Simon wizard, you poor under his sway
That all things of God, which then of good will
Must be always brides, and you birds of prey

For gold and silver adulterate still,
Now it's time that the trumpet sounds for you,
Because you in third circle just stay ill.

We were...

Unquotable quotes: Nurses – XIX

A nurse well-dressed is a nurse well-thought of, even if she administers the coup de grace.
Prick a nurse and she’ll pamper you; pamper a nurse and she’ll prick you.
Displease a nurse and no doctor can save you.
Report a nurse’s malfeasance and...

This is meant to be read with a French accent to aid the rhyme scheme:

WikiLeaks has tapes with Assange
Where Donald asks Vlad to arrange 
More Russian hookers
Who are the best lookers
To pee and tint Trump’s hair orange


Author's note: His die hard supporters should be required...

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XIX

IF you pull a long plucky face
Even when I-Ee-You let you have your way
Placed no impediment for the divorce
Let you keep key to backstop exit doorway

You yet keep pulling that long stubborn face
Yes you want out when...

Abandoned realities that the Kings have sought,
Biological bacillus organisms left to rapidly rot…
Absorbefacient annihilation the pawns have brought,
The bacterium Bishops are pernicious in their plot…

Ambient affliction plagues the progressive parasites,
Of the nuclear noxious nomads reaching hellion heights…
Agents of abrogation numbing the nefarious nights,
Euthanized eradications amidst...

Dreams,

There you were again
in front of me, or was it behind
pressing in, I pressing back
no drifting off this time
we were still but still not still

I stirred, you drank
we bled, then sank
me into to you
a kaleidescope of colour
caressing each tiny bit

you bit and I chewed
on ever...

An array of flavor
Paints our summer scene
With the striking colours
That in time the two of us
Like fawns had grown to cherish
Aristocratic and original
Was the infinite portrait...

SONNET XIX
In You I’ve Come to Thrive

Into the Race of Life
Innocent we came, Pure was our Heart

But I’ve found Myself on this Track
Track so Crooked and Compromised, the Vices of Nations

All over My Dreams are the G8s and 20s, the World Powers
Indeed, the Grass looks...

The tired soul,
that exerts energy like wildfire,
preempting dark truths of this world,
God questioned of His fairness

The one that lives in assured hope,
Who sees the world's beauty 
Beyond its messy evils—
She sings the Father's dreams!

And the moderators—
The ones in the middle—
They can taste the dark and...

IF I were 
a broken soul
who could mend me?
The cobbler down the road?
With his crafty skills and many tools,
the awl or maybe stretching tool?
He surely would know
-- and should I go?
My shoes, so worn but my soul so full
of these empty holes!  
My Cobbler,...

EARLY POEMS XIX

Bound
by Michael R. Burch

Now it is winter—the coldest night.
And as the light of the streetlamp casts strange shadows to the ground,
I have lost what I once found
in your arms.

Now it is winter—the coldest night.
And as the light of distant Venus fails to penetrate...
