In The Underground (Poem)
Lightning’s flying kites / Thunder’s hiding quiet / Drinking coffee at midnight / Throwing shade on broad daylight // Everything is alright
Originally published in my new book, Songs in the Key of Revolution: Mix Tape Collection II, Available now at Amazon.com Lightning’s flying kites Thunder’s hiding quiet Drinking coffee at midnight Throwing shade on broad daylight Everything is alright Newsroom’s spinning the truth Gold’s gone singing the blues Youth’s tying the noose Etiquette so uncouth Everything is alright Alright? Hate’s…

Reclined & Dimed
Fresh off the little black notebook this week ... NEW POEM "Reclined & Dimed" posted on my blog ...
Stop leaning on everything Gonna get yourself killed Resting the weight of your trust On inanimate energy at will Bear the burden of being alone Alongside everyone else Upright, child You’re not going to be A barista forever You know you’re destined For something greater It’s just a matter Of dreams between days May not be fame May not be fortune May not be exactly as Your bleeding heart expects…

Carpe Noctem (poem) by Jason Brain
Like sunset Our lives disappear Before our eyes Fading from vivid hues Into subtle shades We pass away Breaths like days ... #poetry #spokenword #carpenoctem
Like sunset
Our lives disappear
Before our eyes
Fading from vivid hues
Into subtle shades
We pass away
Breaths like days
One never strays
Nor evades
The reckoning
Of change
Out from darkness we are born
Between duality we live
Until silence returns, and
We are whole once again
Until sunrise, of course
Rue the night, sweet nothing
While you’re still alive
No time like now
Right?

NaPoWriMo 2016 #2: Rondelet
#NaPoWriMo 2016 #2: Rondelet
Rondelet
(AbAabbA/4848884)
Never the end
Flew cross-county to blaze trails
Never the end
Caught like shadows ‘round corners bend
We dream too fast, thank guard rails
Still, tomorrow always hails
Never the end

NaPoWriMo 2016 #1: Limerick
It's that time of year! Time to write a poem a day for all of April. This years twist? Each one's going to be a new form! #napowrimo Stay tuned for more new works all month long!
LIMERICK (aabba)
Write a poem a day, a poet decided
Each a new form his ambitiousness invited
Armed with Pilot V5
Journal paper quad line
He suits up for battle in scars unrequited

Drink Her (poem) by Jason Brain
NEW POEM! "Drink Her" by Jason Brain #poetry #spokenword
Drink her
Do not be afraid
Her power remains
In fear and love
Inseparate
Soak in her essence
Our skin moans like a sponge
Ready to absorb all passion
And be wrung in one felt squeeze
How one gives and another takes
For a muscle cannot contract
Without another’s extension
Expand love woman
I will contract
You’ve got life in you, lying dormant
Something I can only imagine
For I am only key,…

The Wild Hours (poem) by Jason Brain
NEW POEM: "The Wild Hours" by Jason Brain #springforward #carpediem
Capture the wild hours in little glass mason jars
Store them on window sills and the shelves of your bathroom
They are so few and fleeting
If you happen upon a few without mason jars handy
Use your wild arms and hold onto them as long as humanly possible
Just not too tight
They’re delicate, the wild hours
If you’re able to catch a few every week
Consider yourself blessed
You’ve put yourself in…

F*ck Me, F*rgive Me (poem) by Jason Brain
Check out my latest #poetry blog post, "F*ck Me, F*rgive Me" & stay tuned; trying to put out a poem M-F, but I ain't perfect. #spokenword
Fuck me
Forgive me
Just don’t expect me
To excuse myself
I’m human
I’m sexual
I’m fired up
I’m flexible
C’mon, fuck me
Forgive me
Sex me up
Release me
I’m ready to go
I’m rough enough
I’m too hot to hold
I’m just cool enough to handle
What does patience matter in the end
When you can leave everything unsaid
Forgive me
Fuck me
Give me love
Take me for granted
“But you’re a guy,” you say
And I don’t…

Little to Love Left (poem) by Jason Brain
NEW POEM "Little to Love Left" by Jason Brain #poetry #blog
Little to love
In all the wrong stasis
Like she forgot
There’s responsibility
In stapling two hearts
To one time line
Compromise and affection
Attention and conversation
I hardly get a demand now
Let alone a handful of touch
Like I’ve disappeared
From our relationship
And only my spirit roams
The halls of her chest
And it’s getting lonely knowing
You could care little less
And it doesn’t matter…

Scrutinize Routinize (poem) by Jason Brain
Escape routine
Carve new karmic roads
Pave creatively
Destinations determine the damage waged
Sun deserves your attention
Before night fall, if possible
She gave you birth before soil did
Pray she shines on you nightly
Where’s your getaway vehicle?
Stalled in the alley round back?
You better run fast, bank lost grands
And there’s no forgiveness in finance
Escape the mundane
Fuck the status quo
Go…

Lived Too Many Days (Poem) by Jason Brain
Lived Too Many Days (Poem) by Jason Brain ... "Pictures capture moments / Videos, the experience / Where do I find the feeling? / My ecstasy and pain lose luster / In memories left fallible by age
I’ve lived too many days
To have lost them, but
No trace remains
Pictures capture moments
Videos, the experience
Where do I find the feeling?
My ecstasy and pain lose luster
In memories left fallible by age
We’ve lived too long
To not know our own home
I’ve lived too long
To not know my own name
Fading away like night into day
So many pages to this novel already
And still so many chapters on the…

Under Purple Lights (Poem) by Jason Brain
Under Purple Lights (Poem) by Jason Brain ... "It’s Friday night and here I am / Sitting bar side / Quiet // Got a fire right beside me / Eyeing me up and down // Peripheral lust ...
It’s Friday night and here I am
Sitting bar side
Quiet
Got a fire right beside me
Eyeing me up and down
Peripheral lust
Likes the way my glass perspires
Under her cool exhales
Likes the way my lips soften
Into her gaze
What’s a man to do
But order another round
Under the purple lights
Of the local dive
In my mind

Until Then, Come Again (Poem) by Jason Brain
Until Then, Come Again (Poem) by Jason Brain
Taken for granted
Every day, resurrected
I felt you grace my sight today
Unlike before
With a touch I do adore
I let you in
And you were more than gentle
So soft upon my skin
So warm under my breath
I will see you again tomorrow
In the same place we met
Where time and space connect
Become one
For too long I have
Taken you for granted
Until next time
Come again

Remember 'The' Guy (Poem) by Jason Brain
Remember 'The' Guy (Poem) by Jason Brain "... And he was always tough to reach Always late to meet
Remember the day
There used to be
The one guy
And he was always tough to reach
Always late to meet
Had the only goods in town
And you get what he has
No matter what
You need
Remember those days?
Yeah, fuck those days

Closer Than Sense (Poem) by Jason Brain
Kink-xistence (Poem) by Jason Brain ... "The eye contact’s To make sure you’re 100% Human, not sheep
The eye contact’s
To make sure you’re 100%
Human, not sheep
The smile’s
An extension of myself
From across chasm of this room
The hug’s
Real, reassuring
I am 100% human, too
The fingertip’s
A silent request
To come a little closer
The whisper’s
To breathe sweet nothings
Inside your aural ocean
The kiss’
To hold your breath hostage
For one instant, for good reason
The mission’s
Always been, always…
