when we were intense
we had been living in tents
with all their extents
having high expense
with huge head that became dense
not making much sense
much intelligence
from sinning which way prevents
need a few more hints
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn

Ever watchful
always alert,
so goes the heart
from day to day
as it sets out
on its journey that lies
ahead -
to gamble
to risk
and accept fate;
do I have the strength to try
or must I hide?
The mind plays a strange game
of riddles and puzzles
that confuse
to extents of complexity
far beyond the shores
of our comprehension -
can I cope with such a struggle,
a companionway of delusion,
of unextended love?

Ode To The Curious Man
O young man so inquisitive,
What compels you to endeavor to such high extents?
Will you never stop dreaming as long as you live,
Climbing the steep peaks of knowledge until you are spent?
O young man, what drives you so?
Have your achievements not broken the status quo?
The untamable energy which you possess
Inspires me and puts me down, for I am so much less.
For in you I see the essence of humanity,
Which separates us from the apes.
