                            Last night I had a worried thought

Once upon a time
In a land not so far
Lived a lead footed man
Alone with his car.

He longed to go fast
Speed flawlessly down the track
So he looked for a car
A Mustang in fact.

It was love at first sight
From bumper to bumper
He adored her sleek look
And got...

While Shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground
The ewes collected up their lambs and gathered them around
"Listen now," the old Ewe said, "you young lambs listen well,
If you all want to grow to sheep then hark to what I tell
You may...

In the funky train,
 All the hoo-ha-noisy end in fisticuff;
 As the crumpled greenback hand-out cough,
 The law has nothing to handcuff, 
  
 Maneuvering on the sloppy storey hill
 A frantic dance of dead-drunk crazy masquerade;
 Man-handling the dare-devil by weary drenched soaked...

I Have Seen The Stars Fallen

  The pageants veiled, and gnawed at gladness,
  As prism from far inter-stellar space;
  And they eclipse and the luminosity fa’e over the
  phase,
  And the pursuit of phantasy had sold out to gravitation;

My Mate’s Car 
It’s a limousine Cadillac with all the luxuries you would want. Check it out as he drives past. He has electric windows for hot July days. A digital stereo to blare his metal music out on front and back speakers, buck the...

I don't envy you

I don't envy you sister
I don't envy the fact that your eyes are too bright, painted with colors of the rainbow
How your lips look like they are smeared in a pot of warm blood
How your face look like a pot of brown...

We were oh! So bored
With the war game on the net;
The other players fuzz-faced lads
Bent on slaughter.

Then we teleported to Freisland
And landed in his back-yard … 
No escape … terrified … 
Rabbits in his headlamps.

This fearsome Swiss Baron
Swatted and teased us;
Played with us as cats...

With headlamps dark, my car was parked
Where moonbeams bathed a summer night
When fragile fingers found my grasp
And floral fragrance of perfume
Imbued in me a rich desire
To cant my face and taste soft lips:
	First kiss, first kiss, first sheer delight,
Her cool, fresh breath upon my cheek
As...

Lozenge
by Michael R. Burch

When I was closest to love, it did not seem
real at all, but a thing of such tenuous sweetness
it might dissolve in my mouth
like a lozenge of sugar.

When I held you in my arms, I did not feel
our lack of completeness,
knowing how...

My dream date

A crisp gray night with its musing moon
against a tapestry of woven stars.
The seasonal bloom's fragrance the air.

Dressed up, feeling sexy, I welcome him at my door.
He, with a strong look and seductive voice,
tall, broad shoulders, dressed casual in jeans,
dress shirt, and blazer.

His...

They fell into sound slumber
but a baby was awake, monitoring
to driver’s seat the baby dashed
engine blasted and off it went
zigzagging the highway
bumping into other vehicles
the baby driver went on

“See, even the steering wheel is off!
but worry not, sleepy kids!
I’m in control
God is in greater control
You...

In Secret Caverns, we harken to the darkness.
Our headlamps’ shut off, we are anywhere,

we are everywhere, it doesn’t matter where.
No matches, no breeze, no breath to strike

up the light, no moon, no sun, no shuffling.
Absolutely still - our souls, our conscience,

what disturbs the ash of...

I wanted to find myself, so I got lost in the woods,  
Turns out life’s easier without all the shoulds.
The rhythm of steps was a meditation  
Twelve hours a day in God’s lovely creation.

Even when I was tired, wet, hungry and cold ...

Capsizing the Costa Concordia

Divers wreathe silently through
the submerged corridors of a 
140,000-ton wreck. Little fish
dark haphazardly through
the juxtaposition of tilted ballroom,
granite bars fixed in place.
Black waters lit green by headlamps
provide a surreal spotlight
for a loveseat drifting by
A vase of Chinese dollar plants poised delicately
on a marble counter.
Across...
