Charles M Moore Poems

Tell all your fathers
and tell all your brothers
tell all your sisters and mothers and lovers
tell all the people you meet in the street
...

Sometimes in life
you'll find the price
will cause your heart to frown
it may be wealth
...

Algernon Jovi Von Tressamaine Bru
a strange name you'd think for a parrot to choose
but Algernon thought if I'm known as Al
it will give me street cred with the rest of my pals
...

Take me to ecstasys river of dreams
wish me the pleasures of thoughts symphonys
kiss me in twilights kaleidoscope skies
sprinkle the morning with soft lullabys
...

My dog barks when I'm sleeping
to make sure that I'm not dead
and he barks when we go walking
and he barks when he wants fed
...

The mirrors would melt with the fire in his eyes
his strong arms enfolded the love that he prized
she took her last breath as her heart flew away
with a kiss that embodied the break of the day
...

You wake up and you find the mists pursuing heavens gate
like barley twist they fold with fumes from your last cigarette
you rise as they caress you reaching underneath your skin
another step to heaven from the hell your living in
...

If I were your one and only
baby I'm sure you could show me
how to take away the dark
and lead me to the light
...

If I had a doodle
I'd use my super noodle
use my noodle and I'd toodle
to get a girl for me
...

Tuesday morning half past eight
that's the time that I awake
see the shadows on the wall
hear the early morning call,
...
