Frank DeFulgentis Poems

don’t speak the words
never speak the words
they were not meant
to be said
...

do not
shun the idea
of getting old
let the past unfold
...

creation
is an expression
dreams merely
regression
...

summer was all around us
closing in the invective winter
i felt the vapor
...

what do you do
when the sky
around you
falls
...

never meant
to take my time
to leave you behind
sometimes
...

you know what
destroys
all lustful potential
fear of pain
...

let the clutch free play
we'll bleed the steel
when the high temp curves
bend the wheels
...

i am a misguided soul
a lost cause
live-wire of fate
a hit or miss
...

this crawling, racing,
this pacing
oh little girl
you thought you would beat the rap
...
