Sat I engaged and talking
You’d not listen, you are not listening
While I pondered, my voice quivering telling and mocking
While I voiced myself, expressiveness and flocking
Spit out those wet words
You refuse to hear
You’d not listen, you are not listening
While I voiced myself, expressiveness and flocking
Yet still I pondered, my voice quivering telling and mocking
I crave the suggestive, splendid singer
Singing in perfect pitch harmony
I was a viewpoint and you’re a prompt
Ah, distinctly I was debating you refused my heart
It was stimulating, deep into that darkness phrasing
Of passages that I’m raising
I felt compelled to sniff the harmonies
The vocals came glazing
I sing now joyously
Yet you still not listen to me

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©
A poet writes to share a secret depth
Of feelings within their soulful breast.
They write to grasp onto immortality,
To be remembered beyond their death.

Taken from my poem titled "A Poet's Gift
A Poet's Gift
A poet writes to share a secret depth
of feeling within their soulful breast.
They write to grasp onto immortality,
To be remembered beyond their death.
A poet shares emotions inked upon the
Page that cannot verbally be conveyed.
They dwell in a world of dreams, of dark
And light, of imagination, of metaphors,
Where heartbreak heaves and love believes.
Poets dwell where nature inspires, and
Longing desires may elevate or decimate.
They feel compelled to write day or night
From their innate state of expressiveness.
Music, dance, and art entwined, are all a part
Of creating that sonnet, free verse or rhyme
Which may capture hearts in belaboured sigh,
Cause tears to well, the heart to swell, joy to
Bloom, cause lovers to swoon in blissful reverie.
Poetry...the greatest gift a poet yearns to share
With sensitivity, with naked open heart laid bare.

And moistened lips I softly kissed
Beguiling as the dusk's embrace,
That framed with such expressiveness
The perfect smile upon your face,
Which reached out so uncertainly
Although I glimpsed with mild surprise,
The tethered velvet fluttering
Of shadows living in your eyes.
Then we awakened to each other
As we held on to the dawn,
With a sense of life beginning
Such a sense of being born,
And we paddled in the shadows
As the moon washed them away;
Then we walked along together
Through our first together day.
Lyric Man's What's The Big Idea Contest

Theme: The First Time
In ghostly white and crystal blue
Like sun spiked diamonds on a chain,
So gently dripping down upon
Your silhouette within the rain,
And where you stood, the shadows bowed
In homage and in wonderment,
As unseen beauty shone abroad
In such a sacred sacrament.
Then the gas light glowed upon you
And your silhouette was gone,
Like curtains opened to the dawn
Just as the evening's done,
You reached out purple brocade arms
To hold me close again,
And we clasped ourselves together
In the shining morning rain.
And mist clad lips I softly kissed
So indistinct below the lace
That framed with such expressiveness
The perfect smile upon your face,
Which reached out so uncertainly
Although I glimpsed with soft surprise
The tethered velvet fluttering
Of shadows living in your eyes.
Then we awakened to each other
As we held on to the dawn
With a sense of life beginning
Such a sense of being born,
And we paddled in the shadows
As the sun washed them away
Then we walked along together
Through our first together day…
I pause and witness words of beauty
Taking me up to the mountain top
A simple gift of serenity
I stand still looking over the drop
Held in the grasp of expressiveness
Taking me to the mountain top
I take to the air a silent witness
Lifted on phrases of pure delight
Held in the grasp of expressiveness
My mind is bathed in a pure blue light
Riding on delicate angel wings
Lifted on phrases of pure delight
Freedom is felt as my soul it sings
Who knows where I'll be taken to
Riding on delicate angel wings
So as I inhale sweet words from you
Who knows where I'll be taken to
I pause and witness words of beauty
A simple gift of serenity
Dedicated to my Poetry Soup Friends who continue to
lift me on their delicate angel wings.
I cannot say this without missing some fragments.
What the mind reveals is too bright to paint
In words
In pictures
In song…
How I crave the expressiveness of thought
Living and true
Without the disadvantage of explanation.
I write with my mind
And when it is gone
I will write as I have always dreamed
Beyond the borders of limitation
Finally, creation comes home.
