I
Who
Am so
Engulfing.
Heart beats rhythms
Composer music lyrics
written down and gathered down algorithms fold
constant. Hearts and ears be ever soul ready always so positioned the place. Amen

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
In the engulfing silence,
I can only close my eyes and hug myself
The agony of existence weighs heavily on my soul
So much that living feels like a burden!
But then, stars twinkle and dance
Reminding me that life has an aim
Even if one so subtle, and,
That I should bother not about its pains,
For life acts as such as she is pained herself
And can only pour upon us
Her miserable gloom!
Why, stars twinkle and bid the moon to sing
Of the mysticism that surrounds us all,
Mortal beings having been gifted with an elevated consciousness
And I, can only open my eyes
To let my tears flows
Tears of freedom, tears of bondage
Tears of joy, tears of misery
Tears of submission, tears of rebellion
Tears of love, tears of resentment
Tears of forgiveness, tears of blame!
Pray, in the engulfing silence of the night
Set free, I can only succumb to the stars' show
And to the moon's music
As they push me to drown into nocturnal reveries!
Hear the tale of a beautiful woman
A story told should be forbidden
She falls asleep quickly
And lies in her bed neatly
Beautiful colors she sees ahead...
Interrupted by a mysterious view
It summons her to a mountain stream
She notices an aroma, intense in her dream
The smell lingers on
Her presence she fears does not belong
Sensations felt from above her head
She cannot relinquish this feeling as of yet
Looks behind but her senses deny
Terrified, she turns to hide
The force is too strong for her to run
Trying to awake, she could do none
Inhaling, exhaling down her back it moves
She sees it now, black, dark and absurd
She knows this could only be one thing
An engulfing doom, a shadow encircling her room
It is a ghoul her mind conjures
Trying to take her soul for sure
Suddenly her phone rings,
She returns from her slumber
Awake and barely aware
She drops the phone and looks above
Realizing it is still there....

"Waking Up" Contest Entry
So gross is the scene
Scattered tears of bleeding heart
Heart stabbed and deceived
My strength of bearing pain,sapped
Lurking in oblivion
*
Empty handed life
Drags me on a fiery path
Smiles snatched from the face
Destiny showed no mercy
Engulfed me in a dark shroud
