Matthew Moser Poems

The Shadows Lengthen,
And In the night grow stronger,
They Embody fear
...

Upon sad sands of midnights dreary light,

Fell shadows that like memories blight,
...

Around me,
Endless sea,
The cold biting wind,
Beckons only to rend,
...

Shadows like flames consume,
As broken tears grow like a weavers loom,
A casket rest alone in lonely room,
Silently awaiting the tomb.
...

The beach and the foam, like lovers press,
Against each other in a moment most passionate,

And like a lovers kiss begin to end and part,
...

Crumbling, dissolving falling away,

Stars, moon, blackened day,
...

The dirty earth will give way,
To the will of my heart today.
I know of the sin you have done,
But I know that you did not do this to hurt anyone.
...

Sad and heavy, upon me a great wait,

Blank and blurry, my eyes begin to haze,
...

Falling gentle, Floating just out of reach,
The cold air outside,
Goes inside me,
The smell of the salt,
...

The rose is beauty but no one notices the leafs,
Surrounded by thorns, unable to breathe,
Their colors a dark emerald green,
Are beautiful once seen.
...
