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

Such a beautifully expressed poem arthur. Your last stanza was completely heartfelt and heartbreaking... A very emotional write, creatively conveyed highs and lows to the moon and back.. Excellent!

- We all look the same moon ... I often write some words on the moon ... read them ... and then leave a few words back ... - A deep and sad writing, dear friend - New York City, lacking colors, fresh air, birdsong and the silence of nature - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

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!!
