Lavished Poems

A Place Of Sanity Sought

When the mind stops, blank without thought,
It goes to a place of sanity sought.
For sanity is to chaos’ distain,
That place where silence and calm are gain.

It’s from this place of quiet and calm,
That peace can bring a healing balm.
As soothing as a soft cool breeze,
This time of peace will surely please.

It’s here when lavished in such pleasure,
One gets a grasp of life’s measure.
This may not be the only way,
But it is available most any day.

Here a new direction the mind will seek,
A way to live well and be unique.

Time For Champagne

Loving being bubbly-lavished; 
May I have my flute replenished? 
Never have I felt so special - 
Overflowing with lush delight. 
Ply me with sweetness all night long.

GOOD NEW DAY PRAYER 3

Good New Day Dear One;
We've awaken beautiful;
Graced  in our Father's grace; 
Favored in His joy, peace,
and love. Hallelujah!
We are His beloved
"God bless you ,
you are going to have;
A Beautiful Grand Day;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2024 


"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called Children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him."
1 John 3:1-2

THE ZIGGURAT

The Ziggurat


So.
I am completed now,
and what have you learned 
that you did not already know?

Closer to the gods, I suppose,
who seem somewhat indifferent
if you ask me.
You are the ones making all the noise.

I have no complaint.
You treat me well.
You lavished millions of man-hours 
to forge and lay my bricks.
You commissioned the finest work of artisans 
to inscribe my walls.

I am admired,
worshiped perhaps, by many
(not all, I notice - I will keep their secret).

I do stand tall and imposing,
and the view is quite nice.

The birds, in particular, seem to be appreciative,
catching soft thermals from my sloped sides.
They glide without effort at the pinnacle;
some even daring to land.

And that’s about it for me.
What did YOU have in mind?

Deadbeat Dad

Your age is not a piece 
Of this purple puzzle unique
To your lavished life 

You have cars that you give gas
But you ignore filling up little lad
Or little lady as a dad

So many fathers with less are bothered
Sacred fishing trips 
Creeks lakes in which take a dip

You’ve been selfish and elfish 
Your miniature application of affection 
Doesn’t match or make a connection

Love is an action word
Not just felt and heard
But received with red receipts 

How dare you never call
Never show up to talk
Never walk the holy walk despite flaws

Someone did father you
So you have a clue
What to do

There are men born of sin
Who had much less than
And they are awesome father’s awesome men

Don’t worry he was taught
To love you though you do not
Deserve that which you don’t give freely

You want a trophy
A son for cookouts and parties
When will you figure out you need

To start with an apology and 
A conversation so deep
It erases the negativity

You are forgetting
Your seed is a part of your destiny
You can’t keep running

Happy Harmony

Ravishing Romeo, you rule my heart
Softly have you ravaged my senses
I'm yours to control, completely yours
Darling, you are dashing and smashing
My beloved better half, I'm besotted with you
You're my treasure, my prince, my pleasure
Mon amour, I love you, my magical mister
You're the answer to my persistent prayers
God's gift, you lift my soul and make me whole
Mystery man, you're the missing piece, 
the succulent slice of my life puzzle
My tender tease, my tantalizing tormentor, 
I adore you, admire you, this I admit
My missing rib owner, you own me and owe me love
You are rampaging me, changing me for the better
My heaven-sent helpmeet, how you hold me in your heart! 
I'm your siren, singing a sentimental serenade for you
You've ravished me, lavished me with your flaming fervour
My large-hearted lover, you light up my life with your love
My daring dearie, let us dance in our dreams with dandelions
Let us paint panoramic pictures of pure passion
Together, let's chart new chapters of chromatic chemistry
Come, let's create a cherubic symphony, 
a happy harmony in sync with each other.

STRADIVARIUS

longingly, eyes
look on with lust;
the luster
lavished on
the polished violin -

the Stradivarius
as if
hourglass-shaped.

the sigh of sex
upon
the inanimate,
animated
by man.

the shudder, the gulp
of two bonded
in sin - its possession.

the greed, the tingle
of melodic light,
as the bow mambos 
a c r o s s  the strings.

the instrument
and the violinist,
necking
and naked. she’s

well-preserved,
reserved for the elite.

Jimmy Was An Only Child

Jimmy was an only child
Henrietta’s only son
She had built him up
Lavished him with praise
Told him how handsome he was
He had always believed it
There was nothing humble about him
This had cost him two wives and several jobs
He was trying to be more down-to-earth
He is still fighting self-vanity
But he is almost tolerable now

Redeemer

Born in Adam's sin, same as all mankind,
I was lost and unaware of my plight.
My wayward heart was desperately blind,
Then You came into my darkest night,
And showered me with Your holy light.

My Redeemer, You found me in my despair,
From brokenness You healed and set me free.
You lavished me with love and showed you care,
By purchasing my freedom on Calvary.
You shed your blood to pay sin's price for me.

There is no way I could ever repay,
The price You paid to save my very soul.
All you ask is for me to follow Your way.
To share Your love and walk by faith my goal,
My Redeemer can truly make you whole.

Grace

Neglecting spouse
on tempting lover 
lavished 
champagne and roses
luxury car... caviars
blue pearls on satin
perfumed embracing
on burning sands 
of passion 
on meadows bed
asleep in arms 
of vices
deadness hidden
by green 
of wrapping vines
like tree 
when dead twice
night of heat
turned ice
from corpse 
in horror 
running
weightless will 
untrained to resist
sucked in by vacuum 
despairing  in 
God's mercy
immersed in pride
to pay unpaid bill
Love required
on its descent to fire
looked up to see
resplendent more 
than sun
The Spouse
springtime of ages
reflecting in her gaze
opening gate
of Paradise 
her smile
divine
then shutting.

The Choicest Decision

Choices fall on chances,
Scratched hard on inner voices. 

The, that proposes sacred lotuses,
In contentment, poised as rejoices,
Profoundly, altered the straits of moises,
And lavished, with own choicest decisions. 

Of no imperialistic befitting,
The Mannered in contemptuous setting,
Mystifying, the paddles of uplifted sailing,
And begrudged, on own contents of failing. 

The, that is not on ends yet,
The pinched on sides in a null set,
Regrettably, in the sweat beads of taunt,
And cornered, beaten by own away cast. 

Chances on it that troubles,
The edged and resounding doubles,
The choiced, on it that rightly humbles,
And sided, fancied in unbounded struggles.

We Learn Lessons Daily In Grade School

A church gifted fifty turkey dinners to our students’ families.
One family was given two boxes of produce, meat and desserts.
Because they had seven children, and their parents were out of work.
They were appreciative, and lavished thanks on us.
One mother refused to come by the school to pick their box up.
A teacher drove an hour out of her way to deliver turkey, stuffing, pies,
We discovered later that the children did not receive this dinner.
“It would have been too much work” the mother told them.
Working in a grade school teaches us a new lesson daily.

Sleep

"He gives His beloved sleep"-Bible

When given 4 hours of sleep,
I am greatly relieved.
When endowed with 6 hours of sleep,
I woke up very refreshed.

When blessed to sleep 8 hours,
I am pleasantly relaxed.
If allowed to sleep 10 hours,
I would be sore and tired.

If lavished with 12 hours of sleep,
it would be a first, and I would feel
I missed something or
was left behind.
