In this blossom spring, you ask the question,
like a gardener checking a withered vine
"Are you okay?" and for a moment,
the gate is unlocked, the choice is mine.
But how do I speak across this distance,
to a shore you've walled, a star gone cold?
I'm trapped within your line of sight,
yet feel like a ghost the silence holds.
I do not need your silver reach,
or pockets deep to pull me through.
My burdens aren't weights for you to carry,
just shadows a shoulder could subdue.
I need the warmth within the chest,
the anchor of arms, the quiet stay.
But you stand forbidden, far and safe,
from storms I never learned to say.
I am an old man out of your league,
orbiting a light that won't descend,
watching you love a ghost I can't see,
wondering if our "us" has met its end.
We sit within this shared degree
of singleness and separate stone—
a "we" that has no room for me,
two shadows, together and alone.
The walls aren't brick, but space and hush,
a haunting math where one plus one stays one.
Outside, the riot of green is loud,
but here, the winter has already begun.

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
Ties that bind, scars that hurt
Float around in my life
Shadows of isolation sprinkle my face
Blades of power hold my mouth
Words of silence cannot escape
The thunderous ploy of the heart
Ties that bind, scars that hurt remain strong!
Hearts that bleed are hearts that feed off the weight of love
The sudden shift of emotion illuminates the darkness
The singleness of a passion electrifies the soul
Nevertheless, the cold shift of isolation keeps the mission purpose driven!
Ties that bind, scars that hurt remain strong!
I can smile now, knowing my heart is bleeding
Feeding off every abnormality and
Revealing the centrality of all hidden thoughts!
I can smile now, knowing my heart is bleeding
It is a comfort worth exploring; it is an oddity worth refining
It is a love worth mentioning and above all, it is a heart worth bleeding!
Ties that bind, scars that hurt remain strong

Communication
Talking, Singing, Dancing,
Writing, Drawing, Praying,
Signing, Listening, Seeing,
Reading, Cooing, Touching,
Bridges in a list few,
That allow One to Two.
Or Expansion of One,
If the Ability to Be Common,
Is Ever Shrunk, Compromised,
The Feelings Become Numb,
We are Un-Mistakenly Downsized!
Laryngitis, Soundless, Sightless,
Senseless, Absence of Hand-Eye 'Ation,
Robs Togetherness, Socialization,
Leaves Us Cast Out of the Nest,
Pilfers the Spirit of Essence,
Drastically Diminished & Lessened,
But Perhaps the Worst Singleness,
Is to be Alone in a Crowd,
Where They Choose Their Game,
Foreignly, Ours is Not the Same,
Then, Sidetracked On Our Own,
We Grow in Dishes Petri,
Rhythmically Communicating Poetry,
Layered Verse Reaffirming Terse,
Each Syncopation a Prayer,
Gratitude Individually Communed,
Catalyzing December to June!
Hope is not hopeless unless it's gone
Lost is not lost unless it's found
Where is the lightening
And there's no energy fire
I am deaf yet hear the sounds
Hope is not hopeless unless it's gone
Love is not love if you just say it
Hearts will not beat if the spirit vacated
Where is the peace in the minds of men
Humanities haters of liberties
I am blind and I can't see a thing
Hope is not hopeless unless it's gone
Lost is not lost unless it's found
Where is the lightening
And there's no energy fire
Singleness of man
Can only righteously stand
Only if he asks God to intervene
Small and Promises to connect,
all the dots of the heart to interject
Hope is not hopeless unless it's gone
I am deaf yet hear the sounds
I am blind and I can't see a thing
I am thought and can feel not
Trials and tests come and go lingers on
Hope is not hopeless unless it's gone
Hope is not hopeless unless it's gone

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2o23
'Someone!' said I, 'I’m in need of a ONE;
I crave the female human, a happy almost anyone;
Back into my memories of dating;
I am shorn of images of marriage my mating;
With such a passion for abrogating??
The wedding, a wedding 40 years married now widowed;
As of someone gently retreading, retreading bellowed, bellowed;
With such a passion for dreading;
With such a passion for heading;
That engaging the singleness despair, exhausting, exhausting
Life and death the perpetrator of here and not here, 'Don't go raging!'
Heart yet racing, mind is engaging;
Where when my heart and mind meet a special “SomeONE”

I'm not abnormal
just different kind of normal
through my chambers
tantalized horse is storming
(storms make trees take deeper roots)
Dolly's vinyl began skipping
so my God put his paper hat on
that God of mine wears a paper hat
and you wear the fear the same way
we all have rooted fears
above which ingrained branches furcate
designing modular shadows to be tailored upon
yet my symmetrical reasoning
keeps on coloring that infested resonance
enveloping skin in barbed tape
hoping that loosen blood
will make a liquid embankment around integrated Thanatos
as no one ever comes forward to the bleeding ones
but human embodiment is a marvel
like river it breaks its way through to the subsistence
so harbored will of mine constructed a timber
upon which singleness can find its rest
until encounters her similarly aberrant soil
He enjoyed his life in every way.
She was actualized, but not loved.
They both thought they were complete.
They had their hobbies, their languages, their religions.
They both thought they were set, happy with their singleness
until they discovered each other.
What she lacked, he had mastered.
Her sense of humor and love of people reeled him in.
Their romance was fast and passionate.
They were complete alone, but their togetherness
was a combustible fire that could not be quenched.
The union of these two resulted in a lifelong commitment
not misunderstood by any who knew and loved them,
for we all saw that she was more herself when she was with him,
And he was even more magnificent that we thought he could ever be
When he was with her.
Separately they were both a wow, but together, they were
the entire play, and a ridiculous number of curtain calls.
I dived into the cauldron of magic potion
And saw my prince charming’s clear reflection
With bouquet of roses and a big box of chocolate
All for me on this coming Valentine’s date.
My heart was pounding in admiration and joy
He was so handsome, fair and tall. Oh, boy!
As I swam deeper, down into its bottom room
He became a wizard and I, a witch with a broom.
I dived into the cauldron of magic potion
And saw my prince charming’s magical reaction
Hats off before me to offer all his lovely gifts
And went out with me and my broom as our lift.
My heart was rejoicing with great happiness
For celebrating hearts’ day amidst singleness
This year’s Valentines Day has given me a great treat
A sweetheart in the eyes of people I’m going to meet.
SOLOGOMY
singleness took the lonely road
she’s gathering snow white roses
and dyed her flesh vanilla cream
she invites chocolate-dipped berries
and decorates with dove-white tablecloths
she wears a sparkling diamond
almost too heavy for this curious broad
all alone all alone all alone
the six inch heels click
she smiles
she wanted it this way, her way
a white wedding for one
she’s worked on her heyday for so long
took her time, no hurry, she was in no rush
she has no need to blush nor powder
all alone all alone all alone
the six inch heels click
she smiles
she says i do to herself
after proclaiming she is worth it
she blows a kiss into the full size mirror
note to self to rub the red off and shine
all alone all alone all alone
the six inch heels click
she smiles
a good looking guy stands nearby
scratches his head
moves on

A dream come true? Marrying yourself? We have too much time
on our hands!
