I consume to fill a painful, aching emptiness,
My spirit residing in a dark void of an abyss.
I long to be my man's revered empress.
I love harder, more than need to impress.
I despair in my own world full of aether.
Many ways in which I can fall and falter.
I rather be nothing like my mother or father,
But truth is I'm a mix of their worst together.
I silently stay forever at war with ego within,
Hoping for one to give me a different spin.
I rather be better than whom I have been,
But I struggle to be one who'll always win.
I love deeply, madly, truly, so never forget
Once my heart sets on you, I'll never regret
The way I risked my life without any fret,
To find you, and for you, my life I will bet.
Be wary, child.
There are too many leeches and traitors.
Think twice,
for your ignorant heart will end you.
For people they drain you, to be.
For they are all too shallow,
if not for the life you give.
So they lie,
they steal,
the only soul you have to feel,
until,
you drop all your dreams, to heal.
You see I feel, that some will feed on your heart.
I may have wronged sometimes,
but be sure that I never killed, but scarred.
I just as hungry, these words guard,
it is who I am and oh living is art.
Though it can be impossibly hard,
I will dance and sing and write,
until I depart.
Be wary,
there are people who want to breathe,
drained by a world, drowning in grief.
So never blame nobody, for facing defeat.
We are only human, we just want to be.
We just want to love, as well as be loved.
Be seen for all of our priceless worth,
and every single one of us deserves,
to never hurt.
So while there are leeches and traitors,
know that it’s fine.
Nobody ever means to cross the line.
So take it all one day at a time,
and keep swimming deep inside that lonely mind.
Know that it will all be alright,
and I have nothing but love, no more fight.
My words may bite, but they don’t fly right,
ignited by a pain, only I can write.
So don’t read between the lines.
Instead just come and find,
your home where you know you might.
Just say one word and you’ll find the light.
The sun will rise again and shine as bright,
all you have to do,
is take this hand before it falls tired.
iF I hunger would you feel me
If I were down trodden would you lift me
If I were not loved by any other, human
would you love me
would you love me
would you be bothered wit me
would you come and see me
if I were trapped in bonded would you free me
if I were alone would you come visit me
what about me
would you be
God's got me

WRITTEN WORDS BY JAMES EDWARD LEE SR. ©2020
“fragrance of love divine, our pied piper,
just following the scent, we climb higher”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thirst for divine union, the causation
High and low we search, amidst illusion
Each time we fall, we sink in depression
Pointing way optimal, is our conscience
Alerting us if we begin to stray
Trials of earth life throw us way off balance
Hardships to mind body, cause us to sway
Lost in the maze, we then enter silence
Ego yet pursues, luring us away
Stillness gets us back to the divine dance
Surrender to join this beauteous play
Pining for God connect, the path we take
Alert and mindful in silence tranquil
Treading gently, the ego we forsake
Heightening bliss within, Gods miracle

(syllabic rhyming Acrostic)
Her sharp words echo, carving through my mind,
A prayer escapes my lips for some peace to find.
Upon my bed I cry and pray to You,
And often wonder if Your word is true.
But who am I to doubt Your tender love
When You have shown me mercies from above?
The God Who made the world, the sky and sea
Sees me for who I am, and still loves me.
Almighty One who calls the stars by name
Forgives my sins and covers all my shame.
He knows my heart, my every flaw and scar,
And yet He says His love is never far.
Despairing, hoping for a friend to dry
These tears of wistful sorrow that I cry.
Alone and broken, waiting for a sign
That I can heal this aching heart of mine.
But who am I to doubt your saving grace
When You have brought me safely to this place?
The God Who calms the storms and conjures rain
Will wipe away my tears, and break my chains.
Almighty One who made the moon and sun
Has said His work in me is far from done.
He knows my heart, my every flaw and scar,
And yet He says His love is never far.
Though I may walk through the darkest valley,
I’ll fear no evil, for You are with me.
Every restless night You have seen me through
My love and my life, I owe them to You.
So I’ll shake off the dust, mend these broken wings,
And one day with choirs of angels I’ll sing.
The God Who watches sparrows watches over me;
His Spirit makes me who I ought to be.
Almighty One Who commands legions up above
Is still redeeming us with His great love.
He knows every dark crevice of my heart,
And yet He says His love is never far.
to always have this feeling
a feeling that never quits
as it is more depressing
the deeper and darker that it gets
it seems that all these blackened walls
keep closing in on me
where there's not a day i can't recall
of ever feeling free
it's a miracle this broken heart
can keep up with its beats
this feeling that i'm not at all
never seems to leave
shadows in the corners of my soul
beating the happiness out of me
depression has the remote control
changing channels as i breathe
i always have this feeling
that i'm feeling will never quit
it gets more depressing
the deeper and darker that it gets
Was speaking with a friend yesterday that goes through bouts of depression. I really don't understand and that saddens me. I wish I could help but I really don't know how.
## Drenching Sunlight
I am drenched by the sunlight.
I can only go out in night.
For, me, my sins have clenched.
By the sunlight I am drenched.
Moon lies shattered in your eyes.
After my sins no good can suffice.
I lay in the night quietly battered.
In your eyes, Moon lies shattered.
The days are uncomfortable.
Is the good unattainable?
When I wake up, will I be outta this daze?
Uncomfortable are the days.
Being dry remains my comfort.
But in day, I stay alert.
Can't expect anything from soaking light.
Remains my comfort being dry.
When I like raindrops,
All the drenching stops.
Maybe I can be something then.
I like raindrops when.
Before the laughter cries
Defeatist tears flow down your eyes
I walk on in my mind into the beginning this place
The space where God gives me Amazing Grace
Compelled to relish and sinful pride
Caught up locked up and deceitful lies
Where is the forgiveness
Why have I been dismissed
By chance that I should do or die
So in reverence I see to repent
For I hear the Lord's Battle Cry
Where is my happiness
I digress
Such a mind
So unkind
Intertwined
Benign
I seek God's grace
I stand before Him in the forgiveness place

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2021
I don’t think I have ever written another poem of such emotional intensity! I was bedridden for almost four months. It was at such a desperate moment that I thought of scribbling down my feelings of despair and I found words coming out like a sudden spurt! It was a new awakening! I wrote nearly 34 poems in a period of nearly two and a half months, all in bed which I included in my first collection entitled BEATS. I still believe it was something providential...! Never had I written a single poem before!!
Left alone in a dull and dreary mood,
With none to lean on and look for,
I tethered my soul to sordid gloom,
And chained my fancy, never letting it soar.
Dull were the days and sore were the nights,
Time slouched on in mechanical beats.
Mind devoid of all buoyant thoughts,
Senses shut to every cheery throb of life,
I lay awake, staring on the ceiling above,
My eyes, so lost in a fixed stare,
Never a smile lighted up my stony face,
Nor a gleam of hope brightened up my brain.
Inertia crept over from head to foot.
I had long lost my zest for life,
With life saps drained out like an empty well,
I felt nothing but the heat of scorching drought.
Nothing could move my grief laden soul,
None could lift the weight off my back,
Embers of fire sparked from the anvil of my heart,
Heaves of sighs escaped from parched mouth,
I wriggled and writhed in unspeakable pain,
My spirits sank deeper into a slithery marsh,
I saw around only a thick pall of gloom,
Or was it a projection of my own self?
Anguish gnawed my nerves and sinews,
Flames of pain danced within my spine,
I felt my head so heavy and beginning to reel,
And the heavy weight of lead all around my neck.
I felt being pushed down to abysmal depths,
And the octopus tightening its tentacles all around
Who on earth will set me free?
What on earth can lift me up?
With thundering force, the question shook my weary self.
I sprang to my feet and broke loose my chains,
I found I was but in self – exile,
A captive entrapped within boundless space.
I saw the door opening to infinite lengths,
And the arched horizon looming larger than life,
I spread my wings and propelled up,
And darted through the clouds to distant shores,
Never to come down, where I thought I could dwell forever.
Most men will tell you
What you want to hear nothing more
I guess I'm foolish
For opening up my heart and the door
I've let you into my mind
My heart and my soul
To remove any doubt
But I guess it's time I go
And the only thing that I can say is:
I'm sorry for being me
I'm sorry that I want you
It's beyond my self control
If I made you feel uncomfortable
I'll slam the opened door
That won't change what is out there
Or the words that you've seen
I'm sorry, yes I'm sorry.....
I'm sorry for being me
My intentions weren't made in haste
I'm, sorry for your time I waste
And for me
You'll always be the one
I've been around for way too long
Guess I've, held to feelings way too strong
And I'm sorry
Yes I'm sorry for being me
I'm sorry for my wanting you
Sorry that I have to choose
Between my heart
And hoping you will see
I sometimes thought and believed
That you, cared as much right back at me
But I'm sorry
Sorry for being me
This apology is my goodbye
I'm, walking out of your life
I guess, it's only easier this way
I guess that I should tell you thanks
And I, pray you'll someday get the chance
To feel, the way I feel for you
I'm sorry
So sorry
Sorry for loving you
I'm sorry yes I'm sorry
I'm sorry for being me
