Long Fatefully Poems

An ordinary young man in his twenties
Working by day, alone by night
Routine lulls him to feel forever serene

Never a new dream or fantasy
Living an obligation
Making his parents proud yet nothing causes him to become too...

"I've 
noticed 
something 
about most good 
people, with myself 
as well sometimes: 

How maybe life's not all 
about putting up fences or 
walls or marking down lines? 


Maybe life's all about abolishing our 
obligation to...

A morning coincidence, to school we laughed and skipped -  
A cloud that drifted through the sky, from my mind it slipped. 
For many years and then forever, I would forget 
That happy race...

Under the heavy and ash-gray wing of the evening,
In the melancholic waltz of memories awakened in rains,
Through the night stretching its hand like an old bell-ringer,
Ringing the bell of departure and appearing desolate in the...

Thru maritime miles of minions in motion
We hedge our opinions while pledging devotion	
To serving the Captain and sharing our smiles
Through barrels of onions and flea-bearing trials

But even the pirates who pose in a rumble
Are learning...

Hail to the thieves
that retrieve
lost trees. 

Hey! Where do you disappear?

Hail to the piercing taste of a pear. 

Hey! Why do you gaze at me so?

I don't need reality unless it's mine. 

Talk to me....

Comatose To Life

Somewhere on a small island called Penang, historically known as the Pearl Of The Orient…
There is a heartwarming tale of how tender loving care revived a comatose patient…

Behold the pulchritude overhead exalts to about a spread. 

It is o full swift which greatly outstrips thunder and gale added, 

Yet ocular to sigh from more than a score of hillocks afar. 

It is...

A movable or immovable barrier,
That functions as an entrance-exit carrier;
If, thus, easily the door concept is defined,
We may be, to peripheral spaces, confined...

Do we reflect that the door in its sphere includes,
Dramas of the woods...

If lovers of lovers had a story self-reflect would look upon a river and share old wise tells 
Would it perhaps be nacrracsitic or shallow 
Or knee deep to jump in 
Idealism or fantasy I...

Seldom does the darkness fall,
In either lonely room or banquet hall
That the memories purchased at Youth’s expense
Come back to me as fair recompense.

For when Time steals in with stealthy tread 
And alludes to the secrets...

Galactic curls in spirals swirl, entwining twisted mystery,
where time unrolls in blackened holes, no longer bright and blistery,
but writ like runes on starry dunes enclosed in cosmic history

Galactic dust, from novas' gusts, congesting empty spaces

Indian Summer
Gregory Firlotte

Indian Summer lingers for a while
with a cascade of warm sunlight 
caressing crimson, gold and russet leaves
with deep honey-colored rays. 
The air is quiet like a whisper 
and the earth still smells of...

And when my eyes are closed
In a final deep slumber...

Will there be one to say:
'Here lies the one
Who made life easy to live
For others, other than himself?'...

Will there be one to mourn
To weep and wail
Consolably...

The muse time travelers fatefully freewill say,
this love of ours was written long ago in the stars
But presently, my earthling feelings
is Venus empty
Got no romantic future happening ...
on another orbital losing spin
Just a tinfoil head...

It all started with an ember
A tiny whisper, a slow fire
The beginning blaze
Of just one gaze 
Would leave me forever changed

Started off so good
You stood by me so long
So fatefully fingered 
Such a calloused little...

Sacred and profane love by Titian - 1514

Love divine 

How it burns when it falls from the sky - 
how it hurts when the water is done. 
How it rains with the words half-denied, 
When...

Moonlit Rays Bounce On Jasmine Scented Hair

She first came to me in the setting sun
her long searching soul wondrously agape
that June night dancing having youthful fun
in her arms, I begged for no escape.

Moonlit rays bounce...

Love divine 

How it burns when it falls from the sky - 
how it hurts when the water is done. 
How it rains with the words half-denied, 
When the world looks for fabulous suns.

As I drift asleep, A cool breeze whispers through the trees, 
I wonder to myself I must have brought your true love with me!

Oh, how I wish I could whisper nearest to those sweet lips,...

White skin wins in White Territory
With its ever celebrated White History;
The West wielding its Western Mandamus,
Not bothered that I’m no ignoramus.

White skin flourishes in the White World,
Where it sits like a Final Word:
Judges with their...

Descriptive voices get louder
While likening dust to powder, 
Evangelizing ones in a sermon. 
Proclaiming it ‘A summon’

The prettily molded man is dust
To all early and late –arriving corpses, a must,
Worse dust, the one obsessed with...

Frigidness forces blood through these veins.
Age old affliction shadows us, producing pain.
Thoughts penetrating the darkness and night
Relishing their fear the only desire and delight

Voraciousness eternally the maladies' truth
Fatefully when turned each maintained its youth.
Necessity forces...

My Dearest Passion, 

It is in the rich aromas of red
swirling the recesses of this mind
timeless, with hints of berry
lingering upon my tongue

a tongue that longs to taste
a different type of fruit
spun with delicate balance
energetic...

Women of wit are treacherous tools,
Ever fatefully embracing idiot fools;
When pleasure waves a finger, it's never too late,
To enjoy the indulgence of the finger of fate.

To tread through briars and hedges of thorn,
Where whimsy's shrewd...
