Charles M Moore Poems

I was born a wild child
a navigators son
from the slums I took my chances
and was always on the run
...

I saw the T.V sell me troubled times through tinted glasses
I saw the rockets fall and peoples worlds being blown to ashes
I saw the children cry and mothers weep when hope was lost
I heard the sirens wail as bankers added up the cost
...

You said you were happy
that I had returned
to be honest I felt
I was glad that I did
...

Visions of serenity
feelings of release
flowing through some netherworld
encapsulating peace
...

Oh how it feels to be one of the free
and not to be tied like the others I see
to escape from the chains of mediocrity
and bask in the sun of the people
...

On a lonely mountain
in a far and distant land
lives a man that's seen the world go round
since the world began
...

Dear Mum,

Sitting here I wondered why I won't be home for Christmas
the lads and me in company C feel sorry for those who'll miss us
...

She loved him with a passion
that only angels know,
He thought she was so beautiful
her soul was made of gold,
...

I had a little Rubic Cube
I never really understood
I twiddled fumbled turned and cranked
its multi coloured bodyshank
...

Love you like the sun you are
love you like the moon and stars
love you like the sea that rolls
love you like the wind that blows
...
