First blush fountain azimuth of hued rays
wet patio shrub basket in the haze
zealous heartland tower cry as life force
celebrate and savour August rare days
Magenta skylines cluster silken clouds
blue ocean colour eyes that worship shrouds
a fancy surreal canvass so divine
it mesmerises jubilant bright crowds
Summer fun arcades stoke our dream world mind
gasps of red tint bliss a peak season find
earthbound poise dilates refulgent cascade
rocking beach tune fare blurs dark strain purblind
Sapphire plinths that anchor stoic ambit
vision on parade my high rise gambit
traipse amid the dahlia euphoric
seventh heaven rapture’s cloud nine orbit
Cluster,
better matter
produced from unity
theatre of feelings tiring
bundle.
on way to Ulster
saw a cumbersome cluster
in a big bluster
while amicable
did become despicable
was predictable
when perusing on map
flowing from tree was much sap
between ears big gap
when with day of grace
of what we saw was a trace
egg all over face
when wearing bloomer
based on the latest rumor
died from brain tumor
being demented
was hard when he had hinted
hair would be tinted
of ice cream ate scoop
saw another nincompoop
doing hula hoop
Answer caressing
ever blessing
I am surrounded
by your creation
~
I am of all of you
I am in awe of you
I so response
my soul response
is that if I am of you
~
so apart of you, for God
I miss you as I regulate
if I as I listen to it the best of me
is spoken out the mouth of you
family the vision of the perfect love
~
blessing of Grace merciesfulI
don't want I am I am done
to the light it's all right
because I am of you
so the away I array in thine brilliant light
~
In the brilliant cluster of your Love
Every and all things all right and bright

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2023
Freshly awake from feeling trapped in a dream
I drink Sleepytime tea in the dark and
Read an article perfectly summarizing the modern world of
Cluster B personality disorders - the underlying psychopathology
Now overtly on display in a world gone mad
It hits the proverbial nail on the head
But maybe that's the problem
I don't want to be a nail, nor even a needle
I want to be just fingers tying
Knots on a loom
Like in the old days around the fire
As stories and tall tales of Gods and Giants swirl
And so like everyone else
Stick my hammered, needled, knotted head
Deep in the proverbial sand

Stardust
golden nugget space bomb explodes ~ life from its dust dispersing one race
“Made in God’s image, we are love and light ~
Within us are all stars, we see at night”
~ quote by poet
Secrets divine, today we’ll share
We’re far more than what does appear
Come, let us shift into high gear
Allow not thought forms to ensnare
Entwine with universal mind
Unless third eye opens, we’re blind
Clear light dawns, when head and heart pair
We then become the all-that-is
Existence, consciousness and bliss
We have come here, to breathe fresh air
Love and light is our quintessence
We’re one with God’s luminescence
Soul’s a light cluster, self-aware
We’re a hologram of the whole
Here on earth, playing our life role
Secrets divine, today we’ll share
Allow not thought forms to ensnare
Clear light dawns, when head and heart pair
We have come here, to breathe fresh air
Soul’s a light cluster, self-aware

Constanza (invented by Connie Marcum Wong)
Two rival hockey teams take the ice
Gloves off at game time. bAm! PoW! SLICE!
It was a cluster puck
And that is putting it toothlessly nice.
I learned woodchucks couldn’t chuck wood
What would happen if they actually could?
Well, a cluster chuck
Really it’s only beavers that should.
I was holding breadcrumbs in a 10 lb sack
I tripped and fell right on my back
Then ensued a cluster duck
I was found by feathered friends that quack
I have this new word game to play
What’s the word I mean without having to say?
What a… clusterfluck?
Or something like that anyway.

8. Cluster
she would sing with birds
known to set many records
drank many tankards?
she sure seemed so fine
my vivacious valentine
drank big Ballentine
Have you ever heard of
Ballentine Beer Before
we were researching
trump lies that had been learching
on big nose perching
had many close shaves
trump would make many big waves
we became his slaves
(stabbed him with some staves)
(he never behaves)
(leads us to our graves)
(we became his knaves)
(often us depraves)
(does grunt when he raves)
(owns atlanta braves)
How about that for quite
a few laughs with warm bathes
then travelled on Trump
putrid paths.

I saw her surrounding them
To ease my complex, I wrote
They are from the world aliens
My job is only to praise them
My life
Already in the last part
I later came to know
Crime PLAN INTERNATIONAL
He arranged fake threats to look as real.
To get oblige from the givers
It is how
She and many got influenced by him and them.
I watch from far away
How it got set
Things are same
Internationally

Triangulation strangulation
can you live up to the competition
add gas lighting and narcissism
a very frightening composition
Muster up to the cluster B
find yourself discarded like a soiled sheet
devoid of compassion
lack of empathy
once you really see
past the screen
the mask has slipped
and so many have peeked
now you panic
validation you need
so you pray on young
dumb nieve and weak
seek out a victim
to bleed dry and supply your need
your needs for weed dont come cheap
pull the supply and see the demon freak
neurotic psycotic rage and crazy speak
implant viral seeds a vile display
and then you leave.
Life as Cluster
it seems to
boil down to
this simplicity:
life is a cluster of
appearances and that
in which appearances
appear..
the larger question
seems to be
whether a question
ever arises as to
these appearances:
do they stand alone
or in what medium
do they appear..
Recognizing
the cluster..is this our
Only purpose...?
Make up your mind
Live each day kind
Tango takes two
Just me and you
Be blind to blame
Wear a good name
Hear your soul call
Be good to all
Words prompt clear tact
Change follows act
Be of good cheer
Watch love draw near
Rhymes in sure time
Craft happy chimes
Mimes in a list
Now moves fond gist
In due time fate
Closes the gate

Mimosa memories
Time beyond such odd times
Old-fashion harmonies
Chime echoing strange mimes
Yes the touch-me-not fest
A long ago feeling
A fork road on my quest
Touching thorny pricks sting
Day of unhurried wit
On long-forgotten fields
Footfalls in strange odd bits
Echoes that shadows yield
Cluster of primal fears
Unseen yet still stalking
Mimosa thoughts endear
Old corridors calling
Nothing can yet outlast
Echoes of time now past
Waxing and waning fast
Sadness once first now last
Mimosa colours tint
Blur edges of colour
Now ancient haunting hint
Passage of old flavours
Old school days now seem odd
Mimosa memories
Taunting and haunting plod
Upon strange history

What still life, in words upon the page?
Yet animated in rhythms of the tongue
Soft-mouthed or read aloud, in unison
Spoken in solitude or rising like the tide
In the ribcages of a thousand men
Some skilled orator
With the heartbeat of a nation in his hands
A silent offering from the lips
Of midnight prayer
A lover's vow
A battle song
What meaning we assign
A curious cluster of whispers and howls
Vulgarity, obscenity, profanity, blasphemy
A sacred hymn
A holy chant
Divine syllables...
The secret names of god
What still life, in words upon the page?
Yet animated in rhythms of the tongue
