I watched the moon. Hide once behind the clouds.
Do you know how many times you made me proud?
I'm gonna speak to them now. A million times allowed.
Because you are what, let me hide behind the clouds
Won't you turn around, please, and let me be seen?
For everything we are and everything that we've been..
I promise I'll complete you if you stay with me..
'Cause I remember the nights when you'd lie with me
And we'd talk and touch, and we'd fall asleep
I would wake in your arms and finally feel at ease.
I still have my shirt in a dresser drawer,
The one with the diamonds, which you liked at that store
Then life became a violent storm
Oh, how it's raining.
Oh how the water falls
I used to think we had safety.
That was set in stone,
But now I just miss you, and I lie awake. Left alone!

“LIGHTNING STRIKES JETLINER SULFERLY”
The Jetliner was flying through a violent storm
This is the norm at times
The Jetliner originated from Los Angeles enroute to Chicago
A fierce lightning bolt sheared through the side of the air craft
The captain managed to maneuver the air craft
However, there was some damage
All the passengers were shaken up
Some were insured during the ordeal
The captain radioed the nearest airport
It was Dallas-Fort Worth Airport
The captain wanted to make an emergency landing
The Dallas-Fort Worth Control Tower told the captain that the runway was all clear for his descend
The Medical and Emergency team quickly went to runway 5 for the air craft
The captain had the Jetliner wheels down and turned towards Dallas-Fort Worth
The plane landed safe
Some of the passengers were taken to nearby hospitals
While others refused medical attention
Lightning bolt impact damage
Luckily no deaths were reported and everyone survived
Survival chapter
As the evening was turning to night
The sun had already set
10:00 pm being time to sleep
There was no counting of sheep
My eyes began to get heavy
Trying to fight it
Sandman won
A dream started the stage
It was totally amazed
Through the illusion
Survival or Death in the air
Turbulence quarters
Danger and warning surrounding
I was aboard a passenger plane
Why I was on the plane will remain
Unknown destination
We encountered a violent storm
Pouring rain and flashes of lightning with Thunder
The plane tries to go above
Then drops
The plane started to shake
The Captain announced “BUCKLE UP”
Suddenly the plane did a nose dive in a quick motion
I remember seeing an ocean
It was faster and faster
Immediately, the plane got back up in the air
Suddenly I woke up from the dream
I survived
Dream of reality
The possibilities
Against all odds
Nightmare
Troubled mind
Dare to dream
The Storm
The winds of anger blow
fierce against me.
Cold sheets of driven rain
like tears sting my eyes.
Growling thunder strikes
terror in my heart.
I fear the deadly strike of charged
bolts of retribution.
I see the eye of the storm
approaching.
In it I see you walking
towards me.
Your hand extended in
forgiveness.
The violent storm is
suddenly gone.
Where is our love, where did it go?
When did it slip away
My heart is sad for I loved you so
How did we come to this cruel day
I’m still the one you promised to love
To cherish and care for all of our life
We’d weather all storms, we’d rise above
A couple, a pair, husband and wife
But it seems in your anger you need someone to blame
And I’m always there in your line of fire
Such is your wrath you don’t remember my name
I’m only an object for venting your ire
But this violent storm I can no longer thole
It’s time to break free if I’m to survive
I’ve given too much, I’ve given my all
There’s no morsel left , I’m hardly alive
I’m walking out of this life, out of the door
Leaving behind all the hurt and the pains
The tender young love that we knew before
A heart-wrenching memory is all that remains.
I remember that day so long ago
when my family all went to the local store
and I discovered the traveling art show
paintings had they on every wall
price so low that even I could buy
and I did wandering gaze upon them
but until I did come upon one
a scene portrayed that I have not forgot
a violent storm crashing upon
a stone dock from city ancient
banners torn within the wind
tatters only did there remain
hung up on upon pillars strong
standing forth in the pouring rain
lightning flashed within the storm
waves rose so high then fell upon
docks were which no ship was tied
there so lonely with in the storm
and a price I could afford
and I wanted it to buy
but my mother would hear it not
and in her house it would not hung
many years now have I sought
never again for me to see
always searching for the painting lost
O blackish-blue-eyed girl
with eyes lined with ember,
who dreams of clouds
and endless skies,
Let me gaze into your eyes,
once more,
as they bloom like a flower,
pulling me into their depths.
O girl with captivating eyes,
grant me the chance
to love you once again.
A violent storm arose,
dust swirled, veiling the earth,
and in the sky,
I saw your mesmerizing eyes,
drawing me into you,
like a black hole.
My soul left its home,
and merged with you,
the black hole faded
into the abyss of space.

My hands are clenched into fists
Knuckles white, bulging like boulders of rage
They tremble with the weight of repressed fury
Itching to lash out, to break something, anything, everything
Each finger is ready to poke hard, judge and condem
A violent storm of chaos and pain boiling beneath my skin
My hands, once full of vibrant life
Creative and healing
Now they just rest here, useless
Still, void of life like dead, wilted flowers
Where vital energy once flowed through
Now tired, worn, barbed wire around my bones
Fingers that once held love, held hope very tight
Have become gnarled and weak,
Grasping only the black emptiness of sorrow
Nimbus clouds are spinning and swirling
Lightning is swiftly sending his bolts hurling
Silver spears he's throwing to Earth are my cue
to boom before a violent storm passes through
When I roar, clamoring aloud, buildings shake
People tremble as if I was causing an earthquake
There's a deafening timber in the sound of my voice
It's the only way I can speak and it's not by choice
Many have great fear of me, but I do them no harm
They should think of me as a warning alarm
when in the far off distance they hear my call
telling of a thunderstorm approaching with a squall
One rainy day
Is peaceful and gentle
Light tapping on the window, soothing the mind
A soft mood set
Like it can wash all of your worries away
One rainy day
A violent storm
Trees swaying, threatening to break and fall
Pounding thunder scaring one under the covers
The power flickering
One rainy day
And the world is gray
Nothing matters anymore
The ambient noise numbing every sense
Stress, anxiety, depression
And you let go
For many
All it takes
Is one more rainy day
Hurricane winds course through an island
deprived emotions lie like branches caught,
blown wreckage of a violent storm;
Racing towards the eye of the storm
seeking the peace of an isolated island,
prisoner of your thoughts you are caught;
Tightly braided rope somehow caught
calm intensifies and softens this storm
a welcome gust upon a fragile island;
My mind is an island caught in a storm.
In a kingdom full of sunsets
I discovered the storms
In there stepped a dark ramp
Eagerly I looked for the dusk
And the violent storm never sliding
To warn me about the extinction
Death brings forth rains
But since it's winter it now only snows
Lucifer has closed his eyes
His winds flicker in the skies
for you see the Son sets
Weathers falling nature stalls
As the Son rises
For in natures and all creation
God kingdom full of Sunsets

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
You speak ambiguous as if a metaphor with a double meaning,
creating sights and sounds closely matching yet differently.
As if a the sun were in your smile or a fire burning in your soul,
our love is a match that has been struck upon the flint of our hearts.
With eyes reaching deeply into my core as if passing through,
the earth mantel with hot lava flowing and building into a volcanic explosion.
This timeless clock makes our life spin by as our earths are turning,
creating a violent storm with ocean waves feeling your yearning.
You have cast a reel connect to a spell, bated it with love and hooked me,
placing your sails upon me, guiding me with a rudder, steering me with love.
I was overboard and you threw me your lifesaving circle around me,
landing on our tropical paradise as you guide me with your tender love.
As the coastguard fly’s over our signal fire is seen loud and clear,
everyone will know you have saved me from this life of loneliness.
Giving me strength to go on no longer lost with emptiness or forgone
Completing this circle of life and meeting in the middle then connecting
Our hearts and souls
From the depth of my soul, you are my life:
All others are teasing me to become your wife;
You have already entered my heart like a violent storm:
So please, come and swipe me against the norm;

You are completely my extension:
Most of the time trying to seek my attention;
From the depth of my soul you are my life:
All others are teasing me to become your wife;
You have already entered my heart like a violent storm:
So please,come and swipe me against the norm;
Your love sighs ..,echoes to me..
No matter how long is our physical distance:
I would just wish to come beside you..
And calm your heart's feelings by my assistance;
Let's retain faith in our love really strong:
And sorry for making you wait so long; !
