A Billion Billion Flowers

I wish I could give you a flower
One for every time I thought of you
Another for every time I loved you
And another for every time I wanted to kiss you
The problem is that I have loved you for so long
And loved you so strongly
The universe does not have that many flowers 
So just know that

Premium MemberA billion Dollar Soul

A billion can buy a bushel of silence 
hectares of prime farmland or flashy private jets 
It can buy a turd in stilettos and a pyrite hearted mistress.

A billion can buy you a secondhand spaceship
or an endless good run of wall street luck 
it can buy a bloated lip- plastic nips and butts.

With a billion

A Billion Light-Years in the Past
David J Walker
 
Star Light
Star bright
I look to you for the solution
Tonight
Are we the offspring of 
Single-cell
Are viruses invading us
In Sedulous successions
Does evolution drive intelligence 
Or does intelligence drive evolution
Star Light 
I wonder how far away you are tonight
with the solution
A billion light-years in the past?

A Billion Ponds
----------------

I came to the land of a billion ponds
where they said there would be (one day) a million more.
A billion ponds shimmered in sunsets;
lined up purposefully for my delight.

A billion birds or more perished on these ponds
and they made twilight unbearable for me,
these billion birds on the trillion million ponds.

So I went away

One In a Billion

one in a billion

you’re one in a billion
you’re very unique
a treasure to know
a diamond to seek

see with the eyes 
that came with your birth
it’s not what a magazine
tells you you’re worth

you’re one that matters
who has a great fate,
it’s your own perfect being
walking through your gate

it’s not what someone says,
that you are or that you’re not
any

Premium MemberA Billion Seconds

There's a billion seconds in thirty-one years
My libido's worn out right up to my ears
So I guess I must believe
Mind blowing to perceive
Cruising at 82 like someone kicked me in the rear

Premium MemberA Billion Dollar Worth of Dust

They meet:
in the gathering of those who matter,
the high and mighty, the big and powerful
a post-conference period to socialize and acquaint,
Suits and gowns, holding half filled glass cups of wine
is the order and uniform of the day so sparkling in colours.
Smiles of welcome, moving lips and convincing body languages
all cap up an evening of wealth

One In a Billion

Its hard for me to find the words to explain.
Everything that you've invested, tears, sweat, and the pain.
Your dedication is a small measure of your worth.
In my eyes, a better woman has never walked the earth.
Life hasn't been easy, yet you took it in stride.
Noone suffered such hardships, and yet you do it with pride.
You

One In a Billion

Eyes shift left and right filling,
With every one in a million,
Or should I say one in a billion?
Willing to believe in the odds,
That each of us were born with a purpose from God,
To be unique and one of a kind,
One spinning fantasy built on a fallacy,
That we are all individuals,
When we’re really residuals of line,
Stretching

Million Dollar Why Not a Billion Dollar

A million dollar does not go far
Now a billion dollar will be able to share 
A poem that points to reality
With simple words that give
A point of view that does not sin
Without complications of understanding
A meaning of each star above
Point to the sky where all the planets are
A simple view to reach 
Normal people can

Premium MemberA Billion Colored Rain Drops

I'm falling, falling, up from my rage!
Words unwound in convoluted strings.
All my thoughts rejected by the page.

I am a lost bird with backward wings.
Trying hard to escape my restraints.
Words unwound in convoluted strings.

I look towards heaven and the saints.
Grasping for answers to set me free.
Trying hard to escape my restraints.

An upside down backwards symphony.
All those

A Billion Ways To Say Three Little Words

A BILLION WAYS TO SAY THREE LITTLE WORDS


There must be so many ways to say the same exact thing
Like, take this offering I was commanded to deliver to you from the Spring
And in the summer I shall say “take these my sweet”
As daisies rise from the ground to bless the finesse of your feet

There must
