A Reply To Intact
Life span expires around 100
That final flash behind the brain dies fast —
If I could choose, I’d leave this fleeting land
Beside the man I love, my lifelong friend.
Yet fate is cruel; now I must live on,
As if the one I love has gone away,
Learning how to bear the restless storm,
From someone long lost in my

Intact
Jewels rolled down your shirt—
for a moment, your shoulder turned to rain.
We lifted our eyes to that infinite blue
and just as swiftly, twilight fell again:
another star kindled beyond the sky’s edge.
I’d fold a thousand cranes for you,
or chase a million scattered stars.
What fate is this, where light refuses to dim?
Where debts of love lie quietly

Contentment
I had overeaten.
So I reached inside myself
And pulled up whatever could be pulled up
From strength that I could muster up
I labored long and hard
And eventually brought forth
Snow capped mountains
And sky scrapers dignified by the rays of the sun
And the tallest pines with cones intact
And stars draped with clouds, silver lined
And song birds with half-sung melodies

Keep Yourself Intact
Keep your plans quiet
Move silently
Daze them success.
Keep your heads up
If your in truth
Never wary.
Keep principle
Intact and free
Fight for your right.
Keep mind healthy
From toxic waste
Defeat blackness.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can't hurt me so let's draw a truce lock arms and go dancing under this year's 1st full moon. Giving all praise to my creator while you give praise to his creation.Yes! Once I was you drenched in black mind loss and blue. So blue Lucifer

Perfectly intact
I plead insanity.
By now I should have learned.
Happiness is not for me.
I'm here to get burned.
It's so melodic.
My heart drums a sullen beat.
A tempo so despotic.
Victory song of self defeat.
I'm Insufferable.
Thus should suffer being weak.
Designed irreparable.
Another fix is all I seek.
It's narcotic.
Now it wears my skin.
Discordant harmonic.
Bound to kill me from within.
I fill the

Discovered Seashells - More Or Less Intact
Discovered Seashells
(More or Less Intact)
More like seashells on beaches, encounters with love
may enchant, disappoint us, but offer assurance.
Love blossoms through chemistry though the first art
(not the artist) is sand now and work of new life forms
make sandbanks a tapestry, literal canvas,
a wall to delight both the staid and the wild.
May each husk (I let go

Innocence Is Still Intact
INNOCENCE IS STILL INTACT
Innocence is still intact,-
no matter how bad this life attack me,
at night in my cold darken room
where it is I cry,
I would wrap my self in blankets
where I felt safe,-
where I kept my faith
and I would pray….for this nightmare to go away.
I know I am strong enough
to fight this agony,-
Oh, how the

Keep Each Fact Intact
Keep Each Fact Intact
What we really want to do with each fact,
Will have been for them to remain intact;
Handle with care,
And to be aware;
About them appropriate people contact.

Impact On Brain No Longer Intact
Impact On Brain No Longer Intact
After our brains had been racked and racked,
Again we would try to determine total impact;
Were shrewd;
Really rude;
We heard news and no longer remained intact.

Base Camp Still Intact
Even in old age I still find,
I have more questions than answers.
Like when I would not even be considered for Father of the year,
How have our three children flourished,
And been witnessed to be happy on occasions?
Could it be that Base Camp has kept it's original address,
And the welcome mat can be seen from space.

What should happen when we subtract,
From what was total at least one fact,
Did disappear;
No longer here;
We would now no longer remain intact.

Act Enact Then Remain Intact
Act Enact Then Remain Intact
Instead of each act distract and retract;
We should let each act to remain intact,
In cute clover,
Do read over,
After each act we were allowed to inact.
Jim Horn
PS. As a matter of fact instead of us
loosing a lot of track when we wanted
to bring back.
