"I filled the night's chalice with knots of desire..."
For you have set my untarnished heart on fire
"I learned how to live unkissed, until" we met
Now, we dance all night long, a romance duet
"The moon is an honest Manipulator"
Gives us away with its light, like a traitor
"It's raining roses and love riots" tonight
Together, we make an enviable sight
I'm the passionate pulse that beats in your veins
Wholly yours to explore, 'coz you hold my reins
The midnight stars groove to the rhythm of our souls
We are in a place where amour, us controls
Let's share our ardency with milky moonbeams
And with the sleeping world, our soft stardust dreams
Hands joined, lives intertwined, we will never part
For you and I, we live in each other's hearts...
Let me pen "verses in the ash" for you
With the embers of our passion fire
Take me to "where orchids dream..."
To where clouds wear a rainbow halo
To where the Zephyr kisses the cherry blossoms
To where fairies drink honeysuckle dew
To where weeping willows laugh
To where your love finds me lost
"Trapped in your pulse", let me tap
to a slow salsa,
rhythmic and romantic just for you
"I am the asylum of your ache"
I hold you captive with my charisma
You are the shimmer of my sunlit soul
You are Aurora's aura
in my kaleidoscopic world
With crab-like tendons
you crocheted your way into my heart
You are the song of the cuckoo afar
Who brings good news through her music
I am the bright butterfly of your benevolence
The humble hummingbird sipping our love nectar
The Angelfish gliding in your ardency
You are my magnificent Muse, moving me
with your metaphors and majesty
I am the ruby ring on your finger
Reminding you of our precious promises
~ Let our love rise immortal as Phoenix
from these "verses in the ash" ~
The silver moon rises full
in a benevolent glow...like a lamp
hanging from a ceiling of stars
and lights the stairs through a window
as we ascend to another world
filled with candles and fresh-cut roses
awaiting our entrance to this romantic realm
where we'll light each candle
so our hearts can see the intimacy of stillness
in our eyes
You slowly cross the room
and I bow to the fluid movement
of each curve of your body
your hands moving as if spinning a lover's web
my breath is captured, my eyes are captured
by a symphony of motion
tethered without fear to candlelight shades
that becomes a silhouette on the wall
in a timeless serenade of ardency
found in our moment of truth
where love abides by the shared silence
of devoted affection and dreamy misty eyes
draped in a scented balm of roses
that look deep into the soulful eyes of a lover
seeking the river of sighs
that flows under the bridge of trembling hearts
nourished by the emotional streams of love's existence
After the day's work, he returns home,
She waits for him under their love dome
With open arms and a charming smile,
He knows she will make his time worthwhile,
Passion ignited with a love touch,
She responds with ardency as such,
Discussions forgotten, desire reigns,
An intense fire of fervor remains,
Murmuring sweet nothings in her ear,
He embraces her, she holds him near,
Hands feel, lips meet in deep affection,
Hearts join in a unique connection,
Whispers of love, a kiss in the dark,
They both can sense that intimate spark,
Jolted by that electric feeling,
Aroused enough to send them reeling,
United both in body and mind,
Sated with love, they lay intertwined,
For husband and wife, a life content,
To be with each other, they are meant.
soiled messy heart
One step in a soul's journey through the universe"
Inspiration feelings emotion passion darts
soiled messy heart
Filled up in animation intensity fervor
Ardor mine soul so dirty
soiled messy heart
Enthusiasm eagerness warmth fires energies
My spirit vitality vivacity
soiled messy heart
Spiritedness commitment
Fervency ardency intellectual energy or intensity
The spiritual or immaterial part of a human being
Elohim Father has now cleanse me
I am clean of mine once…
Soiled messy heart

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
What seems now old
Used to be utterly new
What was previously told
We cease to over chew
*****
All that is old hold a treasure
If only we all knew
Just weigh and measure
Under the veil a unique hue
*****
Out of memories we grow
Been taught lessons to the bone
We do reap all that we sow
And for wrongdoing we atone
*****
Pleasure and pain what we gain
In a life not taken for granted
Who can stop time or rinse rain
Or suppress anger that should be vented
*****
Life will continue to hurt and heal
Vomit its villains to mould the meek
Send its saints to instill ardency and zeal
Never always the ones at the wheel
*****
Deeply inside my prayers I recite
To always endurance and faith embrace
Be human of worth, decent and upright
And paths that stain never retrace
*****
A great depth of gratitude to God we owe
For both strength and forbearance
For age that vigorously flow
And for the gift of Love in abundance
*****
An abiding passion for her Majesty the word
Delving into my smile and feel would draw
The music of heart in verse softly whirred
My poetic human soul imbued with awe.
Mystique in that smile,
Ardency in those eyes,
Delicacy in porcelain skin,
Honesty in her voice,
Uniqueness in her spirit,
Soul in her passion,
Mystery again in gestures,
Intricacies in her flaws and perfections,
Tenderness accentuates in all of her,
And again, her madding Mystique.
She is ‘life’ in the strength, as of Earth,
She is ‘pulsation of ardency’, a woman of worth,
She is ‘harmony’, as of the timeless spheres,
She is ‘stories of deliverance’ from pain and fears,
Through waves and seas of uncertainties,
She is ‘nurture’ amidst adversaries,
She is ‘battle’ in her wars with chaos,
She is ‘warrior queen’, majestic in her ethos,
She is ‘swag’, she is ‘attitude’, she is ‘fire’,
Yet she is ‘calmness’ and ‘throb of desire’,
She is ‘madness’ in the caprice of wisdom,
A motive, an impulse, a beauty in motion,
She is ‘heart’, she is ‘warmth’, she is ‘hearth’,
She is ‘vow of oath’ that only death can part,
Yet, she is ‘symphony’ of eternal love songs,
She is ‘force’ and ‘vigour’ in souls she belongs,
A thousand lifetimes would echo still,
She is ‘woman-beautiful’ driven by will.
The end of another year of much uncertainty
As we sifted through mounds of propaganda,
Watching folks line up to espouse their ardency
The end of another year of much uncertainty,
Many vocalizing without a smidgeon of courtesy
Apparently, some did not get the memoranda,
The end of another year of much uncertainty
As we sifted through mounds of propaganda.

I sweepingly meet the slope to face with utmost reality.
There are a lot of glorious deeds for which we are careless.
It's viable to espy, as often as you sense fraternity.
While the rest of the local hut yearns, we are peerless.
Elements that are all around us for a convenient setting.
Being a piece of a visible world that is constantly shifting.
Aiming for a genuine feeling of bearing and mutual safety.
Having a feeling of mutual comfort and moral stability
Since we've risen dutifully and moved forward as a group.
Despite your prime motive for being closer, it does not dupe.
A particular pair of us spurring with a significant deal of ardency.
Others, then again, tacitly allow it to happen, sit aimlessly.
Gleaning to support any kids, we should hold them a prong.
Aiming to convey to them a prevalent belief of good and wrong.
Otherwise, this way, I'm gently moving to undergo the stress.
Everyone promptly settles on typical speed and cadence.

Tell me to whom shall I entreat and fall down on my knees
To beseech lenity ; to cry for impunity
To implore for the salvation
from the bane of infernal love
from the pain of bruised heart
To plead for the freedom
from the subjection of fervent passion
from the servitude of unrequited affection
Alas! Who to blame
When I was the one who forged the bond
Stippled the shackles and soldered the chains
To build my own cage
If only I knew
That one innocent smile and the unsullied glow of your eyes
Would, day by day, weave a web around me
Would ensnare me in the hooks of ardency
Should've severed the chains
Should've cut the threads with my own hands
Alas! Too late
Please tell me now to whom shall I entreat
And fall down on my knees
To beseech lenity
To cry for impunity
You or me?
i have this really bad habit.
i’m kind of like a crazed rabbit,
hopping between passions
and desperately seeking ardency.
i have this really bad habit.
i hold myself back,
fear letting myself be seen
because i’ll never be able to heal
from the inevitable sting
that comes from being kicked in the teeth
from reality.
i have this really bad habit.
when i reach out,
heart blinded by wide-eyed sincerity
and hands open to receive any grief,
i’m met with a
‘no, thank you’
‘i can’t ruin you’
‘this will break you’
‘you couldn’t possibly understand’
I had these really bad habits.
But, I think, I finally understand.
I may carry my heart on my sleeve,
Pursue big dreams that may seem too demanding,
Lead with little experience,
But I am doing everything to stay true to me.
A version of me that you may not appreciate
But that’s okay,
Because this is for myself.

When I first set my eyes on you
I felt I have know you quite a while
Showing good signs of ardency love
A perky girl like that left me out of word
You are my best friend
And you gave me reason to smile
In the broad day light it me and you
Who would have thought we would best partner
You listening to me in all circumstance
I tell you my life problems
You know me better than anyone
My life frailty and feebleness
Thanking they lord for today
We started this love like play
You unfurl my life to excitement in every week day
Even everybody are copying our love style
You are my angel am just a wonderer
Who blessed me every day if not you my a angel
At eventide light slowly fades
A curtain of darkness descends
Pensively I reflect on our enduring ardency
Wonderstruck still at the miracle of reuniting
A veritable lifetime thereafter
That fleeting relation in our minority
Enamoured by your gentle comportment
Exuding puissance and love eternal
Virtues countless as the stars aloft
Omnipresent tenderness from your supple lips
My love for you forever bounteous
The universe has bestowed your being upon me
So together we may flourish as one
My gratitude shan’t ever diminish
desire
fond, urgent
yearning, pining, craving
a hunger for love
need
need
hopeful, expectant
hankering, wishing, wanting
longing for passion’s ardency
desire
