Memory is a river,
bound for the sea
One waterfall to cross
—death’s waters to free
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
he plants his right hind
rocks back onto his haunches
front crossing over
he falls into his pivot
with practiced ease and beauty

Prescience
— shining through
(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)
rummaging through memories of time
worlds away in the silence of night
yet merely a dream away

Expect good things
the moment breathes
Your fear abandoned
the darkness leaves
When least expected
the current calls
Tomorrow waiting
—beyond the falls
(Dreamsleep: December, 2022)
Requesting
forgiveness
from the dead
My will
crossing over
no longer misled
Requesting
forgiveness
my debt was set free
Destiny
reckoned
—atonement complete
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
Crossing over is fast to last for all eternity.
Let me linger a while longer by the sea of tranquillity,
until I collect my bio, written in the water.

****-retentive
stick up the ass
over-reactive
over-dramatization
over seemly unimportant
irrelevant issues seemed to
always be the response to
crossing over the pet-peeve line
that had been created over time
Crossing over
into the realm
of non-description
reference and paradigm
sleep alone
Borders falling inward
upon themselves
leaving only what
the mind forgoes
—and the soul forbids
(The New Room: 1-15-2025)
Appearance
reality
their differences
hide
Within the
perception
that judgment
abides
If once
crossing over
there’s no
going back
The tradeoff
complete
their identity
— hacked
(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)
Putting God
into human terms
that we can understand
Obverts the beauty
concepts like the Trinity
command
Within our souls
within our hearts
the key to something more
Crossing over
on Heaven’s light bridge
—Beatific pure
(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)
I can feel my dreams collapse
into a single vibrant image--neural blast--
brief synapse--
of you, above,
as I now exhale my life’s last
true love.
My death,
a final gasped
breath--
I can feel my dreams collapse
as I now exhale my life’s last
breath.
Is identity a reference
to all that I’m not
or something else again
Is what I’m becoming
and what I am
in contrast clearly plain
Or then is it more
and crossing over
to what I’ve not yet been
The border amorphous
where gravity pulls
—to dance beyond the rim
(Rosemont Pennsylvania: February, 2021)
Crossing plains
Dressing the part
All in white
Golden halo
Wings spread apart
Flying high now
High now
Flying high
Dressed in style
Ready for the party
Tonight
Tonight’s toasting me
Resting in peace
Come fly high with me
Come fly high
High with me
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
The spirit of memories polluted
fingerprints crossing over your spine
Ghouls that crawl eerily creeping
from an abyss of the darkest claws scratching
Consuming with fire aching burns
scaled by nightmares of the past demons
From under tombstones they rise cold echoes
undead souls of bygone nightshades haunt
in the midst of four families
coming together
to end a crisis
it begins
paying the toll
for crossing over
1 of each coin
tossed into the streets
this will take everyone
pay the piper
to release
your creator so he can be reborn
whatever happened
to a death we could not afford
walking all over the dirty money
would any angel notice?
Form:
James Dean junket drive
Up the bend away at Five
Met his end all plaster-fied
The Hollywood pied piper
Hellva lot better Dean
A young-man Diana been
No old man crapping in a diaper
But a trip for the worse
Early turn in a hearse
No fun for fans all screaming
Running at double time
Crossing over the line
Makes an end of your California dreaming
Such pleasure you gave
in the short time we had,
but you were chosen
and though we are sad;
you're away from the dangers
your earthly life had,
away from things ugly
those awful things, bad... .
You brought us peace,
we can't be mad;
for your crossing over -
means an angel they add.
So proud of you,
so very glad;
from loving friends, family;
Mum and Dad

outside the norm
but an inside part
over their lines
but inside my heart
not going to let others
decide what's right for me
the books and tapes
discussing thoughts and feelings
gonna live outside the rules
of typical behavior
an aggregate response
a taste I'm gonna savor
outside the norm
but an inside part
crossing over their lines
but listening to my heart
so is autumns dawn
crossing over horizon
deep in it's path dull
~
lit lights orange bright
dispensing shadows of hues
horizontal views
~
falls autumns trees waves
in the autumn breeze so blown
colors view orange
~
hues completely drained
containment of yellows, reds
browns, aqua shades

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2021
crossing over…
her chilled breath
caressed my cheeks
no reddening here
just a darker ebony hue
the color collage
of foliage
canvassed my eyes
falling rainbow tears
dripping to nourish
mother earth
matting
her joseph’s coat
reflected by scattered rays
peeping through shuttered skies
the bridge over the river of change
is indeed a delightful crossing
Crossing Over The River
If emotional cruel define gravity shelter for the weather would be not the house but the wood knocks
Pain and jealousy some time take the nail from the pavement what is it to know words that pin gambles of tales
Haste virtue counterpart agrees was every word of a phrase taking out of tempo
How routes lack appease to love or look to what to be
just be - - - -
There’s nothing more beautiful
Than a native song
A native dance
We move to the beat
Made wide the door
Pulled open the sash
To the simpler things
We can treasure once more
An ethnic custom
A traditional meal
A friendly smile
Crossing over the miles
From someone you knew
Once long ago
There,
With you still
Smiling down upon you.

Party Folk Julia Ward
Muse me mine
No crime to run along another line
Reveal a peal of thunder
Steal a thought from jeopardy
Otherwise, no one will see
The gem beneath the lime-rick
Stalemate draws to endless squabble
Deny the place for psychobabble
From a zone of rubble, define a truth
Magnificent in grandeur
The whistle of a distant train
A swift arrival crossing over
Bearing friction of the truth
Crossing over,
I thought it’d be different
Crossing over,
I thought things would change
Crossing over,
I thought I’d be better
Crossing over,
I fought through the rain
Now looking back,
I see demurely
Now looking back,
I see through the fog
Now looking back,
I see more clearly
Now looking back
—through life’s epilogue
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
