Mona.. Oh Mona Poem by Samson Joseph

'Mona, oh Mona, when will you ever understand

our mankind is not for your taking, as you smiled;

I had taken your hand.' I had clearly witnessed it all;

Once I've seen sin in your eyes, humanity was to fall.

Sin had first came upon us, in a juicy form;

The taste between Adam's lips melted sensually

and at that moment this earth became of blood.


Your eyes reflected centuries of black snakes

then I knew your beauty was not of our kind;

Gorgoneion it states. 'I have frozen many men,

beaming them towards the paradoxes of my zen.

If only they knew what lies behind my eyes;

My inspiration of wrath, set here to cruelly dine

In your world full of hope with a Medusa faced prize.'


Speaking with her sets my body into petrification;

yet my mind is free to wonder possibilities of life,

a dawning sensation. 'I'm stuck between sides of judgment,

Lights impact and dazzle me as your face glooms this moment.

Mona.. You will not wash away what is rightfully ours!

You can never rule me into your gaze of no break,

My internal clock ceases to synchronize with your hours.'


Her hair plays with the Eastern-May swirls that twist

Her eyes dilate as I had gone closer;

sharing the kiss.. For I share Romeo and Juliet's tragic.

Before your poison taste could overtake, I glanced, at your havoc—

This witch knows no bounds—swallowed whole by surrounding corpses,

death has become a ravished sea upon the grounds of land.

Then I knew.. As to why you were one of his canvasses.
