M,

Fresh orange marmalade lifts the dark
naked in a mid-dream sky
red streaks rush across horizons
special moments won't slip on by

the silk thru your hair seduces
in love notes filling up your ear
romancing a river of blessings
trouble kisses off back the rear

pearls adorn the neck of passion
a taste...

Now we along one of hard rims are brought;
And a thin spray on the  brook is fixed, 
So shield to rims and water is begot.

As Flemings, Cadsand and Bruges bewixt,
Fearing the high waves pouncing against shore,
Build dikes to sea to have shield affixed; 

And...

LIFE IS A PLAY – JOURNAL XV

But there is a meadow
I would see in a dream 
With wild flowers rife
The most in a dream I’ve ever seen

For the view spreads endlessly
The golden bloom never fades
But stops only at some foothills,
Rolling, receding like ocean jade

The sky...

The proverbial china shop taurus
Is the brutal reptile Trumposaurus
It has a small brain
And it will inflict pain
By attempting to claw your c_litoris...

If you stick your neck out for a friend, you’re likely to lose your head.
A friend is a potential enemy in disguise as a loving wife just before vowing ties.
Friends are of all kinds but the kind you want them to be.
A friend you use...

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XV

IF you pull a long long aching face
Thinking this's it the end of my heyday
STOP think again stretch not an oval face
To look rhomboid rubarb in triangular tray

If you pulled a long winding road face
And looped it...

Well, the story got so sad
I just wanted to end it.
I found the words on a postcard,
but couldn't find the nerve to send it.

I'd mostly given up
on ever having another chance
and I got the impression
my efforts were just a waste of stamps.

You and I used...

SONNET XV
I’LL HOLD ON

There’s been times I,
Had Perfect understanding of,
What exactly around me assails. And;

There’s been Many Times like now, that 
The Question of What’s going on, and 
What exactly’s next to be done,
Has me practically Lost and Pondering.

But You seated above,
You’re The Master Weaver,
You’re...

Embraces of belonging,
Hands folding together,
Like a prophesy coming to pass,
Like a moon completing its dance with darkness

Kissing heartache away, 
Kissing fear away,
Trusting in the creations
Of every completed web

Dews every morning
To show that it is new,
Laughing away the day,
Loving away the night

When somewhere surpasses home,
When somewhere...

The hours screamed
Fine warnings eclipsed
By the science that is
Her lovely masquerade
for no woman upon bended knee
have I fostered much passion
The love of my sexy nightmare
Breast of the famous queen...

I wrote a sonnet today 
About how sad I am
Of how much I feel away
My head is full of problems
That I cannot begin to solve
Hey! Neighbour
I don’t want you involved
When life cuts like a razor
Please make a way for me
I’m aware of selfishness
Yet distance yourself...

Chance looked at me and said ‘Ok fine then.
 It will be the way it has always been.
This mafia always protects its own.’
He had such a menacing undertone;

I knew I needed to stay in control 
or I’d wind up paying a heavy toll;
No matter whatever...

Early Poems XV

Ambition
by Michael R. Burch 

Men speak of their “ambition”
and I smile to hear them say
that within them burns such fire,
such a longing to be great ...

But I laugh at their “Ambition”
as their wistfulness amasses;
I seek Her tongue’s indulgence
and Her parted legs’ crevasses.

I was...
