And maybe,
After we perish,
We will finally collide
Not bound by destiny,
But rather by the specks of dirt we're buried beneath.
They say,
Togetherness is contagious,
But Infirmity never claimed me
For our flesh had remained strangers to one another.
We never shaped the lives we dreamt of.
We forgot to be while becoming.
Yet,
In the core of the earth,
somehow, we find each other,
Tangled in the asthenosphere.
it's the only thing we share;
Death, dirt, and desire.
We were never each other's in life,
Yet the earth made us one in death.
Wish you had someone better,
So dreams wouldn't shatter —
Of holding your desired moon,
I hope I leave your life soon.
So when I leave, don't call it loss,
Call it the tide that had to cross —
I hope I leave your life soon,
And you still get to keep the moon.
Whilst are glowing in whose midst
For each fruit tree's
Flavours to try
The privileged sense of it
Passes we by.
Where each old world's dying wish
Celt's, Greek's, spear-dropped
Blew them, be us!
Faint, mythic isled; if yarded
Less serious!
If I must handcuff your hands
Or tie you to the bed
I would gladly do it
You're not going anywhere
For you are stuck with me endlessly
You will always be my man
And no other woman can take you away from me
Because;
We
B

L

Together
So look deep into my eyes
As I feel your heart beating next to mine
Now tell me
Am I not the woman
You want in your life
Tell me
Am I not the woman
Who treat you like a king
Tell me
Am I not the woman
Who completes you full
Plus give you
Unconditional love
You never knew existed
The two of us had our share of bad times
Yet still
We're tenacious as;
R
O
C
K
S
If I must climb the highest mountain
Just to be with you
I would do it with every breath I take
For me, without you makes no sense
Therefore, you are all mine
And I'm truly yours

No words
can true love express
nor verse sonnet or song
No touch
can true love relieve
nor kiss cuddle or caress
No comfort
can true love this need
to reciprocate
a promise of foreverness
Deeply, i reference you, oh God,
You de pass most high God,
You sidon outside for taim.
I am yours, you de mine.
dia's absolutely no failure for you
aseti kosi l'oro re
PaPa, you de great mighty you de
We find you praise Hallelujah
Deeply, I reference you,
Oh God, you pass
Most high God. I am yours

written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2025
You could be emerald, rich and rare..
A living glow in open air.
A shade that dances in the light..
Soft as dawn or fierce as night.
Yet still be told you’re not quite right..
Not someone’s dream, not their delight.
Not flawed, not less, not incomplete..
Just not the tone they long to meet.
For some see oceans, endless blue..
And all their world is shaped by hue.
They’ll chase that tide, that quiet sea..
And miss the forest standing free.
But listen close and hear this truth..
It’s not a fault, nor lack, nor proof.
It isn’t worth that’s come undone..
It’s simply two not meant as one.
So don’t repaint your soul to please..
Or bend your roots to fit their breeze.
Don’t dim your fire, don’t lose your light..
To fit within another’s sight.
So stand in green.. untamed, alive..
The way you were designed to thrive.
And walk away from where you’ve been..
For someone out there loves your green.
I'm finally drawing a rough draft
of a situation gone out of hand,
no writing in the dry sand:
a storm is predicted
by the weather forecast;
no traces will be left!
Lisa's fingers are moving fast,,
what if they erased all
and they let the ball roll?
Is stupidity wasting
my time and yours,
losing each detail
of concentration
on this worthless task?
We need more dedication,
more profound inspiration
to bring it to a conclusion:
our plans are misty clouds
pierced by sharp sounds!
Imagination can create castles
without a wand,
my time and yours
must have a final plan so grand;
think of the outcome indeed:
a life lived together without greed!
I don't know anything about anything at this point. You're messing with my brain, pushing me away just to see if I'll come running back and I do, every single time like a dang fool. You're older but that doesn't mean you have the right to leave all this on me. That if the relationship you built on lies and my advice crumbles to the ground, that I'll be there, waiting to take the fall for you and
clean up the mess you made because my friends were right, you're no princess and I'm no Cinderella.
Its Yours
Its yours
Yes
Everything that you want
You can get
Its yours
Its your time
To shine ??
Its yours
That door you've been waiting to open
Opportunities that were left unspoken
Sometimes greatness takes a while
It will be worth it
Remember no one's perfect
Perfection in the right direction
Will come
Its yours , just name it, Manifest it, claim it
Its yours
Name it
Manifest it, claim it
Start reaching
And grabbing
Your blessings
They are worth having
You've did what had to be done
You've took alot of losses and now you've won
You've won battles , that you quietly kept
You started loving yourself
Every tear you've cried ??
Has opened your eyes
What God has in store for you
You'd be surprised
Its yours
Name it
Manifest it, claim it
Bridge
Its time
For you
To do what God called you to do
Accept it with open arms
Know that God will bring no harm
Its yours
Name it
Manifest it, claim it
(Repeat until chorus fades)

Why do we say and do those things, we do,
situations always changing, in front of me and you.
The thoughts, oh the feelings they can bring,
make you fighten mad, or maybe even sing.
It’s the thoughts that rises anger, from his sleep,
we all know, that he’s no company to keep.
The emotions, sometimes what a mess,
this is why we do and say, those things I guess.
I’m going to get me a shirt, please don’t feed the bear,
if you wake him up, anything is fair.
Why do we say and do, those things, knowing he’s a sleep,
so if you wake him up, take him home, he’s yours to keep
I would wear your emblem on display,
So you shall never feel dismay.
My power comes from your words,
Though they can cut others like swords.
Our intimacy brings ecstasy,
Like a cloth rippling through the sea.
Conjoined in unity and love,
Like a wailing song from a dove.
Like the Holy Spirit beget Jesus,
The light shall shine for the two of us.
My skin hot, bothered and sizzling,
Love so strong never fizzling.
Journey through the times,
Like an instrument that chimes,
I'm valued like an old pack of dimes.
Passion building like open flames,
Heart locked down to yours with chains.
Birds singing on the skies,
Sweet aromas like freshly baked pies.
You and I ........ Oh what a perfect match...
Perfectly molding like a roof of thatch.
Placing our love on a picture frame,
Cause with your love I don't need any fame.
First Lohri .. from our hearts to yours
This First Lohri feels different, our children dear,
Joy in our hearts, yet a quiet tear.
This fire burns bright, though you’re far away,
Yet our prayers reach you, night and day.
Our handsome son, a part of our soul,
Our beautiful daughter in law, who made us whole.
In you both, we find laughter and light,
Two hearts, one journey, perfect in His might.
May Lohri’s warmth embrace you wherever you stay,
May rewri’s sweetness follow your every way.
May no distance ever lessen the love,
That flows from our hearts, the blessings above.
How far away you maybe, but never alone,
You live in our prayers, in every tone.
Happy First Lohri, our precious two,
All our love, is always, only for you.

Touch the silk that lines your glove
smooth and soft.
They don't bother with the skin
you were never shown love.
Do not write me letters
They'll be burned away
Hungry are the eyes that are
eating me away, they're
eating me away, they'll
never get away, they're
eating me away
Do not make me stay.
I'll float across your hands as they play
Scars on your knuckles, they're bruised from
your touch.
I feel every bump, every cut, any scrape;
they're eating you away
they'll never go away
they're eating you away
you'll never have to say,
"I want you to stay"
I would anyway.
I know that look.
The look you give me when you have doubts
you look at me, but I notice a glimpse of
something
subtle
when the sun hits you right.
I miss seeing it.
I see eyes all the time
everyone has a pair
But nobody has yours.
How can I tell?
What should I wear?
You're wearing hazel which I match
mocha, but mine is dull next to you.
There's a light in yours.
Radiating from a ring only I can see.
You couldn't see it in the dark but to me?
There is no such place where you're looking.
But I know that look.
"There is no light when I look in the mirror?
Our clothes match?
Everyone has eyes, so what's the difference?"
I miss seeing you.
You wander through the night and the moon
simply isn't bright enough.
I can't see them, but they're there.
The moon can't blind me.
They can't blind me; I still see you
with my eyes I see you
and suddenly
we match.
