I can't help it. As I lay under the most beautiful blanket of stars, it's hard not to be selective in my focus of attention, better yet my undivided becomes undecided as I gaze further into depths one could lose ones self and yet i cant take my eyes away from it.... ' Phone Home...

In a deep indigo night, bright sliver moonlight shines across a barren land. On a lonely hill, a manor stands… its windowed eyes to a world blind. Staring into the void, sublime wind tumbles desolate sands. Broken, old, dried skeletal branches sway the last fleeting remains of a harsh day… A figure bare in bones n thin pale skin standing in the...

Lattice of iron, reaching for a sky, that cradles clouds, and whispers of centuries. Not just a tower, but a symbol of aspiration, a skeletal dream, etched against the twilight, a monument to human ingenuity. The wind, a restless traveler, sighs through its frame, a metallic song, a chorus of the city, a whisper of the Seine's flow. Lights, a constellation, sparkling in the night, a beacon of romance, a spectacle of...

False, mechanical eyes see across the city Their connectors neatly hitting your brain stem with tiny signals It’s amazing what technology can do these days what your technology can do You taste the salty fish cubes in front of you Resting on a rectangle plate Salty, but not much else In a fine futuristic restaurant Rain pattering the windows Bluish green buildings in rows...

Like you promised, I was timely awakened by the crowing of your cock. I'll never again question its utility as a remarkable alarm clock. It's so dependably punctual, so unquestionably functional. Too bad your cock ~ is so despised by everyone else on your block. ...

On mine tippy-toes The door would open shut; The window was raised down; On my pinky-toes; Vertigo had me spinning so; Simultaneously spinning on ceiling and floor; Up above my head; I am a urban ballerina 3/27/25 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2024...

Once there stood a golden field, Swaying crops, a farmer's yield. Morning songs of birds took flight, Beneath the sky so vast and bright. The village paths, of dust and stone, Where children laughed and cattle roamed, Now paved with tar, so smooth and wide, Where restless cars and buses glide. The thatched-roof homes with lantern’s glow, Replaced by lights in glassy rows. The banyan...

some level of falling from grace happens in slab city its twisted humanity when kindness stops being nornal when green crusaders are dismissed, unseen like burying waste in landfill city of slab-stick where we live normal lives within shuttered malls affluence superimposed on poverty can anything mellow us with nature clotted under sprawl? breeding, feeding, receding within plated walls unable to bend the city to one's...

Within 12 months, I met two fine individuals. They both appeared to be gentlemen, Not an inappropriate word or behaviour towards me. Surprisingly, they both appreciated the same rare quality in women. I learned that from their own statement. One thing they have in common, They both were too shy to say goodbye. One even could not spare the word "Good night". Amayzingly,...

Title: Zodiac Freak (Verse 1) Are you the zodiac freak? (Ooh) In the moonlight, I see your spark, Electric whispers, calling me, We dance through shadows, it’s a secret arc. With every breath, you draw me near, Mystic vibes in the atmosphere, Lost in your rhythm, can’t break free, These signs of love, they’re meant for me. (Chorus) Are you the zodiac freak, I’ve been searching for? Girl,...

Yay! Some cold at last, and even a dusting of snow. We moved back into the dorm—braving knife-like breezes—yesterday. It was bracing and heroic - do I want it to warm up? That’s a hard no. let’s wax poetic.. Think not of winter as bleak wrap your steely bones warmly, wear a cap —for gelid wintertide can bind us together. Midwinter is the...
