Premium Member Fortunes
One strand connected to a minute many years ago and a minute now is the discovery of 2 fortune cookies I'd placed in a box and put in a cupboard at my Mum's. It must be near on 30 years ago I did it, I have no recollection but they were unopened so I presumed...

Premium Member The Fortunes of Fortunate Fate
Some lives seem predestined - etched with stellar grandeur upon the crystal cradle of the universe where solar winds sigh but a lullaby and infinity is but an inheritance whilst fortunes of the fortunate are foretold and beheld in rococo charm their dreams and heirlooms and the laughter of charmed spirits hung aloft on posh points of pompous stars in chichi constellations...

Reversal of Fortunes
C-ome into reversal of fortunes, H-igh time to turn your world around; E-arly January thirty-first, L-ove, faith, and hope are found. A-fter years of total darkness, L-ight has finally shown up; Q-uitting was not in your mind, U-nceasing search did not stop. I-n spite of all setbacks, Z-eal has done more actions; A-rdent trust has let you R-each the reversal of fortunes....

Premium Member Fortunes of My Tears
I see the future in the constellation of my crystal tears as you siphon the sparkle off what’s left of my joy. Heavy is my heart where you spread your composting ego sacrificing my fire. Your unwillingness to ascend from darkness on wings of breath and light is not lost on me.. as you strut your fan of peacock plumes snuffing out any...

Fortunes Re Told
FORTUNES READ the sign displayed TRINKETS, CHARMS AND SPELLS The store had not been here yesterday shades of candles, books and bell Drapes were hung from side to side The windows all were dark Where was this place a day ago? Just yards from Salem Park Gothic kids sat on the stoop Waiting, hoping to get in Were they wishing for an audience Or to confess...

Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor
They pledged their lives, their fortunes And their sacred honor. With courage born of God and love Of freedom, they stood against The evil of the day. Nor would their lives Have been preserved had they failed in their cause. Today we cower in our comfort zones Afraid to disobey the unjust laws, The mandates of corrupted men Who will control, who grasp for...

The Fortunes of Us All
No words of mine can potently display the anguish and the joy that touch our lives; yet all our ghostly forebears went this way where words may pierce our hearts like sharpened knives. No sentient being willingly at first Accepts the pain that true perception brings. Yet we must not take hearts to be a curse; we need not flee from knowledge,though...
