Black to white
Keep it simple
Not too bright

Back on track
Out of sight
Law is whack
Get ready for flight...

breath of God
fills our form
why then pride

feel heartbeats 
allow bliss
to lead us

as God’s child
we’re as He
love and light...

That “keep it simple, stupid” line
Is wise advice, we must opine.
What’s more, some poems make us snort,
It could read, “keep it simply short.”...

Speak your simple thoughts

                                                Big words create illusion

                                                  Don't cause confusion...

let’s keep it simple
distil each desire with love
tranquil silence reigns 
in but not within the world
feeling bliss rapture unfurled

Why make everything complex
Complicate, replicate, concave, or convex?
I am a strong proponent of simplifying
If there’s a problem, it’s for rectifying!

Using words with hidden meanings
is for those with intellectual leanings
Poems that are complicated
are strictly over-rated
Give me a poem with simple gleanings.

Sometime I write my poems in pencil
and keep it simple.
That won't  change anything . 
I can still be gentle 
and sentimental .

My ultimate goal
is that my poetry
will continue to make
 people show off their dimples....

verbosity and complexity in speech
mind-centric, puts heart out of reach
instead oh hermit, become like a flower
whose ineffable fragrance doth empower
without any effort employed on is part
sublime effervescence, a work of art...

Great men and small men,
what does it matter?
We all fry in the very same batter.
Moral ambiguity 
is not a hot flame
but if we don't 
pay attention
it cooks just the same.
Running a country,
living a life,
Lao Tzu said,
"Keep it simple!",
avoid all strife....

It is everywhere 
Swamplands stagnative 
The sticky substance
Binding blinding glue
Cause of resistance 

We may exit
The Maya web
By detachment
In contentment 

Vaporised 
We imbibe
Love current

Pure bliss
Unstained

Throbs

I was gonna write this over the top poem. 
It was going to have personification and all that jazz
But then I thought 
And I thought 
And I thought 
Then it hit me 
This poem is about simplicity so why not keep it simple.
Roses are violets are blue 
I want an A for this 
How about you....

Do I keep it simple,
because simple is my mind?
Do I use the words,
just to make a rhyme?
Am I being honest?
The demons that I hide.
Complexities and complications.
Only in my mind?
Are my searching eyes deceiving?
What do I hope to find?
Do I remain a dreamer,
because reality I fear?
Do I write line after line,
so I won't disappear?...

Its our love, we rule
Let'em say that you're a fool
Because it doesnt matter, now
That you've made your vow.

Lets keep it simple
Lets keep it cool
You may be a cripple
But its nothing, I'll prove it 
soon.

The roads rough, I'll help us 
through
The stones that hurt us too.
But both of us, hearts we have
So we'll triumph, now thats 
love....

Impressive doesn't impress
Keep it simple 
My soul whispered
Touch the ground
Feel the dirt
As simple as that
Clap your hands
Slap your face
Hurt is the cost to wake
As simple as that
You can write big
Diamonds and pearls
For stones of words
I ask you my child
How genuine do you express
When you desire to impress
Write to express
Not just to impress
As simple as that...

There are so many paths that we’re spoilt for choice,
each religion claiming it alone is true,
yet all admit that love’s the pulse of God’s voice,
so shifting from head to heart, blessings accrue.
Let’s keep it simple hermit, why complicate,
for if we truly wish to reach heaven’s gate,
befriending silence, lets plunge into the void,
that thus invoking grace, delusion’s destroyed....

She whispers deep of friendship's grant
Yearning for warm caress,
Alone with memories
Her clan lost in enemy lines-
Fresh dreams this world can't bless
Or stroke a woman’s pain.

You change them once,
you change them twice,
should you change again or just roll dice?
Am I too soon or maybe late,
I change so much, I can't keep straight.
You stress to make plans,
or stress with none,
It gets so stressful, you can't have fun.
Keep it simple, reduce your stress...
and you will worry a whole lot less.

THE POETRY OF CANCER
                                                (For Shelly)

My editor says
keep it simple,

so here it is:
you died on Saturday

and your viewing
was Monday.

You were a good poet
but cancer

ate through you
so fast you didn’t have

time

to write a good-bye
poem.

Now here it is Tuesday
and I am 

waiting 

for an email
that will never 

come.
