See
by Michael R. Burch

See how her hair has thinned: it doesn’t seem
like hair at all, but like the airy moult
of emus who outraced the wind and left
soft plumage in their wake. See how her eyes
are gentler now; see how each wrinkle laughs,
and deepens on itself,...

Poem written near a Cemetery  1 of 2
On 13th February 2012

While moving near the walls of a cemetery, 
I saw the glimpse 
Of a bunch of some tiny wild flowers,
Blooming in the golden Sunlight falling on them, 
They were waving their simile, 
With every...

Water and Gold

You came to me as rain breaks on the desert
when every flower springs to life at once,
but joy’s a wan illusion to...

Arise! Africa

Arise Africa and let the mills wheel along.

Arise Africa and feel the wills meal prolong.

Enclosed in the winds, the milks of nature endowed,

Enmeshed in the oceans, topography of landscapes around.

The talking drum with the voice,

The vuvuzela with the horns.

Awaiting the flickers of light,

From squibs...

Warning bells had rung before
Nature may not like it anymore
the over exploitation of its store
but human greed did underscore
rules of coexistence as in folklore.

Our experiment with wild meat
transmitted a Corona virus fleet
silently mutating, us it browbeat
spreading one to other in a meet.

Choking lungs, it took...

The Eiffel Tower stabbed at a midnight
as blue as an old Muddy Waters track.
From a distance, its lace-iron skeleton
looked like a slick and oily spider-web
crowned with a glittering neon diamond.

(My Grandmère's home is across the street from it).
“Do you want to go climb it?” I’d...

Oh, fluffy delicious breakfast delight.
Fresh juicy fruit in each scrumptious bite
Blueberry pancakes started the day right.

Music, smiles, and candy led the parade.
Horses and old cars their grandeurs displayed.
Bands and church groups singing; and crowds hoorayed.

Lots of vendors selling crafts they have made.
Great foods like french-fries,...

Sailing with you in this vast sea of existence
Participating in your pleasantness and pains
Reaching you out in your race toward righteousness
Eliminating each difference between us
Accepting your abilities and adventures
Dialoguing in times of deft doubt and distress
Inspiring, and illuminating your ideas
Nurturing your nature, notions, and noble...

Predacious paralogisms of parodies

Pantheans pantomiming

Their self indulgent songs....

Piping their illusions from realities

While the world crumbles about their feet

These axioms of paracymenes souls

Prophesied, from the prophets times

Copyrights....

Fulfilling their tales told

These fallacies of fathoms fantasies

Delusioned dreams, of grandeurs scenes

While portraying....

The pretties of something else?

These wisdoms, within a...

Sun beaming gumdrops onto the season's pixies of truth
Affectionately dancing to gingerly giggles upon my tingly skin
Cotton clouds of powder puff and gentle sweet breezes too
Tantalizingly chasing, as they merrily join up with these magical jinns

The lilacs and the wildflowers overwhelming with jealousy come in...

How far we’ve come
in this mechanized quantum
by silicon faction
the future held
our giddy and marvelous emporium

And if by chemical we could elevate
genetics design circumnavigate
such oblivious wonders
to an image
in an image
and in ourselves a God created

Lo and behold we present A.i.
the science of splendors for scientific patronage
the...

Oftimes I'm asked; “What drives you, Bro, to generate such verse, 
the bulk of which is awful and the balance, frankly, worse?” 
The dark side of reality fueled each chilling ode by Poe, 
For Macaulay, Roman heroes made his inkwell overflow.
Ernest Thayer waxed apoplectic when...

Some moments are phantoms
Disappearing swiftly without a sound
Inaudible traces
In colourless, restless surround

Others are goddesses
Wise and beautiful reminders of light
Subtle, sweet graces
Of all the grandeurs of life

A few are glass mirrors
Seemingly stable with reflective hues
Until the dust of time, quiet, settles
Both obscuring and revealing what's true...

Mt Tai
How do I describe lofty Mt. Tai’s grandeurs?
Straddling Qi and Lu states, its green lingers.
The most gorgeous landscape the Nature has drawn,
The dark and light sides convert into dusk and dawn.
Floating clouds cleanse the mortal mind and soul;
Birds fly home in groups along the...
