Mother lowers her sullen face
against a volatile wind,
tasting the insolence
of a heavy laden gust
As she heaves quietly
from musings of unaswered dreams
grating her senses -- hope clinging--
through pits of lonely thoughts
delicately cleansing snarled faith
and disheveled pauses...
where hours impairs near death
as uncertain answers grow pale
...Waking her slow breaths flowing
from tears... Dad in a stupor :
I dreamed within her own dream
a fervent wish of life restored
that she hears my silent words
her boney figure collapsing --
through the bleakest of bleak nights
numbed from pain ...from agony,
That under panels of glass,
...we clutch onto that wish for life
My dream blending with her plea...
and realize she has learned
to pray with me in the rain.
The Beauty in My Eye
To God be the glory
For everything He's created for His story
All things are beautiful abundantly Soul beautiful for the eye
For Elohim Father makes everything beautiful
The beauty of my eyes the beauty of my eye the beauty in my eye I see myself as he sees me beautiful for in him all things are beautiful the beauty in my eye
Beauty in my eye sustains division that impairs my thoughts resonates as I do stare the beauty in my eye the beauty in my eyes suffice the feelings that are inside I stride I embrace a Saturday as I resonate the beauty I conspire this all consuming in my eye
The Beauty in My Eye
The Beauty in My Eye
The Beauty in My Eye
The Beauty in My Eye
To God be the glory
For everything He's created for His story
All things are beautiful
Abundantly Soul beautiful for the eye
For Elohim Father makes everything beautiful
The beauty of my eyes
The beauty of my eye
The beauty in my eyes
In there be no surprise
There's beauty in the wyes
God beholds all beauty
The beauty in my eyes
Looking through the eyes
Of Him, Father Elohim
I see myself as He sees me
Beautiful for in Him
His all things are beautiful
The beauty in my eye
The Beauty in My Eye
The Beauty in My Eye
The Beauty in My Eye
Beauty in my eye
Sustains division that impairs my thoughts
Resonates as I do stare the beauty in my eye
The beauty in my eyes
Suffice the feelings that are inside, I stride
I embrace a Saturday as I resonate the beauty
I conspire this all consuming in my eye
His all things are beautiful
The beauty in my eye
The Beauty in My Eye
The Beauty in My Eye
The Beauty in My Eye

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2025
Revival
We humans wept for the revival
Nothing nor time can be at arrival
Yet, the redshift of revival was horrendous
It often creeps the dream of wondrous
Sadly, shirked the throbbing drums
Yes! The soreness after the bubblegum
Thumps that messaged the wounds
Click away the silly sticky bounds
We, humans, sobbed for the curves
And constantly impairs the scattered nerves
Universe testified the forbearance
By passing phases of physical sufferance
We, humans, unable to speculate the fade
They rolled the unexpected blades
Blades that cut and curse the embrace
And we kept shouting with space to trace
Time, clicks away the antidote for pure
And eventually vanishes the miles of endure
We, vulnerable, we, vulnerable
We, vulnerable, we, vulnerable
Newness wakes after a decade
Decade of dullness and bone headedness
Create the covering cure and activeness
Yet, unwrap the belief, yet unwrap the belief
We, vulnerable, we, vulnerable.
Darkness cascades,
When dawn fades.
Reigning is rare
Until dusk spades
Into depth of faiths,
Not a day but decades.
Insensitivity impairs
But care repairs
Authenticity is supreme
It's not just in my dream
Anymore on just lash's rim.
Rebirth is not a flair,
It cleaves through twilight
Like an ineffable beam
She walks nimbly, like the mist
that mellows the tender night,
climbing the stairs with her
heavenly grace.
Half moon softly brightens her pale face,
a gentle breeze impairs her long hair.
A vagabond at peace under the bridge
hears her footsteps, so eloquent so brave,
wish he could meet her and her raven dress
in which her body sweetly expresses, all that's
best of brightly universe.
She walks in earnest, like Venus in its
dear dwelling place. He hears
the jackals bark, waiting in the dark.
Today 6 of my haiku were selected and translated on Haiku Column.
Thank you Mine Sensei and Chiaki Sensei. (4th February 2021)
spring rain -
the blessing of forgiveness
hazed in tears -
the poignant moment of departure
spring rain -
the soothing tears of relief
spring storm -
a child cowers under his bed
the first spring wind -
a sprite plays the flute
heat haze -
anger impairs his judgement
--------------------------------
Sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust,
as it mended all patches between knits-
I need not be the tailor that seeks repair,
yet the non-stitching woman who splits.
All things are torn with ease and destruction,
there’s damage found in the one who impairs-
Scars have revealed each wounded soul’s yearning,
as the one with strength has no one who cares.
The war years seemed like only yesterday,
five thousand more wars to come in violence-
no truce in the factions of the pleasure of battle,
as the conflict arrives in volumes of silence.
Obscurity feeds of the starvation of the hungry,
shadows of the ebon night torches a spark-
Light has arrived in all its glory within a lantern,
the candle sputtered, spent, and all was dark.

a heart passionately in love chronically impairs one's noesis lucidly to reason!

* noesis- noun, the psychological result of: perception, learning and reasoning.
vision impairs truth
see clearer with compassion
just
faith will be revealed
The Phoenix
The phoenix it flew
it arose from the ashes
of lives long past.
The flame burst out
crying truths
Calling out
“Gin melathon an-uir”
The gift of life
said crashed through death
As many had fallen
this single had prevailed
Calling out
“Gin melathon an-uir”
The grief of few
Impairs not this one
the fire of joy and love
Had not heed of terror
The phoenix calling out
“Gin melathon an-uir”
Pain ~ ~ ~ pain
Invisible swimmer within blood and vein
Barbaric and callous
Dwells within corpuscles
Intrinsic and inescapable
Source of pool of tears
A lunatic clown that impairs muscles
Schizophrenic display when he batters bones
Free from arrests despite his cruelty
He aches with passion; death's sibling
Oh! don't visit me, friends and family
Comfortable one that renders comfortless all who
live
Smile suppressor; hope vaporizer
Rolling in bed and roars like a lion
Diverter of prayer for wealth desire
"Dear God please give me good health and vigor".
Ease out of life's sorrow, broken, battled one;
let tears wash, assuage; the hurt is done.
Breathe deeply a higher air
perched on Heaven's stair
free of pain,
fair
soul; no stain
such wonder impairs.
Step out on unclouded air!
Your illness over, victory won,
ease out of life's sorrow, broken, battled one.

Tragedy in Black
Come,
Feel it.
Can you sense
Human unrest?
Perhaps jealousy
Creates blurred perception,
Brings unhealthy obsession~
Impairs cerebral functioning
Isolates one and carves out a void.
Trapped in shadows purple black tones avail.

Always felt in my heart, we were in ...........Love
Tried my best to express, but got..............delayed
Wonder, if any chance there......................is
To express my feelings now, for you my......love
I brazenly agree, my love for you, I...........denied
Guilty, I am of this evil called.....................Machismo
More to blame, is my lust to fame...............and
the fury to steady my future.......................career
These materialistic needs clearly.................impairs
The simplistic need of my heart's................vision
Let us put aside the past and stay................Reunited
Never realized, I was always yours, my.........love
Promise, I shall remain true to you...............forever
Fire, our passions, to always brightly............remain
Forever fresh, as, at the start, our love.........sublime
