LOVE CHANGED ME
She was a savage, a ing brute.
Unafraid to fight for what she wanted.
Brave enough to go to war,
For what she deserved.
~r.h. Sin
ME WISHING A MOTHERER WOULD
My family is more important than wealth, privilege or gold; it cannot be bought or traded or sold.
My love knows NO law, NO pity, NO fear, it dares all things and crushes down mercilessly and relentlessly ALL that stands in its path.
My love gets messy, mean, sometimes it even draws blood.
It clings and gets MADDENING with repetitive patterns, like horrendously BAD wall-paper in a room the color of, “No one wants to in’ chill here man…”
I argue, I fight, even stop talking to ALL of them at once!
However, at the end of my days, till the last breath I breathe, the love will be here, on these pages; flawless, raw, and faultless. Chosen and impeccable and absolutely, undefeated.
Because love changes people.

My weeping heart has come to a place of broken submission as I surrender any search for peace, having walked within the dark shadows of my own mind and arrived at a point of understanding there shall be no comfort found within the smoldering ash of this once joyful place……. for those lands now lie scorched by fires of hatred and stained by the spilling of innocent blood. The hope of humanity found lifeless and still alongside the graves of the faultless.
the faultless fact fills finally,
the faultless figure finds foolishly

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2021©
Truly God is the only one who is able
being the all-powerful non created being
who rules and reigns from all eternity
so making sure we don’t go a falling
This one all divine and godly
who’s able to perfectly present
you of all people faultless
made a new creation old truly rent
The presence of the divine glory
this you’re able to presently appear
filled with the joy of the Lord
fully satisfied displaying godly fear
So the only God truly wise
who saved us securely sure
His be all glory and majesty
reign powerfully to endure
This declaration is all eternal
nothing will ever make it cease
God is our God authoritatively true
His kingdom forever to increase
(‘Now unto Him, that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.’)
Jude vs. 24,25 (KJV)
I’VE TRAVELED ‘CROSS A FAULTLESS MOON
I’ve traveled ‘cross a faultless moon
And trod on laughter tickled cheeks
Where craters mar the surface not
But on whose gentle slopes
Sunrise softly sleeps.
I’ve gazed upon a beaming moon
And seen the fire in luminous eyes
While minstrelling stars serenade her
Athwart the endless night
When sunlight sadly dies.
I’ve walked upon a lucid moon
And journeyed ‘cross supple seas of opal,
Down rifts and valleys not touched by time.
Over the curious mountain
So young and yet so noble.
I’ve looked upon a radiant moon
Flying high above the Earth, so grand,
Like Pegasus, but wingless,
Swooping ever carefully
To artfully eclipse the land.
She's got what con artists call
a faultless face,
so lovely, her secret crimes are
without trace;
no matter what she does, no matter
the place,
she stares deep into your soul and wins
the race;
her smile opens and shuts doors for her
with ease,
and you, the cop, let her get away
with these.
