I see the eyes it hears not;
I hear the view it's screaming;
I walk holding the grounds I stand on;
I run holding my embraced arms raised;
Horizontally tied up in my unconsciousness;
Bludgeoned by my nightmares;
Confused in my sanity;
Awaiting my sins to untie me;
Kaleidoscope grace mercy;
And intangible physical breach;
Insanity solution preached;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2020
A thirst for truth in an ocean of lies,
A painting, replicated
Their typical guise.
The appearance of good
Peel back each layer,
Morality submerged, as it all becomes grayer.
Time is breached!
Are you listening or just hearing?
Time is breached!
Are you the one steering?
Time is breached!
Can anyone tell?
All their subtle songs send us all straight to hell.
We are all trained to accept what we so desperately fear,
We learn to take lightly what we once held dear
Their darkness is tinted with a neon glow
Attracting their victims
While erasing them…. slow
The chill of mid-winter
In the middle of spring
No amount of shelter can warm up the destruction they bring.
The illusion may vary
But the price is the same
No one gets out of escaping this game.
Time is breached!
Are you listening or just hearing?
Time is breached!
Are you the one steering?
Time is breached!
Can anyone tell?
All their subtle songs send us all straight to hell.

Today I awoke.
Pain tearing the thin, doped veil
Useless to restrain
Its thirst for health, sanity.
Sleep the friend I most cherish.

Broken Wings
September 7, 2017
Beaches are where breaches adorn like brooches
Waves curl up to breach the surface of sea,
Then break, plunging headstrong to broach on shore.
Wales and dolphins breach off the beach with spit and spurt.
Crabs and worms breach the sand with holes and borrows
Waves and ripples crease the wet sand with furrows
The surge of tide erodes and reworks the inlet channels
A beach is a shore breached and broached in dynamic equilibrium and flux
Eroded, exposed then sand deposited, accrued and hoarded
With sediment piled up in reserve in dunes, hills, swales and shoals
Birds breach the sky and pierce the scenery
Footprints broach the serenity of beach expanse
Beaches - breached and broached are designed to cope.
somewhere deep between the darkness and the light
I lost my way in the evening's twilight
I can't remember when I've been this cold
across this valley where it was all foretold
I shield my eyes, with both of my hands
reach across this desert where there's nothing but sand
I look across the borders searching far and wide
across this valley to the inside of my mind
I can see the light that's breaking through the leaves
and the harder it gets, the more I believe
over the barricades and trenches I climb
across this valley to the inside of my decline
the things I've lost there somewhere in time
I’ve stared down honor, saw its surprise
the reasons and the rhymes I still deny
across this valley where my soul wanders blind
chaos reigns when all the order gets tossed
and my only crime is the time I've lost
the distance is there but no limits do I reach
across this valley where my heart was breached
Fierce, thunderous winds,
As they swirl upon my skin,
Coming from within…
