Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

Arthurs Moon

Fell out of a limousine
Drunk out of mind
Spoiled
Filthy rich
Child
In time


He loved
All his toys
Then a woman
Showed him other joys
Sweet, just close your eyes

On champagne dreams
Wearing butlers shined black laced shoes
Away they went
From here to the moon
In love, their passion heaven sent

Taking the train ride  of ones life
Bubble baths, there is no more strife
Pleasures surround you everywhere
Magical is the feeling of loves truthful desires
Falling in, like two young doves

New York City bombed
Devastation lingers in the air
No more love stories
Only dead widows and widowers
As infants tears fall on rainy graves
Now I, Arthur
Alone
Cringe
Staring out my window

Russell Sivey November 19, 2017 at 5:56 AM Wow, the power behind your words is awesome my friend! This is a truly fantastic and massively sorrowful poem Arthur! The moon can express many things, it witnesses a lot of pain and heartache as well as joy and tribulation! I just loved the way you wrote this poem, so full of enigmatic sadness and richness of times decay! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!
