Dearly Beloved, I’m Longing For You
The night is so gloomy
Dark, blue, and melancholy
I’m sunk into a deep despondency
I dream of you night and day.
When will I see you again?
My hearth is lonely, deeply sighing
I wish that someday we will meet again my dear
So this bleeding heart will be eased by your love so tender.
Its been a while I haven’t seen you
I can no longer fathom the ocean of solidarity
I am lost and don’t know where to go
Dearly Beloved I’m long for you.
I want to see you!
I want to hug and kiss you!
I want to walk with you in the silvery moon
And enjoy flying with the eagles and falcons.
In some other universes, we met sooner,
We loved and may have also fought harder.
But I believe in this one, we were destined
To become our best selves; it was all fated.
I know why I love you with and without reason.
I need you for the rest of my life, every season.
In this world, it is where I am most awakened.
Blessed with awareness to point I'm shakened.
I can tell why you love with little explanation.
You need every bit of my sincerest affection.
In this world, you longed for a love so different.
You are blessed with a lover: me, not ignorant.
I know in this universe, we were meant to meet
When we feel like we're finally on our own feet.
Your voice, your face bring me a new serenity.
Mine make you feel true love and true amity.
When my batteries run low
My cogs screech, the spinners
And my eyes grow dimmer
And I'm walking numb
When my batteries run low
Their double A selves
Marked with gold and black positives
Or silvery white negatives
A living ying and yang
For the future, past, and present
When my batteries run low
The water evaporates me
And overwhelms me dearly
And I'm living numb
When my batteries die low
Wielded
like a
loaded gun
His phone
was thrusted
forth
Proof
of what
I knew
was false
Refusing
all
discourse
Armed
with but
an empty
tweet
Chosen
by a
bot
His mind
was trapped
inside a myth
Whose fiction
dearly
— bought
(Rosemont College: April, 2025)
I will never ever stop missing you
I will simply learn to live
Keeping you inside myself
The huge void that your absence has left
I will be missing you dearly
I'm looking you among the stars
Searching you the shell among the sand
Finding the pure rose among the flowers field
In dreams, I wish we will see and meet
In reality, hoping one day you'll be mine.
I love you dearly, in ways your little foibles can never deny,
With your laugh, your smile, the bright twinkle in your eye.
But when I see your clothes strewn all askew,
Perhaps the smitten, has bitten off too much to chew!
The dishes pile up, the socks are everywhere.
The clutter expands to chaotic mayhem in which I despair.
Your shoes live like vagrants, begging on the stairs.
Your papers, like confetti, cast litter over tables and chairs.
So here's my plea, my love, a fear I must confess.
I love you dearly, but not your lovely mess!
So let's tidy up together, or hire a helping hand!
While rocking, rolling, jiving to our favorite band.
For while messiness is a sign, they say, of a creative mind,
Mindless mess does not feed my mind to be creative in kind.
“ “
Quote
raised,
aware
of silence
in the red-eyed night,
morning likewise in quietude
until the incessant dirge of Poe, the bells bringing
down the house, and in the garden, an eagle…
…throws its wings around the tombstone’s shoulders
It's near suppertime
will you be mine
would you come and dine with me
Love not searching for it
Life so metaphoric
together you and I
Love not searching for it
Can't look for what you already have
Let me state this very clearly
Woman sincerely
I love you dearly
Love not searching for it
Can't look for what you already have it
Come closer to me may I taste your lips
Let me state this very clearly
Woman sincerely
I love you dearly

I am wanting so much to kiss your thin lips so deeply.
I find myself here simply missing you oh so dearly.
I'm longing for your body to be against mine desperately.
I was physically born, July 1937
My meaningful life started June 1959, when I took Patricia Ann as my dearest wife.
My meaningful life ended 1:25 a.m., October 10, 2023, with her passing.
Patricia, is at another place, our spiritual place, where we will soon be together again. May the journey be swift as my time here isn’t enough, without her.
Memories can’t satisfy my grief as her touch isn’t there for me.
Together… Forever.
I love you dearly
In a very, special way;
Heavenly sincerely
Evidence it’s so clear
I love you dearly
Your Father knows it’s real;
So we feel
That it is Okay
Ever so it’s clearly
In a warm and quiet way
I am ever thank-ful
For you upon this day
I love you dearly
Your Father knows it’s ever so real
Yes! Really, dear
That it is Okay
That I feel this way
I love you dearly
In a very, special way;
Heavenly sincerely
Evidence it’s so clear
I love you dearly
Your Father knows it’s real;
So we feel
That it is Okay

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
from anthology " a Place 4 Her Heart "
"Stars don't shine, they burn",
so is the twinkle in your eyes.
You, born to sparkle, glisten in life
stand out from the crowd,
predestined pride.
Sheltered from birth,
for not all were meant to witness your soul.
You, of honour and determination,
ambitious with precision,
soar dear child.
May goals align, 'til Kingdom come,
protect your pearls,
passion flows from pure intent.
Remain a child of scrutiny,
"be careful who you happen to"
and last but not least,
go be who you're destined to be.

Dearest one, dearest heart sweet admired;
Precious darling fellow worshiper of God's desire;
You are adorned forever more;
Revered cherished I honor;

That, that you are my heart's darling;
Sweet than the purest rains, Heaven drops;
You are God's heart darling;
Beloved -??
