Ahh, So True Life Is A Vicious Game Where dawning meadows truly dance anew A pretty princess once cried out my name Twas a hot summer so bright and fancy I was foolish lad but playing a game So romance died and I lost my Nancy. Morn and I decided to give her a call Sure you know to do the ghastly...

Oh Harriet
Oh Harriet, a treasured heart lost to time. Such promise, heralded for gifted child. Tender age, loves pull guided her astray. No blame, for who does not crave happiness. Joyous moment, glanced upon and short lived. Her heart, abandoned and broken. Hope lost, as lover moves on. Solace desired, but only lustful arms found. With child, in hiding she remains. Sadness burdens, with heart and mind overwhelmed. Words dispatched, her last affection...

The rich gets richer As the poor seem poorer Most people seem to imagine Reinventing ones self As an empty envelope Nautical dreams filled with empty water Bottles covered in air Ingredients tangent Open sophistry Pigs growing unusually Dogs catching people People chasing dogs While dissociated cats eat frogs Reinventing ones self Open sophistry True Life 11/2/18 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2018...

True Life
Guilty of life once lived in sections, drastically making changes. Concessions to new obsessions, suffering identity exchanges. Revision life's only pattern, inborn self considered a sin. Wherever did the facade end, and my actual truth begin? Mercurial soul. Gale force wind on fire. Searching recklessly. Banishing true desire. Stunted by fear. Cut low by local society. Angrily relating ashamed. Depression continually haunting me. Loving heart protected by rage. Angel morphed to succubus. Ignorant...
