my fingernails are treacherously filthy
not merely dirty
disgusting
they have hardened and yellowed
old age is a yell
Rough rains
bounce off
the hardened
ground.
Beyond bare
trees-
empty
of leaves,
no bluebirds
can be found
Howling Wilderness
windswept
bleak treeless plain
white blanketed mountains
permafrost hardened ground, I am
alone
a warrior awakes
full~ hardened at sunrise
love breaks his fasting
young squaw with belly rounded
quickening~ a warrior wakes
Bitter hardened steel of death
Warm soft tissue fed by breath
From the breath steel comes to life
From cold steel a breathless wife
Quietly The voice screams it inflames softly hardened rigids of joy and pains~

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2020
Clinging membranes grow baubles
Encased, wood-like, hardened seeds
Bough releases many fall
Acorns dress the ground.
Tyranny thrust upon mine heart.
Yet hardened more by ruthless heartbreak.
Steel may never pierce my chest.
But must i be impervious to love?
Form:
meadow larks melodic songs
uplift the most hardened hearts
reminding us of grandmothers
hollyhocks, and bleeding hearts
an innocent and softer time.
Too late for words I need to say
Not knowing the length of our highway
That turns into mountains of clay
When your hardened walk goes astray.

don't worry Siria
Form:
Clipped are my wings
Gouged and feasted upon by inners sins
Once pure now diluted
once diluted now corrupted
Lostwrapped in the chaos of my hardened blood.
love, where old soil
decays among elder trees--
like buds wanting to grow
seasons don't arrive
in lush wakes of affection
--a hardened clay in wintry life

Hardened,
precious,
beautfiful.
I wish
my
heart
was
one . . .
Barriers cracked and chipped with age
Once standing firm now tremble in rage.
To regain the solidity once defined
That now lies uncertain, its’ strength resigned.
Eruption of words
Spills on furious spark of night
Entanglement unsettled-
Dawn tumbles on edge
A falling of union breaks
From hardened hearts of stone.
Hardened knuckles bang
Playing rabid notes
As lyrics tune off ---
Black keyboards deformed
While his voice stammers,
Yelling lost wife’s name.
For 17
Joe Doaks was a hardened criminal
the truth about him wasn’t subliminal.
Then he met a sweetheart
who gave him a new start.
Now he leads a prison choir with a hymnal.
For thorns that dig so deep
my tears are so incomplete
tears that fall hardened to the floor
there will never be a cure
just darkened thoughts forever more 5th october 2010
"Resurrection"
Succulent Sun
cascades Heavenly
embracing rainbows
colors Earth's Dome
warm substance shines
penetrates souls
hardened hearts softened?
Lukewarm emotionless
Unsympathetic reception
To requests made by my
Heart to yours
Hardened reaction
Blinded by past hurts
Deaf to my Cry's
Unbending resentment
Has overthrow love
Blood Clot and Boycott
Rather than crossing lines and boycott,
We did have a drink called blood clot,
And then hardened;
From jail pardoned;
After we would finish it, hit the spot.
Jim Horn
One face and two looks.
As unbridgeable
Each world in time's impression
Not relatable.
Smooth and sweetly pleased
When all is colour
To that rougher, hardened o'er.
Long aft whose dulled hour.
Heartbreak’s hollow hold has hardened.
Piercing past pools pain has pardoned.
Dying dreams drift on dire descents.
Lost in the loneliness, languid love’s lament.

Fighting with memory
a weapon supreme
To vanquish the darkness
and all that’s unseen
Recalling the missteps
of battles long past
Our fury is guided
— time hardened and fast
