Best Live Long And Prosper Poems
Veracious voices that come out to play,
Wandering words tell the tale…
Mending hearts in the mist.
Where secluded sacrifices submerge,
Whispers warming in their waves…
Sailing scriptural shores.
A man stands alone in the baneful breeze,
Watching the world decaying;
The juggling juggernaut.
This verse is inspired by & dedicated to, our brother poet Tommy (Son of Spock)...who is on hopefully, a short sabbatical...Live long and prosper SOS...lets show some love...

Placed 1'st...Thank You
when it comes to the travails
of the human heart
logic is a poor study
as Diogenes' wisdom gathers a lantern
searching in vain
there is a deeper reasoning
among the bats gathered in the belfry
ratiocination resting on a slippery slope
grasping at a coherent balance
amidst a pyroclastic flow
and although it makes little sense
it never really had to
the sensory faculty never met
with any goal other than
leap before the bottom falls out
and why Vulcans put forth their take
live long and prosper
it keeps the children coming
as well as the undying poetry written
in song as DJs are given to say
this tune is dedicated to
the one that got away
Oregon 10/23
Live long and prosper*
In spite of your death desire;
Find the releasing pit,
Empty your anguish into it.
*Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock, Star Trek
The world today must mourn the loss
Of a soul that touched generations across.
This man who changed how we looked at space,
And was associated with the Vulcan race
For where he traveled friends were made,
Hearts touched by grace and the love he gave.
And when departing he'd raise one hand,
Give split Vulcan sign from their planet grand.
With just four words, “Live long and prosper,”
Good will prevailed and hope was fostered.
What Hollywood started five decades ago,
He made much more as new fans showed.
Everyone esteemed those pointed ears,
Wherever he went throughout the years.
With Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty too,
This team of friends endured so true.
Folks loved to watch him face harsh foes,
Armed with his logic head to toes.
How often it had saved the day,
If mankind just followed his ways.
But now he's left this planet to see,
And boldly meet his destiny.
For Leonard Nimoy was his name,
Eternally honored now rests his frame.
Yet if by chance there's another race
We find one day in outer space,
All we've learned from “Mr.Spock”
About logic should help us a lot!
But more than that we must confess
His human side taught us the best.
My name is Gladys I'm a fox with long ears
I'm Boris the bat with hyper extended ears
They call me Millie a wise old owl
With really really long ears
Watch out here comes monsoon
The elephant with gargantuan ears
We all have long ears And we all agree
If we could do it all over again we would
Have Spocks ears that look the coolest
And live long and prosper,like mr. Spock
Rip
Watch me wail, wag, and whimper,
as I lag, lumber and limber,
my adult algebraic ass umption of
love lorn lustful,
pussy prison promise
fake, Falk, filters
when married daughter
becomes married mother, and OMFG
whatTFdidIgetmyselfinto
Low behold and singlefold
did I not gender gather your life
long life presence of parental
pontification that goes without
sooth saying and add up the numbers
so I can fill the male bill of plenty and request
a not/known knowing of a pre determined
prowess bliss saturnine, coital countered
cock tailed by a mean mom mesmerized miracle
of anointed via viscious ugly
uncountered societal socio so
somnablance satial sickness.
Leave me to the beaver, and the
outer limits of my twilight zone, so I can
rifleman my bonanza to a naked city
where it takes a thief to enable
Burkes Law to Mod Squad a Perry Mason, then Ironside
a manner of justice, sometimes relying on
an alternative form from Super M to Spider M,
and Hulk, then hashtag from A to Z and all letters
in between. As a man and a father with only earthy talents
I gave all that I knew, could harness, muster, and deliver as best as I knew how.
Criticize me my sons, for all what u will
as I tried my best to keep u in my still
u r the future of what is to remain
all that I have, is now yours to gain,
Rememberance is constant and our lives relate
in us all as we move forword and procreate
in keeping us in toll. Lifelines are the key to
all that is mindful and longevity unlocks
the male mantle of forever. Live long and prosper
my sons and in all things look, listen and remember.
It's hard to imagine
There was ever a time
When we were strangers
Friends?
Not for two spirits who share
The affinity, admiration and respect
That we share
Brotherhood!
That's what defines us
Whether it's giving love through tough times
Or giving tough love
A shoulder to lean on
Or shouldering the weight
When the load is too heavy to carry alone
Do we always see eye to eye?
No.
Do we suffer permanent warm and fuzzies?
Nope.
Do we wish each other long life, health and prosperity?
Yep.
Would we do whatever we could
To help each other live long and prosper?
Absolutely.
I appreciate your love, brother...
I love you back.

“May the Force be with you” (Obi Wan Kenobi)

And now (February 27, 2015 - Leonard Nimoy)
“Live long and Prosper” (Spock)
All this makes me wonder how Peter greets folks at the Gate
“Greetings” (Uncle Sam)
“Aah what’s up Doc?” (Bugs Bunny)
Or “Namaste” (ancient Sanskrit greeting)
And Hopefully Not: "I've got a bad feeling about this" (Han Solo)
Opening of Star Trek . . .
"Space . . . the final frontier . . .
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
Its five year mission :
To explore strange new worlds . . .
To seek out new life; new civilizations . . .
To boldly go where no one has gone before!"
Uhura: Captain, can you imagine it was suppose to be five years and we are
celebrating our fifty year anniversary!
Captain Kirk: Where does the time go, Uhura, I am feeling old.
Uhura: Me too, I have white hair. But we have left lasting effects on
culture ! Generations have watched us.
Captain Kirk: Oh yes, and there were many INTERESTING scenes . . .
Uhura: hummmm..... do you remember our kiss?
Captain Kirk: (laughing) How could I forget!!
Uhura: Our lips never touched.
Captain Kirk: That's not how I remember it . . . I recall take after take!
Pretty darn sure our lips touched . . .
Uhura: Yeah, our lips touched! It was the first interracial kiss and
caused quite a storm!
Captain Kirk: I remember . . . the sponsors threatened to pull the ads.
Urhua: Yes, and there was an avalanche of hate mail too. How silly!
Captain Kirk: Fascinating isn't it that a kiss in space could cause that much
reaction, we are lucking they did not self destruct us!
Urhura: . . . . or beam us back to earth . . .lol
Captain Kirk: Oh . . sweet memories, for this old man, we sure did boldly
go to some strange new worlds, it was quite the journey.
Uruha: Well so long Captain and as our friend Spock would say:
"Live long and prosper." Kiss, Kiss

My crush is of a rare breed,
A day without me makes her heart bleed
She's of a special twist,
She can't go a day unkissed
She's hardly a normal girl,
Her colour's extremely dull
Her nails are are pointed like a needle,
Too much for me to handle
Her hands are as soft as a baby's buttocks,
She caresses me and never stops
Her eyes, red like pepper,
She's the reason I'll live long and prosper
Her name is Kenyangi,
Though she prefers to be called Winnie Nwagi.
a “flower child” danced through life
so many years ago
cares were lost when she took a “toke”
and “passed the pipe” around feeling “way cool”
wishes for “peace” and “luv” she gave freely
but “pigs” were her enemies
even “flower power” couldn’t help her rise above
the brutal force used on students at Kent State
“Four dead in Ohio” became her mantra
when the National Guard surrounded her campus
fallout from Kent State spread nationwide
“Gimme Shelter” from the storm at home
while “Charlie” was pursued by draftees
Vietnam, a place she had never seen,
but the flower child’s spirit suffered
each time a son or father was “sent home in a box”
she wanted all to “live long and prosper”
in a fantasy world where love bloomed like “Strawberry Fields”
but the “flower child’s” petals fell as she grew older
it was time to “get real” after all
*Entry for Craig Cornish’s “Talk That Way” contest.
By Carolyn Devonshire about life in the 1970s
The entire world is in shock.
We lost the man who portrayed Spock.
He died at the end of Star Trek II and now he's dead for real.
Star Trek fans are saddened by his death, it's a terrible ordeal.
He was one of the reasons that made Star Trek excel.
He starred in the original Star Trek and the movies as well.
He boldly went where no man had gone before.
It's very sad that he can't portray Spock anymore.
He brought millions of his fans a lot of joy.
Sadly, we have to say goodbye to Leonard Nimoy.
(Dedicated to Leonard Nimoy who died at the age of 83 on February 27, 2015.)
The med staff may hear my voice squeak
Where they insert tubes we won’t speak
Since this causes pain
I wish they’d refrain
Or try going straight not oblique

Enterprise, man's quest exploring the unknown.Make it so!
Nomads of space in cryo-sleep
Time has little meaning as decades pass
Eerie atmosphere is computer dependant
Rrobotically maintained humans sleep
Perilous solar storms and asteroids navigated
Rampant chaos of earth light years behind.Beam me up, Scotty
Indeed the point of no return has long been reached
Science fiction ignites curiosity. Live long and prosper!
Earthlings quest to understand universe.Resistance is futile!
Had a little fun with this one. Quotes in bold print from Star Trek.
Jean Luc Picard "Make it so"
Captain Kirk "Beam me up, Scotty"
Spock "Live Long and Prosper"
The Borg "Resistance is Futile"
