Notably, I cannot deny, the telling of re-telling

it was a blueprint for reckless heart beats,

beating as the odor of some lame excuse

an undertow devouring life’s mysterious shillings

prowess of a wild delusional hurricane forced

abandoned romance when morning opened revealing

lives that intersected with insightful quotes….

You know the ones, that poke & prod your side, ...forever

questions the mind of misery & doubt with incredible pain

to sacrifice everything for that deep-rooted aggressor

which grows jealous subletting to darkness and rain

remarkable how some bring inspiration to mind’s eyes

dancing with the premise of beautiful perspectives in vain

in that one moment, on the edge of saying “yes” to lullabies

relying on the throws of a historical intensity, crying acid rain

like a sponge screaming, the deepest ink of mid-night blues

sometimes when you think you win
you really loose

harnessing justification for the existence of summer’s cocaine

a teen’s great prologue absorbed & leaped a meaningful appetite

clever, this ancient oak, that groaned beneath her waves of tears

incessantly tracing the silhouette of all those echoing oversights

You know the ones, those pretty wide-eyed dreams….

Never…..ever….. to know…the art of listening….

sometimes when you think you lose
you really win

Lee J (how come so many people always miss the J?)
My name is Lee J.

Lee, A Wise & Wonderful write..
'those wide eyed dreams'..yes, how cloudy
they can be, & looking back we can sometimes
see most clearly.

Well done,

Sky~

er, uhmmm,  LEEJ, I for one (whew) have never called you just plain old Lee, (that's a totally unqualified statement because, sometimes, I don't know what has come out of my mouth! Until someone puts a spike in my brow.)

Anyway, LeeJ, I really like the way this piece read, and enjoyed the second read too, but like several of yours, I don't always quite understand what you've said; an idea, sure, but sometimes you just get beyond my addled brain. I still read everything that comes across with your name on it though, just so you know.
