Small marble Angels with their neckletts of stone Lay hand in hand………..love chilled to the bone Chiselled grey faces their glance cast above Chanting cold prayers to their heaven with love Alabaster capes ….In layered….Icy rows Cold granite stockings …cover their toes A mothers lost stare from eyes clouded white On her baby in stone …who’d passed in the night Cherubs and cherubim……frozen in pose Dark leaden boxes around them they close A bright painted Eagle to laden to fly Wings spread out wide in its last lonely cry Blank gargoyle grimace of laughter and mirth Clings to the pillar in the first throws of birth Symbols of secrets with dark sacred vowel Trying to escape this life’s…….. final scowl The mossy green ceiling with life from above Trickles clear water across the wings of a dove I feel as I sit in this howling ……crypt room The last cold dark squeeze……………. ………………From an old dead mans tomb Jon Mewett [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 06-06-2000).] |

For some reason this reminds me of the horror of Pompeii. I hate seeing pictures of that,it draws me in and breaks my heart.Likewise with your poem.It was extremely well written,it really drew me in!! creature from the black lagoon. And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |

A nice icy coolness about this Jon. Very refreshing reading it tonight on a very hot evening! Well created - good use of the hard and cold words to create this chilly atmosphere...  |

HAunting, sent shivers down my spine. great imagery. really enjoyed this poem. I light a candle at the tomb of this dead man so that a glimmer of light might slice through the darkness. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |

You never cease to amaze me Jon. I hope you realize the talent you have been blessed with. Your work gets better and better with each new piece. You draw people in, hold them captive with your words and keep them longing for more when it's done. Excellent, excellent job!! ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.... Black Eagle Oglala Sioux holy man |

Jon, So much depth to your writting. I enjoyed this one very much. Wars!! the sadness of. "The last cold dark squeeze……………. ………………From an old dead mans tomb" I just have to think that he is only awaiting the arrival of the old body to rejoin that which is gone. Enjoyed much.marcy |
