Dark Fantasies
Jamie Lee Jul 2015
Into the shades of black,
she walked alone.
Down the narrow path,
covered with stone.

Creeping in the shadows,
the unknown lurked.
The darkness lay low,
displaying a smirk.

The moment of silence,
a rise to the peak.
Controlled patience;
not for the weak.

Suddenly, she turns,
to face her attack.
The feeling, it burns,
everything is black.

Not a sound heard,
or a glimpse to see.
No spoken words,
during our flee.

Executed perfectly,
she lay as we wait.
Surely she will plea,
in the dawn of her fate.

Anticipation rises,
as her eyes open.
Wearing disguises,
we begin the fun.

Fear covers her face,
as the tears stream.
Dressed in all lace,
just like my dream.

"It's time to play,
don't be afraid."
Behave and obey,
you will be laid."


Sweet pleasures,
delivered to you.
Soft like feathers,
a fantasy come true.

Feeling your touch,
she is lost in delight.
Liking it rough;
no longer a fight.

She has succumbed;
gaining her appetite.
Moaned and hummed,
knowing it's right.

Once unwelcome,
yet now begged for.
Each time she comes,
she still wants more.

Taken to a new high,
she is now an addict.
Spreading her thighs,
she asks to be licked.

Enchanted
Jamie Lee Jul 2015
Left with silence,
in the absence,
of your presence,
I simply remain.

Drifting through,
without a clue,
of what I should do,
I suffer this pain.

Wishing on stars,
to heal my scars;
the distance, so far-
I'm tearing apart.

I am not whole,
only half a soul,
my love, you stole-
my beating heart.

Withdrawals
Jamie Lee Jun 2015
I can smell your sweet cologne,
and my heart aches...

A warm flood of tears rush,
knowing that I cannot hold you,
or feel the warmth of your comfort,
for you are not next to me...

The place of beauty is your home,
surrounded by loving family.

The place of greed has become mine,
adapting so effortlessly...wanting,
all of you.

Another whiff of your cologne,
keeps the flood flowing...

As I face your side of the bed,
staring at the void that is left,
I sink deeper into despair...
with my need growing stronger.

Feeling as if I will not survive,
this uncontrollable flood,
quickly becomes heavier...
weeping for your presence.

I need to look into your eyes...
those gorgeous windows of yours,
to see that beautiful soul beneath;
to have my tranquility.

I need to be held in your arms...
listening to soft whispers of love,
experiencing that new feeling,
of being completely whole.

Only to my torture do I dare,
to brave another whiff...

I am reminded with wet warmth,
of how much I need you by my side.

I miss you like crazy...
as my broken flood gates,
have revealed.

I love you Jessica. Always and Forever!

Each time...
Jamie Lee Jun 2015
Each time I stare,
into your gorgeous eyes,
I see a long wonderful journey,
into our future together.

Each time I feel,
the warmth of your hold,
I drown in the serenity knowing,
the comfort that you give.

Each time you say,
how beautiful you find me,
my heart swells and smiles,
cherishing your love.

Each time we kiss,
forgetting to breathe,
I am carried away with passion,
and the need for your lips.

Each time I hold you,
I hope that you can feel,
the endless love in my heart,
which I hold just for you.

Each time I say,
you are the love of my life,
please know that I say this,
from the depths of my soul.

Each time we must,
part ways for a while,
my heart aches with pain,
needing you by my side.

Each time you stare,
into the window of my soul,
I open every door to you,
bearing true nakedness.

Each time you laugh,
I am taken to a place,
that fills me with pure bliss,
grateful for every moment.

Each time you wake,
next to me in the morning,
I know I am looking,
at the other half of me.

Each time you rest,
next to me at the end of day,
I thank my lucky stars,
for bringing you to me.

Each time I see,
your **** *** before me,
everything in this crazy world,
feels so amazingly right.

You are my everything Jessica!
I love you sweetheart!!

A New Battle
Jamie Lee May 2015
Finally accepted my terms,
only to face a new battle.

Poisoned by trusting his love,
with wounds that do not heal.

These scars that I bare,
continue to grow deeper.

Diseased and contagious,
I have become a risk.

Fearful of another mistake,
I am hesitant to love her.

Instinctively, I withdraw,
this is not her burden.

Yet without her, I can't win,
she is everything I am not.

She is my victory,
for every painful tear shed.

I love you Jessica! <3

Coming Undone
Jamie Lee May 2015
The dangers of life,
wait around every corner,
for each unsuspecting victim.

The pains of life,
increase with every day,
a struggle to keep fighting.

The choices of life,
filled with complications,
and heart-breaking repercussions.

The realities of life,
always harsh and cruel,
unable to escape the ugly truth.

The gifts of life,
unknowingly disguised,
accompanied by many lessons.

The treasures of life,
seem to be so few,
retaining that false hope.

The cycle of life,
never set in stone,
endlessly unpredictable.

Knight In Shining Armour
Jamie Lee May 2015
Each day that I wait,
brings more nerves,
These unique circumstances,
seems a little absurd.

How can it be possible,
that we are in love?
It is a guardian angel,
watching from above?

Words cannot express,
what I feel for you.
There is no denying,
that you feel it too.

My dear sweet love,
what will I ever do?
Because without her,
my world turns blue.
You are my saviour Jessica..

Resentment
Jamie Lee May 2015
How did I ever let you,
into my guarded heart?
How did this day come,
two worlds torn apart?

I cry with disbelief,
for this pain that I feel.
I cry with disbelief,
that this day is truly real.

I gave everything I had,
anytime that you needed.
Only to be left with this;
a pain, deeply seeded.

I ask the Universe why,
has this happened to me?
I beg the Universe please,
take me away to be free.

Where is this other land,
the world that is to be next?
In this world, I feel as though,
I am an unwelcome guest.

Despite all of my efforts,
it always ends the same.
I'm so tired of this life,
I **** at this awful game.

Please let it just stop,
I can't take anymore.
I am dying with pain,
stronger than before.

I can't actually decide,
whether I really hate you.
But one thing is certain,
this resentment is true.
Love hurts.

Three Syllables
Jamie Lee May 2015
It was told to me that,
eyes are the window,
through to ones soul.

When I look inside of hers,
I want to be the one,
that makes her whole.

Believing in life's mysteries;
I was somehow guided,
to my perfect woman.

Anytime I think of her,
in my heart I know,
she is my true one.

Our hearts; quite the pair,
higher capacity levels,
of putting others' above.

Every twinkle in her eyes,
will be a reflection,
of my devoted love.

Each time that she smiles,
hidden in her thoughts,
I claim responsibility.

In the eyes of this artist,
my Queen is a beauty,
to be loved delicately.*

Helpless
Jamie Lee May 2015
As the wind brushes the branches,
the leaves of the tree fall,
scattered upon the soft dirt,
they have been discarded.

One by one, they begin to flow,
caught in life's vicious current,
trampelled with ignorance,
into tiny crumbling pieces.

Still, the wind blows relentlessly,
the fragile binds; shattered,
a cruel, unavoidable cycle,
of stale life breathed anew.

Sweetheart
Jamie Lee May 2015
You are the apple of my eye,
And the sun in my sky,
When your smile shines bright,
Everything feels just right.

If I could have it my way,
We would simply chat all day,
Continuously make you blush,
Getting you all hot and flush.

Babe, you are my only desire,
The precious fuel to my fire,
I can't get enough of you,
The beauty you hold is true.

You are the woman I adore,
That and then some more,
I'll tell you each and every day,
In my own special way.*

Dear Jess
Jamie Lee Apr 2015
Your face appeared,
With your blue-eyed gaze,
In that moment I froze,
Held in a lovely daze.

I admired your beauty,
With an immediate smile,
Catching a glimpse of pain,
Your heart...so fragile.

You had my attention, 
So I got a closer view,
But you lived quite far,
That just wouldn't do.

I decided to keep moving,
Only to my delight,
You sent me a message,
Then we talked all night.

I couldn't imagine this, 
The strong connection,
You have my devotion;
All of my affection.

I want to be for you,
Everything that you deserve,
I want to show you love,
And heal what hurts.

Cold Awakening
Jamie Lee Apr 2015
Too many years have passed,
Waking from this familiar daze,
Too many years I've spent,
Lying with an absent gaze.

The blinding ties of love,
Have been fully stripped,
Leaving a deep ugly hole,
Where my heart was ripped.

It is not my first time here,
Battered and in thought,
Was it a great play?
Each battle, well fought?

I did not have the time,
Before you entered my life,
To heal my ****** wounds,
From my last three year fight.

I was set up for failure,
Right from the very start,
When you decided to pursue,
And conquer my heart.

I gave you fair warning,
To which you did not heed,
Now I am suffering again,
Except now, we both bleed.

You Don't Know..
Jamie Lee Apr 2015
You are one broken human. I'm sad for you.
If only you could have loved me broken, in the pieces that I carry...
Maybe then I could have help putting myself together,
Instead of walking by your side, devoted to your happiness,
Only to be sitting here again, with more pieces this time.

You are more ****** than I thought.
In all that time, you never got to know the real me...
You can't accept that I am not your perfect,
No matter how hard I tried to be,
I am more ****** than I thought too.

Just the weak ones
Stand by your side when you have nothing, or no one.
Make several attempts and compromises for our success.
Make the hard decision to say enough is enough, and let love go.
Walk away with this pain in my heart, knowing it's for the best.

Just the weak ones
Give in to temptation, and the want to be desired.
Betray your trust and faith.

I am weak
I have had enough of you putting me down,
trying to change the person I am, that you don't like, into a person you would.
I am tired of wondering whether you want me and aching for affection.
I am tired of being tired with my life.
I am tired of not feeling loved.*

I am human, I do wrong, but I aim for right.
You are far from perfect yourself, but I loved every bit of you.

Defeated
Jamie Lee Apr 2015
Another long chapter finalized,
With an unsatisfying end,
Wedges sit in the breaks,
With no means to mend.

Left to stir, in disconnection,
Slowly absorbing my reality,
Suffering from a lack of control,
In stabilizing my mentality.

The vast space, now a void,
Fills with pain and sorrow,
Another sleepless night ahead,
Drifting into a cold tomorrow.

Whispers scream, "you're broken,"
Suffocating in bitter defeat,
Mustering the strength to stand,
Rather than cower and retreat.

Soon before me is another day;
The start of a new chapter,
How do I face my choices-
The consequences of laughter?

I can only give a broken smile,
Weighed down by damage,
Now alone with my depression,
Unsure of how to manage.*

Halloween Adventures
Jamie Lee Apr 2015
At first we met, just out for some fun,
Halloween parties, come all but one.
Leaving my petty, sorrow behind,
I was on the floor, getting on my grind.

A drunken tale, it was for me,
Out for the night, completely free.
We drank and we danced,
Until our very last chance.

That was the night of decisions,
As he lay hospitalized with incisions,
That I chose to live for me,
And battle to be happy.

That night I was satisfied,
Feeling charged and electrified,
In the end, pleased with you,
And our arrangement too.

Over-played
Jamie Lee Mar 2015
Like the seasons,
we continue on this cycle.

Though we are,
without the ordered sequence.

Summers begins our year,
with hot blazes of passion.

Autumn breezes past,
with glimmers of warmth.

Suddenly, winter appears,
painful with deep colds.

Spring then follows,
bringing heavy wet clouds.

The time has come,
to which we repeat.

Without variation,
we sing our song again

Released
Jamie Lee Mar 2015
The smell of green
seeps into every pore
feeding off of each other
I am one with the forest.

As I breathe into
the comfort of her arms
I am guided by
the heart we share.

Carelessly, and swiftly
I leave footprints, yet
She is without harm
as I reach her center.

My mind clears
to embrace her peace
releasing my soul
so she may see me.

As she accepts
our dance begins-
to her strong lead
I follow with ease.

In these moments
I am free of confinement
My spirit is hers
for nature is my Mother

It's a Shame
Jamie Lee Mar 2015
In this life, we have no certainty.
Our next day; never guaranteed.
Uncertain of our actions to come,
or the consequences that follow.

I soar not, through the night,
like the bat overcoming blindness.
But rather, crawl in the filth,
scared, hiding beneath the surface.

Like a knee, that only gives one way,
I have no ability of ownership.
I fuss over, and fear exposure,
for that awful feeling of humility.

In my silence, I am repenting,
begging forgiveness and mercy,
swearing I can control my sins,
I act with the best intentions.

The Blues
Jamie Lee Mar 2015
These empty days pass,
like clouds in the sky;
always moving onward,
one after another.

I dream often of feelings,
imagining scenarios,
with a vast space to fill,
I carry myself away.

In my thoughts, I explore;
feeding my desires,
creating, with pleasure,
a happiness tailored for me.

Such a little thing,
yet, so precious,
though it is not everlasting,
it helps me get through.

My Whistler
Jamie Lee Mar 2015
Whether it's winter and skiing,
or it's spring site-seeing,
Either summer and biking,
or even late fall hiking;
Whistler has it all.

From snowshoeing to canoeing,
even as far as golf to frolf,
Whistler is the place to be,
with so much for you to see.

There's zip-lining to fine dining,
or ice skating and fish baiting,
including a tour of bears,
you choose your story to share.

Many come from far away,
just to live the Whistler day,
as we bring people together,
while they make memories forever,
because Whistler has it all.

Repeat
Jamie Lee Mar 2015
Such as a puzzle is confusing, that you are to me.
New discoveries I approach, and so may it be.
That, however I cannot, bear surprises of thee.
Such will, I do not have, to let it be.

Too often, within myself, I fight.
Making poor attempts, at views of right.
My vision askew, yet only slight.
A day to come, of achieving right.

Tearing into fragments, over one's heart.
Torturing thoughts, bring me apart.
Pierced by points, sharper than a dart.
Yet no desire stirs, to be apart.

Swallowed in anger, carried by sadness.
Thy mind drifts slowly, into madness.
Wearing a comical look of happiness,
I sit solemnly, within this madness.
Written on 2013-03-16 // Copyright ©2013 Jamie Johnson.
Jamie Lee Mar 2015
Your glory is found in my weakness,
and your pride in my pain,
your purpose is meaningless,
for when your gone I will remain.

You enjoy the cruelty within,
as mercy is what you lack,
you embrace my suffering,
like how I see through cracks.

My body swells from your punishment,
as I lye helpless with scars and bruises,
my heart and soul cry for help,
"Please help me, Lord Jesus."

You pass judgment on society,
justice is your duty,
your intentions are evil,
but they are worse when your moody.

There is no such thing as fair to you,
only you against the rest,
results are commanded by your words,
which is usually death.

You can physically abuse and harm me,
by ripping, tearing, or burning my skin,
I will stand before you and smile,
for I will hide the pain within.

Five Moments of Beauty
Jamie Lee Jan 2015
Oh, what I wouldn't give,
just to give you a piece of my life.

I would give up knowing my way,
for you to see how the sun brightens the day.
How the light can bring warmth and make everything feel okay.

I would give up my certainty in each step,
for you to see the beauty in the mountain tips.
Feeding you life like a cup of coffee, with each slow sip.

I would give up my independence,
for you to see the faces of your grandchildren for the first time.
Letting the joy spread of no longer searching for lines.

I would trade you your place in the darkness,
so you could feel the serenity of watching the world in the way I do.
Simply peering out the window, grateful for all I've got through.

I  would give up witnessing the endless possibilities still to come,
just to give you a fraction of the happiness you deserve.
To show you how things have changed from your childhood,
and the long days spent on the reserve.

My dearest grandmother,
though you may see it as a waste,
I would give the next 40 to 60 years of my sight to you,
for five minutes of witnessing you marvel at the world.
For you to look into my eyes for the first time,
and see just how much I love you.

I would give this to you,
your happiness,
if only I could.

Brief Encounters (Acrostic)

Distinguished by endearments,
a young man is on the rise.

Exploring the lands' curves,
he peers out behind blue eyes.

Venturing along his path,
his inner light shines intensely.

Observation has revealed,
he will give to others immensely.

Noticed by many, for there are,
so few that remain.
For a new friend; Devon.

Concious
Jamie Lee Mar 2014
Tick....tick....tick.
Low clouds are scattered, amongst the mountain tops.
The patches of grey, drifting swiftly through the valley.
As the sky sweats lightly, the day carries on.


Tick...tick...tick.
Through the clear panes of glass, there is everything.
Untold stories await, to be found on hidden paths.
The secret to her life, remains undiscovered.


Tick..tick..tick.
Pondering, her thoughts fill the emptiness in the room.
Comforted by the space, although it is her mental cage.
Absently peering out, as sweat becomes tears.


Tick.Tick.Tick.
All that exists, now blurred beneath the cold weight.
Confined within her anxiety, she has finally resigned.
The facts of time untouched, as it passes slowly.


Tick!Tick!Tick!
The uncompromising stress, forces through barriers.
A voice in all, that manipulates her feelings.
Time continues to pass, while nothing happens.


TICK!! TOCK!! TICK!! TOCK!!*
Too many opportunities wasted, in a quick beat.
This heavy toll, feeds from the constant brooding.
Actions must be taken, for control of her life.

No More
Jamie Lee Mar 2014
Where do you turn when you are lost,
and the world continues moving past you?
The faces are blurs, as colours swim around you.
Drowning in the chaos, you are alone.
Thrashed around by the current that carries you.

This sea of madness seems endless.
There is no ground on which you can catch your breath.
No sight to give you serenity.
In this dark blue, you are alone.

As strength fails you, you are at the disposal of your
weakness; flesh and muscle.
You hear only the screams of desperation,
and the cry for survival.
Knowing that soon, you will slip beneath the surface.

The sparks of life you witness around you,
are distracting only for the second.
While your heart has been warmed in that moment,
you know that hope has passed for you.

Despair seems like sunshine compared to the darkness,
that surrounds and swallows your soul.

As your weight brings you down,
you feel the weight of the world lessen.
Although the pressure increases,
while you descend further into the depths of this darkness,
and the light remains out of reach,
you can find peace in certainty.

The stress of wondering disappears.
Taking the voices with it.
The ones filling your thoughts with absurdities and nonsense,
of having a place in this world.
Of making a difference.

You know where your fate lye's;
in the depths of darkness.

Controlled
Jamie Lee Mar 2014
Our fears restrain each of us,
all the while, being driven by them.
We desperately strive to overcome,
this worlds capacity for mayhem.

Without the hold of fear,
our possibilities are endless.
If we broke free of our chains,
power is what we would possess.

A power full of dangers,
with no fear of a consequence.
Filling this plagued earth,
with so little consonance.

If my fear should dissipate,
the evil inside will break free.
Destroying all that's in my life,
including the person I call me.

This pain that has been written,
in so many colours of ink.
Would be unleashed to reign,
severing my humanity, my link.

Without the fear of pain,
I could become a monster.
I could indulge in the suffering,
I could become a conqueror.


If the fear should dissipate,
the love hidden would shine.
Bringing out the happiness,
that is buried deep inside.

On the surface I pretend, I try,
to feel that innocence again.
Where everything is a wonder,
and everyone is your friend.

Without the fear of pain,
I would give my love to all.
I would make everyone happy,
I would stand up tall.


What would you do if you weren't afraid, you ask?**

I would love myself and this world. I would make this world a place that everyone wanted to be in. I would be the strength that so many lack, and the voice that has been taken from so many.
My intentions were to write a happier poem about overcoming what we are afraid of, and well, it seems that I am feeling dark today, sorry.

Distinction
Jamie Lee Mar 2014
I repeatedly imagine,
the day we meet again.
Will I approach you as foe,
or as an old friend?

I am still hurt by you,
yet a part of me doesn't care.
With time I understand,
of past reality, I am aware.

We were full of lust,
it was nothing more.
Our passion was strong,
of that I'm sure.

In my thoughts, I am clear,
it is not you that I desire.
I only wish to feel alive,
from the heat of that fire.

Hidden Binds
Jamie Lee Jan 2014
Each time I see it,
I can't help but wonder,
How long I will continue,
To hold this deep under.

I fear it may slip out,
Resulting in a fight again,
I try to overcome this;
My distrust of all men.

But every time I check,
Seeing her name once more,
My heart breaks further,
Making way to the core.

Flooded by painful thoughts,
I am asking, why her?
You have moved on in life,
but your heart seems unsure.

She was your longest love,
So much time you spent,
Things changed in your life,
And with that, your love went.

Though it didn't work,
Your heart still questions,
Or at least I feel it,
But dare not mention.

You would give blame to me,
Saying that I am insecure,
Although I certainly am,
It can't be me, of this I'm sure.

You won't ever admit to me,
That you still think of her,
My life is filled with ruin,
Everything has become obscure.

I push onward regardless,
hoping it's just a phase,
All the while trapped here,
In this awful mental maze.

I pray I am wrong;
you look because your curious,
But am I lying to myself,
Slowly becoming delirious?

Crumbling
Jamie Lee Jan 2014
With each word, I fall deeper
into this emptiness called life.
With each breathe, I suffocate,
from all that has crowded inside.

Tired long ago, yet I still stand
centered in this maddening cycle.
Broken down, this strength fades
hurt by the growing void of love.

My warnings to you have failed,
persistence, resulting in your mistake.
My weakness for love, and hope
for it in my life was mine.

I thought I had found my partner,
who will help me see this through.
Instead, I feel I have a roommate
my love, this has become you.

I could not regret the memories,
you have given me so much.
Though I do wish I was whole,
so you don't drown with me.

Silenced by fears, I can't speak
to reveal how apart we are.
My love for you remains, only now
accompanied by the pain you bring.

I have lost my only friend here,
drifting away as a distant lover.
Your absence makes me push further,
leaving me little hope in darkness.

I tell no one, as I am all alone,
I cry for every bit of me left, as
I know where this path will end.
I am losing myself once again.

A Timeless Battle
Jamie Lee Nov 2013
In the greens that brought warmth,
only the white cold remains to decorate.
Stirring from behind the window pane,
sits a woman pondering her fate.

Peering out above the world absently,
she falls into the depths of thought.
Pleading to nothing but the emptiness,
she cries for all she has fought.

It seems as though her war is endless,
being blinded by each victorious battle.
Happiness seeps further away each time,
leaving her to a maddening prattle.

Hope, begins to feel foolish to her,
yet she holds on tightly to the flame.
Even in nothing, she believes something-
that all of this must change.

Today
Jamie Lee Nov 2013
My eyes have opened,
to find that a new day is in motion.
As I roll out of comfort,
I am pulled abruptly into a state of anger-
all the result of a notification.

As sudden as sleep came the night before,
I am surging with adrenaline.
In record time,
I am awake and prepared.

Prepared for the moment that has been capturing my thoughts.

The time is now, but not as planned.
Still, it will do.

I venture my course, making way to my destination.
I am ready.
It is now or never.

Anticipation ceases as this satisfactory moment approaches,
now that I have arrived.

As I seek out the source of this nonsense,
with intent to unleash my anger,
I am quickly disappointed.
The source is not available.

Desperate for my relief, I am determined to find an outlet.
Moving down the chain- the notifier will do.

Finally, my moment is here.

She initiates the conversation,
to which I respond with silence.
My first expression of my dissatisfaction towards them.

She offers an opening and I become rude.
Immediately demanding an answer to this absurdity.
As I allow myself to be taken by the heat inside,
she becomes fearful and begins taking my moment from me.

She is ending the conversation,
though I have not said all that I have been waiting for.

This is wrong.
This is not my moment.
This was not the plan.
It was suppose to be smooth and gratifying.


Yet,
it was unexpected and displeasing.

All that time spent patiently waiting, only to have my moment stolen again by the same thieves.


Like before, I am left with nothing.
Nothing but emotions and a full plate to worry about.
This poem is quite different from my usual style. Not even sure what I have written is considered a style, however, it is suitable to my needs of expression at the moment.

Layers
Jamie Lee Sep 2013
Amidst the luscious valley,
covered in varying greens,
sits a desperate soul,
absorbing the beautiful scene.

Outlined by the mountains,
this ivory tower seems small,
yet, like most things-from outside,
you simply don't see it all.

The lonely heart that beats,
does so, with furious hope,
for these whispering voices,
make it impossible to cope.

Bearing the depths of need,
leaves an invisible scar,
through the heart of lies,
I can only see so far.

Like the clouds of winter,
judgement is thick and hazy,
even submerged in beauty,
one can still go crazy.

The power of love is,
a curse from which I suffer,
withheld is the extent of yours,
therefore making it rougher.
This is part 1 of a 3 round challenge I am taking part of on another poetry site. The goal was to use one or more prompts. I chose 4 of the 15, and they are; "the lonely heart/whispering voices/the heart of lies/the power of love"

My Morning Friend
Jamie Lee Sep 2013
The entrance is wide and clear,
leading to a massive space.
I begin to walk quickly through,
craving my daily sweet taste.

Before me, are bright lights,
displaying words and colours.
Behind me, are more people,
coming one after another.

As I approach the counter,
I am greeted like a friend.
This is my second home,
so let's not pretend.

Though different faces I see,
they are all very great.
That time has come again,
I'm here for another date.

I tell them what I want,
then I wait my turn.
If they don't know already,
soon they will learn.

My name is then called,
so I grab my drink.
Finally, with my coffee,
I can wake up and think.

My Soldier
Jamie Lee Sep 2013
In days of young and past,
he shone bright with his smile.
In those times, he knew not,
of what was to come in a while.

He was happy and curious,
as all young children are.
Though the extent of that,
followed with a permanent scar.

Being the youngest of five,
left a lot to live up to.
Each of us would pick on him,
less and less as he grew.

Still, the teasing remained,
from society and his peers.
So many long nights spent,
cold and alone, in tears.

He lives with a burden,
and grew up in neglect.
But if you were to meet him,
he's one you wouldn't forget.

He has accepted himself,
loving the person he is.
I know that he can see,
that he's one of life's gifts.

He has put aside his shame,
and embraces his style.
This tried soldier of mine,
has come many weary miles.

He has faced many challenges,
standing strong and true.
My dearest little brother,
this soldier of mine, is you.

An Untold Disaster
Jamie Lee Sep 2013
Beyond the dark, empty hollows,
dismay stirs, where the storms brew.
In the cold company of isolation,
desperation barged, savagely through.

Deaf ears listen, for unheard sounds,
while a heart searches, for unspoken signs.
Heavy thoughts, break the support inside,
as familiarity sets, one more time.

Loneliness reveals, a crumbling strength,
from red eyes, flows a river of tears.
Shattered and aching, with no comfort found,
only left to face, these growing fears.

Though hope is buried, remaining still,
serenity calls softly, from depths within.
Unsuccessful with relief, in written therapy,
the mind continues to wildly spin.
I am simply suffering from "myself syndrome" and am just over-thinking things, as I always do...

In the Arms of an Angel
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Many times I have been lost,
yet you set me back onto my path,
Even though it became unsteady,
you were there to guide me as needed.

When life plays a difficult card,
your strength overcomes the challenge,
like a knight you have fought for me,
and offered the safety of your arms.

Though you have caused me pain,
I have done the same to you,
despite our fears we have shown,
that our life for each other is our life.

I would fall from the sky for you,
as your eyes replenish my soul,
for the comfort you provide,
feels as though I'm in the arms of an angel.

Reflection
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
So often I stare in your eyes,
asking the same simple question;
of why?

Why,
are you not happy with what you see?
for you have grown beautifully..

Why,
must you paint your face to look?
so many hearts you took..

Why,
is your tiny figure not enough?
you have become so tough..

Why,
must you always compare?
you've become too aware..

Why,
will you never love yourself?
a prize worthy of your own shelf..

Why,
do you choose to remain blind?
just look and you will find..

Everything that I see in you,
a beauty that is true.

Freeborn Chaos
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
The wind slices through my hair,
     like a knife through butter,

My skin embraces the feeling,
     like the warmth of a mother.

My fingers slowly graze the grass I stand upon,
     then suddenly tighten as I gasp for air.

My eyes stare blankly into the sky,
     as my lungs begin to tear.

They fill quickly with dust and small rocks,
     making it impossible to breathe.

My legs are weak and shake forcefully,
     I am summoned on to my knee's.

I willingly open my arms wide,
     accepting the future ahead of me.

As my skin disintegrates I'm released,
     my soul has finally become free.

Chaos fills my surroundings,
     with screams from the innocent.

The world is crumbling quickly,
     the situation arising causes content.

I have been absorbed into the chaos,
     I have become a fear.

I am what haunts you as you plead,
     your love to those who are dear.

You perceive this to be a disaster,
     yet to me it is a master piece of art.

The chaos will not end,
     until I have absorbed your heart.

Breaking
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
His laughter boils the blood,
that courses through each vein,
Every second that I am forced,
to listen makes me insane.

Chaos, he brings quickly about,
to the voices inside my head.
"Be nice, be calm, bear it."
"**** that, I want him dead!"

The pressure swells; rising,
soon I will lose my control-
"Just let me hit him once,
I'll only make a tiny hole!"


"No! You are better than this."
I try and try to fight it, I do-
"Only a few more days," I say,
*"Then it will all be through."
I don't actually feel this way, but there are times where people can really get on my nerves and I say mean things....

Disregarded (RANT)
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Each month we rejoiced,
gathering to celebrate life.
Each month we recognized,
our achievements and efforts.

Each month I waited,
with genuine joy for others,
Each month that passed,
brought my day closer.

The month came about,
and still I must wait.
For the one who decides,
was not present 'til late.

Days passed ever so slow,
though I remained excited.
He returned on the day,
that my break came about.

My two days passed,
I came prepared for it.
Little did I know,
it happened without me.

They took the day I waited for,
blindly away from me.
No one thought to call,
and ask me to be part.

Instead, I was disregarded,
my turn came and yet it didn't.
This morning my heart was sad,
for it would not be.

Each month at work, we celebrate all the birthdays in the month and have cake. This month it was myself and one other. The vice president decides when it happens, he chose my second day off (when we were all there today) and no one called. I was quite upset as I waited for a long time for it and never got to be a part of it. Though the Kate, in HR, made it better. She went out and bought me a piece of cake all for myself and sang happy birthday to me as we would in the staff room.

A Long Awaited Pleasure
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Every night that I lye in bed,
one single thought roams through my head,
of how I always dreamed of you,
but I never thought my dreams would come true.

When I'm with you I have no cares,
because of you my heart has been spared,
you have shown me how beautiful life can be,
you have opened the door as wide as the sea.

Every time you look in to my eyes,
I can't suppress this feeling of surprise,
you make me overwhelmed with joy,
I love the way you make me your toy.

I'm falling deeper in love as every moment passes by,
I could not be more grateful that you gave "us" a try,
who knew that my life would take me your way,
it was unexpected but I'm here to stay.

Every time you begin to softly speak,
your delicious lips make me ever so weak,
the sweet whisper of your words,
are more amazing than songs of a bird.

I knew one thing by the way you touched my heart,
from this point on you and I would never be apart,
without you I could never be complete,
I would lose myself left unable to overcome defeat.

Since I have met you it has become clear,
I am now able to look in to the face of fear,
you are what I have spent my time searching for,
you are everything I could want and even more.

Made of Glass
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
She was cursed from her day of birth,
as she entered with an inevitable disease,
all structures are brittle from the start,
but since then her pain has not eased.

Life begins in such a fragile state,
equal beginnings as we're all disadvantaged,
throughout it all only one thing matters,
do you possess the will to manage?

Time after time it happens again,
her inner solidity has been broken,
she was once held together perfectly,
and now the truth remains unspoken.

Her instructions were full of deceit,
for the healers could not possibly know,
as they protected her from further damage,
in shame her head lay low.

She was punished with anger,
from pain she could not prevent,
she wondered why she was tortured,
her life was full of discontent.

She suffered emotionally as well,
for her heart was pure,
throughout her tragedies in life,
it's known that nothing great is for sure.
** I was born with a calcium deficiency and have suffered through a total of 9 broken bones throughout my life - and counting lol. **

With A Piece Of You
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Each day my heart grew,
with the love I feel for you,
life has never been the same,
since you've introduced your name.

You make me feel coy,
and fill everyday with joy,
I never knew life to be great,
but meeting you was merely fate.

You turn simple into exciting,
you're a reason to keep fighting,
the touch of you is like magic,
you make life ecstatic.

I am pleasured by your kiss,
and embrace your tenderness,
I cherish the seduction of your lips,
I treasure our bliss.

Through the narrow black hole to my soul,
there lies the truth behind these eyes.
A perspective that is unique from all the rest,
secure within my sacred chambers.

In each delicate heart of a soul,
the pain and joys are stored away.
Feelings that exist though not spoken of,
remain personal between one's self.

A secret of your own; one nobody knows,
can lead to agony and misery if untold.
Souls that cannot be as they are,
suffer from the torture they endure.

Each soul carries a sacred chamber,
of which they know the absolute truth.
Only the souls who cannot breathe,
hold a heart full of secrets.

My soul is tortured, for my heart is full,
no resolution has appeared to me.
Though I am granted the knowledge,
my life with you could not be.

Attempts have occurred more than once,
and still we have not succeeded.
The pain of this is stored inside,
buried as those are the facts of life.

As the realization slowly seeps into the mind,
my heart will ache in mourning.
The loss of your soul, pairing with mine,
is the pain I will carry with me to my grave.

My love for you will always exist,
though I may not be permitted, to love you as I did .
I will cherish your memories to live on in my heart,
safely kept so they won't perish, in my sacred chambers.

Solidity
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Wandering aimlessly among the unknown
Imprisoned within my mind,
Motions carried upon shores full of stone
A place to which my soul is confined,
Darkness lingers high above in the sky
Crisp silence fills the air,
Isolation brings a tear to my eye,
There is no pain that can compare.

The wind begins to blow through the trees,
As mother nature covers the land,
Through the air travels a sweet breeze,
While water covers the shores of sand.
Large rocks remain unmoved,
Soon I will follow to do the same,
My mental condition has not improved,
Still, I carry on without shame.

Near the other side of this place,
I have discovered a form of human life,
People carry about with a noticeable grace,
While others carry about in strife.
A pleasant sight this area has become,
Creating a peace like no other,
To these strong vibes I succumb,
But a dream, this could be another.

Lost Thoughts
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Seven months time has passed,
Since I last laid eyes on you,
you're embedded in my thoughts,
as a man that I once knew.

I often drift into wonder,
regarding the many paths in life,
never to evade, but evoke,
the memories of our shared night.

Despite the walls built for protection,
you managed to slide through,
you left me torn between regret,
as I tend to genuinely miss you.

I never thought we would be summed,
from an equation in our lives,
I never comprehended the possibility,
of you staring into my eyes.

Though unexpected, it was pleasant,
catching a glimpse inside of you,
for an understanding was gained,
you live through a heart that's true.

The realization does not exist,
of your importance to my heart,
nor will you ever understand,
for our lives changed apart.

Our Storm
Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Day by day we continued on,
even though something was wrong,
acting like it did not exist,
yet now my heart cannot resist.

I must speak the truth,
let our memories show the proof,
my heart has strayed,
but I swear you were not played.

I kept my word as I said,
I never laid in another man's bed,
but I have come to realize,
that my life is full of lies.

It is not you that I desire,
and though I hate to be a liar,
You are not my only love,
there is something else I think of.

I cannot seem to explain myself,
cause it is not just someone else,
I now feel differently for you,
but not the way that I use to.

We are different and we knew it,
but we just do not fit,
now I have to continue on,
this road of mine that is long.

You think it is easy for me,
cause I did it more times than three,
but you do not know how I feel,
I cannot believe this is all real.

Do not let this be your end,
you have managed as just friends,
now I must let you go,
yet my pain you will never know.

Jamie Lee Aug 2013
Though your words are sung,
And my words are spoken,
It can still be heard in our voices,
That our hearts were once broken.

Through all of this pain,
We seem to search for one thing,
Someone who can understand,
How much we are suffering.

Like the moon shining on the water,
We reflect our pain inside,
Though it is hard to face,
It is not something we try to hide.

As we embrace our experiences,
Of our hurt, pain and sorrow,
Through your words emotionally sung,
We look forward to tomorrow.

The simplicity of relating,
Amazes my mind to no end,
A therapeutic release,
Of not having to pretend.

Thus, I give my thanks to you,
not only for being true,
but for your beauty and grace,
along with the smile on your face.
