Raining in the early dawn
The drops overspread the earth
Dampening grounds on which I walk
Cooling the atmosphere
Enjoyable morning
as hybrid poplar
slowly begins to turn gold....
low gray cloud
rain down sprinkles dampening me
all surroundings relish the moisture
Raining.
Soothing. Cleansing.
Dampening earthen soil.
Calming busy minds with rhythm.
Raining.

Dark foreboding billows,
dampening the euphoria of a day's treasure.
The earth frowns at our childlike dimness...

Another blizzard continually dampening even finally gaining hindsight into just kind light mountains over Neanderthal peaks quietly riding stormfronts towards under valleys withering x-factor zealous
By Keith James
An explosion of flavour
Setting the taste buds alight
A tsunami of saliva
Dampening heat in the cave.
Like the sand beds of the sea,
Deeper elements spring forth
Revealing ingredients
Enriching the savoury dish.
-
My tears fall like
freezing rain
dripping from barren
branches overhead,
dampening my smile,
replacing the sunrise
with clouded sorrow
as your heart breaks
like thin ice
in the winter
of your sadness-
tiny worm beneath
the soil tunneling spirals
mix dampening soil
~
all accountable
dirt close to being mud worms
ready for fish yah!

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2026©
involuntary volition
yet signals bondage
so we remind ourselves
of our piquant dilemma
moment to moment
thereby dampening
attention oscillation
until boundaries blur
head and heart concur
and identity disappears
all then that remains
Is awareness self-aware

dampening vacuum-yawns.....dictionaried-vaguenesses.....
yielding distorted vagrant-yarns.....
discussions virtually yearning detail.....
virtual yolks.....
disengage.....
vapor your daily ventures....

Come here was the motion
That rendered her helpless
And placed her under a majestic
spell
Quiet eyes, half parted lips
Dampening like rose petals
Waiting to collect It's first
drops of morning dew
And a heart that flutters
Like hummingbird wings
As it delectably feasts
Upon its precious nectar
damper sound without a box
fuse less high key string fret and the low beckoning
saint the same slide you grew out from
drink news and through lava liqour drips off
damper stage and dampening cat cry
you got news and sew my drums lose
i know its been done
speak frothing failure against
`
a steady
downpour
falls in
cold droplets
encouraged
by a gusty
breeze
and I feel
bad
for you
as
the rain
drips through
a half
opened
window
dampening
your already
shivering skin
but I also
wish
I were that rain
for if I
were,
it would be
me
touching you
right now
November you entered with gale strong winds
Blowing snow and spitting cold rain
You hid the sun behind dark gray clouds
Dampening my spirits as the day crawled on
Dreary and mundane like evening dusk
You sprinkled gloom before afternoon
Snow slowly drifted and touched earth
Giving the month of November new birth
Sunday morning under my quilted down comforter
Coffee smells loosening tension like a good massage.
My alarm clock snores on, this being its one day off
And I gaze at the dresser replete with family photos.
Contentment fills me, dampening every exposed, jagged nerve
And begins to overflow as my cat purrs her approval.
her eyes were
speaking
love
glint peace tranquility
we are about to take
off to eternity
running away
eternal wisdom of love
brimmed with tears
anguish of pain
giving way to assurance
of freedom
dampening power of
my withering cells
charging rejuvenating
at the probability
of the journey
life is a journey
of bliss

Small as a droplet
from a tearful eye,
while swaying with the wind
of an ominous sky.
Vastly dampening
crops in need,
being their crucial
way to feed.
Falling in a mist,
or pouring to the ground.
Sometimes soaring
without making a sound.
A part of nature
nurturing its own,
replenishing the land
so life can move on.
rage
blood red
simmering
boiling over
insecure imbeciles off gassing pain
a fraternity of inbred hound dogs
renting shepherds
flocks are lost
horror
death
soul
lingers
ghostly lights
clarion calls
the atomic spin of celestial night
loss of foul ego conjoined particles
wonder free falls
I less bliss
haunting
rite
Inhale
my heartbeat slows,
blood sluggish
through stenotic vessels
unwilling to expand,
to breathe
to let blood flow
untenable, this suffocation
this dampening
it speaks of tired eyes,
of stolid limbs,
of stultified need
torpid blood,
when will you give up
your self-imposed stricture,
your closely guarded fear,
your wariness
and inhale
I want to feel as clean as the wind
I want to hear it pass my ears
feeling as calm as the silence
I am the wind that passes
at least I want to be
but I fear I'm collecting filth
dirt from this lowly earth
and it hurts
dampening my light
making tense my innocence
I want to move through the periods of time
without consequence
as light as air
so light you wouldn't have
even known I was there
Sincerely, it’s sad;
Heart-arching
Soul-dampening
Hearing “Farewell” bid
By the beloved,
Truly it’s bad;
Tearing apart
This touching attachment
Of utmost feeling: love!
It’s damned fearful;
Listening to the distressed,
Agonized, pained and solemn
Expressions of a heart
Beset by beating confessions.
It’s indeed madness;
Tearing apart attached souls,
Sailing across life’s coasts
In love’s vessel!
The gypsy moth’s nest
clung like cotton candy, spun sugar;
wet and weighty to the pendulous boughs,
of white birch and maple
a deadly adornment shrouding the forest
in an air of decay.
A miasma of atmosphere
Muffled the morn;
dampening the resolve
mystifying the mundane
multiplying the cloying scent
of fallen leafs;
solidifying the webs of moth and man
unifying the monochrome scene.
As you wait
for a turn of fate
to get things
rolling again
You pass the time
listening to music
while pondering
transformations solidified
into transparent discrepancies
relinquished by distinguished
personifications that are truly amazing.
You drift through
happy circumferences
as you smile,
gaze into the distance
of truthful overtones
that are resurrected
with the ease
of a twist of justifications
dampening your quest.
playfully up close and personal
tingling joyfully on my skin today
warm and toasty the frisky sun
behind me wintry months of frost
no matter what claims my calendar
unofficially it’s the first day of spring
with gleeful sounds of melting snow
melodious and enchanting to my ears
how disappointing to see the sun
toward cooled horizons slowing sink
dampening any delusion of hope
for a premature springtime kickoff
