THE SILENT LOVER
I knew well, you fell in love with me
Your eyes reflected ardent ardor
But it seemed blunt, not sparkling splendor.
Felt pity yet no weakness.
You were not the right person
Most ordinary version,
not my Mr. Perfect with desired intellect.
My blooming youth with promising present
and aspiring future was the prime truth.
Your eagerness to come close seemed ridiculous to me.
It was oblivious not to reciprocate!
On long journey of life, such trivial happenstances may appear
quite natural, I did not indulge and chose my own way.
Time passed by.
Now still static old age lying supine
on burnt ashes of dynamic youth revealing ruthless truth.
Lamentation of losing your modest lavender love
secreted nectar of amorous flow oozing from abyss of my heart
yielding a pearl of dolor.
Now no way left to adore you with my pearly passion.

Real happenstances may be scary,
illusive or even be imaginary.
Octopus dancing twisting eight tentacles.
. Witty wicked witch showing miracles.
Kid of ghost laughs loud and merrily swings
Valorous vampires spreading thick dark wings.
Gibbous Moon peeping through clouds winks wizard.
Owl whirling round eyes turning head backward.
Unicorn washing horn in blood with soap.
Ghosts in tug of war with python as rope.
To fight with enormous huge angry elephant
rushing crowd of aggressive migratory ants.
Vicious vultures acting gymnast taking vault.
Hawks in flock started to gallop and took a halt.
Micro cat chasing macro mouse wagging tails.
Me, as lone witness trembling, and heart fails.

Am I walking through Ways of Providence ?
or walking just to struggle on my own !
I am confused , also amused to sense
reality ! Am I guided or lone ?
Are pre- scheduled all the happenstances !
Am I instructed by Divine Power ?
Is there a supreme strength to embower ?
Or, I surrender to circumstances !
Does Divine Guidance fabricate my fate ?
Then life will turn purposeless - meaningless.
No use of brain -mind-soul to navigate.
Just to be flooded , careful or careless.
How can you define , what is Providence ?
It's Supremacy in your soul to stay.
On Moral Values , carry Reverence.
Ways of Providence will be shown, I say.
FATE
Fate may step in life
as best friend
or puts me in strife,
beyond prediction,
beyond prevention,
somehow compulsion.
Sometimes silent,
sometimes loud,
flashing bright or
showing cloud.
Fate’s footfalls
may be slow or rapid,
accessing success
or making stupid.
Good fate may appear
on sudden gust,
doing miracles.
Ill luck when came,
putting me in shame.
Failed to overcome
hindrances.
Uncontrollable
happenstances.
Fate the Dictator !

Yesterday
Ever since held high idea on own intellect
depending on self confidence .
Determined to carry performance
for everything which I may decide to select.
Through journey of life, many times I met hazards
ending in compulsive failure.
No way, but I had to endure.
My intellect couldn't find how to proceed onwards.
Today
Day by day I gained experience, how to deal
with happenstances on my life,
so that I'll be less deprived.
My intellect captured wisdom to get it sealed.
My wisdom trained intelligence to compromise.
Now I adjust and change myself.
so that I get maximum help.
Today I'm enough wise not to fall but to rise.
LOVING MEMORIES
My cousin sister five years older was so close to me.
She held a great polite heart, never thought to hurt anybody.
Neither cherished grudge nor complaint against those rude to her
Even she never used any harsh word to those who misbehaved.
I had special adoration bathed in showers of her affection.
Over and above she was the mirror of my childhood.
She preserved my most memorable happenstances
which I had left behind but she could rewind.
She is now counting days totally bedridden,
lying supine helpless, always praying for death.
Her only longing is now to draw last breath.
She was good, she acted good, fully devoted to family.
How and why she was passing through this miserable phase!
No proper precise rules of Nature exist to regulate life.
She holds a high rank in the list of my loving memories.

Fail-Safe
While venturing on uneven path of life
Fair chances to slip or slide at every strife!
Or to tumble on rumbles of obstacles:
How to tackle the shackles of hindrances!
My brain alarms sending advice
'Keep always Fail-Safe device
active and alert to control and support.
I dream ceaseless and continue my dreams
as I proceed and wish to succeed.
Dormant desires display designs of ambition
through lattice of dreams in light and shadow of happenstances.
Fail-Safe device to guard and guide.
It's my pride
as I dream and dream till fulfillment.

Sometimes in things that happen
In happenings things
Those circumstances
Happenstances
Sometimes may make you cringe
~
When the sun goes round
Offen times apparents somethings
Sometime sometimes comes down
Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of unseen
You don't have to see it, to believe it
~
With your EyEs gate
Because unseeness is real
Yet when the clouds comes faith
And then the rains falls feels
All is focus maybes comes
~
Sometimes in things that happen
In happenings things
Those circumstances
Happenstances
Sometimes may make you cringe
~~~~~
The unknown is known, hasn't happen yet
Sometimes sometime comes God's blesses

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2026
Important happenstances continue to echo
in future life also.
Might be attenuated in pitch
reduced in slow decay.
being filtered with passage of time
My Dad was my Idol, Philosopher and Guide
to inspire, instruct, direct and protect me.
His advices continuously echo in my mind
on same strength without losing intensity .
'Echo Filtering Reality' at least failed in this aspect
I strictly follow all his instructions
throughout my life till date.
His blessings and affection showering me
all along echoing in my soul, just unfiltered.
The voices of my Dad to echo in my ears
not fading with Time but guarding me at every step.
