The crumbling of Night by the breaking of Day
Q. Lenise Lee
Awaken and be nourished, by the morning

Me, doing a terrible job at lyricism
Awaken and be nourished, by the morning
Q. Lenise Lee
I saw dawn reaching out. I heard the wind call my True Name. Sky smiled. Welcome, they whispered as one. I opened my thoughts, and felt youth, and peace and home.
Q. Lenise Lee
Keep Rising. Moving. Becoming. No matter the obstacle. In spite of every challenge. Rise + Smile + Succeed
Q. Lenise Lee
Here comes the Dawn
Full of hope and triumph
Q. Lenise Lee
I let go of these things. And look toward the Infinite Dawn
Q. Lenise Lee
Some places call to us
Some moments sing our name
Q. Lenise Lee
I capture the new light rising,
take its essence within me,
moving and flowing from that embrace,
throughout the day

Q. Lenise Lee
Awakening
I needed to experience
The All
Wandering among stars,
hot summer,
late twilight.
Lost within
The chaos
Prayer, solitide
Roaming, heathen
Calling, seeking
divine powers
following trails,
seeking One.
Finally,
The Beacon
tiny diamond, in the night
Still there, ever hunting
restless, roaming
the call of the wild sounds
There is no answer back
Toward light, instead
Reflection,
Needed to
wander after the dusk.
Wanted to
scatter from the dawn.
Understand
WhyHowWhoWhat
Quick breath, lost thought, frenzied mind, untamed spirit
Am i.
I am.
Bound. Bonded.
Untethered. Freed.
Draw back
Reclaim
Awaken
Waiting. Wanting.
No longer willing
to submit
to fallen, sullen abandon
Hair out. Wild. Free.
Antenna up. Open, angled,
toward the cosmos
Today. I let go.
Surrender to the ether.

Yet

I am still
wife, queen
calling to

For moments
For touch
For love
For companionship,
memories will not fade,
bonds will not bend,
destiny will not be held.
Show no fear
Finding Glory is not an easy task.
In truth, it is not a task in the strict sense of the word.
It is a journey, more like an experience,
overflowing with journeys within journeys.
I think a blessed soul, who is truly free, will have the opportunity
to experience many diverse lives and lifestyles
all at once.
They are within a flux of constant and grand evolution.
They are always experiencing the weight, the wonder, the phenomenon, the illumination
of Glory.
The Glow will be undeniable.
The Energy they attract immeasurable.
They will experience as much of Glory as can be understood and internalized within the limits of the fold of the experience we know as
Humanity.
The greatest of these travelers will realize this truth,
Some immediately,
Others over the course of an exciting, interesting, and unusual lifespan,
and will come to embrace this gift and this majesty.
Many are called, few are chosen.
And with that, I realize
Fear and the fear of myself,
My grand potential and purpose within Glory,
are my greatest mountains, my most formidable foes, my most intense struggles.
The solution is simple.
I must show no Fear.
I must only live in Light, Truth, Love.
These are the offspring of Glory, and
The promise that I keep, the secret that I guard, constantly
Q. Lenise Lee (forever rose, fleur-de-lis)
I rise early
Because creation is within me, and I am part of creation.
My spirit is lifted with the sun, and calmed with the cresting of the moon.
I am. Part of movement of essence that binds all life as one, pulsing being.
I rise early, so that I may set my thoughts on course.
Heal. Mend. Sow. Illumunate.
What is to come.
I do not rise alone.
I am. With the one, the all, the source that ebbs and flows within, without, over, under, through.
I rise early, to feel the power moving my breath with purpose.
Peace. Love. Laughter.
To accept, to bond, to share.
I rise early to set paths of vibrant currents, ever forward, ever onward. Homeward, bound.

Imagine
I imagine you holding me
I imagine you wrapping me in a tender embrace
I imagine your lips, whispering against my ear
I imagine you pulling me close, squeezing me tight
I imagine you wiping away all my tears, dispelling all my fears
I imagine your mouth, pressed against mine..time fades away
I imagine you and I, never again apart
I imagine you tending to my heart
I imagine you giving me the greatest gift, to feel what love is really like
I..imagine..You

the end
I will think of him no more
Except
As a passing thought
A fading memory
Of what once was
What was never to be
*iamlenise*
Answering the Call
i have dreamed dreams
of moons rising
of suns setting
of worlds spinning, in reverse
around castles and mountains, laid waste
echoing cries
of gods and men, long-forgotten
heroes fallen
princes reborn
hearts pierced, yearning
rose petals scattered, waiting
to become whole
to sing
to surge
to soar
to touch the gates
of highest heaven
once more..

Normalcy
I was.won’t.never.ever.will be
Needing everyone’s approval.
Ordinary. Simple. The Same.
Running with the pack.
Made to live an in-style life.
Always on the go.
Leaning on popular opinion.

Haunted
Tell me how to forget.
Tell me how to let go.
To make this go away.
Ease this burden.
Please tell me how to release this breath,
I have been holding deep within
For so long.
Frozen in time,
Deprived of air.
Tell me how much I need
To drown myself
In hopes
In dreams
In sorrows…
Endless words…
Before I can finally be free
Of this puzzling memory.
Just once.
Just this once…
Please…
Step out of my thoughts,
Fill this voided space
In the caverns of my heart —
Dispelling the darkness
–
–
go or stay
stand or run
dream forever or be irrevocably awake
see all in one surreal, aching flash or shut out everything
cast a shadow or illuminate every creeping crevice
follow the path of the sun or become enchanted by the lullaby of the moon
keep quiet or shout, until the words echo back
ringing my ears
tossing off the cloak of despair
healing the blind eye
cleansing the marred heart
awakening the senses
sharpening the mind
preparing the soul
taking the breath
freeing the body
releasing the full force of destiny
–
–
Have I imagined all this, or
Have I just opened the door to reality
–
–
I know what I want to do
So why don’t I ever have the strength to do it
I feel the surge of infinite nature
The essence of a thousand glimmering suns
Racing through my veins
Yet the echo announces
Not yet
Steady yourself
Calm the storm
Lower the candle flame
The night is darker than it seems
Hide yourself behind me
Cloak yourself in the countenance of my wings
Shield yourself beneath my thoughts
Not because I despise your light
Because I want to protect it
Nurture it
Enhance it
Make it untouchable
From the reach of probing fingers
Which seek to extinguish it for always…
i can’t stop
thinking about the future. hoping to forget the past. struggling through the now.
no matter what. my heart beats strong. my spirit pulses free. my mind journeys beyond the moment.
a runner. waiting for the perfect race. counting down the seconds. taking the pose. head bowed. knees arched. fingers pressed into the earth.
ready?
set?
the world crawls to an aching stillness.
all of creation fixes into perfect silence.
the pop hits the air
stay the course
keep focused
pound the dirt until every limb burns
win.
there is no other choice
i can’t stop
until i touch the void
step across the finish
bring down the boundaries
break the binds
see the eternal light
i am
victorious.

Seven lines of sorrow
I don’t understand why I can’t let go
I don’t understand why I continually lay this trap for myself
..To be loved..is all I have ever wanted..yet heartache and misery are what I find..
Why must I give my love to those who cannot spare me more than a fleeting moment..
..And those who love me unconditionally..I use to my own ends..
What is this great romance..that makes us weep with joy..and cry out in agony
…What is this mystery we call…love…
all around me
The Heart That Trembles
standing so far away
waiting for your eyes to see
but only a blank stare pierces me
please..don’t let the wall raised around my soul fail..me
please..don’t let me fall any deeper under the spell that is..you
my lips quiver
my pen drops
another love letter you’ll never read
another piece of myself i’ll never send
if only you knew how i silently call out to you
my heart trembles
steeling myself against your icy touch
awaiting a warm kiss i will never feel
fighting, for one more pulse of life
crying, for one last chance at love

To Do List
Write
Write
Write til my fingers cramp
Write about everything
til the words live on their own
til I can feel my heart beat again
til the possibilities don’t scare me
til the veil is lifted
twilight gone
sun beams break free
.
Write
til I find what I’m looking for
til I understand what I’m living for
.
.
.
Just Write.
til I feel the kiss of forever
til I embrace what
Iam.
What..I will be.
What..I long for.
Love..so true

will i ever find you

When words just aren’t enough..
close your eyes
breathe deep
..
every heartbeat
every hope
pulses
within this
one moment
..
accept
the sweetest
embrace
taste
the perfect
kiss
..
the unbreakable bond
is sealed
..
rolling waves
of love
thundering echoes
of passion
herald the promises
of forever

what did i miss?
what word – phrase – pause – did i miss?
that would make everything – me – make sense.
pause
i’ve heard this – before – where?
why didn’t i notice – pause – then?
turn it off – pause – or turn it up?
shake off the deep – sleep – pause
or fall further?
touch – the mirror – step through?
in the end (or the beginning)
I will be, what I will be.

Remember the kiss, promises sealed in forever

Harsh winds, steer thoughts astray
But the heart always returns
to what it knows, to be
right and true

Pure
leaves bud on awakening limbs
Eternal
twilight dipped in lavender shade
Blazing
silver trails along a golden dawn
–
You, seeker
I, wanderer
You, sun
I, moon
You, love
I, in love
Always
words on a page
lives in a song
–
Let the moment wash over, like a quiet summer rain
Soar to heights, beyond the rapture
–
A touch of sunlight
grazing upon full lips
softer than a lover’s kiss
Feel
the pull
of destiny

More
You are the more I have been searching for
You are the laughter hiding in my heart,
the kisses yet to touch my lips.
Embers of love so sweetly burn
Sparks of creation pour through the rivers flowing within
I ask to feel your loving touch upon my soul
Subtle change in the wind,
gentle turning of the breeze
Immortality trapped within the mortal
awaiting the sweet songs of freedom,
the embrace of forever

A woman after your heart
I am a woman after Your Heart
Because of this, I have no fear
My life is bold yet humble
Peace is my constant companion
Trust, my triumphant joy
Love, the bond eternal
I see my brothers riding upon the clouds
Hear my sisters whispering in the winds
Feel the heartbeat of creation
Receive echoes of eternity
I am a woman after Your Heart
My soul was never my own.

Forever Here
♥
The flame in my heart flickers to renewed life
Shades of creation,
richly irradiant
answer my beacon
illuminate my spirit
Against the cloak of the cosmos,
embers of love burst forth with fiery perfection
Across limitless oceans of midnight space,
flares of desire spiral into eternity
Ever onward
Thoughts of You
Thoughts of you
keep my pen poised
to narrate a literary symphony
on pages in the eternal notebook
clutched close to my heart
¨
Thoughts of you
move my soul
toward heavenly heights
inspire my lips to confess
whispered words of love
stir memories of a last embrace
gentle kisses
softer than the streak of a teardrop
cascading down a warm cheek
¨
Thoughts of you
revive hope
dispel doubt
bring me to life, once more..LL♥

Oracle
Shimmering eyes flutter open, as a golden dawn caresses golden skin
Arising mightier than the phoenix
Heartbeat burning brighter than the pulsing orbs of the Pleiades
Curious infatuation draws a timid soul..ever onward..
Across sparkling moonbeams swimming over the midnight ocean
Lifted upon the icy tail of a comet surnamed joy
Passing the eternal etching of Perseus, guarding Andromeda with endless, vigilant devotion
Pausing to admire the silvery sketch of Theseus, embracing Phaedra for all time
Foretelling hope
Heralding peace
Unbound love
Ever onward, beyond the limits of infinite twilight
Journeying toward the spiraling edge of a spinning milky way
I open my eyes for the very first time, as the golden dawn caresses my golden skin..LL♥

Twilight dream
Under blinking stars
beneath the twilight sky
we shared a chance meeting
you and I
Shy smiles passed
between strolling strangers
Hopeful eyes wondering
had fate finally been kind
Seeking souls
silently praying
destiny would bind them
within this moment
forever
Awkward hello’s
fumbled greetings
mark the beginning
of cherished friendship
Secret dreams shared
Suddenly
no longer fearful
to believe
love can be true
even at first sight
Pulses quicken
at thoughts
of how kisses
would taste
upon nervous lips
Goodnight
yet not for always
Under blinking stars
beneath the twilight sky
we shared a chance meeting
you and I
The sacred moment
when two hearts beat
again
as one..
LL♥

Duality
never again
restlessly isolated, safe from love’s cruel folly…
living in chilly seclusion, dying for a warm touch
climbing the peak of abysmal despair, falling into an embrace of luminous peace
utterly weak from reaching, infinitely strong by letting go
always giving too much of self, never sharing nearly enough of me
heartbeat pushed toward fading, tender caresses mend a wounded pulse
…anxiously anticipating being lured out, overpowered by devastating delights
once more

Flame
Like a moth drawn to a sizzling flame…Can I ever be free of him?…Unquenchable allure…in those deceptive promises of forever…What is it about you…that refuses to release me…from the spell of roguish blue eyes and soft rosy pink lips…that I want to forget…to taste in a spiraling kiss…all in the same breath…that tempt me continually as they drip with greedy need for my gentle curves…hunger for my butterscotch skin…Escape…then recapture…a seemingly endless cycle of wanting you desperately…running from your dangerous charm…circling round to wanting you with a renewed, forbidden passion…again…Let me go…take me back…Forgetting you…calling you close once more…Too much…Its always too much when our lives collide together in a blinding, infernal spark…secrets confessions from fingertips…so no one else will hear our weakness…I love you…I hate you…I love you more, he says…two hearts confessing undeniable obsession with our intoxicating, erotic…strangely blissful…misery…loves company…Never read this…Never see these words…Never know how much I crave you…to touch your consuming flame…to feel the sting of wretched desire…one last time…Like a curious, timid moth drawn to an inferno of dripping wet delights…Let me go, I whimper…take me back, he whispers…Love you…hate me…

Falling
Was I wrong to trust you completely?
Joy is quickly fading
dimming into a faint whisper…almost gone
Was I wrong to abandon my dreams in pursuit of you?
Promises of forever dwindling
so far out of reach now…nearly invisible
Was I wrong to think I would possess your heart like no other before me?
Drained of sparks of hope
waiting for an embrace…never to arrive
Was I wrong to believe you to be my truest love?
If so, tell me please
No more blowing in a dry, aimless wind
slowly
coming
undone

The In Between (version two)
In between
Where words will not come
Where shadows roam near
Where warmth of light is a dwindling, faint memory
After I touched the sky
After I crashed below
After I realized there is nowhere else for my thoughts to flow, only here
In between I had to undress, to discard who I once was
I am the Dreamer
The flame in my heart is flickering to renewed life
Across limitless oceans of midnight space, flares of desire spiral into eternity
Ever onward
Shades of creation, richly irradiant, answer my beacon, illuminate my spirit
Forever Here
