The time I got from eternity made me a part of you,
as my desire flared like the blazing galaxy of the cosmos,
I was keen to see the day my dreams would come true,
when your love will pull me though the void of oneness.
The sense of yearning came in the zero hour of awakening,
soaring on the dreaming wings of the silenced time,
stalled in my sky where you glided like a consumed star,
its catching cadence created a surreal symphony in my heart.
The rhythm of celestial music harmonized with my essence,
where the ethereal emotions sank in the space of rhapsody
that wrapped you and me, blending us together forever,
consecrated the concept of capturing craving called love.
At the acme of surreal desire of magnetic longing,
the private space between us imploded to nothingness.
Our fused souls then turned into oblivious singularity,
suspended in the deep space of invisible obscurity.
As your captivating allure sucked my psyche within you,
bending my self-control and deforming my sense of time,
I gravitated with my stellar passion at fervent horizon of fusion,
lost myself within your infinite depth of black hole love.
Not that Jack and Jill
Jack took Jill up the hill
On the pretext of fetching water
But the need for some weed
Was a far more pressing order.
The hill was all green with flowers asunder
When they lit the pipe so they could go under
Jack inhaled deeply and spied Jilly with a posy
She took the pipe and took it in till her cheeky were rosy
They lay a while, and closed their eyes, the birds all chirps and singing
The clouds floated and bobbed their beards as weed and ecstasy collided
The sky was bluer, the grass greener, the air fresher as senses imploded.
Another puff, eyes closed, and images dance in the gentle breeze
As clouds part, God appears, staff in hand, smiling with ease.
All sounds are dappled, all objects move slowly, deliberately
I guess I wanted a friend so bad ,
you'll probably think I'm mad,
but i did not check and see if they were gonna be fake
i guess i thought there would be no pain caused
as i rake
up all my pain
and realize i should have seen all the signs of a dagger coming to stab me
in the back
cause all of those secrets and bonds created
have just imploded
i guess you have a knack
for stabbing people in the back
I've asked your old friends
and they all say your daddy issues are
only starting to be amends
even thought now knowing wat your problem is i
still wonder
if you hate me ,
why you want to hurt me,
like what did I do to you
to deserve such a painful relationship with you
and why did you betray me like this
oh wait i know cause your a fake friend
with a fake heart
but i realize that
I've gotta give you the benefit of the doubt
and treat you better than you treat others in order for your heat to become real again.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
"Here comes trouble" some people said,
just because his hair was red..
He saw he was different with his bright,
red mane but knew on the inside he was
likely the same..
Most days he just stood there and smiled
as they chanted "you redheaded step child".
At times he was wounded by their troubling taunts,
their teasing echoed in his head, like ghosts, they'd haunt..
Labeled a "fire cracker", he rarely exploded. He took it
all in and eventually imploded.
This poor little boy longed for some one to say,
"He has red hair cause God made him that way."
When you were no more
I felt a distance.
That of absolute solitude
Like lost stars within infinities
That have both petrified and imploded.
I felt like ice.
Frozen, stunned and vaguely shedding.
In a sea of torrents of sorrows and bitter emptiness
I felt like
The biggest part of me ran off without a goodbye or sign thereof.
To never land
Like I was falling
And I would never land.
I felt like
You
You were that part of me.
That magnified my being.
Made me feel more than and not equal to or less.
And now alas
I feel imaginary, insolvable, the square root of a negative value.
A little less than nothing
A little more than stagnant
This is.
When I think of you
And
You are not.
Blackened romance
Corroded my heart
Eroded my self-confidence
Imploded my reality
Jaded age
Defined a decade
Designed my damnation
Resigned to loneliness
Poison damage
Races through my blood
Chases the youthful high
Places me on the gallows pole
Happiness is fleeting
Retreating at the first obstacle
Defeating my delight
Depleting my will to live
A cacaphony of calamity
Insanity is doing it over and over
In vanity is a priceless sin
Inhumanity, oh what a burden
The youth in me is dead
Led astray by toxic attractions
Fed by those who made me hate myself
Shed a tear for I never had a chance
I sit behind the computer
scripting the daily lesson plan,
while hoping there’s no intruder,
of them I’m not an eager fan.
A guest speaker comes to impart
something in boring monotone.
I hope he imparts something smart
or I’ll be reading on my phone.
A meeting scheduled noon today
is for, I’m not sure what or why!
The dull message makes my mind stray;
for this once, I wish time would fly!
My pencils are sharpened just so.
The computer is securely encoded.
My thoughts are ready to outflow
and my brain is close to imploded.
My nails are done; my hair is styled;
new shoes I bought last month, or week.
Addled from the hard push so wild,
the harried week seems rather bleak.
All tasks done as guideline bids.
Today is our convocation.
I don’t know about all the kids,
But I need a long vacation!
The Walls Are Closing In
Today I woke to a bad day
History told me so
Everything I tried to do imploded…
Why? You may well ask
And you’d be justified
Let’s just say, I have experience
Losing things, time, meanings
Seems I can’t choose right from wrong
Abject, indeed I was
Reaching for my book of words
Every last thought replicated
Could I find answers in the pages
Lessen the blow, the flow?
Only if I found the right leaf
Silencing what I don’t want to know
I read, I read to no avail
No answer coming from within
God, the walls are closing in…
I’m sorry, today’s a bad do
Not on the same page as you.

As the local transit bus stopped and unloaded
Seconds after, a powerful bomb exploded.
We knew that terrorists had struck again,
Causing mistrust and fear, to everyone’s chagrin
Nearby a ten-story apartment house imploded.

There is no shake, downpour, or spring of gushing lava blast.
In the forest happened a noisy emission.
The air was punctured by a tremendous blaze.
Appalling occasions are started by fear and disarray.
Harm happens in a horrible circumstance.
The air was somewhat lifeless, without vexation.
All the untamed life in the area is in coercion.
Shouted, hollered, ran, and imploded In disturbance.
The number of fatalities in the wave condition.

Neutron binary star collision
Drifting in the ether, most of my adult life
Drawn toward a magnetar, she's a prototype
Exotic matter unimaginable, powerless to repress
Mercurial wondrous, one time star has turned goddess
Imploded onto my scene, light weeks ago
Contains only neutrons, emits an ovulating glow
Trapped in her energy, I've become a willing feeder
Stripping off my outer layers, every orbit I come nearer
Accretion disc envelopes me, she siphons off my matter
Relentlessly devouring, inexorably I'm growing flatter
An inverted death embrace, drains the life from me
Oozing radioactive plasma, overcome by gravity
Nothing left to give our marriage, togetherness remain
Resting on her surface, satisfying each others pain
Pulsating forever, orgasming every few seconds
Lovers radiate jets, ejaculation going errant

Words drained, blood empty.
Liquid poets imploded,
Poured and stained upon each page,
Given to the superficial sacrifice of meaning.
There is no truth
Which we did not participate in making;
Ours for the taking
In downward spiral steps contrived.
All stars our own to swim,
All space our whim.
Our standard stopped.
Desires dropped
Intermittent fires out
Behind the eye of every host.
Fighting memory, now a ghost
Encased in stones.
Trading one another;
Slingshot yo-yos born
To farthest reaches.
Each annoyance adding
To the proof of scales.
We wear them as a cloak,
Then shed their skin.
Our new man never comes.
The old, erupted once; always
Hung by tinsel strands and strung
Upon a pleasured dome
That some call home,
Yet we dream a coming dawn.
Carriages and motored monuments
Stilled in rarer moments, filled
With each ones essence.
Dwindling our quality of existence
Until we meet at dawn
That man who never comes,
To walk the earth
In shoes that never were.
exploding star
her center has imploded
cosmic fireworks
swept away and tossed about by vicious seas
somehow i managed to survive and drift ashore
dark the day my world imploded
when i wrote off forevermore my shattered heart
grim the day my life lost sense and reason
yet i managed somehow to march on through
harsh the day i walked you to the doors of death
letting go of your hand to become a widow
