About JS Moore

From any journey - whether geographic or imaginative, the most important keepsake is the reminder that people's lives are fortified by family and friends; by our ability to create our lives like creating a piece of poetry or beginning the chapter of a novel. There is and should always be a great and cherished appreciation for life itself and the priceless importance of our connections to one another.

Welcome to my website! Hello - my name is JS Moore.

I developed this site to share my poetry and stories. I have been writing for several years now and - as one can see - I am fascinated by Mythology. Twilight of the Gods is the title of this compilation of works. The poetry enbodied in this writing chronicles the lives and deaths of many heroes to include Beowulf, Cuchullain, Odysseus, and others. There are other poems I will be adding of all kinds of styles and genre so feel free to come back anytime to see what is new. To begin a Mythological Journey click the link below:

Mythological Journeys

"The battlefield is symbolic of the field of life, where every creature lives on the death of another. A realization of the inevitable guilt of life may so sicken the heart that, like Hamlet or like Arjuna, one may refuse to go on with it. On the other hand, like most of the rest of us, one may invent a false, finally unjustified, image of oneself as an exceptional phenomenon in the world, not guilty as others are, but justified in one's inevitable sinning because one represents the good. Such self-righteousness leads to a misunderstanding, not only of oneself but of the nature of both man and the cosmos. The goal of the myth is to dispel the need for such life ignorance by effecting a reconciliation of the individual consciousness with the universal will. And this is effected through a realization of the true relationship of the passing phenomena of time to the imperishable life that lives and dies in all."

-Joseph Campbell

1904-1987

Other poems found here are often tributes to other writers and poets like Jim Morrison, Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway, and Mark Twain. You'll find the links to these works below. Enjoy.

Tributes "We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the Hero's of all time have gone before us. The Labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the Hero's path And where we have thought to find an abomination, we will find a God. Where we have thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves, Where we have thought to travel outward, we will come to the center of our existence. And where we have thought to be alone, we will be with all the world." - Joseph Campbell
