Energies and Entities,
Entering realities,
Resonating to our frequency.
Doing as they please,
They tease because no one sees,
Playing with our memories.
Creating fake enemies,
We are the same entity,
Experiencing life separately.
A vision only you can see,
One you create to be,
A reality all your own.
A world you've grown,
You've been shown the sign,
You are Divine.
It's time to shine,
Refine your design,
Be aware of every line.
Define the shadow,
You're the star of the show,
So let it all go,
And let's grow together.
An unbreakable tether,
Ties us forever,
Severe all other chords,
To move towards the goal.
Get in contact with your soul,
Find a way to control,
What is entering the flow,
And find what dims your glow.
Blurred Realities Cryptic, Faded, Vague.
Questionable behaviors are they mere fantasies ?
No one is perfect, inhale, exhale.
I finally accepted I'm not anyone's favorite person.
People may routinely tell me what's best for me
And pretend they care when their actions don't
match their words.
Living someone else's reality became distorted
At the battlefield of this mental war.
Oftentimes fatiguing to consume these decisions to
over-ride this reflectiveness of My Blurred Realities.
the unmanifest and the manifest
as energy withheld and then released
descent in duality then a test
that the demons we nurtured be appeased
the unmanifest is beyond space-time
as such it cannot be known to our mind
but in staid silence synced with bliss beat’s chime
one with the all we’re then divine entwined
though immersed within but not of the world
then as both immanent and transcendent
breath by breath as flag of love is unfurled
we recognise our Self, light resplendent
the cosmic egg is wherefrom we were born ~
we return to heaven when ego’s shorn
Whether near or far
No distance can separate us
Look beyond what you see
Only horizon gap the sea and the sky.
Whether you're in east, west, north or south
Or you tour around the world
You'll always miss your roots
And find your way back home.
Whether you want to go deep in the ocean
Or find your joy in the underground
It's just a temporary adventure
You'll still come out to the surface to live.
Whether how nice your dream is
Or slumber deeply due to tiring
You'll still find time to open your eyes
And face the realities in your life.
When you love the most
You will hurt the most also
When you are happy
You enjoy the music
When you are sad
You will understand the lyric
When you have nothing
You will understand patience
When you have everything
One will show real attitude
You are poor if you have no friends
If you have many friends you are rich.
Gather 'round, young ones, and heed my words,
The truth has been consumed, its head submerged,
To depths far from light.
Recall, just a few market days past,
It was shrouded in shadows, veiled by lies that would forever last.
For most of the living you see, have perfected the art,
Of twisting reality, of bias that distorts the heart.
Disguising traps as breakthroughs, so scary.
Dictating paths for others' children's feet,
And swearing oaths that seal their fate, so discreet.
For theirs is the cemetery,
And ours the graveyard.
Binding futures with words that cannot be undone,
And claiming power over lives that have just begun.
Thinking if they're buried in the cemetery, they'll be better off than us of the graveyard,
Where trees loom thick, and diggers tread barefoot, with hearts that are hardened.
But eternity is long, long for it.
Today's presence speaks of yesterday's absence.
Do not be deceived and do not be amused.
We shall be equal in bones and then dust.
Whether of the cemetery or of the graveyard.
"Divorce and Its Realities"
D estined to happen or slowly becoming?
I nvested in family but the feeling slowly numbing.
V isceral thoughts of making this work,
O bjective not achieved, but thoughts continue to lurk.
R eality of separation and change,
C hances to have and to hold and love may come again.
E verything not lost, just challenging for awhile - but given time and healing
I know again I will smile.
Locked in the room with the beating heart
That was in love scratch in a room engaged in walls
That didn't move I was in tombed lost
Stockings is reality
Lost in the pages I was encage in sentences paragraph in a book
Inprisoned in my mind shook engaged to fail as I shook
I was renaissance giving prompt to go off and on again
I was wicked stoned punished my only friend
Was my end in the end was my friend
Shocking is realities
Reality found me crying in the alley broken down the end Defeated I found myself very on the streets with the needy
While all alone I took my time I crawl
Heeding life's misfortune I fall
I could have walked to could have chosen to fly so I flown
Was lost now found mine self walking alone
While in my mind goes to deny the watts currents electricity
Shocking is realities repertility

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2023
once we see
who we are
life view shifts
all are one
one is all
light of Self
every realm
or domain
is but thought

Tricube
Stuck in an abyss of emotions
That nobody else can compare
The way that life presents itself
Is furthest from the truth
But I numb myself
To not care
Lies after lies
Off the tongue
They leak
So sweet
Meanwhile it's my heart
That get brutalized
By a loyalty
That none can see.
Times reveals the cruelest lesson
The outcome
Of sow and reap
Heaven only knows the answer
So in my heart
I keep closed
In my heart
I sit and weep
Lingering scenes hide in my subconscious
Vie for favor vicariously precious…
Soul that struggles against human nature
Contends to glow toward spotlight feature…
Hypocrisy keeps lurking amidst pride
Brags along false humility’s long stride…
Grievous regrets expose frustration pain
Leave heart in agony against joy-reign...
Repentance* that I neglect to express well
Faith's spirit basks in God’s miracle-swell.
*Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

……DREAM……
Close your eyelids this balmy August night.
Let moonbeams softly on your dreams alight.
Be at total ease, your mind, star shine bright.
In that way, your future is now in sight!
Allow worry to fly free as a silver kite.
A bright new lover with tender might.
You are bound to a new reality alright!

~3~
Another night of dreams,
one after another, flickering half images
echo real events but bare my heart.
I try on new realities,
like dazzling garments or popup stores
of evanescent wants I may not admit to myself.
What emanates your realities are in you
The aspect of Nature allocated to support you
Responding to your most desired needs
Even when you pray to the wrong deity
