The casement creaked under the scrutiny of darkness

A lonely candle flickered to the tune of one single log

Unhinged she sat where darkness fell upon her face

Which had grown cobwebs and spider lines over time

I took a bite of tainted truth.
Believed in someone who had no couth.
The system turned it all around.
Now I'm trying to gain lost ground.

The facts they found were misconstrued.
In my blind faith I just got...

Seeing Prince Charming when you gazed into his eyes, but, beyond your

Ugly son, ugly son;
lashed out by everyone.
His mother's grey hair turned white
loving him.
He has travelled around the world.
His father wallowed in pain,
as he walked away into the plane,
they drove back home leaving him
to now lonely...

A MOTH, A PORCH LIGHT, ALONE IN AN OPEN WINDOW---

Owning up to his shortfalls may be his most difficult task.
Tomorrow mirrors that reflection.
In thought, he begins his introspection.
Standing looking out the open window, a moth...

On the canvas of my life the surface 
Started out blank the moment 
I was born and came into existence
Just as everyone does then, overtime
As I went through different experiences
The acrylic and watercolors of emotions
Thoughts...

Such things could not easily be duplicated
Let the truth be illuminated
Too sedated
Super faded
At times I hallucinated
And often ruminated
Woke up the next day feeling terrible or rejuvenated
And recuperated
Ready to do it all again a true statement
Another...

Millions and millions with one stone gone.
Killed by their own wrongs
From negating a path strong.
But oh, a picture perfect life shown
With three children in the form.
Altered destiny to hinder success seen.
Today, their fate is perceived....

An Old Man's Elegy

All the people went home;
There was no place to go.
Shadows laughingly mocked them,
As they made their way home in the snow.

They sold the old man's house,
To the highest bid.
When the gavel came...

Newton W. Moon

1853 – 1904


So, what is the truth?
My friend, have you thought deeply about life?
Have you thought long and hard about the endless ticking of time
Have you pondered and mused and ruminated with all...

It was a winter morning, last November
I recall my journey from my treasured frames
of amasses, titters and acts.
 
She was in an intermediate between red and blue
and her eyes pored out from all realisms

while you were still here,
I 
ruminated silently, 
pretending I didn't much
care,  
was neither Here nor there,
and so, Your love was a ripe hanging fruit,
beautiful and free,
but i never fully partook--
I kept it under wraps,
except...

As I lay sleeping, I dreamed of a caravan
Chased by a hydra and a ten foot bogeyman
As I slumbered, I saw a desert moon descending
Monster lumbered as my arms were extending

In my quiescent state, I...

He despaired. He was despondent and desperate.
He was impelled to violent action but restrained from acting out.
He had finally given up. He had lost all hope.
Disheartened and dispirited his will had collapsed.

my forte and my downfall
elegant thoughts, parsed perfection
effortlessly strung, priceless pearls
tailored, fitted, mitered, alliterated
craftmanship evident to Medieval guilds
perhaps too literal, haloed, overly sincere
but you, with your scantily clad jargon
middling maudlin untold descriptions
how can posies exist

I had many words,
hadn't need ink
though I wrote into inside paper

without body
some peacock feathers
greeted me
to some night west stars,
a star eyed me

on a planet
I panted thousands acre trees
there birds built their nests
I was loving all...
