For a hot minute like a cigarette we burned, faded.
You were like nicotine making me feel elated then jaded.
We had fallen in love again until it degraded.
you take roses, paint them black, then replant them as if they grew that way.
you are the reason we are like this.
our petals fall because you pluck them off us.
if you put us in a dark room, don't blame us for bending over backwards to find light.
after being constantly degraded elmer fudd getting hot inside just kept lossing more navigable opportunities per quarter relying solely trustingly upon volunteers while xeroxing Yan'kee zeal
(does this remind anybody of the current "Debt Crisses")
Monday, wake up feeling jaded,
Tuesday, try to see what's true
Wednesday feeling more persuaded-
For Thursday's new point of view
Friday seeming more degraded
Saturday, question what I knew
And Sunday: look what I created!
A week I've sadly misconstrued...
Wrong Doings of Trump
Trump's wrong doings are vastly accumulating,
And results of each one has been humiliating;
Overhead waded;
Also, self-degraded;
Commit more corruption he is contemplating.
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
We sprint,
We sprint,
We shan’t tarry within the shadows!
Give us the light.
We were not fabricated
To be degraded,
To be heavily degraded,
And narrow volume of respiration
That these lavender things have invented.
We sprint,
Oh, Lord,
We sprint!
We must rend these shadows,
We must find the light.
Something inside of me is broken, broken beyond repair. Broken into tiny pieces, each piece is a hurtful word you said, or a hurtful name you called me, or all the hurtful times you degraded me. I can never really put myself together ever again and the most saddest of it all, is that you didn't even really care.
loudest was the music from her parties
loudest was her audacity
to come in a town
and challenge the town’s rules
stole neighbor’s dog
and sent a clear message
her degraded reputation
and unnoticed kindness
got her a tag of mad woman
never scared of bringing change
Now a role model
For women in her age

Form:
Where do fallen leaves go
before the snow
Fallings sliding slithering tutoring spiraling down
to the ground
Environmental meltdown
Decompose composite
Frozen solid
Covered by snow
Bio degraded re-arrange molecules particles
Compacted Marsh
Covered over by temperature in snow
To come back in Spring as grass or rose
11/20/19
Written word by James Edward Lee Sr 2019
In The Realm of His Life Forever as long as it lasts
we move away from the past
and the questions that we never ask
get buried and burned to the ash
We kept trying to make our way
but it degraded into the decay
And tomorrow it never comes
and all that we do is undone
And all that we've made with our hands
slips through our fingers like sand
And into the shadows it fades of and
gets buried beneath the land
FADING PHOTOGRAPHS
Once I thought those sepia tones
Belonged only to a different era
Now, images are on our phones
As quality paper is much dearer
I have albums still gathering dust
With snaps taken many years ago
Always keep them close as I must
Yet how was I supposed to know
Some blurred, and become faded
As memories can also go that way
Over time, quality gets degraded
If only they were right here today
Detection of orbs, orbiting my eyes
Perfection absorbs, and I'm paralyzed
Broken and brittle, split in the middle
She spoke without tittle, spit out a riddle
Follow the hollow, to swallow the hollow
Wallow at every turn
Wallow and swallow, or sorrow tomorrow
Follow or ever burn
Baited, deflated, fated not sated
Orbiting eyes would burn
Hated, degraded, fated not mated
Some boys will never learn
Did you know?
Secrets are like the baby grass on the patch of
Grass next door; they flutter like the wings in the
Small breeze of late Autumn.
They glitter like the sand on the beach under the
Aurora last night; and they sleep like fairies under
Small mushrooms in the hidden forest.
If only you knew…
How many secret bookmarks were filed in my book,
And how many degraded, teared apart and
Fluttered away in the wind.
Ravaged by time and circumstance
Degraded by society
Left with nothing to grasp
But a sense of hopelessness
This cycle continues without opposition
Unless we utilize the greatest human power
The power that enables us to overcome pain
The power that makes contentment possible
The power that allows for forward progression
The power that's often attributed to God,
but that also lies within every human being
The power to forgive
Lost lonely girl needle in her arm
Trapped in her world of addiction
Using her body to pay her way
To numb her pain and affliction
Sick and infected body and mind
Beauty since faded
Teeth now black or gone
Filthy, ashamed ,degraded
Surrendered herself to this deadly drug
It’s slowly consumed her soul
Each day she slipped further away
Her life succumbed to that big black hole
Lost lonely girl…….now just another statistic!
Rats and cockroaches
have moved to the country.
The city is overrun with unsanitary humans,
it needs a clean cloth to thrive upon,
not the dishcloth grime
of much degraded minds.
It is a disgrace, a black mark
upon an already uncivil civilization,
however, the rats and cockroaches
are vacationing and will not return
to the metropolis
until the trash in the streets
is sanitized of mankind's
indifference and lack of interest.
You played her for a fool
You used her as a tool
You degraded her self-worth
You lied to her for mirth
You spit upon her being
Never even thinking of her leaving
You doubted her strength and soul
You believed you made her whole
Even though you knew you were wrong
It was expected of her to stay strong
That her is I
The one you always wanted to never fly
And now I sit here
Wondering if you will fully understand what you let pass you by
Form:
The bough that cracks in midnight sleeping,
split from tree and hurled toward the stony earth,
struck by lightning, forked and sweeping,
burned to ashes, stripped of worth.
The rock that dreams in ocean hollows,
by salt abrasive water broken to a grain of sand,
a microcosmic state which follows
insubstantial of dry land.
My love is stoic, never shifting,
unlike the sand or degraded bark of tree,
it is yours alone, resolute and uplifting,
gloriously given...effortlessly.
Say what you want in defense, but this is how I feel
You invalidate my feelings to the point that its unreal...
Ive been in bad relationships before too..
But honestly no one is as standoff-ish as you.
Everyday that goes by I feel less and less
Walking on eggshells constantly I just have to guess
Guess what mood you will be in today
Or will you be unhappy over this or that..I just cant say..
You never smile or laugh around me
You know how degrated i feel? Yet you will never see
