Miracle Man
Disheartenment came with opened eyes,
for a switch, my inner self now cries.
Like most days I’m rapidly depressed,
but through all this I still feel blessed.
Life has evolved to where it is today,
the world is a serpent and I its prey.
Intellect tells me it won’t get better,
from this mentation I must unfetter.
Days no longer are drenched in sun,
in my quest for peace I’m finding none.
The music of sweetness is no longer heard,
the past is gone and future is blurred.
Hope
Aim expectations
Longing, yearning, hankering
Wanting’s of somethings to happen
Being the case somethings hoped for
Being in such distress anguish pain
Complete loss or and absence
Hopelessness Melancholy
Deject Despondency
Disheartenment
Despair

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
Everyday Fatimah Fatimah,
My searches are all about Fatimah Fatimah,
Poems and other literal works are about Fatimah Fatimah,
My dreams and realities are all about Fatimah Fatimah,
My hallucinatings and imaginations are all about Fatimah Fatimah but no star did I ever get from any Fatimah Fatimah,
But only discouragement and disheartenment in love by Fatimah Fatimah.
Or is it that all of them their hearts are the same I don't know.
What to feel?
A confused state of doubt
and exhilaration
that captivates the very core of me,
accelerating me to a level of adrenaline -
filling me with the hope
of a new horizon that dawns
just for me...
A new, fresh day
breaking the darkness
caused by disheartenment
and the disillusioning of a soul.
My heart has been taken prisoner
by excitement
and meaningfulness -
a sense of being wanted,
cared for,
sharing...
I do not wish this taste of paradise to leave me...
Let it grow into an eternal lifelong experience
that will enrich and imbue
with treasure
my life,
our lives -
I ask... I beg... I thank you...

Companions close maybe,
Comfort and inspiration give,
But inner meaning of life cries,
Live apart and alone.
None can answer your questions,
Nor make your decisions and choices,
Or your responsibilities take,
You are alone to relate.
All alone you believe or repine,
All alone you render an account,
Of all your deeds at the judgement,
You alone all by yourself.
God calls one man to stand for him,
Such a man faithful and worthy,
Would stand without sympathy,
Or encouragement, all alone.
Lone souls to the battle of truth.
Have out of disheartenment;
And despondency fought,
Shouts of victories are heard far and near.
