volcanic hymn
while the flavor of our
just letting the river of darkness
take over our car is
a beat shaking the speakers and
laying down with you for a nap
is the glazed golden voices of a
choir that grasps your mind
yet the best is when you
open up and tell me how you
feel and think
sounds like a classical start
of a song that enlightens
like the gates of heaven opening up
and a most holy
rain of notes
arrive like kisses…

Purpose and pleasure

Posted on September 28, 2014 by jaybeasley2

Playing on a lovely day
Using what is left of the light
Right when the storm is coming
Placing my hand on yours is what I need
Once I come back to the fire
Symbolizing our happiness
Evoking passion I can’t control
And it is far too long until
Nightly kissing will occur
Dimly lit bedroom
Putting my heart inside your box
Lips letting themselves rest on lips
Ending the sorrow we have borne
Awash in this togetherness sensations
Sometimes I think I should have pain to
Use instead of this purposeful pleasure
Relieving you of the downtimes you don’t need
Emulating the joy I waterfall on you

test

Posted on September 26, 2014 by jaybeasley2

don’t take it that way
it could only be me
but as a prank would go
you are scared of your shadow
blink twice and you can miss a ghost
or turn around at the right time
and you can catch a thief
but you don’t trust me
I am writer and my words aren’t yours
you don’t ever know who I am a poet for
and you have a handful of reasons to doubt
from your past as well as my own
and you liked me as long as
it was all for you and you alone
but now you second guess every song
and romance movies take far too long I gotta go
to show up and give you release
for the world is here to hurt you
and you never give in unless you give up
and I am here to make you not stop
and there is only one person who can speak to your brain
I used to care too much but things have changed
and you are as far away as
a champion criminal who saw the way
to get off clean
without the use of a person who needs you
but you just left and flew across
the country when you could
I am missing you even though
I am here in your apartment
with you…
