Best Currents Poems

No one scoops up the vast subtleties
Of my mind's water
Quite like the hands that adore me most 
There are no holes,
No overflows, nor spills
This soul does not filter away the essence,
Does not pluck the bloom before it has shown its worth,
Nor does his powerful hands...

Stream gushes on
The rocky terrain
My boat plunges
In the whirlpools’
Spiralling anguish
Attrition perpetuates, time to get onto the sail
The saviors winsome winds of uplifting solace
Sanctum of stratified darkness freezes within
Time to paint patina of joy on petals of hope
The sky crumbles
On sands of time
Hues of rainbow
Rapture dissolve
I...

Currents
by Michael R. Burch

How can I write and not be true
to the rhythm that wells within?
How can the ocean not be blue,
not buck with the clapboard slap of tide,
the clockwork shock of wave on rock,
the motion creation stirs within?

Currents

There are currents
That ran me into fallen trees,
Cracking me open  
Face down in the mud
Gasping for air flopping
Onto my back watching 
The clouds float by untouched, 
Like giant ballet dancers
In tune with something unseen.

Whirlpools dark and deep
Took me in suddenly 
And held me circling
Over...

Days enter days amidst living
Weeks drift in constant flow
Thrown to times endless tick
Eroding breaths it's blow

Moments of bliss in highlight
Captured by glorious clutch
Then all hell breaks loose
Crimson caress, evils such

Such eruptions between pacification
Obliterates strewing strife
We then all become it's victims
Drowning in the currents of life...

Love is an ocean current.
Love gets close then pulls away.
It doesn't want to stay.
Love frowns when it sees my face.
Thousands of miles away-
and yet
right in front of my face.
Love is a flower
delicate and sweet
but dies off quickly and no one cares but me....

I've felt wind currents 
and ocean currents likewise-
I've felt nerve currents
and electric currents too-
But none like Holy Ghost currents!...

I grow Strangly, its the wildred blossoming spasms of a deviant
thats carefully slipping into liquidating winds,
and its storming through a world where cracked tibias embrace the neck.

And beneath, hair slowly rising as tentacles,
will be falling on the veins of a careful hearts avalanche,
and the streaming...

Colored lights may hypnotize
and sparkle someone else's eyes
now, woman

your words

glitter like you've been drinking glitterade from devilish
dixie cups' alchemy secreting formulas outshining
phosphoric secretions from fireflies and other
coelacanthic creel creatures scantily clad depth diving 
kaleidoscopic critters glitter glowing fash gnashing 
ostentatious understated fatal attraction

ultra auric traffic controls

As the times do change, gravity's no well,
Based on past returns divine tomorrow,
So many obsess 'bout how others fell,
'Scape velocity's the air to arrow.
Energy equals mass times lightspeed squared?
It's all just theory, so who the who knows?
Recall how the eyes of Heisenberg fared,
Everything changes when...

in the beginning of a prior life
i took my first breath in the heart of a pyramid
shrouded is lapus lazuli light emitted from sandstone walls
singing a song smiling in Winter Worn Waves
written by the water wearing wisdom wrinkled wings

I was given a gift of 3...

Someone is not certain in his journey
if not from one sail to another sail
blessedness is for him in his travel
in a beauteous spot his journey ends.

In between sea currents he sails
strengthening his faith night and day
his travel therein He is securing
in a spiritual pathway his...

Sandakan bay by the legendary sea
The sea of the living currents
The sailors maritime space
Balhala Island buffed the guns
The guns from the European hands

Elopura set up in its front
Anchored the wooden boat of sailors
By the stars guided them aboard
The sailors are the traders
The navies, armies and...

Once upon another time around
past little deaths left
    in the sand
nevertide foams careless
    beyond
          beneath
exposed skin burning
Blue troubled currents
    pull deeply her soul
into unfathomed depths



[Thank you, Mark,...
