Best Renee Poems

Each night when I go to bed
I think of all the words I've said
And ponder on the things I've  done
How your love I had once won

Many tears I've made you shed
Too many sleepless nights in your bed
When all along I owned the key
To keep...

Renee Vivien Translations


Song
by Renée Vivien
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

When the moon weeps,
illuminating flowers on the graves of the faithful,
my memories creep
back to you, wrapped in flightless wings.

It's getting late; soon we will sleep
(your eyes already half closed)
steeped
in the shimmering air.

O, the agony of burning...

“Nous nous sommes assises” (“We Sat Down”)
by Renee Vivien
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

1.
Darling, we were like two exiles
bearing our desolate souls within us.

Dawn broke more revolting than any illness...

Neither of us knew the native language
As we wandered the streets like strangers.
The morning’s stench, so...

Erika Renee, my little child,
you are growing too fast,
seems like yesterday I held
you in my arms, as I rocked
you to sleep.

I remember when you called
me papa in such a cute little way
and the enchanting smile you
gave me and still do.

I remember cute little things
you used...

With a smile
that stabs at your heart
this elegant starling
floats on the breeze,
flitting here and there
warming the souls
of those
   that she graces
with her presence.

Watching her 
chew on her lip
pulls at my soul
to know
    what's on her mind,
but I'll sit back

Who would have thought?
This early morning would unearth raw gem
I would see history, mystery, and strength
An Ebony statuette so adorned,
The Queen of Sheba would seem nude,
But you were captured in simplicity,
Conservative for sure.

Who would have thought?
My adventure would stretch, and
Swell beyond the beach, beyond the...

Amid burgeoning buds on many rose bushes,
Bridal Pink floribunda just filled early season blooming wishes.

On wide low bush, tiny shell pink buds spiral open,
A blanket of blooms soon rewarding my devotion.

Edges pale and centers darken as they age,
Compelling view at any stage.

Three inch blooms of...

POEM TO RENEE, MASTER HEALER

Perfectly proportioned Greek goddess
except her philosophies were 
somewhat eastern 
or eternal

Gold locks alight
magical medicine woman 
aflame with Sakara heat
feeds us walnuts 
wrapped in dates

Blond lashes thick as a 
witches broom
crown holding 
vine veins entwined 
Serpent spirited 
she blows crimson notes 
into...

shall i love a maiden fair

whose favor i'll not see

or will she grant within her heart

a special place for me



i take no lead in this affair

but follow her desires 

quiet patience tames my beating heart

engulfed in passioned fire



love, reciprocated love

it cries from deep inside

not guaranteed...
