Image this!
I canvas the skins, of my sins;
I was sunburnt often;
I was winkle, beaten and tied up;
Yet in my face did I grin;
I was molded and stinky in my dreams;
In my spirit was I green;
Intervisions divided so up tight, that
All I could ever do was to lose and not win;
I was a dried up, cracked up picture;
Once was colored now faded;
Had no scheme of things;
Cause my new make up was no longer sin
Replacement imaged this?
Why? cause I was birth new, I was born again;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
After restoring memory,
the used space becomes free again.
Yet still, you do haunt
the ghost drive of my heart.
My daring to spotty pigeons
Intervision dear Gabriel
I have a small confession
I love you forgive this my confusion
You are a poem of my heart
I cherish Australia where we first met
I clapped my hands your eyes you are so true
I know recently I began to regard you
As much more much more than a friend
I am just a friend my feelings for you intensified
When I saw you walking in the Moonlight
Like I was by your the light for eyes
All of a sudden you're so special the quiet waves

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
The cascading stream leaps down the emerald valley
Dancing waters caress rolling pebbles on their facet
Twilight weaves light and shade lattice on tree canopy
Drizzle of silent night sprinkles stardust on the thicket
Stars of firefly twinkle to the tune of crooning cricket.

Image in the mirror
shows the truth of the body's motion before it
Is it truth from all senses
what the body bears out side it
Image is image
just feeling in eyes trough the device
Thoughts are imaged
What we do realize
