Accompany Poems

Like the birds I'm wanderer
on the path of sky,
Seek freedom from the virus

Vast heart of green internet
gives accompany,
Touching it I feel alive

Four walls is not a scaffold
Without outgoing
lazy time dreams fable gold

As she looked at the handsome old man pass by
She was a widow and sadly missed
Her cuddle from her husband and a loving kiss
She never thought she would be alone
Without her husband to call her own
If she could meet a...Read More

There once was a place that was very entertaining 
That used chance as a form of gaming 
Inside the hall that was run by a deck of cards 
There were rings featuring talent who wanted to be stars 
On these...Read More

Snake oily palms
got a-plenty 
under the table plans

Synthetic sly reptilian smile
bewitching many
Picking pockets with a hidden hand

Real filthy lucre fingernails 
have the zircon gluttonous glow
that enticingly Endora sells 

Dirty laundered money
boa clutches 
that unclean epidermal soul

Those cobra soundbytes ain’t adder...Read More

Good deeds and not fancy words

ought to accompany our prayers

if

we wish the undivided attention 

of our heavenly father to have!

Whatever Weekend

Being humble common pathways ere,
I ought traveled nearby that lea,
Past the margin of my home there,
Where the daffodils fickle sprightly,

As I shared the natural trail lead,
General impressions befall o'er sunlit,
E'er lighthearted to the bird's melodies,
I travailed the character of...Read More

Destiny doth accompany, deliver, inveigle America...

Smartly, squarely, summarily into
pall bearing sized hands Helena Handbasket
adorned with Aconite (Monkshood) atop casket
signaling demise, née sealing freedom
(of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness) fate
with eternal bondage super glued gasket.

I attribute more'n syzygy nsync

Why place something as beautiful 
as a rose

On something as barren as a grave

Why string a symphony

To accompany a bodies soul

When it is finally spent

Better an eerie silence

And a thorny thistle 

To accompany on one's journey

To meet thy maker...Read More

Your song of life
touches my heart,
as your words
caress my ears

All my doubts
have been gently
erased as have
many of my fears

The melodic notes
which accompany
them finds a home
deep in my soul

For Your melody
brings my face
to smile, and of
this moment I
will not let go

For...Read More

Sappho, fragment 118
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

Sing, my sacred tortoiseshell lyre;
come, let my words
accompany your voice.

Dress properly
Behave womanly
Walk nicely
Straight and not crooked
Eat wifely
But never too much
Thin ones are always preferred
Laugh courteously
Don't laugh out loud
How dare you speak so much
A slut or what?!
Speak politely if you have to
Else don't open that mouth of yours
But do smile...Read More

I lost you from sight my love
And 
I lost your enchanting light

Now

Blind on the road of life I walk 
Prisoner of sorrow's haze  
With no hope
No purpose 
No dreams I advance 
 
For 

You have carried away: 
The smiles
The...Read More

He looked beyond those flaws
To gain the needed 
understanding which was
Required to fix those flaws
That made the sound of a
Great song more perfect,
More defined and more
Liked, loved and needed.

His study of natural things
Like animals, streams, and
Storms, lead him to look
At...Read More

Papa, you must come home early today, 
said the little girl, while the mother smiled.
Yes, my dear, we will go together in the evening, 
answered the father and
kissed her forehead and left for the day.
Weeklong imaginations, desire for a new...Read More

Emerald Dress 

The dress that you’re wearing is oh so sweet 
from the curve of the neckline to the hem at your feet.  

The color is brilliant as I’ve ever seen 
What a wonderful shade of emerald green.

Nearing the end of life's rope
time starts unraveling the years.
And suspending even hope
dreams drown in yesterday's tears.

Memories locked in the past
are free to enter your dreams. 
And like shadows time has cast
they project multiple themes.

The love you sowed will survive
but...Read More

they dug deep trenches in the forest
cut down large trees
to cover these trenches
they made rooms
and covered the logs with clay
and piled dirt atop, and
used leaves to make it appear as if
they were walking on solid ground.
they made a chimney deeper...Read More

The Bible sits on the coffee table
The center of the home
As it should be, naturally,
The heart of God’s word

The Bible makes its mark on me
And every family
That has lived in this rural place
We call Appalachia

The Bible is a healing word
A...Read More

Platinum blonde, gray eyes like the polluted clouds over a Kiev sky,
heavy black coat covers the dress her mother hated, 
a young woman in heels and hidden flapper dress,
its fringe brushed the skin above her knees, forbidden rouge in her...Read More

The orchards are bare
   Their branches picked clean
Vegetables all gathered
   Carrots. potatoes, beans

Israel's dwelt outdoors in 'booths'
   For the last seven days
The Festival of Tabernacles ending
   Today its very last day

There's been...Read More

Our anti-racism, pro-polyculturing health
anti-egopatriarchy, pro-ecofeminist wealth
anti-homophobic, pro-trans-regenerative

windowless

museless
left-brain oppressively dominant room,

atmosphere,
attitude of ungratitude.

Two women I passionately admire,
would warmly accompany within any outdoor sacred space,
are doing their best to tolerate each win/lose Other

Sappho fragment #155
translation by Michael R. Burch 

A short revealing frock?
It's just my luck
your lips were made to mock!

Sappho #156
translation by Michael R. Burch 

She keeps her scents
in a dressing-case.
And her sense?
In some undiscoverable place.

After watching a couple nights of "Country" it brought to mind some lyrics I wrote when I was 20 to a country music melody I made.

It's funny how the words of songs
can climb into your mind;
that same song they've played
