Black shadows fly
in the bleaching air.
Crows quoth their oaths.
Bitter the day that arrives
with no prayers to say.
Those who walk beneath its sway
shiver and ever wary
of that croaking gravity.
Only the bold scatter
the screeching carrion,
throw their arms to the sky
fists shaken and mad of eye.
The bold and unforsaken
forbid,
their defying faith unbowed -
undoubting and awakened.
Trust In God-An Acrostic
Term fellowships grant undoubting reverence
Rational credences distrust, mistrust
Unconditional credences reverence
Superstitious credences discharge, in God we trust
Tentative guesses become align with His Kingdom
Infidelities serve belief in forgiveness
New credences guess, in God we trust
Gross infidelities swear God already forgiven
Obvious merits deserve grace observed
Derivative instruments discredited confession devotion merited

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2019
The battle ensues,
In my mind it ebbs and flows.
Life mockingly,
Delivers unrelenting blows.
Natural inclinations,
Fuel my will to live.
For this heart of mine,
Has so much to offer,
So much to give.
Unwillingly, a stranger;
An enigma I have become.
Friendship and love, from me,
So many have pulled away from.
Mirrors reflect back,
Images I no longer know.
My heart turned to rock,
Yet seeds of hope upon it,
I continue to wishfully throw.
Hoping for only one,
Just one, finally to take root
and grow.
Confident, undoubting,
I always knew my heart
the way to lead.
Unsure, scared,
Only self-doubt, my mind
now seems to feed.
Waves of various emotions,
Flood my brain each and every night.
For those who love me,
For mom;
I will continue this
Fearsome fight.
Visions of joy again,
Fleetingly reveal sparks of light.
For darkness will not win;
Not today,
No, not this time tonight.
Our bodies appear so new Eve,
alive with steam and secrets like uncolonized landscapes,
you look at me as if I'm the answer to your agonized ardor,
we are here, in the morning of human mystery,
I see your warm breath trailing from lips undoubting,
removing the simple garment of cotton wool
hanging from vine straps on your tanned shoulders,
I drool a coma of virgin wine,
a drama rushes through my glands for you,
adrenaline rises hot in the pulse we share,
I'm feelin you Eve,
fevering for your cleaving to me,
with both hands,
grabbing your welcoming neck like a pleasure treasure,
kissing you from side to side
slowly, lovingly,
open mouth survival,
a lust revival,
could be our last moment,
love me with that viper tongue,
this is how we were meant to be,
hold my staff as it ripens for you Eve,
I lay you open as a new Gospel,
roaming your foaming fruit,
mesmerized by the moaning,
take my scepter as a rod of romance Eve...
By Poet - Adam/J.A.B.
I love you for being my husband.
I thank you for all your love.
I thank you for being there,
A special person sent from above.
I thank God for sending you to me,
For giving me a life with you.
And our children he entrusted me.
Your acceptance, guidance and care,
Given so unconditionally.
Together with my love and certainty,
Give us so much to share.
I feel a special bond not there before.
It gets stronger every day.
Making within me such awesome happiness,
My heart longs to soar.
I know that I am not always perfectly undoubting.
We both have our failures and imperfections.
I think, however, our short comings and trials
Build between us stronger connections.
I believe that God has brought us together,
Because each has a lot to offer the other.
You, as the father and husband,
And me, as the wife and mother.
Summer Gratias
Hold onto fantasy if you dare
Ride the night winds over desolations sands
Hear the fading voice of the masses
The few who chanced all and were devoured
Consumed within the flames of selfishness
Live in the blessing of daylight
That finite moment that can never be held
A tempest ravaging without an ending
Raging on without entreaty…without reservation
Hold onto the truth scratched on the wall
Declaring to the one who reads his own deliverance
Listen to the song of life slowing
Into sweet nothingness ever pellucid
Deepened in truth as time marches forward
Hold onto fantasy if you choose
Drink of its essence upon deaths embrace
It’s that undoubting spirit which will carry you onward
The respite from solitary pursued throughout life
Abandoned
Washed away
on some far distant shore
I reach out for
you, there,never, no more
How could you leave me high and dry
To wither and die
my soul, alas,cries
You r words are
swords upon my heart
cutting it open with a start
I long to be loved and to love
why is it so hard from you,human ,but not from
my GOD above
My Lod is undoubting
your love is flaunting
I lay down the clock and protective walls
No more will your ways make my worth to fall
Your arrows of words fall on my armour of steel
no more will I let your coldness determine how I feel
I am stronger and will go on to succeed
With Gods's love, thats all I need
