I am so consumed with subtle rage.
I feel it clogged in my pores,
wedged in the creases of my bones.
It is caught in my teeth and settled in the lines of my smile.
I shouldn't be this angry all the time;
He contributed directly to the cultural environment that made participation in deportations, discrimination, and ultimately genocide seem moral and patriotic.
I am.
love's force, gusting, unbroken breeze, turned our Nazarite warrior
who'd wrestled lions, effaced the foe with a donkey's mandible
but his prime weakness was known after decoy lips blinded him
My visage of her
Emancipated beautiful
I enter into her beauty
From across the room I stare
My nose erected I smell
Smell her essence was flaming
Desire, my heart vibrate warm is fire
Amidst it's my duty, to enter into her beauty
She is potion, silken
And more desired than shea lotion
God And her mother second that emotion
As I enter into her beauty

Written by James Edward Lee Sr
I ride my winged horse beneath the moon,
With faery fiddles and spirited tunes.
My cowgirl heart and fancy flame,
Wild with glee, they're one and the same.
Sing with winds, play in trees,
Whisper Ogham across the breeze.
Clouds above and oceans below,
Guide this faery wherever she goes.
I see the western sun arise
With faery wings in morning skies.
Crossing the forests, flowing orbs,
Dreamy trails where emotions are absorbed.
Sing windswept, climb the trees,
Whisper Ogham in the breeze.
Clouds above and oceans below,
Guide this faery wherever she goes.
The Oak Grove is my range, dark and old,
With owls and horses bold,
Cowboy blues and faery songs
Will keep the prarie rolling on.
Golden treasure found in the dawn
Faeries in ocean waves carry on.
Golden sparkles and diamonds plead
For riches, that freedom to be me.
Sing with rainbows and climb the trees.
Whisper Ogham in the breeze.
Clouds above and oceans below
Guide faeries wherever they go.
My cowgirl heart is a free faery
In a magic lifestyle meant for me!
infers rough shell
gestures diaphanous drapes
airy signature form
adopting gown's pardoned trails
not being flat
introduce informal tryst
secrets adorn front page
luster affair maneuver
Stand witness to our heaven on earth-
Something so obvious but still many cannot See-
They are the creators of all life through birth-
Why are they not held high by all, how can this be?
Alas because some believe them a beast of burden-
Their mission to serve others and be submissive-
To roil under the strict laws made by men!
Not to have all the rights that life should give-
One day all these wrong men shall awaken-
Mother and sisters and daughters alive-
To grasp the dignity and trust that was taken-
To finally allow the true heaven on earth to thrive-

You trip,I catch you,
You laugh before I can scold-
That's how we keep falling right,
Foolish lovers we,
Turning bruises into jokes
Our chaos makes peace
Mother Tongue
(Tanka)
The Morning
Your hands still tremble
To tie my laces I forgot
Every morning
Love arrives before sunrise
Softly smells of maize and prayer
The lesson
When the world burns loud outside
You hush it with one old hymn
How could I repay
The woman who taught my heart
To listen before it speaks?
Their whispers rise,a curling flame,
Behind each hush, a heat untold.
No saint escapes a sinner's name;
Their whispers rise,a curling flame.
The tongue's a torch, it plays the game,
The truth's too young, the lies too old.
Their wishes rise, a curling flame,
Behind each hush a heat untold.
No Off Switch
There’s no off switch, I can’t stop feeling it.
The fire that burns within me , can’t be put out, no matter how loud I scream and shout.
Even the screams are quiet, deep inside. Nothing can be heard. Like I’m in a soundproof room.
The constant feeling I get, pulsing within. It truly feels like sin. But I don’t care.
To All The Girls in Reitz,
Your light makes black holes blink out of
existence and stars kneel in homage.
Sisters.I was born at Reitz.
I am a Free State boy me
I am the Rose of Reitz, the radiance
that rules,a rapturous revolution.
Billions of bright bodies bow before
my blossoming beauty.
A touch totally transforms time through
sheer tenderness.
I shimmer,shushing eternity,stunningly
strong,a supernova.
Flames falter,freeze, flee from my fierce fire.
The worlds wait,witnessing what wonders
will waltz from me next.
I heard women have ruined the workplace,
By showing what it means to lead with grace.
We still make far less money than men,
Yet have more sway with the sword and pen.
We ruined the meetings, made them an email,
We worked together to succeed, not fail.
Held men accountable for their actions,
Came here to work, not to be distractions.
We ruined inappropriate chatter,
Modeled respect - the heart of the matter.
We led with patience and confidence,
Showed that true leaders use evidence.
We ruined the workplace to include us.
Now when men react, they cannot make a fuss.
They have to treat us like we’re humans too -
The horror, the shock, the rumors were true.
We ruined the long-standing lack of empathy,
Replaced it with compassion and transparency.
We listened and mentored, made people feel heard,
A shift in the mindset - and progress occurred.
We ruined the toxic culture which isn’t fair,
Moving the needle for redemption and repair.
Call it destruction or a needed rebirth,
We ruined the workplace by knowing our worth.
Men dream of Fame — as Stars — pursue —
Across the darkened Sky —
They chase the Echo — of their Name —
Till Morning burns it — dry —
But Woman — wakes — as Petals do —
At Dawn’s — unbidden gleam —
Her Heart — the Chamber — of the Sun —
Her Breath — the budding Dream —
The Laurel — crowns the restless brow —
That sought — a World’s Applause —
But Love — it bends — the gentler Knee —
And keeps — Diviner Laws —
The Trumpet — fades — the Banner — falls —
The Ages — lose — their Sound —
Yet — in one Soul’s remembering —
Eternity — is found —
The moment is all that exists.
Years are gone,the future resists.
In this present,life unfolds.
A story in time,bravely unfolds.
The worries of yesterday fade,
Tomorrow's fears, a distant parade.
In the now,find peace and light,
Embrace the present,day and night.
For in this moment,life is found,
On rock-hard ground,firmly bound
The present,a donation,freely given,
In this present,true living is striven.
#The_Sea_is_empty
They said there were plenty of fishes in the sea, maybe I'm in the wrong sea.
In this sea, fishes swims nomore,
life has ravished them,
choices have left them gushed into mince of unstable emotions,
their health in deteriorating state.
Something gigantic has left its permanent mark here,
not only on them but the generation,
they are yet to breed.
Their scars festers so deep,
haunts one mind in just one stare.
Choices have amputated dreams
Cut short even some life, in this sea.
In this sea, plenty remains a far fetched wild dream
In this sea no hope can survive
Life has taken its fair share
Left empty shells
Shells whom silence, deafens the soul
In this sea, the only plenty I see, is death
In this sea, life fates before my eyes
Souls are roaming,
it's a death trap
Its survival of the fittest,
if not of the beast
In this sea nothing is plenty

The gado* crashes past sweethearts'murals,hearts already broken,
Vapor groans like weary wraiths of last day' pledges,
Skins glow with Vaseline,faces lit by deceptive affection-
Who dares to feel?
Her fragrance wafts blending with metal breath,
We exchange looks,the calm betwixt us murmurs like power lines,
Outdoors,level plots fade in a murkiness of dirt and nostalgia-
I almost speak
But at Langlaagte* too soon she's gone with the throng,
Only the echo of her kindness marks my seat,
I scroll through unfamiliar smiles,phony love returns-
Between stations,hurt.
Gado--South African slang for train
Langlaagte--A train station in Johannesburg
