You Make Me

Let's talk 
Amazing conversation
Look what we creating 
We creating memories 
Memory lane 
The way you make me feel 
I won't complain 
You make me feel special 
Safe and secure
You make me feel so sure
Sure of myself , sure of us 
Boy you still make me blush 

You make me feel 
Like this is real 
You make me see 
A future with you and me 

Phone calls, a simple text 
Wonder what happens next  
A date or an outing
Boy I'm not doubting
I'm amazed at what you do
You pick out the little things to 
That's a plus 
You understand 
That you want me to be your girl and I want you to be my man 
Like the Zapp band 
 A huge fan 
Biggest supporter
Helping you through any water 
I hope that you can see 
What you truly do to me 

You make me feel 
Like this is real 
You make me see 
A future with you and me

I feel good 
I feel safe 
I feel like these feeling can't be erased 

You make me feel 
Like this is real 
You make me see 
A future with you and me

Premium Member In Perpetual Spin

 Turn around! Turn around!
In perpetual spin memories abound.

One gown, long to the ground.
Antique white - quite profound.

A mother’s right to sow seeds.
A holy Father’s to yank weeds.

Snowbound virginal waist.
No legs, the hem was chaste.

Turn around! Turn around!
In perpetual spin memories abound.

Took the dress out for a formal spin.
Line dances would break her in.

Innocence with natural beige and blush.
Looks like a bride; there is no rush.

A mother’s right to sow seeds.
A holy Father’s to yank weeds.

Thrice used for the thrifty -
sceptical mightn’t find nifty.

One gown, long to the ground.
Antique white - quite profound.

She, the dress, looks like a bride -
the prom goer would confide.

Turn around! Turn around!
In perpetual spin memories abound.

The cake topper would be baby’s breath.
A mother would provide before its death.

The death of the gown buried in drawer,
found and tried on at least once more.

In secret, her daughter found and dressed.
Who knows if she was impressed -

however looking forward, she’d pick out
her very own ankle-covered knockout.

One gown, long to the ground.
Antique white - quite profound.

Only today, I discovered similarities -
a mother’s and daughter’s peculiarities.

Turn around! Turn around!
In perpetual spin memories abound.

Premium Member The Perfect Circle

Have you ever read a book to your child, back when they were young and more carefree?
They pick out a book, brings it to you, then climb up on your knee.

With your arms outstretched holding the book you and your child feel safe and warm…and you realize at that moment a perfect circle has been formed.

Your arms forming a circle with your child in the center.
A circle so intimate that for a short time…no one else can enter.

I hope we’ve all been blessed to be the center of a circle just like this…which usually ends with a sigh or a smile...perhaps a little kiss.

Soon that child gets too big for our knee as they grow into a woman or a man…and so we find ourselves searching for perfect circles where and when we can.

There are moments around the dinner table when you smile because you’re aware…as you scan from face to face to face…that the perfect circle is right there.

There are moments around a campfire where laughter is the norm…while kneeling down toasting a marshmallow you feel the warmth of that circle form.

You find these circles in instants…the fun is never knowing where they might be…when they’ll be captured by your heart and imprinted in your memory.

We hope our children and grandchildren remember when they sat upon our knee
We hope the circles we form extend out…like ripples on the sea

For, that is the beauty of the circles we create amidst our family and friends…once formed, that circle is unbreakable...
because a circle never ends.

Adventures by Need

I go to see my son today, 
It is a good day. 
My heart is happy, truly. 
I wash my face, brush my teeth, 
and pick out a funny shirt. 
Kick butt boots, or fast tennis shoes?
Always the decision…! 

I stop at the door and look in the mirror…
I am as ready, as I ever am.
The clock on the wall, by the image looking back,
reads; “it is not yet time to go.” 

I put my purse back down, 
and try not to frown. 

From there I head to the kitchen. 
I start with a handful of chores. 
The cabinets, the tables, 
the drawers, and the floors…
When was the last time, I wiped down the doors?
The living room, the bedroom, the bathroom, 
the closet, yet the clock reads only half-past…

The garage…?
Mow the grass? (too loud)
Weed the grass? 
(Already done, would the neighbors care if I pulled theirs? 
Sure, nothing odd about that at all…happens all the time in some places. 
Especially where God keeps mothers busy and never lets them cry.)

Finally, the sun rises, and I can go. 
My heart is aflutter and I just don’t know. 

Praying for a good day, yes that is my prayer. 
Thank you, Lord regardless, 
for getting me there.

Premium Member Oops

Oops!

In our backyard five apple trees abide - harvest of red, yellow, green fruit our pride
Bushels of fruit overflow from their baskets - looks like nature this year blew a gasket.

Way too many apples for us to eat - now time to share of our ripe apples sweet
So with our neighbors we’ll divvy these treats - for lunches, pies, snacks and midmorning feasts.

Just a month later - just enough for a pie a Sunday night treat as cold raindrops fly
Measure the spices then roll out the crust - bake in the oven - dessert just for us!

Oops!  Tripled the flour!  Now I lament - :o - as we pick out baked apples from flour cement!

True story!  Instead of 3/4c of sugar I added ¾ c of flour!  At least we salvaged the apples.  My boys have never let me forget this gastronomic disaster!  A true lesson in humility!

Premium Member The Train Driver

Of course,I read the manual.
Who hasn't?
Words,nothing but words
Until it happens
And then it is burned,branded and imprinted 
Graphically and indelibly
Into your brain.

Sleep brings the nightmare alive
Again and again
You witness it over and over
In all its starkness
There's no escape,no way out

You can't stop the bloody  train in time
All you can do is spectate
An unwilling and helpless participant
By the time your eyes pick out 
The figure poised  on the parapet
Vulture like
You are at the point of no return

Slam on the brakes
Jolt the passengers awake
The body in crucifixion mode
Glances off the cabin glass
Pupils dilated  and inward looking
Staring within

You stand frozen
Unable to avert your gaze
And then time stands still
Journey and jobs disrupted 
Until the gruesome recovery 
Is complete

But that frozen snapshot
Haunts my memory
Flashing up 
When least expected
My albatross 
Seared into my mind
Spitefully roosting
And beyond oblivion
Torturing my soul
And draining
My will to live.

Ourselves and our hearts

We love all that death touches 
And so maybe we love in halves 
We give and yet hold back 
Because when we hurt 
We fear the ash, our fire might become 
The air that will scatter it
The wind swallowing it, erasing it 
When we smile, we do it slight 
Let’s not tempt fate 
Into making it harder
The past is buried, forgotten 
Not forgiven 
We muse and then carry guilt 
Over dreams squashed by our tiny feet 
No one pushed us to do
And so maybe we did it because of them 
we hold our heart into cages 
of glass and iron 
we peep outside and wish for freedom 
then close the doors 
don’t look back 
we act selfless to hide our desires
kill a little of ourselves 
to make it look more polished 
where others grin at mirrors, 
we pick out flaws
we want to love all that death touches 
but ourselves and our hearts.

In our minds
through our eyes
He sings melodies springs

WRITTEN WORDS BY James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©

Fun Off Rhyme Crafted Early Doors

Time’s up 
mind’s plucked 
watch me cave in 
rhymes suck 
my luck 
hair’s wearing thin 
corrupt 
destruct 
stops me thinking 
clocks stuck 
bell struck 
sound silencing 

Now I told you the minds plucked 
first line look 
write the hook 
tip top tin pot I’m all shook up 
lips lock can’t talk words in a book
flip flop fell off feet feel the muck 
this rhyme of mine now starts to cook

Grapes with stems and apples with pips in 
baking tin's hot for mashing cakes in 
microwaves hum the smells you’re craving 
visual treat the way this laying 

succulent senses smells utensils 
music playing instrumentals 
banana berries you see genitals 
banana cock with very berry balls 

admittedly imagery imaginary calamity 
the title says forced not fabulously 
perspective talent I have or haven't 
clear to see or transparent

a fight night fight knight fights fight knights 
fighting fighters fighting fights 
right through the night 'til early light 
it's quite a sight when fight knights fighting 
fight knights fighting fighters fighting fights fight all night

forced but great 
cook or bake 
walnuts cakes  
waste of space 
pick out of place 
left on plates
cake fills waist

rhyme overrates 
I say it straight 
this page you save 
bookmark cook shart 
favourites hook hearts 
great hits honk large
grey bits bonk hard
you think I'm
bonkers
more like plonkers pond cars boats 
random words I just float

flash dance 
gash glance 
entrance 
splash pants 
drains fast 
seepage 
expands 
stains grand 
up set
get set 
marks 
won’t go
on show 
all know 
ball bag blow 
fool go home 

rhyme it like you're mental 
do it with pen not pencil 
don't rub it out write it again 
I know a penguin poet called Gwen 
no go again mean this poem's a gem

Time’s up mind’s plucked watch me cave in 
rhymes suck my luck hair’s wearing thin 
corrupt destruct stops my thinking 
and no I haven't been foster drinking

There are a real lovely bunch
so friendly and encouraging too
it's a joy to be their friends
they're so welcoming real brand new

It's great to be counted with them
yes it's the poetrysoup.com crew

Don't want to pick out any specially
that wouldn't be really fair
want to keep them all humble
so they're not up in the air

As well as being friends
they're so poetic with real rhyme

inspiration indeed really sublime

So finally I thank you all
for providing such great friendship
