retreat corner

Posted on July 29, 2017 by jaybeasley2
revoke the desire to be alone
emptyness lives in my core
take the last moment to refine and decide before
ripping out the heartfull motivations
emitting the glow of someone who is cared for
admit that you are powerless in her company
tempt, yes, to be the only answer given
comments from one person are the ones that matter
opening my eyes just to make me smile at you
ready to do whatever you want me to
nobody stops the days like a perfect sunset and
every minute you think of me nicely
realize i cannot be without you

final realization

Posted on July 27, 2017 by jaybeasley2
forever the times that cannot be recaptured
in your memory may still have a home
not supplied with the reasons to
arrive where it is you are at
like a life you lived that is dead but now revived
recall a long lost story that meant so much
eager as i am to hold you
across the hours i have to
let my mind be taken off that particular subject
inside of my home is the two girls i want to see most
zoning out as i picture the four-legged one napping
as the sunburn fades on my darling’s shoulders
tasty little smooch that is like an energizing drink
if you knew me like you know that song
on top of a cloud i would ride all night long
nothing lights me up like your eyes

confirming date

Posted on July 26, 2017 by jaybeasley2
can the top of your mood be seen
or reached when you have a not too
numb moment and you finally feel
finding out why all the painful times are so real
include me in the plans you have brewed up
rob the song of that one final note
make every second count while you can
into the realm of mood trouble-shooting
not even the family gives a call when this starts
growing new roots out of the direction of ife
don’t want anything except
as much touch from you as i am hoping for
that would be a connection i could hope to have
each and every day

because why not

Posted on July 23, 2017 by jaybeasley2
below the surface the love just waits
ending a need to know if you even
can get the mindset that the warrior lives
after crossing the line between two tribes
unless you keep in mind where you are aiming for
shifting masks through the mission won’t be as easy
eventually people face that side of themselves
while these times go by
how much can you concentrate on what
you knew the week would end like
never let your guard down again
on occasion meeting defeat but not dispair
there is no brakes in this beast anymore

tested in flames

Posted on July 23, 2017 by jaybeasley2
take me with you please baby
everywhere you will ever go
sour like a sauce made of vinegar
that tastes good but you dont know why
eventually you wake up to find your life
daring the night to show you more fun
in case you didn’t know you were already drowning in it
nobody buys what the big robots are selling
finding the only way out of the system
let the air come in and open the door
and make peace with everything that can bother you
maybe you can find out where you should be at this point
everywhere i ever will go
shall you take me with you when you go baby

denied affection

Posted on July 22, 2017 by jaybeasley2
defeat is something which
even the strongest must face
not one person is really exempt
inner calm takes over
easy sips and long looks
drink deep of the river of time
and do not let others tell you how to group it together
for then you have lost the fight
find out how far you have come
exit sign for the season has lit up
can you look out your life’s window and remember
the problems others face are thier own
include both dark and light in all your choices
otherwise you may skip over
needed lessons

receive assistance

Posted on July 20, 2017 by jaybeasley2
ready to let you know how i feel right now
empty pockets just make it easier to travel
can the leaf on the river sense where it is headed
if gravity is a ghost it haunts birds the most
even the best beginning cannot avoid an ending
voted to have depression kicked off the island
eventually even the forests will age
across the land each road is longer
sorrow is dying like a plant in a snowstorm
silver shining of the watery window pane
if there was a way to show you my thoughts
sometimes i would take that risk
there are times that your life strikes you
and you come to realize
now each day is a gift unspoken
collecting moments we gladly spend together
exploring a joyful and unpredictable year

then escape reality

Posted on July 18, 2017 by jaybeasley2
that moment when we can shut out everything and
have some time to ourselves
either in this house or in this town
near the spot where the best times arrive
everytime with you is just like that
sharing random fun that astonishes
calling you every day after work
after you grow enough as a person you see
plans are not as important as creativity
every phrase a key to a door
read the words that remind you who you are
escalate and confirm the feelings that
arrive increasing our boiling temperment
lifting up my spirit like a released balloon
if you get rid of your stress than you can feel it too
there are days you know i need you
your touch is the power to heal

enduring temperment

Posted on July 15, 2017 by jaybeasley2
empty your pockets and get a bite
now you can put your feet up
didn’t think you would impress me to go out drinking
unless we had an agreement
right when the night gets
interesting i find myself all alone with thought of you again
never would have guessed where this would happen
get that sentence out of your head
three times this year we removed that fear
emptied your stomach on the parking lot
maybe was a little grateful i gave you a
paper towel and a safe spot to rest
eight different strong liquors all collided inside you
resolved to not do this anytime soon
make up a good reason why these mistakes were okay
equal to the darkness is the light of the next day
nobody makes me feel like you
teeth that are sharp, words that are soft

perhaps possible

Posted on July 15, 2017 by jaybeasley2
perhaps you just need to hear
on the occasion that life is being worse than ever
sit down and listen to the vitality inside and
strength will come to you from
every difficult time that didn’t break you
sometimes you have to power through
should the world just dump many troubles on you
energy and stamina are late to arrive
distraction comes from your own motivations
paving the way with the bones of your songs
orange sunsets like a memory supremely valued
shift the thinking to remove all stress and worry
should get worse before it gets better
it is true your soul is covered in armour
between us is the largest space
love is like a fire that is
empty of warmth without your touch
