Best Falter Poems

Together we lie on the crimson sheet
Hands pressed together, we are now complete
Worlds apart in so many ways
Our eyes fixed on each other with agaze
Years have passed since we last laughed
We need to rediscover our craft
But, Time is short when you reach life’s peak
Our body’s...

Lest I Should Falter

I sit and watch as clouds gather above
huddled under my umbrella, singing along
to pitter-patter droplets destitute of
emotional mourning, or yearning, or love
befitting the day; our emotionless song.

But billowy winds stir up in the trees
which howl in despair and fright
and cast off their...

i love you but i falter too! Time to time i used to lose,
momentum but now shifting in rhythm observe this
potential its exponential, if you mine you mind's,
connection to divine these eyes will open in time,
follow your own grind cause i'd never waste my own
time,...

I watch a single girl
falter
when her face falls
her costume becomes parody
trying too hard she transforms awkward
and moves away
tucks into herself toward invisibility

dont listen to an invisible
older woman
with a turn
you could be fabulous...

If I Falter
by Michael R. Burch

for Beth

If I regret
fire in the sunset
exploding on the horizon,
then let me regret loving you.

If I forget
even for a moment
that you are the only one,
then let me forget that the sky is blue.

If I should yearn
in a season of discontentment
for...

Regardless if I spend time as a salter
From here to beyond Gibralter
Going to make you falter
I don't care if you pray at an altar

Catch them by the collar
Not going to let go even if they holler

Spent time growing up in squalor
Never was I the best...

My sanity in constricted
by all the lies,
and the non convicted
my hope was faltered
and my truth will fail
this taste of honesty
has become so stale
my lips colorless
my skin pale
my eyes were covered
by your lustful vail
and your lust was satisfied
by my undoing
and my broken will
you took it upon...

My fingers hover half a breath 
from harvesting a budding storm  
but rhythms falter, unimpressed 

beneath word-tides I would possess 
and drown in squirming moons to mourn.
My fingers hover half a breath, 

my listless pen held limp at breast 
in hope my muse might...

Wie leuchtende Blumen
Der Flügelschlag der Falter
Im frühen Morgenwind

Schillerndes Spiel über Sommergras
In freudigem Auf und Ab

---------------------------------------------

Like brightest flowers
The wing beat of butterflies
In early morning's breeze

Dazzling game over summer grass 
In such joyful ups and downs

Como flores brillantes
El aletazo de mariposas
En temprano viento de mañana

Relucido juego sobre...

A beautiful blade of grass, gleaming of a sad dew sits on the ground accompanied by many.
All are casual, some soft, some dry, 
Yet all so plain and simply satisfying.
The human touch does not hesitate to fall on them,
As they curl and deteriorate,
But a force...

We’ve been, seen but not become
soul’s light that bids us welcome,
since as yet we stand not still,
not quite aligned with God’s will.

Subtle flickers of disdain,
stifled dreams that cause us pain,
from time to time, raise their head,
signalling that we’re ill bred.

What avail the Holy Grail
if feral...

No Halter and Will Falter

An ego likes leading you to the altar
And may be big as rock of Gibraltar
She had forgotten to wear her halter
Then both of them started to falter.

Don't stumble; don't falter; don't fumble; 
Don't fall

Hey you;
Why do you even try?
When it all seems pointless;
Is it even worth it to try,
I mean all of it.
Don't stumble; don't falter; don't fumble; 
Don't fall.

The rate at which you are willing to believe;
Oh how naive!
Are you...

N-ever let your faith falter 
E-ven if the night is blue; 
L-et the new dawn break, 
L-et the beacon shine on 
Y-ou. 

P-ouring heavy raindrops 
A-re dark, black and gray; 
I-nclement clime will fade 
N-ovember twelfth day. 
A-llow your trust to glow, 
G-reat love must...
