major misunderstanding

Posted on December 31, 2017 by jaybeasley2
many songs flow in my head
across the hours you are not here
jumping from one feeling to another
often as the wind changes direction
raising the bar more day by day
made to stare my faults right in the face
inside the mind of an underground king
staying as far away as outside thoughts
under the impression of being chased
not by a person but by a
dedicated ghost of unique creation
enduring another place i have lived that
really stirs up the spirits for me
some of which are going to remember me
then i better make sure nobody sees me arriving
after a weekend like that
near misses will never scare me again
don’t you know that
i know how very lucky i am
now that i have you in my life it
gets better each and every day

frantic doom night

Posted on December 30, 2017 by jaybeasley2
for the last day of the week
rolling up the sauce and
adding far too much meat to
nineteen minutes of the wait on a tomato
true that i would trade everything
in my world just to make you happy today
can you tell when i want your kiss
don’t even know how to let you feel
on the roof of my heart is the
open door for you to fly on in darkly
make like santa and give me something to unwrap
nobody does make me shake like you do
invitations to dance made me think of you too
got to be true to what you believe
haven’t been this glad with anyone else ever
this is the start of the best year to be

mighty determination

Posted on December 30, 2017 by jaybeasley2
might have known where
interesting nights like this
get a chance to lead up to
having made sure to not let it show
the ease of which i can
yell or let go of my temper
doing my best to not show
everyone here how deep my rage can go
there are people not ever going to
experience that side because i bettered myself
right where i am people know workouts but
maybe they need to learn fitness for the brain
identify the need to expand your awareness
now that you know to advance your being
assume nothing and take nothing for granted
the cold does not last around here
interruptions which choose the
only noise like a loud song on a bad stereo
now i need to say thank you

costume personality

Posted on December 28, 2017 by jaybeasley2
came from a place where
only the deepest thinkers can live
staying no place for long like the opposite of
those who only color inside the lines
underneath the table are
many scattered shoes and we
either play a game or are fast asleep
perhaps we might even
end the evening talking once more
regarding the choices we have like
symptoms of some future in mind
only if the sunshine comes sweetly
nobody finds a sleeping plant without effort
and you have poured water down my shirt
let us hope for all the fun
if we are there it is going to be a good time
take me with you when you go
you are my preferred happy song

several injuries

Posted on December 26, 2017 by jaybeasley2
some of the most amazing times
excite me because you are here
very happy that somehow you stick around
enduring each minute without you
reading that card you wrote me is hope
and each year i get better and
less stupid about my own life
introducing myself to
nineteen liquors give or take a few
jolted to a few moving parts of pain
understandably annoyed with aging itself
rich in companionship and freedom
it is the only thing that counts right now
each night holding your hand
still mornings with a goodbye kiss

ruined atmosphere

Posted on December 25, 2017 by jaybeasley2
red sky showing the final
use of mystic tools and
instruments of inspirational weaponry
normally calm hands shake
eager in anticipation of
dissolving resistance to the celebration
arranging decorations mentally
then quickly changing the idea
molding the discovery of a year unseen
open the door to
several directions of instant serendipity
pull out the shaker and give me some ice
have a tall sip and remember
empty glass like a politician’s eyes
red and glazed
every day a long long race

collected jungle

Posted on December 22, 2017 by jaybeasley2
curled up tiny bits of leaf
on the branch of a
large open and fuzzy green stem
letting the colors grow
every day bleeding into the room
cupping the air and
tumbling bloom once in a while
each one rescued to the
dedicated care of a chlorophyll zookeeper
jars that look like mummified cactus
unorganized moss that looks like hair
nine succulents looking like a frozen choir
growing in every direction
little concerto of a praise of water
each one a statue of peace

centered circle

Posted on December 21, 2017 by jaybeasley2
coming across records of
every time i made a bad decision
nearly lost my will to live for a minute there
then i just happened to run into someone
even more turned around in life than myself
right when it was an
extreme gamble to count on anyone
didn’t have a single doubt where she was
concerned
intimidation doesn’t work on me anymore
ready and willing to do whatever she asks
can’t believe i am back here again
like a kid with a new pair of eyes
entire days devoted to looking at you

feeling limitations

Posted on December 18, 2017 by jaybeasley2
finding out how you feel is like
every day a brand new life
empty like a room we do not
live in any longer
if you cannot control your mind
nothing will be a well thought out process
gifts of time become
little chocolates you get after every meal
inside i conjure up
my own tiny version of emily dickenson
invigorated by dark letters written in
the deepest shadow of night and
animals in the forest have more in common with me
than any one i went to school with
it is not so hard to be respectful
only you know all of existence is there when you
need to manifest your dreams you just have to
see how to live like you know that and live pure

shivering world

Posted on December 17, 2017 by jaybeasley2
sometimes a collected concern
has the ability to change how you think
included in a chance to see it coming
very much like something
everyone else thinks is scary but to you comforting
redefine the ways to get
inside the mind of someone close to you
narrow is a window showing
glowing light of the whole entire
world showing deep in the shining
of your soul
riding the sounds of a new imagination
let go of your past
do not predict the future
stay in the moment
