Under the lights
J J Wilson Jan 2021
Being is a clash of dance,
A lifelong pursuit of an
almighty stance
A game of chances. a game of dances.

Ramblings
J J Wilson Dec 2023
Welcome to a grand question
Look at your reflection
Try to have a go
Are you a true friend or are you a truer foe?

Christmas reflections
J J Wilson Dec 2023
Wishing you a merry Christmas
another year gone
somewhat tragic
still the time of sprinkled magic
what has gone you can ponder
readying for a new year venture with spirit and wonder

I hope your belly to be full with warmth  and rest
With joy and happiness
Saint Nick himself your gleeful guest
Love and family without fee
Then promise for the new year
We will wait and see
I always feel more positive at this time of the year with the festivities, friends and family. Going into the new year with new hope. Stupid or stupendous? As always.

Wars of the Mind

To have won is silencing yourself
Fighting the good fight from thoughts and self doubt

Do not judge them too much. They are what they know.
After dealing with many people over the years and not truly understanding the way they act

Accolades are worthless without adversity’s blessing

Stricken
J J Wilson Jan 16
Maybe love had borders. Maybe love forged grief. Maybe love forged grief so it could broaden its being. And maybe after its creation, Love would never have borders ever again.
Dwelling on a past year of grief and enduring it with some hope and stoicism

Good Gold
J J Wilson Jan 29
Life will no doubt call you and I thieves in the end. Love, cause and sunshine will be the gold in our wandering iron grip. Let it be worth all of the thousands of bitter arrows over time that pierce our beings.

Attitude is everything

The queen and the wolf
J J Wilson Mar 2020
Some believe happiness is the purpose for us to thrive
Like the impervious yellow godess amongst the hive.

Why not change the picture and the message sent
Like the Alaskan wolf gazing at the stars

Maybe it's time to be content .
Based on  the ongoing chase of happiness

The perks of hardship

Tell me,
If calamity never cuts you deeply
How will you ever know what you're made of?
Adverse times and different perceptions

When optimism is fading and hope dwells thin
Why not irritate the devil

The inevitability of the Universe taking a life
The futility of it taking the love

Tribus
J J Wilson Mar 2020
Three words beginning with L, starts as a grand story to tell

Break your demons for all things that matter

Lust, love and it is always the latter
For everyone fighting back against their demons and the ones yet to do so

Ecstasy

However trivial in front of time, pure moments of elation cannot be touched
take comfort in these immortal seconds
something they will always be

One fight
J J Wilson Sep 2020
Conquering everything that you truly fear
For everything you hold dear
It is the only fight worth fighting

A love to hold on to
J J Wilson Jul 2023
A notion of dreaming
To love and to crave
A fools wish
for sunshine resonating in a cave
A woman with an astounding glow
She grabs your hand and off you go
Whisks you away
Two high hearts floating to the scenes were bluebirds play

Dancing to the beat of this nostalgic reality
Losing yourself at the wild side of sanity
She ends it with a kiss
Tastes like medicine for the soul
My longing heart is wandering
For this she stole
I ponder if we are to meet again
her aura stays as she walks out of sight  
searching for impossible rays
I found a butterfly in the night

The loudest declaration
Without a hint of sound

'Hope never dies'

Sleeping Dragons
J J Wilson May 2023
The dragon in the dark
A long time past yet once a spark
Demons dwelling to feed on the lost
Prowling , jumping or startling at all cost
Lest they forget their place
Or the foe they have yet to face

The soul with a dragon on one shoulder
Dim and wild yet grown older
From what has been told
Darkness is yet to be fond of the bold
With it comes passion and fire
To radiate a path for all to aspire

The darkness bothered and fleeing
Wary of the flames and stance of this being
Never ending shadows
brought alive by a light  
The grandest vow
For the spur to the fight
The dragon in the dark
For an ever burning desire to break our barriers in life whatever they may be
122 · Mar 2020
Unsuspecting minds
J J Wilson Mar 2020
Loneliness, regret, sorrow and anxiety
Felt by the many
An abundance of variety
Stand up, join the line and revel in the madness
Maybe we are devoted to a certain grain of sadness

Odessey
J J Wilson Mar 2020
Come as you are,
make purpose the eternal hike, breaking a cycle of routine and plateau alike. Bring on the bad to bring on the growth, bringing on a passion to bringing on an oath

Come as you are, never losing hope, scaling mountains of the mind with spirit and not rope

Come as you are, opinions are not final, weakness turned to vinyl, flowing with energy  pure as dance, fate is yours if mixed with chance

Come as you are, to believe grit is adversity mixed with measure, as life is hardship mixed with pleasure,

Come as you are

A loss never typically marked the end
For those who do not break
Always choose to bend

The Climb

Give a human being a pure pinnacle,
a pure purpose and they will take on their demons with a spring
and the devil with a smile

Searching for Soul
J J Wilson Aug 2020
The scent of love yet to find, a constant essence, sprayed along  the heart of my mind
95 · Aug 2020
City blues
J J Wilson Aug 2020
The society war, the big smoke, escaping from the clouds, trying not to choke
Weekend tonic being ideal change spent
especially scavenging for a reality shapeless yet bent
Thoughts gather sense after the final savour of wine, pleasance in the air with everything dazed and fine
A sudden moment of immortal prismed bliss, an impression of Nirvana opening with a glance yet closing with a kiss
Pierced by that alluring cosmic sky, smokeless, yet still born from routine, not knowing how to die
93 · Aug 2020
Be wise
J J Wilson Aug 2020
If you exacerbate the problem you exacerbate the solution
92 · Mar 2024
Rest in love
J J Wilson Mar 2024
Some mystique plunder
A loveless life, little sense, no wonder
What is love if not clarity
Clawed back from the depths of disparity
What is love if not devotion
Setting sails on intimacies ocean
Being astray then found
Two souls on a high
With both feet losing the ground
The power of love
88 · Apr 2024
Green side
J J Wilson Apr 2024
My lovely London what have you done to me
Born on your lung
Carefree dreams while the timekeeper  swung
A life with you led by midnight questions and glee
I wish you answered instead of me walking home at three

For now I live on far away lands
With mi amor and these hardworking hands
I think there will come a day when we are one once more
Though I will not be the same man as I was before
I will daydream of you until this Tejas Sun must go
See you soon old friend
I miss you more than you will ever know
86 · Jun 2024
A life is wonderful
J J Wilson Jun 2024
When will you realize you have always been sunshine to many
The light for a few
Then in your hour of need
you are surprised to see a two hour long queue?

Apples of wickedness
J J Wilson Apr 2024
I allowed purpose to sooth my soul
Yet I allowed poison to play its role

I allowed pain to strengthen my life
Yet I allowed poison so it heightened the knife

I allowed poison and it hurt everything I cherish
I allowed poison so it had to perish

I allowed poison upon my shore
I allowed poison
Yet I will not allow poison to win the war

The Trickster
It is common knowledge that a dictators power does not lay in might or grit but in making fools of usual people. Taking not an age but a moment for the simple to become marvels and the wise to become history.

If only they could see this tyrant being coated by their smirks as division conquers their own. If only they could only see the frauds final smirk merrily given as they descend to the grave. But I guess that realisation will not matter. In that lies the problem. For the usual fool, it is always too late.

A toast
J J Wilson Jan 18
For we all fall down
So there has always been the broken  
Solace in the warmth of a hug
though no words spoken
For we all fall down
So there has always been the breaking
With no antidote closer
than a hand for the taking
