blinded by your thoughts
does time ever slow down - so
I can catch my breath?

The Plea of the Blinded Cyclops
Trespasser! How dare you do this to me?!
Now with your blunder no more I can see!
After having my shelter & fodder then you'll flee!
Ungrateful! I sheltered you but my eye you shattered!
I fed you but my blood you splattered!
Now I will crush you and your nasty herd!
Animals! I will flay you alive once your're snatched!
I will shred your flesh once you're clutched!
Don't know my brutality has never been matched?!
Criminals! You will soon pay for your brutality!
Don't you know you have enraged thee?!
Thee you have offended…the mighty god of the sea!
Godless! How dare you inflict the son of a god?!
For yourself it's fruit is really, really bad!
For me my father to you is really, really mad!
Insane! Odysseus, also you deserve a cruel bane!
Poseidon! Hear your son, Polyphemus, wrenching in pain!
Let not this Plea of the Blinded Cyclops fall in vain!

*Fallen Myth Collection
Blinded by jealousy
you don't trust me.
You're too blind to see,
your suspicions
are unwarranted because
I am trustworthy.
But jealousy
rules your heart,
poisons your mind,
has brought confusion
to your thoughts,
makes you see things
that aren't there.
How can you say you
love someone,
then become a slave
to jealousy.
Don't you get it?
Jealousy means
you don't trust me,
and without trust
the foundation of love
is weakened.
Jealousy
is a deadly disease,
the infection destroying
us.
You're blinded by
jealousy.
Marlboro breath exhaling frustrations
Struggling with the need of her
Drinking to the moment he lost her
Only to remember how things were
Her ghost haunts his thoughts
Flooding the actions he makes
The feeling of her smooth skin
Craving to be explored on dates
The way she rolled her eyes so loud
Made him fold over in giggles
Saying "I love you" under a breath
She missed all of the signals
Loving carelessly and unconditionally
They always fall into eachother
Friends to most that see them
Tis their eyes meet, lover
tears carve silent paths,
though the sun is but a ghost
pressing on his skin.
he hears the light in the wind,
and weeps for its golden weight.
What has love done to you
Has it blinded your eyes
Has it muddied your mind
Is love whispering to your heart….sweet lies!
A hug for you, dear.
A kiss for you, mine.
Smooches to adhere;
As we pooch and dine...
A thought of your day,
A dream of your wish,
How nice it's so gay;
Love makes look foolish.
A sincere smile on...
A daring frown's sigh,
Beeps through hearts off fun
As both sets hope high-
A life together,
Cum any weather.

From the U K, due to the horrible ofcom

And command structures, and has chosen
To nose dive the whole country.'
Blindsided Again
Old tired Lady Justice,
Standing there—blinded—
Pleasingly taking the day off;
Giving us another day of injustice:
Her unbalanced scales dangling freely;
We, once again, are chained by inequality:-
Pontius Pilate facing Jesus questioned what is true.
The answer stood in front of him not a what but a who.
But a breath away from perfect truth if only he knew.
Lord may I never be so blinded that I miss you too.
One man hung on a cross finger tips from the almighty.
Salvation within his grasp but too proud to clearly see.
Instead hurling insults for a fleeting moment of glee.
Lord may I never be so proud I fail to bend the knee.
Jealous leaders plotted to extinguish God's holy light.
Foolishly loving darkness acting like tombs washed in white.
Eyes so deceived they could not see the dire of their own plight.
Lord may I never be so fooled I walk by my own sight.
One woman abounding with love anointed with weeping.
With expensive alabaster perfume kept on pouring.
Overcome with thankfulness she just kept his feet washing.
Lord may I be like her with thanks and love overflowing.
Blinded by the burning sun
Mouths parched and without hope
Miles of endless desert sand
It's way too much, I cannot cope
The Lord whispered from across the dunes
Be steady my child, don't dismay
I can save you just like that
So you won't lose your way
O' ye what it be
Sorely flying we be
High in mind, low minded
Soul blinded
I profess dreams of vision quest
heavenly invested in bless
High in thoughts,
Above myself
My inner crest is that I am bless
O' ye I shall be
of my Father's Heart
my loyalty wealth
Soul sighted
I a visionary eyes so sweet
Paradise viewing blight
High in thoughts,
Above myself
My inner crest is that I am bless
So blinded sighted

written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2025
He doesn’t trust me. I told him the truth. He doesn’t care that I told the truth, he believes them. He thinks that I lied. His eyes have nothing but hate and darkness in them. His body stones there's no warmth in his lip. He is blinded by the words that never existed. I tell him the truth. I'm pleading the truth. God why doesn’t he believe me. His hug is so close. But I would never dare to touch him. He’s yelling, I’m scared. I’m so scared. Does he see my tears of hurting love doesn’t he see how much his words are hurting me. Will he ever believe me? I don’t know. Will his anger blind him and he will do more than yell? I'm scared of what will come next…
Beings of the mysterious light of creation appear on Earth
As the children of the universe, however,
Their skin colour differs, their hair texture is not same
Their lifestyle gets formed by their country of birth
Yet, the same blood runs in their veins
And they have in them,
The same desire to attain the mysterious light
From which they have all originated!
The paths they have to walk on are same;
They all need to find the means to survive
In a realm of temporariness which only serves
As an opportunity to atone for their previous sins
And to pray to be absolved of these
So as to be rewarded of an existence
In some place which the human eyes cannot perceive!
Yet, the stay in the realm of temporariness
Remains challenging as the children of light
Are subjected to the tests of maintaining
Their lives peaceful through the virtue of
Having tolerance for each other's differences
So much that having their flag on a piece of land
Has become the cause of ruthless violence
Which douses off their faith in the source of light!
Watching all this, the universe cries, as it only wanted
To see its children laughing while playing with each other!
• The pitch black sky shines brighter than you
• I don't know why I stayed
• All this time I thought you cared
• I was too blinded to see I've been played
