To meet converse
give me a ring
hmu
perchance communicate
'twould be a fine thing
if it were so
but no
wtf
lower case letters and emojis
are the way of the day
mostly with nothing much to say
smh
no wonder the globe is warming
with all the power used and abused
omg
but what did they find
to fill their tiny minds
lol
before they owned
their so-called smart phone
idk
Mother: a wax crayon candle in a starless room
You have many layers, like an onion
And you're coloured, but not green
So a wax-crayon candle is favoured here.
Much more poetic.
Although I bathe in the dark
You sit in my corner
Flickering
flickering
like
this.
And you wish not intrude
In your offers of solace.
No.
You don't set my room on fire
You just light up my corner
With the gift of a place to be seen.
A place of security,
Whether I visit it or not.
AND YES, you are loved. YES, you are valued.
(so don't even doubt it)
And yes, your Crayola hues, your mix-n-match
May clash in the eyes of OTHERS
But parallel to even your Converse shoes:
They complement each other
And though I don't always visit this corner...
...Of candlelight in my room,
You should know you're not alone
With my candlelight, too.
What matters everything else words comparable distorted letters speaking faucity collective words
Collective converse
Yakityyak
Combined parallel to make sentences
Breach multiply sentences paragraph in parenthesis Community first leading to that confusion
Referencing channing collective communication
1/1/24
Written words James Edward Lee Sr 2024
Paul wants to his debts pay by installments
Red-eyed Mark holds not back raw sentiments.
“The cash you plan to release me piecemeal
I could lavish in some delicious meal,
Kitchens crossing their doors to food feel
And pubs parting their curtains to thirst heal:
Now, Red-Hot Mark not sure of starting deals
Nor big transactions providing fast wheels.
Next, a Paul begging lender use of his brain
And brotherly saving of deserved pain…
“You know installments can’t drive a bargain
Which no strength saps while it assures gain!”
“Yes, but I know Little does help The Big
And one less lucky with hair tries The Wig”
When creditor and debtor converse
Check it: one wants to a few things reverse.
*** INTO SILENCE ***
Like a child
Again
I have been dismissed
To Silence:
Where I find
fawns walk
splendidly soundless;
Where the moon
only
Brings a rising
Voice
To converse with
my heart…

Thanks be to God
When I am gone from this world
I will leave you in my will
my size eight pair of red Converse high tops
for you to keep and wear in memory of me
along with the black ones and pink ones
residing in my closet too
you always love when I wear them
with my blue jeans, green t-shirt and Nike socks
every time we take a stroll together on the beachfront
creating enormous footprints in the sand
and when I am beating you in games
of one on one basketball on the park
Deeply hidden within thoughts
that linger
A centuries old message to know
and then feel
Remembrance crying out from the
darkness now passing
In a voice so familiar—our fortune
to steal
It calls to us silent, as it waits
for an answer
It calls to us closer, as all
distance revokes
It calls from within us in a voice
our breath fosters
It calls from beyond all past anguish
and hope
The air now grows heavy with
a mist that induces
Words mate in the fog as the
letters reverse
The ending comes first, as the beginning
still chases
All sleep taken hostage
—as new memories converse
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
Oh,
If I could save the world,
With just one word;
I'd use every letter in the alphabet;
I would just converse to God in prayer
Yet,
I would pray to our God in heaven,
for His blessings;
And...witness
His glorious message to His children...
beautiful Blessings
just converse to God in prayer
Selah
Dedicated to Poetess "Eldah Calvin"
WRITTEN BY James Edward Lee Sr.
from anthology "God's Children Poets, Poems and New Friends 2"
“Why are our humans staring at you and me? Don't look.”
“Will any of them, just one, stop staring? What’s to see?”
“Maybe pretending to dig-hide the bone is the key!
You keep biting and sucking away. I’ll do the bone thing, then flee
to lay by the door of glass and begin bathing my knee.”
Oh Glory of mighty
who in her met
Morn and night
Converse
The dawn in her face
Lenore light
The Night
is crown top
On her head
dark
Conversations confusing
Google bots are oozing as I type
Quiet yet quite the riot
Gents lament a Goddess rant
Counting Coronets that can’t…
Hailing comments that She shan’t
Whale her song from a ship of Pink.
While her telly was quite the philly
Her belly was shaking with quiet silly
A butter in the fly has stumbled…
Tumbling his tongue on a British bum.
She laughed as she came undone and
He remembers now, the dame’s name.
Especially, the special invented his game.
Peace and pieces were all to blame, so
Sasanova lost her shame… and went froth.
Up the Gemini and into the Earth…
Tales from the doggie, so Sirius at first
Said ales of Corona created Mirth.
Martha, is such a ham when she works!
Sang a song about six biggie wics
Five for games and one for sticks…
Dear John, Flame of my heart,
Your elip Tickles O’l Neptune’s part!
Dear Ed, did you hear of the start!
Two men in wigs… made a Casaba tart!
Logs only have rhythm… when they’re lagers…
Honey, pass my reed please… near the sandals.dear ;)~
Sometimes I wonder…
what visits the avian brain
of the eagle gracing a branch near the lake.
Is there any thought there?
Is there some strange, birdly insight
delving into the business of fishes?
Or do I merely project my own thoughts
into those fearsome eyes?
I heard of a fellow here who feeds the eagle.
He holds up a fish and the eagle flies down
and alights on his boat.
Do the man and the eagle speak
in a trans-species tongue?
Do they tell each other of the fish caught
and of those that got away?
Sometimes I wonder…
which is the better liar?
Narrow Incline Converse Say Sean
Hello Sean, listen to me carefully there is the way life is and has become and
there is the way that people see it from the angle they perceive it from. There is
one way it rally seems to be but taken from perspectives of a total stranger it
changes swiftly to become a different conversation take abbreviations file names
a good example three separate words become three letters usually they do not
rhyme but sometimes they become a word and a real good time of fun take pun
pun is a word of fun. Tor is the word that eye was looking for an English heart is
COR and on the English meadow and on the English gate there is a hearth of
stone three fathoms long and underneath the narrow stone is seldom used dirt
Sean, GO and get me some hand the bag to me when you are done and call it
nicss.
