LIFE AND LOVE
Life can be unbearable - love can make life much more tolerable
With the mate of your choice you can rejoice - just believe

For the contest sponsored by Silent One
No dreams
Only fantasies
In the bed of insecurity
No vision
Eyes open
But not to see
You’re just a reflection
In-sightless
Incapable. Incomprehensible.
Tolerable.
Hold me now
Take away my feelings
Sway me. Save me.
Form:
Always salty and usually bitter
help encourage the spitter —
still better than the wonts
and those dreaded donts —
saved by the tolerable quitter.

Nothing occurred before
nor after this time
of a streetlamp burning
on avenues untraveled
At the heart of my question
is the thing I die to ask
too much for my tongue
far too often timid
If one minute the world is cruel
only to warrant ennui
the ensuing is absurd
familiar as an old joke
Form:
To a tolerable degree.
The boards are bored.
The buzz has left the bee
The salt has left the sea
The creak has left my knee
The shrill has left my plea.
The smell has left my pee
The sugars left my tea
The ball has left the tee.
My laugh has lost its glee
It is not right.
Evil spit its ugly face into this place.
Lighting was less than tolerable.
A feeling of ominousness paraded into my heart instantly
I don’t like it here, I whispered to my companion.
But she was gone.
Who knows what took her?
I never found out
And this was October 14th, 1975.
I have never returned.
Come and get me flows of energy
Sporadic movement complexities
Near the breach of powers flow
Electrified contingencies grow
Be it tolerable life is plentiful
~
Who am I and what am I meant to be
Lo, it is I who is Flows of energy

Are'nt boys childish,downright escapist?
Feigning gentleness,humour,innocence.
Justifying kind,loving mollycoddling,
Now on parents:qualities rare,
Surely tolerable....using visible words....
Xcacerbated,yammerous ---Zany!
--- Prince Freakasso{Artist and Poet}
A voice that’s been lost to time,
Yet still ever-present in this mind of mine.
Its resonance seems fresh to my ears,
Merely this ushers forth a multitude of tears.
How can such a plenty of years not lessen
Or wear thin the fabric of recollection
To make this old loss seem more tolerable,
This all seems so inexorable.
Said a cocky old gentleman from Kent
Whose mind was like irreparably bent
“I’m in tolerable shape
But I look like an old ape,
My bumper is shriveled, my fender bent."

Jimmy was an only child
Henrietta’s only son
She had built him up
Lavished him with praise
Told him how handsome he was
He had always believed it
There was nothing humble about him
This had cost him two wives and several jobs
He was trying to be more down-to-earth
He is still fighting self-vanity
But he is almost tolerable now
When singing a splendid solo
in a public place
becomes a political act,
When dancing a diva duet
in your Mama's political space
becomes a barely tolerable act
for economic and politically powerful co-developers,
Then opportunities for communion
have devolved into too uncivil communities
for cooperative eco-social resilience.
inspire and encourage
your prayer
life is more tolerable
as you face uncertain times
pray
wondering how to pray
just talk to your Father
Say what you wanna
Remember, the Holy Spirit intercedes
for us and God knows your heart words to pray
He knows the words you say

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©
The days are never long
And the nights never feel wrong
Life has come together
Like the lyrics of a song
To be honest I feel incredible
It’s a nice break from the terrible
Now I see why life is tolerable
To you I never lied, I hope its honorable
I guess you never lied
Life is a crazy ride
Everything you ever wanted
Is in everything you haven’t tried.
Work,
Trying
to succeed
in life's grand scheme.
Bills always out-weigh,
leaving me close to none.
I work hard for what I have,
electronics, toys for grown men.
Work is tolerable;.......... but mini
vacations help maintain my sanity..........

“What is the use of a house if you haven`t got a tolerable planet to putt it on.”
Henry David Thoreau
****************************************************************
Global Warming
what have we done
for glaciers to melt so fast
for forest fires to flare so often
for tornadoes to rage so strongly
for droughts to occur oft and anon
for flash floods to recur time and again
Think humble,
No need to mumble,
Try not to stumble,
Have less trouble,
Venture out of your bubble.
Kind acts double,
Fun enable,
Guilt less affordable.
Face now likable,
Smiles more suitable,
Hugs renewable.
Mind stable,
Mistakes limitable,
Mirror charitable.
More than one friend contactable,
Life better than tolerable,
Grudges forgettable.
Revenge unthinkable.
Sure life is a disappointment, but is it menial?
Salvageable? Palpable? Tolerable?
My brain waves are pondering this.
I am not a philosopher or anything,
yet here I am, thinking again.
Stop thinking! Society tells me.
Follow the status quo.
I am making up my mind.
Let me have a minute.
Life is menial for sure.
I am menial.
You are menial.
Oops.
Sorry.
Did not mean you, Mom!
He ain’t prickly, he’s my brother I said.
Full of quills though, right? Asked my neighbor Fred
Not awful, tolerable actually, cushy even,
This was thrown in by my best friend Steven.
You mean you ride on his back? A little one queried.
Yes I said, and I am not one bit worried.
He is young, so his quills are not intolerable yet.
I am not fearful at all, for these things I don’t fret.
IQ less powerful.
Common sense more active.
Apply common sense in performance.
Callousness also appears so often.
Common sense more important.
IQ less powerful.
Less IQ tolerable.
Zero common sense unbearable.
Common sense more active.
Culture common sense.
in journey of life.
Apply common sense in performance.
What do you like about him? Her father asked.
He’s got a great smile, she said, sheepishly.
There was a giggle too, a tiny one.
He seems like a knucklehead to me, a dunce.
You have to get to know him, she told him.
I will try, he lied.
He had already seen enough of this guy.
a know-nothing, do-nothing.
he was not tolerable until their first child was born.
In one instant, he was brilliant.
Hello Grandpa
The poet's always little careless
He's not so neat, he isn't shaved,
He's dreaming, he's serene, he's labelless,
He speaks too much, it's not so great.
His soul is frail, it can be wounded,
It's easy to disturb his rest,
But you're not tolerable, do it,
Blow pain with rhyme, my wanted guest,
I love you I won't let excuses,
I love you so, my proud lass,
Amorous fever gives abuses
and torments sweet in heavy breath.
I'm struggling to succeed and leave a name
anyone can admire and easily remember...
when I'm no longer alive, but in a cold grave.
All have seen a sweeter, kinder image of me:
generous, compassionate and tolerable...
but nobody has ever discovered the real me.
I changed myself to make you a better person;
I didn't make sacrifices to step in front of the line...
never thought of earning affection and admiration.
My head hurts really bad, it's much turmoil in my mind
I don't know what’s real or fake, I long for peace
Some days I’m really scared like someone is chasing me
Everything is jumbled and mixed up, I want to be free
I take what the doctor prescribed and I wait
It takes a while for me to feel somewhat better
When it kicks in my life is tolerable, it has order

the first sip of espresso
jolts awake the taste buds
then the rest of me follows
book and coffee on the deck
watching the deer dine
sunshine makes this day sublime
dressed for success on day off
bare feet and blue jeans
relaxation is the goal
my life is nearly perfect
loneliness sneaks in
soul mate is still M.I.A.
summer sun envelops me
the breeze in the trees
helps keep it tolerable
