NEVER – new poetry by Ralph Fornoles 5/20/10 – Inspired by experience and SADE.

Albeit in song,
SADE was wrong-
clearly, with a red squiggly,
it’s never as bad as the first time,
For experience can’t just chime in.
Indeed,
how can we proceed
compared to nothing before?
But we are pulling for the future
for sure!
Or,
what about the present?
It came hard,
and then it went-
with all sorts of uncertainty
in between.
it’s just a scene
just a tableau
that will be much different
when you know.

LIVE ON – ORIGINAL POETRY WRITTEN BY RALPH FORNOLES – 5/11/10

SLIDE TO UNLOCK

SLIDE TO UNLOCK

I pressed the home button
slid to unlock…
It came to me sitting on the dock
cheese was the password
heard
To unlock, the password for posterity
as it stared at me
I couldn’t help but see
a memory;
a slice of time
a pie we try
to make sense of it all.
“That Was When”
We often said
it will live on
long
after i’m pronounced dead
the picture
for sure
will LIVE ON.…
