LOVE
A feeling like no other
An essence that is unmatched
Love is like a potion...
To sip of it would be equivalent to consuming 1000 bottles of ecstacy
Love flies in unexpectedly
Like a beautiful phoenix ...
Perched on the windowsill of ones heart
Love arises a passion...
A passion that burns deep within ones soul
It ignites a fire that cannot be extinguished
A fire that burns effortlessly
Love is like a spell...
A spell that renders ones soul helpless
In the spell of love ...
Ones heart becomes a prisoner to its effect
Love is such my friend ...
It cannot be explained by mere words
For it surpasses all understanding
Which our minds cannot fathom...

Fun! Thanks Ghairo Daniels!
Dive into my constellation and witness the collision of my stars. Fathom how a new galaxy is created within my depths. Traverse the superclusters of my soul.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
It's hard to fathom that in 2024,
the ugliness of antisemitism has
reared it's head once more..
Campus students need to
change their perspective.
It's not the Jewish peoples fault
whom Israel elected..
Netanyahu failed to keep his people safe
and now he's killing the Gaze an children
at a horrifying rate..
The hostage families didn't ask for this
aggressive war, only to have their loved ones
returned, to have their families restored..
It's shameful and myopic to attack their
Jewish peers, subject them to racial slurs,
instilled by threats and fears.
Freedom of speech implies a moral responsibility,
not to chant "to obliterate Jews from the river to the sea".
When you spot the stars above your head
Remember you are the quirky ones that glitter
the rivers turn blue under the sky
but oh! its only in my eyes?
Do you see what I see?
Haven't been to heaven
yet I imagine a mansion
A giant magnificent edifice
what a lovely master piece!
Then, let us assemble our feet stronger on the higher ground
Let the sun shines be ever brighter than it used to be.
Let the humans roar at you
even the wheels of your car may be stabbed
well, will you still be in awe of the wonders?
The handcrafted things,
the nature that display its glorious existence.
who can fathom the depth of the ocean?
But there is someone to whom, every detail is fathomable.
every ounce of anguish is known.
"Be courageous". He said,
will you recline and be at rest?
The night will not be dark
the sun will rise again.
and we will have the place in that mansion.
Choosing Me
I sing today with a joyful heart,
for the dark-clouds had left from wavering over the top.
I wake in the light of the sun now,
and the birds once again sing with me in a relay.
The flowerings' spread all about in the fields,
with the thickets alongside them in balance.
The scent of the lavender and lilacs; I do thee smell,
brings about the enrichment of what you brought to my life.
The hours of my yesteryears will never fade from you,
for you have not only shown what the meaning of life was,
but the bliss of the purpose is hard to fathom.
Thank you, my love, for choosing me!
We clap for them
We cheer
I really hope they hear...
Those Angels at the NHS
Go far and beyond their call of duty
whilst putting their own lives at risk
They work extra hours tending the sick
For these generous souls
full of passion not fear
We clap for them
We cheer
I really hope they hear...
for their dedication
for their inspiration
for what they do is a true vocation
So thankful are we they are here
taking care throughout our Nation
For without them I would truly fear
that few of us would still be here
God bless them all
and keep them safe
For all that they do
For all that they are
We must show our respect
yet I suspect ~ they don’t really fathom the fuss
as they go about living their daily life
whilst taking good care of all of us…

1st PLACE
Often I fathom
Just how it could be
If worlds were between us
If only we could see
All the time and the space
That we could control
The cosmos, our walkway
Off on a stroll
If each star we counted would burst into scenes
That played out in life between you and me
So we could watch quietly, you with a smile
Then, kiss me once more...
Just fathom a while....

fathom rider;
I'd rather;
Be covered in lather;
Than become displaced;
Challenge fighter;
Surfing waters;
Been blown in the winds;
Coarse confusion;
Mass delusions;
Help me back in my skin;
Burn impressions;
Mass detection;
Of the gatherings;
When it's all said and done;
Mankind reaps what it sows;

C-oal clouds early Saturday
A-re nowhere in view;
T-wenty-eighth January morn
H-as not hidden from
Y-ou.
C-old chill Friday night
E-vades the break of dawn;
N-ew day meets the light,
T-wilight is already gone.
E-yes of you are glowing,
N-o haze at first glance;
O-utstretched arms of you just fathom the distance.
I am the deep blue of the deep blue --
I dance outwardly,
crashing white frothy spirals on the shoreline
bringing life
and death.
I hold in abeyance
the fish in the sea,
the coral, fauna
and the mighty Leviathan.
They come and go at my bidding
to take or be taken,
to feed or be fed upon;
as is my deep blue whimsy.
I exhale and send treasures
onto the sand
with shining abundance
to be found by explorers on my shores.
I inhale and take back what I've given,
burying deep beneath trenches
my treasures
to be found by explorers of the deep.
Like stars in the heaven,
I will be here to time indefinite
to live forever with only the ebb and flow --
the fish, coral, fauna,
and of course the great Leviathan.
Arise
Shed your old self
Let isolation back
Restart a new way of living
Release the grudge feelings that haunt your mind
Be kind to you, don't belittle
Give thanks for a new day
Don't waste your time
Resurge

Just Can't Fathom
By Franklin Price
9/6/2015
Just can't fathom man to man
The how the why the can't the can
The reasoning for you and me
Rash practice of stupidity
The wants the needs the lines are blurred
The voices visions seen and heard
Goals mixed for us for self and shared
The do nots and the ones who dared
Accepted values in the end
And lack of such will much depend
On how we move along the way
And make our choices day to day
Lack of thought lies everywhere
In conversation we should share
Our witness of those things we see
Of practices that should not be
And if when shared that is the end
So far from right that is my friend
We must then participate
Or others will decide our fate
To sit aside fuss and profess
And point that others made this mess
And think there's nothing we can do
We gladly practice stupid too
