WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME THAT I'VE BEEN MISSING B/C I'VE BEEN WRITING?

“All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don’t break them for no one. Do you understand?” – TONY MONTANA

Today’s topic is the never-ending war between actions and words.  The stakes? A reputation, judged viciously amongst the people of the public, which can be uglier than the first episode of “American Idol”.

Universally, aside from communication, reputation is the cornerstone of human interaction and credibility we carry among us; attributes such …

COLOR – ORIGINAL HUES WRITTEN BY RALPH FORNOLES – 7/20/04

Organized confusion determines my blur.
So I put my trust in color-
When its her I think,
it is the pink
that I assume
and consume,
as my favorite…
But instead
I’m red,
angrily grunting in my bed
trying to clear my head, thinking it’s true
no wonder in the air all I could see was blue
How I took it all the way back,
back to black.
Despite the white,
and finally saying hello,
to that shape of yellow.
And I can’t complain, since I see the rainbow.
Although,…

THE FANS – ORIGINAL POETRY WRITTEN BY RALPH FORNOLES 11/12/03

It was never my plan to ever have any fans.
It was just for the PASSION.
That was food for thought ration.
But others felt the same compassion.


Don’t stop the feedback,
it keeps me on track and field class star.
Or the greatest golfer under par
I promise no putt will ever be taboo,
all subjects will be told,
some old or anew,
included with the same structure after it’s true
the moral lesson is learned,
soon thereafter, I bid you adieu.…

6 RED

He makes me so wounded,
that Cupid.
He makes me feel so stupid-
or maybe its  you too that makes me feel such awe
your presence is such a present.
I feel so dumb
of what I’ve become
I’d even run a million miles
Just to see you crack a smile :)
I’m content with just the walks
because I’m in love with you and our long talks.
So baby,
maybe, one day in due time
baby be mine
but today
be my 1/2 dozen valentine?!…

FLY OR DIE – ORIGINAL POETRY WRITTEN BY RALPH PINO FORNO – 5/17/04

FLY OR DIE

LIFE ISN’T FAIR
AND NO ONE CARES
THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY
AND THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN SAY
DAY-BY-DAY
I HAVE NO PIT FOR PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN
AND ARE CONTENT TO STAY THE SAME
WAKE UP
LIVE A DREAM
LEARN TO FLY
OR SIT DOWN AND DIE.…

JADED – ORIGINAL POETRY WRITTEN BY RALPH FORNOLES – AUGUST 5TH, 2005

F IT I'M JADED.

As I open my eyes, the whites become black.
Enter the cave, where hell dwells.
I’m trying to quell,
To tell,
Myself, it’s OK
BUT IS IT, REALLY?
Like a picture faded,
I’ve become so JADED
distant memories of how I used to be.
This relationship thing is so out-dated
to the point I feel it doesn’t exist.
Jaded has nothing to do with you Jade.
Look what it has made;
made me, my perception, my disbelief
in someone rescuing me.
from being blind.
from seeing …

WHITE FLAG – Original Poetry Written by Ralph Fornoles 1/30/10

TIME TO GIVE IT UP.

DON’T SHOOT! For I’m prepared to offer resolut.
No apologies-
only UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
No apology? No, I’ve reached a point of apogee.
I love you so much,
Granted, I’ve let you go.
The second time I’ve come in 2nd place.
By no means am I still there
Be clear, I’m in the air.
The flag began to sag
the consequence of gravity.
all this shit, and a spaceship,
for I have left you behind.
And now my greatest escape
The flag now a cape
No …
