If only you could see
the forest for the trees
it would feel so good
for then as an evergreen
you'd be out of the woods
and if you cared for me
going out on a limb
tho' not on bended knee
I'd ask you to become
a branch of my family
so near and yet so far
you touched me to
the roots of my heart
and as one fir to another
I bough to you
with all it may impart
for yes I too am a conifer
and what's a tree to do
but stand here in the shade
patiently before I wilt away
while I pine for you
Date me and in my life leave an impart,
Daze me with love, none can tear us apart.
Dare to allow my love into your heart.
Dear, just no longer set my love apart,
Deaf ears must listen to this from the start.
Deal with me this way, and we'll play our part.
Draw inspiration from a working chart,
Drab emotions can't keep good love compact.
Drag your heart in, we'll never depart.
Realize We All Have Gifts We May Impart
To take flight with well splashed and flung ink
See and to live with hope, nod and a wink
Follow course through with a passionate heart
Realize we all have gifts we may impart
Unto others and pray that gives some aid
Again have cheer, hear music well played
Give and in doing so yet live life true
By giving, our fallen spirits renew.
Take flight, let our muse set the newfound course
That from world's darkness, we need a divorce
Hear that loud call from our Savior above
Fine the cheering warmth and hope that is love
Present ripen fruits from a healing tree
In so doing, from our chains become free.

Sonnet
Note: 1
Some verse born from a gift that was given
Thus found, hope and truth- new life worth livin'
In this chaotic world oft gone stark mad
Light vanquishing what was so very sad.
Note: 2
My friend, from your words a seed was planted, a new poem was born....
A godsend, into a world that has now been so ripped and deeply torn...

If I hold you with your spirit mind moving
As I enlist your brains, accomplishments
Ever moving are those cogs, that are within your mind
Ever soothing are those visions within your eyes
And I love your more than less
I love you with righteousness
I love you with the hands of Christ
I love you with everything twice
And I love you with God's eyes
And I love you with Jesus heart
All I know is that I love you now
Every thing that's about you
Your awe-sum your you
Only God has made just one
A spiritual soul you've become
Every thing that you thought
Every word that's you've spoke
I love every syllable spoke, sentence you'll told
I love you more than gold
As I love you with righteousness
I love you with the arms of Christ
I love you to hold just you
I love to pray on my knees just you
As I love you with God's eyes
and I love you with God's heart
This I do I impart you're the love of the love I love
Every thing that's about you
Your awe-sum your you
Only God has made just one
A spiritual soul you've become
This I do I impart you're the love of the love I love

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©
I do not know what words to say
That will impart to you the way I feel
My stomach fills up with butterflies
Each time you are near and oh so real
My heart has been broken and bruised
And it is in such a fragile state
But I am hoping with all my heart
That I will become your soulmate
You possess honesty and honor
Two things I think we both need
Along with so much love and trust
To have it all we must take heed
I trust you with my life sweetheart
More then that I cannot add
You own my heart and soul
I know with you I won't be sad
I come to you with open arms
Loving you with all my heart
Surrounding you with the love I feel
The depth of love no words to impart
For the love and trust you give
I give back to you all I am or hope to be
And I hope you desire all I have to give you
And offer love that shall belong only to me

To Impart
(kyrielle Sonnet)
All those who learn each day to live
Shall have much joy and peace to give
For there is love deep in their heart
That does embrace it and impart.
With the strength of tomorrow’s days
There shall be some comforting praise
And within the shadows of love
There comes a treasure from above.
Leaving the heart’s door open wide
To let the sunshine love inside
For all the friendship that we make
Are the blessings for us to take.
When all the work on earth is done
We shall become forever one.
