Dissolution emptiness;
Translates into rainy life;
Constraining
Transit passion
Dire embracement
Desolation life constraining
Transients
Passion Embrace desire
Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
Overlooking our Identity
This is the activity
in which each of us
engage..
Overlooking our Identity
as expanse and expanding
confining it to a
constraining cluster of
perceptions and thoughts..
Until!:
we notice the caging
and the confinement
sounding freedom's call...
Shame,
a shroud,
has fabric
woven from the
dark, anguished threads of
self-recriminations
and of inadequacies.
Caught in its twist, the frail weave on,
constraining themselves in self-loathing.
Unravel fibers of despair. . . Unveil!
For Skat's Any Old Poem #7 Poetry Contest
Listen to poem:
I am, that I am.
I am, I exist.
I know, that I know, I exist.
I am self-aware of me.
Born free without constraints,
With no bounds or boundaries
Constraining what I am.
My 'am' intentional existence
Lies in being, conscious, aware and present,
Here and now,
That is,
What I am
A gift bereft
Tortured and left
Cleft
To the inclines
The reclining
Desires; fought
Released
Realised
Out of
A 30 year pain
A constant drain
From her taut
Body; tensions
Constraining
All she could be.
But realised
With another
Discovered
Without care
Passion
Laid bare
Images seared
Across my heart
Sliced and donated,
A dated dream
My heart lies unseen;
A gift bereft
To celebrate cerebration is my intent
There is no pattern, no meter needed here
No rhyme to strain for lest I swallow an iambus
Since a foot in my mouth is not masticatable.
Convention is but a hindrance
And form is restraining
As custom is constraining
To conform is to die.
I will not live dying-ly
Audacity forever is my motto
Morality in verse is not prerequisite
And I will kill any attempt to submit to such an evil abeyance.
Form:
Christ’s constraining love*
…verily the cause
…of ministry joy
…serving others well
…by God’s grace and might…
Faith in the Lord
…does move our hearts
…in reaching out
…triumphantly….
Saviour’s truth
…must be shared
…with gladness…
Midst care…
…we do…
…love…!
*2Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead.

Christ’s constraining love* sublime
Frees my heart from guilt’s fetters
Enclosing me with His grace
To enjoy His peace.
Around my Lord’s divine care
My soul seeks great revival
Toward fiery service-bliss
Against sin’s venom.
*Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.

Honorable Mention, "1400 Brian Strand" Poetry Writing Contest

A sprit risen, spans the ether, soars on wings of fire,
And milk and honey vocals sings aloud the waking choir,
Of air and grace, salvation stirred, with elements of chance
Redeemed and suffered unto Eden's sweet deliverance.
In cyclic surge, the choral seas, plumb resonance so deep,
Constraining night the blinding light surrenders fallow sleep;
And all the galaxies rejoice in resonant appeal,
A spirit risen courts the moon for love alone will heal.
MY CONSCIENCE
It troubles me more than occasionally
It affects me deeply
I feel strongly
I love deeply
I think always of how I affect
The people around me
It tires me
Frequent assessments of my actions
Lumbers me
Slowing me down
Constraining me
Making me think before I act
I fence sit a lot
The law of unintended consequences
Causes me not to rush
I pander and question everything
My mind acts as a sentry
Assessing all of my actions
Guiding and controlling me
I don’t feel free
Jellybean is his name
the kids named him
golden furry little critter
running on his wheel all day
like a little machine
he wakes and runs
and sleeps and eats
then wakes and runs
again every day
on that wheel
except the day
his little cage door
was left open
not his mundane routine
of running on the wheel
instead nervous excitement
all day of exploring
no constraining wheel
freedom to breath
to think to feel
I like the days
when I discover
my cage door
was left open
