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 unpaid?
I see it now—our severed threads unspun,
yet feel thee near; we were never that far.
My tears have blurred the Milky Way.
Still—one day,
we’ll trace each other’s shadow back.
Though this life falls grain by grain,
the wheel turns gently, again and again.
From that first point where our hearts once spun—
may love, unspoken, return
before it’s named.
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 resting on their beaks
And butterflies with awe-inspiring wings, extended and poised for flight
And rainbows that captured the very essence of past promises.
Exhilarated and exhausted, I wept
Not due to any emptiness or lack
But due to the incredible, unspeakable beauty of the lone rose
That remained anchored to my innermost parts.
I was spent but at peace
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 said it's time to meet you. Day to night, Night to day oh my gosh! Morning dew seeped through this smoke-filled blacked out room,eyes aflame feeling gloom so much mind
dragging affliction. Ouch! No jerking,
Soul intact,
My love for God won't be doomed
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 interim.
Like a space that isn't there.
Shows my delirium.
You're not here because you care.
I gave too much.
Despite being empty.
Life goes as such.
Live to thrive on the futility.
According to Fact Remain intact
will remain intact
was cognizant of the fact

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 rush of a cold crying wind
would soak me down in tears,-
that brought on the fears,
that lasted for years,
Where all my strength begins to fail me.
When I saw those hollow eyes staring back at me
where shallow lies,-
in those painful times,
as this darkness breed on the mind,
where all I hear all those cries.
Oh, my dear God what is happening to me
Why, do I keep having these bad nightmares?
But when I awake, I found myself in lack of faith
because Dark Angel was standing before me.

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.
James Horn
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.
Jim Horn
Subtract Fact and No Longer Intact
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.
Jim Horn
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.

Artifact Not Intact
Trump is another American artifact,
Not having brains remaining intact;
Small tiny speck,
On top of neck;
Any intelligence at all always lacked.
Jim Horn
A duty or responsibility requires someone to do something.
An action is both required and behoved.
Keep Families Together and Intact
From families children should not be removed;
And by Trump this should have been behooved,
Take care of;
Show his love,
If he ever really wants things to be improved.
