also cry untill my eyes run out of tears..

When I am hurt for any reason..

At birth the cord was severed, though our hearts stayed connected,
    I’ve seen more beauty in your heart the more I have reflected. 

You quilted a Peter Rabbit blanket to keep me warm after birth,

STRAWBERRY SWEET 
Strawberry scent 
At the picnic place
Late in the afternoon
Birds singing up in the trees
With the joy of spring season`

The basket half empty all the pies gone
Red wine from one glass, but we had two
Leaning on the tree buck 
She lay on my lap
Pen...

Beckoning
by Michael R. Burch 
 
Yesterday the wind whispered my name
while the blazing locks
of her rampant mane
lay heavy on mine.
And yesterday
I saw the way
the wind caressed tall pines
in forests laced by glinting streams
and thick with tangled vines.
And though she reached

If there ever was a way I could easily go back in time,
I may change a few things here and maybe more there,
only a few crucial moments do enter my questioning mind,
one is of myself, I would’ve wished to take much better care.

During my mid-twenties...

Who am I a question often I ask
not wanted but adopted when born
then have had stammer all my days
making it struggle to sound my horn

In mid twenties met with God

I am in my mid twenties and life is slowing down, 
I guess I am maturing, but I don't like the turn around. 
Acquaintances today, don't know who I used to be, 
wild, crazy, adventurous, dangerous, above all, free. 

It started with a break up,...

Hmmmm...Who am I?

I have asked myself this question many times.
My strength from past incidents has depleted
my insecurity. Now, I am free to be me....

As a child I was seen as confused and insecure. I didn't see life the way my...

She tinkers change someone left on the table
waiting for brunch at the Bluebonnet Bistro,
a hole in the wall with thick on the windows.

Lost deep to thought, this rock ‘n roll liberal
in her mid-twenties and sage satin stole,
pockets a penny that weighs down the satchel

strapped to...

Headlights messaged through midnight windows 
Curtainless glass unable to subdue the urgency 
Car obtained in street nearby was theirs temporarily
Three hour drive to ship leaving island next morning

Two sixteen year old girls barely registered surprise 
Departure in stolen car and pre booked boat tickets
Organised by...

Exactly five years ago I lived in a city
that I named as the city of my struggles
quite an imposing brand you would say
but I found it appropriate in my mid-twenties.
I crawled against my inertia to move
dragging myself outside everyday.

At exactly half past eight in the...
