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

Born to run

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 warrior
J J Wilson Jan 2021
A sea of adversity and whatever dwells deeper . Hades can ponder. Let it rumble and rise. Just for you to  make it crumble and fall

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

Rosy

When optimism is fading and hope dwells thin
Why not irritate the devil
To dare is to grin

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

The perks of hardship
J J Wilson Mar 2020

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

Without a hint of sound

One fight

Conquering everything that you truly fear
For everything you hold dear
It is the only fight worth fighting

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

The less you have

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

Woe is me, woe is you

Hardship is difficulty for all
Misery for many
A question calling for a few

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

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

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
48 · Mar 15
Rest in love
J J Wilson Mar 15
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

Apples of wickedness
J J Wilson Apr 15
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 poison did not win the war

The human spirit

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

Green side
J J Wilson Apr 18
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

— The End —
