Ang Alamat ng Walang Forever
Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang isinuko o isinurrender
Laban man o hindi ay “Walang Forever”?
Kapag nais ka nilang sumuko
Sasabihin nila ito
Uso ito sa mga bina-busTED
Bangungot ng mga broken-hearTED
Narinig ko na ito sa TED mga 2013
Bago ako doon pangalawang beses paalisin
At nang ako sa Crim i-transfer
Isinulat kong motto: “CapSU Forever”
Aba! Meron paring ganong bukambibig
Hindi ba't kaysarap sa pandinig?!
Parang hangarin ko ay kinokontra
Bakit? Ano bang ginawa ko sa kanila?!
TED o Crim ba ang talagang may pakana?...
O meron lamang nagdidikta sa kanila?
WALAng mahirap kung WALAng korap
Sabi ng may pakana ng DAP
DAPalan music ay laganap
Para akong china-chopchop
Chachara… chachaRA…
Mwah2x! Chup2x!... sabi ng kanta
Charap na charap ang panot na beybi
Sa nilulutong “break-up” ni mineral mommy
Na habang kanilang tinatapos
Bumagsak isang mabagsik na unos…

*Alamat ng Kanilang mga Expressions
For me you’re designed, mesmeric scarred moon,
grace gleams in the convolute cradle of cyan night,
slithers in the silken sky I create for you,
a turquoise trail you trace in my heart incised.
Thunder cloud surges from the edge of stained night,
the debris of the splintered sky swathes me.
You retreat in the glare of anguish lightning,
searing the slivers of my fissured essence.
I travel in the tempest of strife,
serenade the broken notes of an unsung song,
in sync with the symphony of flawed passion,
making untuned melody in the snapped string of memory.
In the blemished visage of the veiled sun,
I paint on the scraped sensual canvas
your frail face with fragmentary fervor,
sedately smiling eyes sparkle my deranged dream.
On the charismatic canvas cracked,
my failing longing lingers in your effervescent eyes.
Etched in the invented lattice of patterned splendor,
your unsplit smile shimmers unspoilt.
WHY THE SUFFERING OF MAN-
1. I don't know
I don't understand
The promises of mistrust of man
Why? The misfortune and disarray
Who’s to say we should live this way
Please release
The opening in the skies
Lord Jesus come, come on by
Come down and take your children
Back to Our Father
Elohim
I don't know why we cry
2. I no sabi
I no
Di promises for mistrust for man
Why? di misfortune and disarray
Whose to tok we suppose live dis way
Abeg release
Di opening for di skies
Lord Jesus com, com on top by
Com down and take ya pikin
Back to awa papa
Elohim
i no sabi why we cry

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2025©
Kato was a mutt-product:- breeding run amok
No purity meant the pound of death-induction
Only his adoption saved him from that inferno
turning life into moments full of simply-perfect:
Each summer, the sun stroke a furry black hue
Elevating it with a sheer of burgundy elegance
Pauses were paws-aplenty with a trot and stop
Leaves all fallen he sniffed, callings of ethereal
Even winter was a nose-frozen-water pleasure
And spring lasted, always in his outdoor mania
So the decade ran prancing into walking years…
Under rains, by the river running, a dog by you
Racing by faster with memories, toward too far
Ending in the hardest letting go - a broken bye.

SHE'S MY CHOICE AND MY CROSS.
You told me beauty is merely skin deep
Wasn't that the reason I wooed her in the first place
Said it doesn't cook afang soup
I've not forgotten my way to mama put
You said she doesn't respect my mother
Excuse me don't make that sound like murder
Forget graduate Tinuke
I prefer beautiful unschooled Amanda
Even though she can't prepare amala
You said she's not intelligent
She does what I like and she's so efficient
Who said she's not sound
Have you heard her bedroom sound
She is not of classy source
But she's sassy and I dey enjoy her ponmo sauce
That she is mentally scanty is mere rumour
Even if she is, I enjoy the momentary humour
Who even needs that educated feminist
I have had enough troubles with chemistry
She can't speak fluently in the crowd
You need to see her in bed so succulent and loud
If you say she's crude and lousy
Excuse me sister , crude oil get value pass kerosene
Say my wife no go school
But she sabi hold spoon
Asking who will help my kids with their assignment
How that one take be your concernment
When we have kids we'll make arrangement
You dey tell me say I no get sense
Sister, you no dey see well go wear your contact lens
You claim she's using juju on me
But I'm enjoying the fufu she gives to me
You claim she's full of violence
You're wrong she doesn't just like pretence
Though she slapped me once in the open
It was because I burnt the food in the oven
That won't make our love to be broken
Now she's fat and won't hit the gym
It's OK Yoruba men don't like them slim
She's daft and can't stand a mental debate
Who even likes a wife that argues
If she ties wrapper round her chest
She doesn't want men to covet
If she was born of parents of colourful poverty
I've acquired the asset and the liability
Right now she's my sole property
Say all you want about her
She's my choice and my cross

right to left me read please
every poem must have a word
like a keystone centered in it
the word is
OR
then there must be a symbol-word
misplaced, out of place,
something unsettling must take place
a hapax legomena like
TUSK
now the bowl is cracked
wabi-sabi
on a white page
some ink has been spilled
even a random accident has great meaning
if it can be read
you see something invisibly big
or something too small to ignore
a coin falls onto the floor
OR
it hangs in the air spinning on and on
never reaching
ambit
a poem is like that
never arriving
always reaching
r m l t r -
it in is truth
I'm a wella for you,
beloved.
i sabi you're thirsty.
i am aware. Wella,
a spring waters for you.
i am a fountain for wella for you com, make me be a wella for you.
you de always thirsty, beloved. I find you water
as long as i'm alive.
i am a wella for refreshment.
a wella a system for you?

I'm a well for you,
beloved.
I know you're thirsty.
I am aware. Well,
a spring waters for you.
I am a fountain of well for you Come, let me be a well for you.
You are always thirsty, beloved. I give you water
As long as I'm alive.
I am a well of refreshment.
A well a system for you?
I am your fountain.
I am your well, come drink your water. My love.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2026
We know not who we are and yet we spar,
frittering away thus, the gift of life
and looking back see we’ve drifted afar,
with nothing to show save struggle and strife.
Let us then contemplate on our true aim,
that we may stand erect, freed from erst shame,
aligning with truth, in our life’s end game.
Clear light dawns when we cease to weigh and size,
embracing with joy, each offered surprise,
whereupon our false identity dies.
Make beauteous each wabi-sabi scar,
that vibrant heart be aglow and bliss rife,
otherwise we will have ourselves to blame,
for blocking God’s light within us to rise.

Pargus Stiller and Doyle Rubin made their in ring debut in Haikyo Pro wrestling
a All Pacific Sports Company. In a, "Studio in the Box" interview segment with
Yurie MakotoKyushi, they (through the aide of a translater)
spoke of their ambition and plans to be both HPW and APW tag champions
a move that would cause a "Fuzzball effect" that will make a Champion verses
Champion senecio where two companies will be kindly insisted to merge. World Pro
Tag team Champions ( of an unmentioned league) Yukomoto Shinkzi and Mukuro Hussinger
came out to challege these two new comers.
Yurie interupted sayingL"Genjitsu no seikatsu to wa, sujigaki ga naku, kekka ni yotte ugokasa reru fukuzatsuna jittaidearunoni taishi, entateinmento to wa, kanjo ya chisei ni uttae kakeru taiken o umidasu tame ni, itotekini sekkei seigyo sa reta monodearu!" He called both team members "marks' and said they were over zealous fans getting pay checks. And they should be glad they had a job. He told them to get the message and leave the stage. A fight broke out on a live broadcast, leaving the backup crew to clear the scene and and enacted processes that changed the dirction of the show. The whole show then was adlibed and 3 competitive bouts ( canidates for match of the year) happened.Hogaku Sabi called the action ringside.During the show, a guy at ringside spoke in an understanderable laugage flashing american money, saying he just invented a small turbine system with lithium batteries that installed in a creek could pow'r twenty homes at atime. He was then waylaid, by Mele Chant, a new comer to the league.
youth, where imperfections trip upon each other
and opportunistic peers joyfully celebrate the folly
- glass tree houses be damned...
and - a spun bottle breaks blood brotherhoods
where fragile crevices expose truths and
welcome untested kinships to fill the void.
the leftover baggage - will it be burden or buoyant?
like Scrooge's chains, worked upon - idyllic dreams
dragged into reality.
we're told to pull ourselves together -
while drowning in emotional incontinence
like this stumbling poem, trying to balance
reason ... and sanity
then - tossed to time's tumult,
life's bitter tempering, yet -
gold in our veins
a vessel that can hold
all that is ladled in...
