blackens the sky~
whips the oak, snaps the wires.
drowning roots clutch at fleeting earth~
gone.
If you turn off the lights in your mind
your inner sky blackens,
which breaks interaction between
your inner and outer world
then the worst of the worst happens
Say it simply
or not at all
The truth uncovered
in brief recall
Too often masked
in verbiage strewn
Whose darkness blackens
— a sunless noon
(The New Room: January, 2026)
Crack your fingers if you will, destroy bone
Sound disturbingly travels
From knuckle to eardrum
Just like fire that melts iron, smoldering
Burns the skin, blackens the soul
Scar permanently shown

A Choice of Colors
For Mom 2024
It is a conspiracy of years
that pulls down the leaves
dries the creek beds
blackens a leg.
It must be cheerfully
countenanced
but the fear and rage
overwhelms.
Only when an ending
is better than
the next minute or two
does the last faltering step
become the bravest one
we will take.
Morning comes shuns the light:
The solar sun shines ever bright;
Those the clouds wash away;
Brightness turns yellow hues to gray;
~
Evening comes tonight;
Moon shines smiles bright;
Grinning through the darkness:
Blackens embraces Saturn kiss;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.©2021
In the midnite of earth's noon,
Sun's shadow blackens the moon.
Silver shades of pale desire
Are consumed within its fire.
Adrift in darkness of death,
The burnt moon struggles for breath.
Unremembering the plight
Desire brought, it slays the night.
This envious moon of sky
Sighs with dispassionate eye:
The sun too will one day die.
ebony edges
twilight blackens sketched shadows~
scarlet-stained sunset
dusk dribbles dewdrops
flower petals atrophied~
evening primrose, bloom
pinwheel galaxies
swirling stars orbit black holes~
bats shadow the night
dawn pierces night's heart
scarlet wounds bleed crimson light~
a hummingbird's hum
day resurrected
scurrying shadows scatter~
colors coalesce
May, for all her beauty, sickens me
flowers and sunshine-
make the world blind
to the utter misery!
Spring, new life- supposedly
yet I gaze around
this friendless town
too many bad memories!
Anguish, pain- it blackens me
my soul is hollow
the rest will follow
as May drags on relentlessly...
She carries the misery-
will I ever find-
solace? peace of mind?
not until May fades away!
Oh mighty mistral winds
Fill my sails and take me home
This voyage never ends
Over countless seas I roam
On this ship I'm but a slave
Still I struggle and I try
I fight each giant wave
As it blackens out the sky
The unrelenting sea
Pitches wildly to and fro
It won't get the best of me
No matter where I go
If these mistral winds prevail
Then no peril can befall
Till it carries ship and sail
To my final port of call
Chased mercilessly
over well- worn tar
palpable loss pushes
a sable brush
dunked in dread
a furious deluge
of fear
oozes out
blackens every inch
of familiar landscape
what if’s
eat through
the still static blue horizon
making a meal
of unborn dreams
slaked only by
hastily grabbed
history
coupled with
ragged spirits
that desperately
haul hope north
safe haven
on strange soil
still dark hours
away
Green is the colour of nature,
Peace,
Harmony,
Health.
But what happens when the green is clouded?
When a heavy cloak of darkness blackens the soil around the root?
When red gems seep out of the tree trunks?
When the flowers start to bend with the weight of salty pearls?
People love going to forest,
Dancing with trees
And singing with me,
But,
When the trees start wilting,
And the rain starts dripping,
Nobody thinks about rebuilding,
The green inside me.
