ready to stop speaking

Posted on April 23, 2017 by jaybeasley2
reading into the
exceptional way that we want to decompress
as far away as the mountains are from me
driving to meet you as fast as i allow myself
your wishes are what i want to deliver
taking the path i think would be fastest because
of course i want to be there soon
sitting next to you all afternoon while
the tea brews and the room fades from light
offering the option of doing a whole bunch of nothing
permanent peace that settles on you like a snowflake
shallow pools of ice that wink at you from outside
playing games with the winking shine of lights
ending each day with you is the best when
all we have to do is get under the warm blankets
keep the comfort level just right
inside the hiding place for the evening
nevermind how many things we have to do tomorrow
get over here and under the covers and it all fades away

collected connections

Posted on April 22, 2017 by jaybeasley2
can you get inside any quicker than this?
orange rays fading into darkness above
little frosted tips of the yard then you stand on a vent
letting the warm air rush between your toes
even as you pull the socks up higher yet the
collar of the sweater tucked under your chin
tiny nostrils deeply breathing in
emerging fingers whispering into the sleeves and
directing the hot air where to go
curling your feet under you and the fuzziness
only your smile can bring me out of the cold
needing to feel you near to the high temperature cloth
nestled on the last two inches between us
eager little furry friend who yawns because
cuddles are the only way to end a day this great
taking a moment to be grateful for this time
instructing the kitchen whats going to happen
offering you that great sauce and noodles you love
nineteen minutes, give or take a few,
should have been here with you long before now

late night conflict

Posted on April 21, 2017 by jaybeasley2
letting the door stay open a second
as we kiss
then close up and begin the warmth
easing into the most relaxing time possible
nobody could disrupt our laziness tonight
it could be hours before we stand up again
growing more and more glad and
happy in our overwhelming not-tired sleepiness
talking with movements more than any words
connected like being each other’s power charge cord
optically we are locked in to the system and i will
never forget what you told me on christmas
from now until i get my last breath
let me never take any of this for granted
if i can i will be by your side
coursing through the veins of pure existence
tasting the time together

hot tea bath time

Posted on April 20, 2017 by jaybeasley2
how does this even occur like that
opportunity which collects our heat together as if
times when you wanted me so close
that i can practically taste the smell of you
empty bottles are all over the shiny floor
after the moon comes up we may go get more
but in the meantime kiss me
and make me forget what year it even is
take away all the grief i made friends with when
hope has jumped out the window but
time happens to make
intimate moments like cake everybody wants
maybe we could just curl up on the floor
end the minor disagreements cold has with us

thirty month puzzle

Posted on April 19, 2017 by jaybeasley2
today was just like the beginning
happy to be racing home to you as fast as i can
in time to swoop you up and
ready ourselves for another fun night yet
tonight is way off in the future waiting for
you to lay it out in front of you and
make it all your own
only the storm can see your actions now
not that we have ever needed anyone’s company
tough thoughts which see
happiness coming around every corner
placing your hand in mine electrifying my
underlying desire to do things to please you
zipping in and out of pausing times with
zero chance of
letting everything be left alone until
each piece of this day is ready

pain and romance

Posted on April 18, 2017 by jaybeasley2
part of me is so used to discomfort
and heartbreak is my most familiar pain
in the company of people sufferig through thier days
nightly questions that the moon will ponder
after we have chosen to greet the sunrise
nothing is as comforting as your arms
drooped around my neck
right when the perfect song comes on
only you can give me the true reassurance
making me stop thinking of depression and death
and at least get a good feeling to happen
not one time have i felt like you were
coming from far away to find me
every time we embrace i feel we were not apart

digesting blame

Posted on April 17, 2017 by jaybeasley2
don’t say another word
it isn’t time to be that honest
give me enough reason to continue right now
every part of my body is screaming to run yet
staying is my only option again in this
temperamental period of life
instinct creeps in around the edges of my thoughts
needing to let me know how painful all this is
gripping the connected meeting of life and love
burning a hole in my awareness and memory
letting me get a moment
awake and still dreaming
making up my mind
each day is now mine to waste with you

culmination

Posted on April 16, 2017 by jaybeasley2
while i talk
your direction and make as good a try
as i can do just like you don’t see through
after the hard times passed and we
make it to the other side together
across many of a collected cheese, chips,
and forgotten juices, mixers, and loud songs;
as if a hot day and a cold drink when
your thoughts culminate in friends
coming to gaze at the very same table
that we made as all corrected faces
compose themselves as a better year
when we have to forgotten each other
and almost feeling the branches grow
on each other all together all in a row
just go ahead and
put out there
what it is that you know
because we got a whole future getting ready to flow

make it

Posted on April 15, 2017 by jaybeasley2
every day is a test
every life has its challenges
when you have come back to a
set of circumstances that you recognize
you can have belief that you will perservere
because you have learned much since
you have been here before
and the road is not the only thing that
has been run over before
you have strength even if you do not feel it sometimes
you have abilities even if you do not feel like it
find your best way to recharge your battery
and never forget
you are the connection to the energy flow
and always remember
there are people you inspire
even if you do not know it
and the tallest tree in the forest may be power
yet was once a tiny seed

insistence

Posted on April 14, 2017 by jaybeasley2
after the “once upon a time” you dreamt
up while we were or weren’t here again
but now onto a mountain you grow slow groove like
maybe you knew you were or weren’t supposed to
be coming
over the times listed the person and where they
were meant to go and be
whenever a modern likeness has
shown you whereupon the elevator was and
“only” was a word we endured as well as “should”
on the roof in the basement or out by a park
not a single time we went out and i doubt you
of an often leaning tower of
meaning to be there or a
should have, could have, would have
type of late night free style
that gets there
but then
beware, beware, beware
