G, E. Gorfu Poems

I wish I were a turtle,
To lay my eggs so fertile
And trudge away and never look back
My progeny to find their destiny
...

The Python

The python has a pair of jaws
Their limit God alone knows
...

A London bus conductor
Had a beautiful daughter
Who was learning to play the oboe,
But needed an instructor.
...

Purposeless, chained to a wife,
Turns into idolatry,
Man abhors a vacuum life,
A spicy mistress is Mystery;
...

Within the abyss that engulfs me,
Pit dark from pole to pole,
Why should I thank the gods that be,
For my fragile and broken soul?
...

Peering through a telescope
Mesmerized by the Cosmos
Frozen in the moment
Till dust gathers on their eyelashes
...

Love comes in many guises
"A many splendor thing"
A clown, a dwarf, a harlequin,
Clover, rose, and seven spices,
...

…Who am I?
I am the beggar
I am the king
I am the hunter
...

The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Iron Age, are passed
Welcome to the Fluff Age of Western Civilization

Amazing what this era has brought us
...

Real life is lived privately and within
I write some of my poems just for me
They make me laugh & cry. I arrange,
And rearrange words, till they fit
...
