Come closer to my beating heart
Your concern for me is quite enough
I thank You that You care for me
I thank You that You give me love
I'm strong when in Your presence
Those that are weak can only hope
That some day they'll be in Your arms
No longer feeling without hope
Sometimes when you cry your Heart;
Sees better!
Just a heart beating Just a soul breathing;
Just a mind seeing Jesus;
O' What a friend indeed,
He chose me so !
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
So in my free will;
I must be still;
as I walk in Him;
I am a new creation cared for and treasured;
I am the Righteousness of God;
I am His breath His Light;
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
HALEHJAUH I am His beating heart His breath of life light
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-
BEATING HEART I AM HIS BREATH OF LIFE LIGHT-

Stones in motion
A valley trembling
I see the notion
An ever ending
Has there been rest
It is still pending
When it arrived
I stopped pretending
I take a breath
The sun is shining
The sum of all fears was
My ever lightning
We are just
A lightyear apart
And I feel in my heart
That tomorrow
Brings a new twist
That the old days
No longer endure
I've been there before
This is nothing new
Was there a cure
That we barely knew
The signs they were true
The echos start trembling
The thoughts are assembling
So when we are through
There is a new morning
The ever after
There is wisdom
And there is laughter
So much still hidden
So much we barely know
And what was forbidden
Is now there to show
We have to be patient
A change comes in time
The older they knew
From hard work came grime
I take a breath
The sum of all fears was
A lightyear apart
Now I caress
My ever beating heart
In my heart my soul so beats my Father God so made me sweet

I recall how we once strolled
together; how our hands met,
firmly clasped, yet gentle, as
would two puzzle pieces we fit –
Saw the greater picture...the
landscape mountains, then down
life's slopes, our sparse valleys
far greener than others for the
closeness we shared. We were
a true panorama when it came
to matters of love. No Gable and
Leigh~ just real, from head to
foot. Alive with all scents of
leisure and labor, the pungent
aroma of the many worldly
atmospheres inhaled, we moved
as one despite their differences, never
alone even when briefly parted.
Time, of course,
is merely, a soulless counter...
oblivious of human passions
unregulated. Oh, to give Time
a beating heart! Then love would only
start, start, and start....
I call my apartment (my home) my nest,
with this and that collections and beloved stuff displayed:
Oh, when within my nest I am not stressed,
where my art supplies, books and papers are arrayed;
and it is a place where my soul- can rest.
There is a beautiful kitty that waits,
when I open the door I get meows, kisses and love:
I dread the day heaven opens the gates,
and kitty walks over rainbow bridge to above;
so, amazing the special love- life creates.
Often, I don't want to leave my nest home,
so nice to listen to quiet music, to draw and write:
In my home library I love to roam,
with the sun shining in the windows it feels right;
so I stop- selecting to read a vast tome.

My heart is so beating now
Rushing blood circulating
My life is subject to how
My behavior evaluating

Each Beating Heart
in a box on my desk is a picture
elizabeth holding her daughter
she's pulling the christmas ribbon
behind them is a mirror
in the slow crush of moments
I forget what happens next
sorrow is an open door
or a circle drawn in ash
around the life I'd hoped to live
whose future am I hiding
holding back and pushing on
a fluid spiral drifting without motion
each beating heart receives the gift of longing
feverish we tear away the wrapping
the box is always empty
there's a stranger in the mirror
the camera flash dissolves his face
I want so much but give so little
1. She is sweetened
This heart just beating
Comprise so entreating
Beautiful eyes of a lamb
A beating heart insurgent
Beautiful
You are
You are my heart, and it's beating
~
2. Her eyes are red
From crying so sad
Unhappiness this she dreads
Because her heart has missed beat
And thriving is the beating heart
Intertwined with mine
Beautiful and kind
Chorus: A beating heart insurgent
Beautiful
Beautiful you are
You are my heart and it's ever beating
Reframe:Oh' precious Heart
So endearing love
Whispering dove
Angel eyes meadowlark
Insurgent a beating heart
Beautiful
Beautiful you are
You are my heart and it's ever beating

hummingbird wings
beating swiftly --
my heart when near you

Entered in Damned I Be's Haiku contest
Something's in the heart
that's flowing never stops
continues always starts
beating flowing feeling every vein
it's more than physical
and spiritual it rains
the beatings and treating don't close
always starts never stops
the heart each and every part must be loved

Some hearts beats of love
Some hearts are infused in blood
Yet hearts of stone
Love No One
Harden hearts have no moving part
And the blood is frozen cold tart
How can one be alive
when they have no love in their eyes
Yet I am made of dirt molded as clear
This I say in true sincere
the revelance heartbeats
Those corresponding feats
I am a heart of stone
not of love
8/1/21
Someone has a heart
and is beating such
flowing love, flowing love
filled with spirit from above

What's in the heart
As it starts
To impart's the earnest
Dearest, rarest self
A warm beating muscle
Beatings being of within one chest
written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
The love of sorts
completes flowing clear liquid exposed hosts
into the air we breathe returns bright red
set beating hearts enough said
connect us so as each beat spreads
goes beating on and on and on and on Life giving soul liquid pungent red
