prepared evening

Posted on April 12, 2019 by jaybeasley2
permanent and hidden and frozen
right down inside the valley of
evenings we are lucky enough to hide away in
picking the exact few hours to believe
and the unseen forces were always there
ready times are preparing for the future and
energies have been constantly gathering
drawing out those who can feel change in the air
evidence of the awareness we all share
vital components which convey awareness and understanding
even the venom in a smile becomes obvious
not being confined or rewarded ever
in the culminating stage of development
nights like these have their own aesthetic pace
growing into the trance of a candle glow

shadow

Posted on April 7, 2019 by jaybeasley2
sure would be as unusual as
possible to have received
the kind of treatment
that happened and when you ask
that the ones close to you
have been able to be there for you
but in an unusual fashion
the way that they disappeared
was only so far from what was
you were always told should happen
and if
you can heal
but the hurt
the pain
the feel
the fight
and a wonder
a worry
and i do not want to die
unless i am in a place that
does not even know where i am
coming from
or my name

wintery displays

Posted on April 6, 2019 by jaybeasley2
wishing the placement of frost
is keeping us inside
near the heat of a blanket and
tasting a long summer smoked turkey soup
each hour like its very own national holiday
raising up just long enough to refill
your cup or update where the next nap begins
dedicated to giving you every last wish
insuring you do not have to do anything if you don’t want to
settling in to your own little comfy curl up spot
put your feet up and show your nifty socks
let the time stretch out like your ice cream snack
and have those yawns of afternoon be shared
you are here for me and i am here for you
staying here forever is my dream

perhaps functions

Posted on April 2, 2019 by jaybeasley2
placed in a town like a good time wandering
evidence of the unpredictability
right now seems so far from the past
having been on a crash course
and then just changing total trajectory
playing with my personal history
should i need someone then a different day will come
future me will be thankful that i do
unless the firestorm inside envelopes me first
none of this year feels real to me
coming face to face with so many memories
takes its toll on the endurance
it will not effect my timeline arc
once the generated display has had its day
now to avoid all these other little robot beings
so i can concentrate on our tiny homestead

transitional

Posted on March 30, 2019 by jaybeasley2
the choice is made.
the decision is struck,
the end of
outer layer assumptions
met a terrible doom.
there is more than
just a tide that is turning
it is an actual larger feeling that is here,
like the moon itself has halted its axis
for just long enough
to alter our course across the ocean of time
like a broken compass
that found a new magnetic draw
and it beams the invisible energy
to the overwhelming oncoming collisions
coming this year

song to a voyage

Posted on March 28, 2019 by jaybeasley2
placing your hand on the calender
to represent the change
which must have been there the
whole time but avoided like a hawk in the
meantime and always out there waiting with
a goal and a dream and nobody really
gets to hear you sing you just keep on
being tough and caring a whole bunch
and maybe even way too much but who
will be there for you when everything
crumbles and you fall through as if it
was more of a risk than you ever thought
because even a flower can be unwanted and
even chocolate can be poison
no matter what happens keep fighting on
with will so headstrong and nobody can
stop you when you know what you want

multiple questions

Posted on March 24, 2019 by jaybeasley2
marking the day to always remember
until the next time it needs to
let in a commemoration
the memories of those times were broken long ago
if t was just an opportunity that would be different
pleasing yourself first was what i assumed
like a person you have to ask to get time with
except when you have something to offer they want
questions that may not ever get answered now
untimely posessiveness that will never move on
entered into an agreement before it was known of
standard operating procedure for someone that way
that he grafted his life onto another like that
it is a whole new realization after years put together
on a charted path like a maze not revealed
now i can never ask again
sometimes i just have to know how it began

planning morning

Posted on March 23, 2019 by jaybeasley2
particular times make me wish for the past
like the sportscar years or the all-nighters
always drinking black coffee and
not getting up until i lit a cigarette
nine bottles a night was not a surprise
in fact all of my friends were in low places
nobody taller than a dime was a friend of mine
getting the next night’s beer was a
major priority around these parts
only those in the night shift do not think ahead
remind myself of tomorrow’s schedule today
names and dates never stuck around very long
inside my pain was a giving
now inside my mind is a fire
getting me motivated in a better direction

stray vilification

Posted on March 20, 2019 by jaybeasley2
stopping to think will not help
take action and just get it done
remain in no one place for too long
across days you have to keep trying
your end goal was always there
vibrant as a surprise coming over a mountain
increasing the drive and passion to grow
lifting each new experience to a different level
it really can change your life
find out where you really want to be and aim for it
inclined to be driven instead of giving up
can reveal what you really need to remember
and get you really up and moving
take a minute when you can and gather strength
in the morning air of chill or the dead of night
on the side of a mountain or down by the waterside
nowhere means anything without you

consistent twitches

Posted on March 17, 2019 by jaybeasley2
curling around
overly cold atmosphere of the night
near the tiny bits of light reflected off
snow and ice in a still and frosty
intermingling
so quiet that the movement which happens
takes and observing eye by surprise
as silent as a falling feather
not one hint gives away what is happening
those little shifts in energy can
take a whole new turn once it is figured out
wispy fog removing any sight in the distance
inquiring light dulled down to a hazy glow
thorny sharp white glare now diffused
culminating in subtle and mellow dimness
hiding movements in the murky gloom
expecting the captured moment to last
shining bright light only comes from your eyes
