The Dopey One

Albert Einstein
Expanded our view beyond the skyline
Reluctant superstar and intellectual force
Relatively speaking, of course!

Time's Capsule

Surging through memory,
  all time was expanded

The past and the future
  —beginning and end

Native American

Exclusively dead,
Inclusively acculturated.
Expanded populations,
Deafeningly silent
        in
alcoholic hazes
and destructive rages.

Escape

Escape 
if only
for a minute
to a haven
of reverie
an escapade
of fantasy
expanded wings
taking flight
in sheer delight

Trump and Flatulent Fiddle

Trump and Flatulent Fiddle

Trump had tripped over flatulent fiddle;
Expanded was program and his middle;
Reviewed gift,
And got a lift;
From trial and being @#* received acquittal.

Assumption With Much Gumption

Assumption With Much Gumption

What I already made was an assumption;
When I had gathered up much gumption;
My mind expanded,
And I safely landed;
More of my poems increased consumption.

Ultimate Truths

Flower of life, blossoming universes, eternally. Of course, Mars has water; expanded minds, see beyond science. Science is a crutch for fools; it’s the soul that knows the real truths.

Heart of Gold

As the sun cast gold onto the water
Let the Son cast gold in your heart

Beyond the Rim

The universe got smaller
as my mind expanded out
The limits of imagination
endless in redoubt

Each flash the moment changes
passing light that rushes in
The cosmos but a blinking eye
—when out beyond the rim

Finally Joyous

Today is our anniversary baby 
My lady of intrigue and my wife to be 
Expanded vocabulary to mentally pleasure you 
Extraordinary tribulations we have conquered 
Nobody can fill your elegant heels 
Novice to artistry, but you were always my muse

1st Commandment Blues

Can God pass judgment
against himself

Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed
their essence the same

Faith in the vision, truth at the core
a Trinity expanded

Tomato, tomatto, all roads lead to Rome
—His joy forever proclaimed

I Believe

I believe
the size of one’s soul
as it hovers in heaven
is linked to life
experiences.
No doubt,
expanded spectral orbs
     of mountain climbers
     and fighter pilots,
     world travelers and thrill seekers,
     parents and poets,
will almost be as large
as those of
readers.

All Is Within

Big Bang

Universe was only a little sphere
Adverse to the empty space around
Converse to expand , for self adhere
Inverse to produce light and sound.

Exploded then in a blowing sudden
Inverted quickly its very sticky nature
Expanded energy in the space fallen
Started of shiny stars the adventure.

Spare Parts

A heavy load 
As we get old
That middle spread
Becomes a dread

The waist expanded
Pants extended
Cannot bend
Pants descend

Cannot wear a thong
Seems so wrong
This  love handle grasp
Cannot last

With this spare tire
Losing weight becomes a desire
Exercise is my fate
Now I need a running mate.

Entitlements

Giving someone something for nothing
    Worst idea in the history of man

  Yesterday's safety net expanded to universal permanent entitlements
    ~ Sabotaging esprit de corps with 'Gimme-what-I've-got-coming' 
                                                                                   environments

In Silence I Pray To Fulfill My Destiny

Inside me
in the created silence,
installed, I will
create my  pen silence...
I wish to be able to listen
the wind advices,
the messages from the stars,
from corner of the Universe...
in this outer space
dilated, expanded,
I will expand my
horizons, let 
my spirit free and
find my
destiny,
my infinite...!

Naombri Their First Female King

Naombri had a destination.
She fulfilled a destiny for her people.
Marching an army to their greatest good.
She inspired, enthused, and expanded their strength.

Becoming their first female king.
Queen would have been an insult.
She was more than that; she was their champion.
They adorned her with gold, and worshipped her.

A Swell Guy

This Christmas, hubby’s waistline has expanded quite a bit
So much so that all his clothes simply do not fit
I took him to the tailor, who looked a little prim
I pointed at my man and said I want a suit for him
He looked him up and down and when he spoke his tone was grim
‘Might I suggest a red one, with a nice white furry trim.’

The Hospital Fallacy

Why would they toss me in with all these crazy people?

Where we can have shared delusions. 

Of time travel…

Insanity can always be expanded on. 

Especially here. 

As we forget our families, we form togetherness. 

So that soon, their stories become my past. 

So that soon, the collective hopelessness becomes my path.

I Am Here

From the moment of my creation
I have adorned myself
   for your arrival
Ten thousand days I have
   walked out to meet you

Island have receded
Mountains have crumbled 
Rivers have dried

Only my body has expanded
   beyond itself
To spread from Sunrise to Sunset
   covering the earth

Wherever you are now
You are with me

Forgotten Desires

For all those times I wanted to touch,
now only are the forgotten desires.
Walked away – found something worth more than such,
expanded dreams – new narrow admires. 

Never will I return to the past,
nor would I repeat those mistakes.
Future seems remarkable – may it last,
continue the road to fresh destinations, no costs at stake.

Expanded Consciousness

Timeless experience
Precognating vivid dreams
Choices reality

Awareness goes through
Vibrant colors and sparkling orbs
Mingle around one

Thoughts transcend afar
Amplifying energy 
Speed up creations

Foretell scenarios
Taking probable options
Obvious gratefulness

Breaking the barriers
Forbidden act to defy
Absolute freedom.
