Romance and Spiritual Love
are not one and the same
two often flying like twin doves
this seen is only game
One carnal commences
putting up defences
other has no fences
Though both are treasure troves, unglove

A Thing Of Beauty part II
‘The Mother’ The First Generation
The Me alas breaks free
claims my true pedigree
my lineage, my essence
who I was, who I am, who I shall always be
Of two generations après Moi
in awe how they've succeeded
I drink from the fonts of my true nature
Nectar indulging deeply into my delicious sustenance
Quenching a thirst for true belonging
Sturdily balanced upon a steady course
A radiant surge satiates my being
An abundance, a cornucopia of profusions—
my cup runs over—to be savored and shared
upon lips of those who yearn to imbibe
The Me alas breaks free
still glass of water
focus a ray of sunlight
on spot apparent
so with power of pure thought
> dissipates by scattering
from one another
through attentive love focus
penetrate shadows
see self dancing and laughing
> consider moment a blessing
mysterious moves
holograms of universe
peace and balance merge
surrender into deepest
> levels of spiritual love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Palm branches waving,
symbolizing the coming
of eternal love:-
As he disappears into the fog, forgiveness fills my soul.
I feel the love come back to me, my heart growing hundredfold.
As he disappears into the fog, I feel anxiety leave.
I feel an astounding sense of peace overflowing in me.
As he disappears into the fog, the bitterness is suddenly gone.
The joy and laughter I've now found makes the bitterness feel so wrong.
As he disappears into the fog, the goodness is overwhelming.
The kindness in my heart and soul has become so compelling.
As he disappears into the fog, by now he's traveled deep.
I feel the patience swell within as I lay it all at His feet.
As he disappears into the fog, the fog so thick and dense,
this self control I am now feeling is starting to make sense.
As he disappears into the fog, I pray he stays in there.
For him to come back to me is more than my soul can bear.
As he disappears into the fog, into the dark abyss,
I find comfort in knowing these gifts from Jesus will not go amiss.
Heart of the Begonia is what my soul has seen.
As thee is whom I have seen.
Oh, what an art of the divine in it!
As if I was enchanted by it.
Heart of the begonia, what a beauty of your existence!
I get enchanted by that existence.
Amidst the world’s toxicity, I chose you.
And my soul touched the divine in you.
Heart of the begonia, you have lifted my eyes’ veil.
It showed me the divine universe by lifting that veil.
Oh, what a beauty in that sight!
I recalled the essence of my soul in that sight.
Heart of the begonia, perhaps we’ll meet in a beautiful mountain again.
In the beautiful dream where we will fall in love again.
The world thinks I am out of my mind.
No, my love, through you I discovered my awakened mind.
Heart of the begonia, I found my half soul in you.
Have you ever searched for me in you?
I love you selflessly without any expectations.
Is it love or lust if I have expectations?
Heart of the begonia, I am blessed to have found you.
As I see the divine in you.
Spiritual Love
Sometimes the meaning of words is incomprehensible, like love
I have no idea what it means exactly, but dreams took me under the ocean
Goodbye love, goodbye Love, stop all the longing, human love of love
I am just looking for the real, the realistic love, there are only dead loves
But I feel a perfect love. I wanted that. Secret, given by a satan, loves Satan
A loved Master in spiritual life, in my soul and intellect life; walk on this life
‘You don’t need love.’ Master said.
I need it, but not the humanistic one.
‘That’s right. Exists this high love.
Just not in the Earth.’ Said Satan.
Take me there, oh my Grand Master!
‘The dimension gate open for you,
Your death will be the ticket there,
a one-way ticket.’ Said, dear Satan.
‘The rest of your human life is important.
Remember, now you are my student,
I am preparing you for your new life,
and new planet, there are your kinds.’
Satan promised.
I don’t need the love from my heart,
I want the only love from the mind.
‘This the highway of the spiritualism,
perfection without death.’ Satan said.
I love you, Master!
I prepare myself
That world
Waiting
You
Said
Master
There's many different forms of love
love of wealth fame and fortune
love of material things
and human cravings
which all diminish with the passing of time.
The truest love is a spiritual love
that resides in each and everyone.
It's a love without conditions
it's imbedded the day we are born.
It's the love that gives life its meaning
It's a love that can do no wrong.
A love that brings us more closer to God
A precious love that unites us as one.
Speak…!!!! And God will honor your faith and make every good thing…so! Amen and Pressing-on!
There is…a spring
that runs through our desert
it tends our aridity…
arrests…our drought.
There is…a spring
that waters our dry frames
and alleviates…our brittleness…
quenches…our parch.
Without it...
we would curl-up and crack
like sunbaked, dry bones...
that have no more marrow.
The name of this spring…?
Love.
The source of this spring…?
God.

Converged
Felt an instant connection
You, I, we recognize each other's souls.
Love for each other is unconditional.
A found fond spiritual love
Attunement eye contact so intense
Intense seems psychic like a telepathic
The connection feels empathic
Whether you experience empathy physically or cognitively
A found fond spiritual love
So destined we both, in turn, can give each other love and
So shall I encouragement when, what we need to most
Feeling so physically drawn to you
Connection feels empathic
We help each other grow, life and spiritual
Support each other biggest triggers in our lives
Choosing love instead in truth you show up divine
A found fond spiritual love
Timing synchronistic way
Intense and almost feeling psychic
Almost like a telepathic connection
Not at all toxic you can exchange a knowing
Look withal you’re blessed in
A found fond spiritual love

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
One day we shall mount up on a silver-lined cloud.
We shall dance and sing his praises, with voices ever so loud.
One day we shall soar to heaven as eagles and depart from this earth.
The chains of gravity shall be shattered from this place of our carnal birth.
One day all of our troubles will be like water spiraling down a drain.
There will be no more sorrow, no more tears and no more pain.
One day the sun will continue to shine and will never set,
For those who have built their riches in heaven, there will be no regret.
One day we shall stroll down brightly lit streets paved of gold.
In Our Father's house, the mansions are bursting with riches untold.
One day, from being steadfast and patient, we shall reap our reward.
Thus shall end all labor, all misunderstandings and all discord.
One day we will enter into Our Father's house and see his merciful face.
We then, will be filled with abundant joy and exceeding grace.
One day when the blinds have closed and our journey here has ended,
The Our Father's voice, we shall hear and our spirits will have ascended.
The Day At The Well
He showed me how to live
Showed me how to give
Showed me how to be
And I know
I'll never be alone
Because
He gave me Living Water.
He touched my very soul
Showed me how to fly
Showed me how to soar
And I know
I'll never be alone
Because
He gave me Living Water.
I am walking in peace
I was walking in anger
And sadness
My soul was calling
The creator And
My ancestors To heal me
And To have peace
Language of the soul
Is how I communicate
To the universe
They are listening
I feel them
It works
No anger
No sadness
Just peace
I can sleep
Knowing that love
Is with me
Your voice
fills my cavity
with the fullness
that streams
from vast desert skies
where raindrops fall
like tumbling notes
pelting my heart
with pitter-patter rhythms
of a grand Aria arising
from tremulous rainstorms
that quench
my irresistible thirst
for your enchantment
I drink soaking wet
from the artistry
of resonate nightingales
breached on the precipice
of wonderment of us
Your touch
carries me
across
thresholds
of heaven
earth
universe
for the hearts capacity
to hold a singular place
or direction
for the home of
the infinite being
of us
Your kiss
journeys
to the farthest
part of me
the innermost
mind of me
the library
of novels from
a million stories
with words
boundless and eternal
about us

Like a child, I come to You
Trusting with my heart
Your love and compassion
You knew me from the start
~
Like a child, I whisper to You
Prayers from my spirit
Sent to your heavenly throne
And I know you’ll listen
~
Like a child, I wait for You
To guide me through
When I’m lost and alone
You answer me anew
~
Like a child, I compare You
With my parents here on earth
But they cannot equal You
Despite knowing me at birth
~
Like a child, I confide in You
My secret yearnings and dreams
Always aware of Your gifts
Always loving and joyful it seems
~
Like a child, I plan with You
For great moments in the future
Even though they’re here now
Those days that are quite sooner
~
Like a child, I long for You
The Master of all my life
To be as close as possible
Much dearer than a wife
~
Like a child, I know that You
Will stay with me throughout
Giving me a friend so true
That I’m feeling totally devout
~
Like a child, I hope that You
Will never leave my side
And you promised me to stay
With you I can always abide
~
Like a child, I love You
More than I can say
With love that is alive
And love that will not sway
