Recalling the Essence of You
~~Remembering you~~
Remembering you, is a most simple task!It's in the rainbowed
bubbles of your arms, I that do bask!
No, absolutely, no, not once in a great while!
But in each splendid hour, yes, then, yes, I can!
I can, in the glimmer of our of past eyes, those are soft smiles.
I cannot forget how sweetly you read oe sung to me.
Nay, how blessed I was when you, in sweet memory, I clearly sing of thee!
Romantic, soft, ivory gardenia petals, bedecked my knees.
As we stared, at the still silvered moonlit, West Coast's fog, and the whispering
waves of the sea.
Supersonic slideshows of us, click softly, in my mind!
And nightlife, so mystically electric, which fluorescently flashes rainbow sounds, forevermore, fog-blessed and kind
You, forever smiles, in my mind?
~!.With fondest memorie of my late husband ~

Woe am I to whom your words have torn bits
Out from my heart only to smooth, console
Until I have again untangled wits.
Needful, I beg you patch this jagged hole
Drilled into my heart by your darkened soul.

When Rico said, Thirty days will go by
and I’ll be forgotten after I die
I knew what I had to do
I’ll make a book for you
At least the cover will catch your eye
I decided to do this in case he croaks
It's a chapbook with his incredible jokes
Double-entendres filled with sex
At Kinko's-AKA-Fed-Ex
Obsessed with Vladimir's power, a hoax
Thousands of words it cost me some chen
Kinko’s gets it—they always have been
Lucky for Rico Leffanta
I have chosen the right fonta
At my source where they make things happen
Mana'o wau e ola mau 'oe
translation: I hope you live forever!

You are so fine,
I wish you were mine
And being a christian, I know you're not after fornication
Your eyes, speak of deep contemplation
I believe, you value of love, fidelity, & laughter
The same things, I'm after
So, why don't we just tie the knot
'Cause I love you, alot

We each seek for solace
Amidst a port in a storm
Some insist to even curse
The very day they were actually born
Others listen in silence amidst the violence
Sought a peace from two different worlds
One soul soars while the other one burns
Each of us wanders as nomads
Life is made up with little moments
We remember are past but forget the future
Singing sounds to the deepest melody of are hearts
Light the fire to ignite the flame to start
To what we have been waiting for
Let pure love be the duration of our lives
Life is built on snap shot moments
Look at nature through solace
Each season of life has a new perspective
Up through the fonal curtain oe even beyond

She was such a winner
Did she fight for her life.?
Think twice,was everything alright?
She was such a winner
Every hill climbed.
Crossed every line.
Never waited on time.
She'd get in, park and stay.
No one owned a parking space.
Space could never be owned,
Just filled.!
Of man nor woman.
Was she afraid.
She was only loyal to winning.
AND GETTING IT DONE!

Home is where the heart is, they say,
Overseas or in our own native land
Mansion be it or a dilapidated hovel
Elysian Fields surrounded or a desert;
So long as the heart is in the right place
Woe without, and sorrow set far afield
Enjoying the God-given life together
East, where the sun rises, or to the west
Together, as one, where love thrives;
Home then is where you set your camp
Over a rolling meadow or under a tree
Much with trust in the nature of God
Ever together with the one you nest.

Lieg
Herhaaldelik en gereeld soos net in 7de laan
Was geheimnisse en liegstories die haat wat uit jou gaan.
Ek natuurlik, onderskei, kon binne in my voel
Oortuigend jou nie glo nie, soos water van my rug afspoel.
Vermydelik soos ‘n kindjie wat die rusies net wou keer
Het ek my hart se oe gesluit vir dit wat sou gebeur.
Indien die leun ontbloot sou word – ek jou sou konfronteer
Beskerm jy jou weergawe, al maak dit ander seer.
Die grootste waarheid was dat jy nie meer kon lieg.
Wat ek in jou belê het, het jy vertrap, bespuug!
Toe ek besluit ek kon nie meer, en ek myself onttrek
Ontmasker jy jou broeisel - tesame met jou gek!
In minder as ‘n week of twee het jy my plek gevul
Met meer as een of twee, dis duidelik jy’t gekul.
As jy so vinnig aanbeweeg en my nie eers wou sê;
Wil ek net een ding van jou weet: - Het jy my ooit al lief gehê?

The above is the basis for the following poem. I have read the book Crazy Christians and completed the course regarding it. Jim Horn
Crazy in Love With the Lord
Finally after having worn yourself thin
From always sinning again and again
Bothering people about problems you face
Could be about sex, creed, religion or race.
Things according to popular belief may be contrary
And also could be quite clearly out of the ordinary
But whatever it is or was in God should believe
Instead of being sad, belly aching or to grieve.
So after you have committed so much sinning
What you will need is a bright, new beginning
Always knowing that God in your life is there
And wherever you have to go in spirit everywhere.
Yes, that is me myself crazy in love with the Lord
Determined to make sure my ship will be safely moored
I thank God and am continually, truthfully confessing
As in my life I shall count each and every blessing.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
