If Not For Love

...If Not For Love
by Michael R. Burch, circa age 18

The little child who cries,
brushing sleep from startled eyes,
might not have awakened from her dreams
to fill the night with plaintive scream...

Atop the Sapphire Bus

...Perched on a sapphire bus, its curves agleam,
In a painted glade where wildflowers teem,
A young man and lady, entwined in a glow,
Bask in love’s fervor, where soft breezes flow.

No tangled for...

Whispers of May Rain

...Whispers of May Rain:
Nature’s Embrace in the Hmar Hills

May rain arrives with a scented sweep,
Over the Hmar Hills, where old memories sleep.

Each droplet recalls a childhood song,
As misty...

In Shadows Here, I Wait Unseen

...In shadows here, I wait unseen,
Placed by Dewey's ordered scheme,
Does poetry still hold its sheen?

Shakespeare, Poe, their works convene,
Their pages turned, their words agleam,
...

The Story Of My Life

...
When seasons glide along life's dream
to raise the kiln of compassion...
a healing smile, a touch agleam
can nourish hearts' indecision
my students... flamed with a vision!
...

Snow Falling, Swirling

... 
(My inspiration is number 3, the Snowman winter scene.)


I love snow falling, watching it blow and swirl in drifts, 
like a dance- snowflakes prance...

Barefoot on Boulders-Number 5

...(Number 5)

Smiles rise over the ridge.
Courts creek, a childhood dream.
Commonsense, not even a smidge.
Barefoot on boulders, eyes agleam.
Staggering sight of matchstick bridge.
...

Enthusiasm

I cling to reveries of youth, the tender sentime...

A Past Pastime

...Humpty Dumpty lived in make-believe land, like dreamy shadows get long;
And he dwelt in a house near a wall, among merry, crimson, oriole throngs.

He had a figure equally rotund and jolly...

The Eclipse of Sanity

...Howling winds flung me into the sea
waves lashed kelp ropes around me
my belligerence grew when I was seized
anger brewed the tighter they squeezed

With fists raised and teeth clenched
I resis...

As tidal waves flicker in sparks that gleam.

Reflections of a Self Portrait

...

With cloak removed...

I'm as liable to get lost in a daydream
 as I am to scream with delight
  when a chrysalis releases a Monarch.
   I find nights enchanting when stars are aglea...

Faerie Land

...Faerie land will return to Earth
To restore the planet to green
They will arrive with such a display
This world has not for eons seen;
They will saddle fighting Dragons
In parade across a dawnin...

By Land Or Sea

...Road take me to her, lead me there
Forge the path, no matter where
I'll walk the planet to and fro
From east to west, from pole to pole

I'll swim across the seven seas
From coldest straits to ...

You and I

...You're the purple, I'm the white
You're the color, I'm just bright

My world is better because you're here
You bring me joy when you appear

I look for you, I always did
You didn't know, in me...
