I AM
one of the swirling celestial bodies
trailing beyond a galaxy’s realm so luminous...
and Jupiter’s neon threads spin , while Orion
and meteors glide along planetary zones
with glazed fingers of light,
floating on colored frames. Somehow,
I am many when my stars parade,
aligning with earth, bursting from each equinox.
And my outer spirit reels into a lunar dance;
every axis heightening flamed energy
while humans throb in their own center...
a metallic twirl, a rhymed tap
entering into a MULTIVERSE, chaste as
the blending circles of moon, dust, sun...
and mankind tries to understand
this wonder of this fluid spectacle---
halo of my Andromeda crown...till
a voice from Genesis echoes,
' Now the whole world has one language.'

were nebulae outside the Milky Way. One of
them was known as the Andromeda

“Kafka Disordered”
Kafka disordered
never complete
in himself
burning stories
fuel for Nero
dreams of you
reading him
wrapt under
the covers
of his last pages
tattooing his voice
on your tongue
lips pass keys
legs entwined
love notes
never run

“Every thing you love
is very likely to be lost,
but in the end,
love will return
in a different way.”

In nineteen twenty-four
Cupid sent Signals
to broad cast
"...j'adore!..."
and in return
her perfume
became the How
Who moved the Moon
"... while I might have said comb,
I included your tombs too, honey..."
we're half the way now
and the other way soon
"... Cliff-notes the spark..."
Andromeda sent to start
"... both slopes..."
in kind and in tune
"... hey Scully, it's me, Bones..."
A Sound re-pair...
in Gratitude
"... there was a longing
for a little attitude
in their hearts..."
and so they were lifted
and gifted with parts
all fit for The Time
"... y'all put our number
right
on the outside?..."
pretty easy secret I'd say,
to find
“Absinthe”
Ancient petite green fairy,
dispenser of dreams vivid
In bar corners; this artistic
Madam, beckons the unwary.
Dignity falls beneath each pour,
dispenser of solitude encapsulates
between torn silk; its perfumed
whore, mont Venus in folklore.
Spinning giddy a celestial passion
dispenser of maggots all consuming
ego remains scattered; spilt lipped
wife, her lovers as dogs of a-fashion.
Oh petite liquid fairy so green
dispenser of timeless moon time
cold laying broken; a smudged jack
heart, jackass bitten, pale so lean.
Swirling in an andromeda ceiling
dispenser of ruination vomit bound,
breasts motion blurred; faceless mother
substitute, this fairy, with dawn deceiving .
On the wall standing
Amidst the danger encroaching
Mirrors the alligator’s razors
Securely entrenched in mud waiting
A boa slides into the deep...
The seconds tick amicably.
A table for two served yet again
Another tango about to be untangled
Periodic busts of water
Jet from the sighing sea...
A canoe capsizes
In this noonday medley
A suckling amidst the troubled current
Heads gaily for the sea’s bed...
Another scene, the serene sea
Running a sapid gold hue
Allows a fluttering dove above admiringly
To the nonchalant glare
In the distant horizon
Of the setting sun.
Afar the mongrels howl
At grotesque elements from hade...
Suddenly Andromeda hurtles through the sky
In search of her Medusa-defeated lover
Provoking Hercules into a riotous laughter
As its echoes furious might does Atlantis in...
I strolled upon the crests of darkened hills
reveling at the fragrant aroma of daffodils
Suddenly, stardust glittered in a nearby field
Its enchanted power was amazingly revealed.
A single sunflower towered at great height
Shadowed orb wide open, unusual in the night
Its leaves sparkled, but could a star cause this?
An unlikely occurrence ~ something was amiss.
Was I imagining the vision of this phenomena?
Perhaps it was a heavenly sign from Andromeda
The moon dipped lower in the cerulean sky
as I watched the bloom with the cyclops eye.
Had a mystical spell been cast over my mind?
If so, it was a gift of the most wondrous kind
I was enrapt by the aura of a sunflower in glory.
Sadly, bereaved when no one believed my story.
Lift your eyes to view in the midnight sky and gaze at:
Andromeda Galaxy
Asteroids
Orion’s Belt
The Big Dipper
North Star
Pleiades
Pluto
Venus
Saturn
Jupiter
Mars
Moons
Comets
Meteors
Stars
Magellanic Cloud of Galaxies
Special is to view all these spectacular sites with our
eyes here on our home nest.
Yet, what we see with our eyes is but “a Minuscule speck,”
this compared to the enumerable rest.
"Great and glorious is the Lord God, of Host."
Look at His grand colossal enormous cosmos.
We giving thanks for having under our feet on
a place called Earth; a most experiential and
most scenic of nest a very big speck.
Midnight silent
And as the sun burning
My flesh is redden and blacken
Pangs and pains
Bruise skin
Like a kingdom full of sunlamps
Brightly
Eyes blinded by the lights
Skin torrid pains
When I thought of the sunlight
Deep into that darkness waiting
Blinded by mid days sun a brazen
Brightly
I crave the darkness, lonely luminescence
When I thought of the sunlight
That lights, light basking
and the photosphere never congratulating
eagerly I looked for the andromeda galaxy
eagerly I looked for the ionosphere
Brightly
I threw my heat upon the cool breeze
in there stepped an agog 'zodiacal light'
only this and a golden glow brightly
Suddenly, I heard the sunshine some glowing
Brightly
the dayside brought such sorrow
somewhat louder than the Ferrero
My mind always strays to quasars
Rev up motors lights
as It threw its ghost against the atoms
Deep into that darkness shining
Shining ever so, so
Brightly

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
He's strumming the guitar strings as if they weep,
near a warm campfire on a cold December night.
Sad chords of his song hold many secrets to keep.
Through Ponderosa pines, whistling winds sweep
while a silver moon hovers, lustrous and bright.
He's strumming the guitar strings as if they weep.
Visions of her appear. Each cutting cruelly deep,
memories that should never be brought to light.
Sad chords of his song hold many secrets to keep.
The fire sputters, causing golden flames to leap,
crimson embers and dark ashes rise up in flight.
He's strumming the guitar strings as if they weep.
Over rolling plains, echoing cries of coyotes sweep.
His heart fills with regret and he's gravely contrite.
Sad chords of his song hold many secrets to keep.
Serenading Andromeda, too restless for sleep.
Fingers picking the fret as he sings about his plight,
he's strumming the guitar strings as if they weep.
sad chords of his song hold many secrets to keep.

IN PRAISE OF BEAUTY
O beauty allure, beauty of the hyacinth
Doused by wailing drops of dew shroud
And pierced by the radiant shaft of heaven,
Through the rituals of purity
To tread the virginal soil of Venus.
O like the scenery
Of the splendid garden of Aphrodite,
With Pageantry, the art of Pothos and Himeros,
The pearly dross most sought after
Like a wand that spelled all the eyes of men.
Dazzling aurorae shimmering in deep shadows;
Figure beholding the twinkling crown, Andromeda.
Sunrise awaking the greenery;
Ascending furrowed amber terrain of
The gloaming by the countryside!
Habendum et tenedum!
Before the lily white altar an avowal
Of chastity and tranquility enshrined;
On a feather-quilted bed day and night
With love elixir soothing the body and the soul!
Soul melody in the diatonic harmony of
Meshed contralto with resonating baritone.
Swell the homophonic rhythm of Azande
As the pitch from my lips wears and declines
And the tempo of my heart increases!
Scented lavender wafting through the subtle air;
An aromatic morning of rose bathed with dew
That transports the mind beyond the earthly realm
And captures the heart at whim
Lost in the imagination of the form and frame.
Culinary variety spread in a romantic atmosphere
In candlelight banquet of cream and crimson;
Sheer delicacy, man’s greatest savour
Whose delights subsist even in her absence;
Whose substance transcends life’s ideal.
O beauty, within my heart dwells, enrapturing neurons
Let no worldly cataract becloud your glory
Through my eyes of mine, forever!
