In ancient times in yonder Hebers Ghyll*
alone stood the hanging tree---
stagnant redundancy.

Goes way back to ancient times
Back then no one knew
We still don't have a clue
Best to just kick back and imbibe...

How many men does it take to change
A toilet paper roll, ha, that would be strange
In the history of mankind
Once in ancient times
A guy did and his gender was rearranged...

Here's a cool word, it's a “lollapalooza”
From ancient times just like “zippity-doo-da”

But old folks more mature
Have our own cool lingo like a gum called Bazooka...

I'm obsessed by documentaries about ancient times
Especially the architecture it sure rings my chimes
How did they achieve it
These amazing feats
Aliens perhaps helped build these structures so fine...

Smile and the world smiles with you, fart and it stops smiling
Farts make us cringe causing a grimace with intense perspiring
A real stinky-poo smell
Which is not nouvelle
Since ancient times, people thought farts meant glad tidings...

Hieroglyphs etched upon rock walls
Leave clues for future observations.
Egyptian artists in ancient times
Told their stories in animations.

Holograms are recent constructions
That employ 3-D displays
On two dimensional surfaces,
On which its objects amaze....

No script
belonging one’s civilization
no history
anyone can recall,
only the enduring solid stone blocks
someone created to form this ancient wall.
A relic unknowingly
left to the woodland undergrowth
and those
that measure nature’s time.

The ancient times,
Buried the Genesis 
Of today's psyches,
Recycled but deformed,
Stale and stinking- 
Evolutionary idioms?
The visual décor
And the packaging
Of rotten, 
Oh no, The heaven
Ruined with the billowing smokes,
Hiding the power of Sun,
Drumming the catastrophe....

orange sun rising to the east
as i sit aloft a mountain top 
time stands still in this ancient land
has it been one minute or one day
is it the future or is it the past
Gondwanaland is sharing her stories
sharing her dreaming of ancient times
as i look to the west
orange sun sets...

Distress travels instantly through me, A samurai sword, Greek mythology, Zeus gulped kingly ideas and in his breadbasket he stored, reminiscent of the ancient times, emergency Er Hoard, feels like a billion increased/decreased Forbes, a penniless fellow hustle in no way can be bored.

Dragons of ancient times
their masters are Wizards…

Sometimes I wish, to go 
back and live in those
times as a damsel…

To have you rescue me, 
from one of those dragons…

Riding off in the sunset, with 
you and live happily ever after,
with you by my side…

cradled in the arms of night
silent still
through tattered veils of evening cloud
she peers
her silver face  kissed lovers in ancient times
and lit the even fields of a winter’s soul
perfect, white, eternal
rise above that cloak of darkness
show the way to those who wander
in the longest of nights
bright lantern of hope
glorious and everlasting.....

The fading sun bleeds it last pink shards through pastel ice of twilight 
Shimmering gods of ancient times emerge from their slumber 
The faint smell of lilacs suffused with the musk of a late spring lake 
Fireflies sanguinely dance within the windswept chattering reeds 
With the right kind of ears, you can faintly hear the whispers of your soul...
