we were landscaped together
my 3 sons null, void
fateful meetings of goodbyes
Solitary confinement...

Dark, deadly deliberation
Ignoring ignited ire
Foolish fervor over fateful follies....

And won’t have crossed on their own—
Till that fateful dawn!

I felt I met my fate

When I first saw you...

Beautiful soul, 
let the pain motivate you 
to run your fateful course. 

You were not made 
to stand still–
you were made 
to run!

Warm winds swirled past me on my way
    home from work this fateful day

  Light breezes now, they laugh and play
    ~ icy gusts ahead come early May...

To the half witted and handsome prince
Was born a pair of fraternal twins
All through that fateful night
Glum and sleepless he sat
Confused who fathered one of the twins!...

Two lost souls met one fateful day 
 They both were so sad and lonely
    Love was a fairy tale until, 
 It showed up so unexpectedly

And you didn't tell
Then you made me watch as you wrestled it
You laughed and blinked

A fateful blink for that was your last
Off you fell to your chilling lust....

flowing waters drift
bearing shadows for display
frigid lifeless forms
  drained of all their loving warmth
  like you were that fateful dawn

And that car pulled 
Into my driveway
Tore up the pavement
And ripped out the memories
My life has been shadowed
By dancing lights
And fateful meetings
I’ll try to piece it
All together again...

All was peaceful till that fateful day
The 5th, the result of my father’s way,
Sunrise quarter-to-eight
Slipped through life’s open gate,
Three month early, should have been May.

The earth remembers
  every September
    The dawn of Time
    fateful, sublime

  Six days of Creation
  singular innovations
    Last is Man
    land's also-ran

  Lips part, mortality
  whispers the earth...

My life, 
  dumped onto paper

My love,
  deep in the beer

The years,
  a fateful mirror

With time now short
  —and dear

I am not who I was.
I am not who I need to be.
Brown locks framed my lively flesh,
Dreams and desires glimmered in the shine of my eyes.
Today is my last day.
Hidden tears surround my eye,
I accept fateful departure....

 Moth
 seeks light
 as night falls
 Finds glowing bulb
 Flying in circles round its new found orb
 Then going into a fateful spiral
 A gleaming lure
 invites it
 to its
 doom

Precious friend,
dear friend,
my best friend.

Brings me joy,
brings such smiles,
precious dog.

Wonderful friend,

to have you here.

Will enjoy every moment
Murphy old dog,
until that fateful day....

Will it end without a shout
Will the necessary be all it’s about
And will there be tears shed for me 
On your cheeks for all to see
But if I had a choice on that fateful day
Remember me kindly laughter always.

I think I will take a stroll tonight,
for the moon is full of light.
I think I will take my chances,
on this one fateful night.
Wishes of the heart,
are fulfilled ,
on a full moon.
Twas Springtime ,
and  Love
is at its fullest bloom...

Sewing machine,  I wish you could talk.
Grandma’s last friend on her final walk.
Sewing machine, I wish you could say,
What happened to her on that fateful day.
Sewing machine, her hypervigilant friend,
Wisely silent, faithful to the end....

My heart often whispered  
Words which I could not say – 
Wish my stirrings reach you 
Upon some fateful day. 

Should I fail this missive 
Before am ground to dust, 
Know heavens will reach it – 
To you sweetheart – I trust.
