About Me

Hi all, my name is RICHARD LEO AMBROSE MOSS
I am a 50 year old male living in Kumeu 25 km northwest of Auckland. I write astronomical articles for the Auckland Astronomical Society Journal and the Astronomical Year Book. http://www.astronomy.org.nz/aas/pub/Journal.asp
I have been doing astronomy for 20 years now and two of my friends discovered a planet around another star.
I am working as a receptionist/support for the fieldworkers at SF Auckland (Supporting Families in Mental Illness) who go out to families and give support as needed. I spent 16 years at Youthline where I was a phone counsellor, Supervisor, Facilitator and Mentor. Those 16 years were challenging, rewarding and gave me the skills that I have used in my employment.
I rode motorbikes from when I was 15 until 1983 when I was hit by a car. Still have a lot of pain but have learnt to deal with it and get on with things.
I also write articles on thoroughbred pedigrees, see: http://www.thoroughbredvillage.com.au/rich.asp
This is just a hobby and I like to investigate the pedigrees of thoroughbreds and see how they are bred and what makes them so good. Just one aspect of breeding but interesting all the same.
I have 4 brothers, 1 sister, 3 nephews and 5 nieces. My Mum is still alive and I visit her in Papakura every Saturday and my father died a few years ago.

BE MINE

(R.L.A. Moss 2007)

I feel alone in the Universe,
Amongst the vastness of its chilled night,
Tears swept from cheek and dangled in space,
Each a twinkling dew of tiny starlight,
Looked upon by starcrossed lovers below,
Unrecognised pain from their place on Earth,
Just dazzling points of cheerful glow,
Unrecognised for their misunderstood worth.

I wish that I could feel complete,
And wipe my stars away some day,
To feel the Earth beneath my feet,
To laugh and sing and love and play,
To love, be loved, ecstasy's joy,
To stand tall and be able to say,
And not feel like some lost boy,
I love you babe, forever and a day.

Yes, for this rare gift I hold dear,
Love's warm breath upon my cheek,
Love's gentle whispers in my ear,
And Love's postman for whom I seek.
Deliver to me that parcel of love,
Wrapped so tightly in womanly heart,
Be Mine and I Yours, in the heavens above,
Together, bold new journeys will we chart.

(Finally they arrive in the PHANTOM'S lair. Downstage
the candles in the lake lift up revealing giant
candelabrums outlining the space. The boat turns into a
bed. There is a huge pipe organ. The PHANTOM sits at
the organ and takes over the accompaniment)
PHANTOM
I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne . . .
to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music . . . music . . .
You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone . . .
Since the moment I first heard you sing,
I have needed you with me, to serve me,
to sing, for my music . . . my music . . .
(changing mood)
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation . . .
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination . . .
Silently the senses abandon their defences . . .
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour . . .
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender . . .
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
And listen to the music of the night . . .
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before . . .
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you . . .
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you . . .
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
The darkness of the music of the night . . .
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be !
Only then can you belong to me . . .
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write -
The power of the music of the night . . .
(During all this, the PHANTOM has conditioned
CHRISTINE to the coldness of his touch and her fingers
are brave enough to stray to his mask and caress it, with
no hint of removing it. The PHANTOM leads her to a
large mirror from which he removes a dust cover and in
which we see the image of CHRISTINE, a perfect wax-
face impression, wearing a wedding gown.
CHRISTINE moves slowly towards it when suddenly the image thrusts
its hands through the mirror towards her She faints.
The PHANTOM catches her and carries her to the bed, where
he lays her down.)
PHANTOM
You alone can make my song take flight -
Help me make the music of the night . .
