Met by chance a coincidence
Met by chance a sudden whim by the side of a window isle , speedy montage , a train track
Never to fancy about a becoming, monsieur
Before then too t'was a maiden, a shrew, enjambment and a refrain, clerihew!
A gorgeously red wedding chant, a royal vow, know-how
pomegranate a hue, a blushing knew!
Today, the silky hue was a blackened clue, inconclusive
a garment and arose an eve, and a grievance whence Eden sank in grief!
Fancied about a wall, non , none, never, to belong
a myrtle a suntanned thistle thal home bound, a letter poem, enclosed envelope!
From hothat dekha an early composition
Hothat Dekha | | Voice : Rajib Mahata
As I run away from the chains, not a single one of my principles drifted
out of my mind, I know what's right and what's wrong for me
I can take actions by chance and leaps of faith
I escaped from the herd, I do not take revenge but I choose to stay calm
Resentment is control, I understand now and shall not be held captive
I have never felt safer, then I have before
I do not cry for freedom, my heart feels whole again being free.
A child by chance
Adopted by choice
Loved by many
Two brilliant mothers
One run away father
A wonderful dad
Her choices were many
Her talents were plenty
Happily ever after happened
For a child of chance
Many wrote about it,
I don't know how many felt it.
Slained , slaughtered or
Death by chance.
"EXPANDABLES" I Pronounce
Didn't knew what it ment
Got to be one to know one.
SYSTEM CRUMBLED , BOTS FIGHTING AND SHOUTING
Some needed to mourn,
Some wanted to mourn,
Some were brutal just like ****.
I get confused no one seems my own
SYSTEM CRUMBLED , BOTS KILLING AND PROPHESYING
Get a gun or get gunned down,
"One of us or one of them"
Dilettante's crusade is never planned
In company I identified myself.
In solitary I understood myself.
Company threatens me
Solitary frightens me
SYSTEM CRUMBLED , BOTS ENLIGHTENED AND SET FREE
On blue bench beneath
A clear day kind of blue sky.
Together we turned
To have a new perspective,
Instead saw our initials.
And as this day draws to a close
I'll shut my eyes and look for sleep
And if I should by chance to dream
A dream of you my mind shall keep
That dream inside my deepest part
To cherish forever within my heart
Alongside others still aglow
For I've had many, you don't know
These, the accepting responses
This, the affirmative nod
To one who feels, fearing greater
Merits not the love of God.
Through that, in its shady cloister
Wild violet's; weak smelt, stemmed.
Heartburst's, not cloud's, sympathetic
Formed from out. Saintly emblemed!
flashes of atavistic plurality
saves us timelessly
and sporadically
from what we are
programmed to be
by the system... !
Rip down the statues
Rename the streets
Police the language
Label it hate speech
Burn down the cities
In peaceful protest
Justice is racist
Thus, civil unrest
No longer about
Seats on the bus
A bus itself
Is labeled unjust
Envy a sin
Yet the very basis
Of a pernicious movement
Mislabeled social justice
True justice is blind
Social justice sees
Skin tone blamed
For all disparity
Media propogandist
Mix up the facts
Left is right
Right is wrong
Gaslighting Americans
With their fake news
Giving demonic takes
Editing out truth
Hate your enemy
Get up in their face
Resist reality
Let ideology replace
Tragedy in the schools
Fools blame it on tools
Deceived bunch of souls
Who forget man reaps what he sows
How it all ends
Is known in advance
Simply have faith
Knowing it doesn’t happen by chance
Some one with large rabbit ears
is familiar to my breathing
Don't say it is by chance
Page by page i write her all
From false nose to pony tail
and her old barbie dresses
By chance shall we dance;
Shall our toes and feet meet, sweet romance;
By chance;
We dance;
Fairest fair come here
Come let's make music
Hits of simple movements
Romantic old sway side to side
Rumba let us not hide
Little like a violet romance
We go
Tango tango
Let us walk Fox trots
In any dance zizomba
Merengue zouk
Continually dance with shall my love
Let our arches touch feet and toes kiss
we dance and such
We danced
By chance by chance shall we dance

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2021
Beautiful eyes girl living next to my door,
Has a solution for my all problems and pains forevermore.
You....sweet like a honey drop,an angel and a queen,
You are one of the prettiest girl I have ever seen.
You are attractive,
You are beyond cute...to me.
From your gorgeous eyes and your pretty smile,
To your glorious own fashion sense and your sweet style.
Whatever you do and everything you say,
Which makes me feel more and more for you everyday.
You are always be in my mind, heart and head,
Girl your beauty is irresistible...Remember what I have said.
By-Pratiks'
If by chance we meet
On a star brightened night
When all the world is asleep
And the clouds have fled from sight.
When the universe seems endless
And your world is so sublime
We'll set and talk with each other
If our journeys cross in time.
At the Bottom's dropped out.
I'll write to you
the end of the story.
The only one i know.
Sundown on a field of dandelions.
No step closer to rapture,
I smiled with no hurry
when i found myself here,
at the bottom's dropped out.
It never rests.
not even when it's over.
Like stale conversation
without bread nor water.
A river martin's graceful flight.
My smile came easy
when i saw you here
at the bottom's dropped out.
Lampblack spills on a white canvas,
like a clock running out of time.
The mood a smile brings on,
it never has to die.
Dustup Old Frisian theological nonsense.
The clouds burst with meaning
at the bottom's dropped out.
Like a sun spot on the Sun
Life stands still
as seasons change.
It’s not worth winding up the long rewind
of a slippery slope
towards yesterday’s face another time.
Let's have last seen each other here
At the bottom's dropped out.
It was only by chance, that I happened to glance
As a shooting star crossed the night,
I watched it pass, in a luminous flash,
Much to my earthbound delight.
In vivid green hues, it decided to choose
A night when I raised my eyes,
This heavenly display, that by luck came my way
Filled me with joy and surprise.
A wondrous thing, this traveller far,
And delighted I to be here,
To witness it's light, a God given sight,
As it sped through the earths atmosphere.
