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

At 60, she still had "The Curse"
A Time Machine
Helped her come clean
But our Edsel is stuck in reverse

Dupliter-Iuppiter deus est ante deum hodie deus cras deum exspecto

Aliquando laeto gaudio, quibusdam noctibus rubris, quibusdam caeruleis, circumvolabo, ut micantes pluviae radii caloris per viam diffundantur.


Premium Member I'm coming home

It had been too long.
The journey ahead would not be easy.
I'll somehow make my way.

And time travel backward you master.
But no tempting your fate
Making out with a date,
Cause kissing your dad’s a disaster.

Time and Distance

Distance is created by time
Each minute creates a mile

And the miles may stretch to infinity
As surely as the clock ticks

Oceans widen
and the world is pulled apart

A time machine bought off the shelf Touted usage for those lacking wealth. The thing was a joke; Used it once and it broke. Poor guy was beside himself.

Time Travel

A lost of temperance
         -Must be
A waste of time
   -Fore neither of
The same shall their
           Ever be two
Separate they may

The Laws of Time Travel

Frankly I have been chasing
Someone like her
Matters not to her.
She knows not.

Never once has she known
Nor did I
Now she takes the escape route downtown;
I took a Greyhound out of state.

Premium Member Everywhere Ever After

a place for bribes 
no thinking it’s the last one
nor the time
anywhere ever after
little episodes 
in a capsule 
time laps
night day
time travel
It’s close 
we’re close to eternal

Shutter Speed

As I travel at warp speed
Through time, it seemed
Motionless and surreal
As my molecules
Tries to catch-up
With my body
Giving away my
Sense of smell
Touch and sight
Until I explode

Time Travel

Post reflecting
Smiling memories
Drawing faces
Dearest people
Human races.
Free occurrence
Many place
Lucky travel
Filling space.
Thankful 
Heart beats
Thumping 
Away
Shutting eyes
Old gone days.

Time Travel

What became of all the years?
The love, the fear, the joy, the tears.
The games we played right on the street,
An ice cream cone our biggest treat.
And all the people who I knew,
Are now just down to but a few.

Premium Member Seguidilla-2

I travel time backward fast
Reach the home I left
The young picture on the wall
My beauty it kept
Past smiles on my face
I tell time let me live now
In my nice old place.

Planet of the Apes - Destiny

He’s finally free,
With his mate riding horseback.
Leaves prints in the sand.

Plans to change his world,
Now dominated by apes,
Do not kill for sport.

He then sees the past,
Fallen Lady Liberty,
Unveils man’s future.

Premium Member And Yet ---

Listen to poem:
the window between us
a transient barrier
of time travel
within grasp

yet the air stagnates
out of reach
beyond the realms
we've conceived

our vision blurred
by delusion's illusion

Premium Member The Door of Uncertainty

Listen to poem:
Are we there yet?
Where are we? 
How fast are we going?
Are we nearly there? 
Are we yet, so far, Away?
When will this ever, End?
Why is this never-ending?
I need to do a pee!
I skipped the last chapter and read 
'The End'
