Savanna Tells Fortunes At the Fair
Savanna had the prettiest blue-black hair
Azure ebony, some call these fat ringlets
I watch her mesmerize the crowd
She is the quintessential fortune teller
Most want her attention – men and women
She has the best predictions,
Nothing gloomy or dire
No terrifying warnings
Her fortunes are given to the fairgoers lovingly
Her kindness is as prominent as her beauty
People feel her star

Could You Live In My Desert
Could you live in my desert?
All I have is sand and sun
It could be quite pleasant
If you are the real one
Cos, I need someone to love
could that be you?
If you need some water
We can build an oasis
my love will never falter
Cos I love on this basis
If our love should grow and blossom
Turn my desert green
We

Fortunes and Misfortunes
From fortunes
You may jump into misfortunes
With uncontrollable greeds that
Intervene at the gambling tables
Once you win, you'll eager for more
Until you lose
All your fortunes
As luck is not always
On your sides
Sometimes it betrays
Just like man betrays his god

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.

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

Fortunes
4/17/17
Different fortunes
Regarding opposing forces
Warring over resources
And mere portions
The universe enormous
And planets in orbit
Near and far from any portraits
Or forests
You may or may not be rewarded
Due to mother nature or your own performance
Over different topics
Worldwide conflicts
Beyond and close to ore deposits
Usually having to do with profits
In and out of the tropics
With or without the use of

Fortunes Unchanged
FORTUNES UNCHANGED
We labour and sweat
eating from our brow
praying fasting and beseeching
Our maker the Creator
Change our fortunes
for man is to prayer and praise
a daily partaker seeking of grace
from the throne of his maker
To work and labour and sweat
enshrined in obeyance to the will
of his Creator.. that man is to labour
eating by the sweat

Fortunes of War
Train, sidings, chaos, meaning
Scared to look, reasoning, vision
Closed doors now opening, sighs
Confusion abounds, shouting
Bullets flying, pouting guards, snipped
Warred crimson spills
Previous defiance lies with no voice
Empty they, embraced with death
Elation, turmoil, as to where I am, confused
Being me, scared to step out, sunlight
Approached, a gentle calm
Breathing to hyper, in gasp, now lost where I am
My eyes

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

Fluctuating Fortunes
Fluctuating Fortunes
There was a brutal dictator, a strong man, who ruled a unruly
country with a steel sword that dripped of menaces and blood.
For a while he was our ally when he fought a war with a country
we didn´t like; and we helped him with weapon and intelligence.
Yet there was another side to
