Bitter Sweet Poems - Poems about Bitter Sweet

Bitter Sweet

Late at night when I’m alone in my bed.
A soft feather pillow under my head.
My mind goes drifting down memory street
when we were together and life was sweet.

We meet at a wedding, we dance all night.
Your face all aglow in the candle light.
Your holding my hand, then, after a while,
holding again as we walk down

BITTER SWEET

To get pay
You must go 
Through things
Things we face
Just for the pay
Things we can't say
Things that almost drive us insane.

So many 
Pains and shame
We faced
But unable to tame us
We're always resilient 
Onward and forward 
Until we succeed.

Good life
Our destination 
Never settled 
For anything 
But the best.

Bitter Sweet Words

A poem is a touch
When life is itchy
It ease a burden
If you read it by heart
The words are simple
No one get stuck
If you get the message
Just let it flow freely
To imagination relay
Sweet or bitter words
Are all therein if you wait
Till all the lines you read
You felt the emotions you get
Just don't pretend it hurts
Or smile

Bitter-Sweet Passion

I chose to love
Embraced bitter sweet love
My mind's patched
My heart's banded up 
Yet it heals to be fibrosed 
To never beat like before
All a consequence of loving
Loving has never been more difficult
But do I still will to love
You are damn right , I do
Cos it's my way out of a dystopian life 
Love's hurts are

Bitter Sweet Thoughts

Loneliness seeps within my inner soul
I ponder of today and yesterday 
Lost to the past my future ever-lasts
Alone, thinking I keep my thoughts at bay 
How long will I stay in my room and think?
And now thinking, think good thoughts not bad ones
Excessive thinking, brings me to the brink 
My thoughts gathering now dispersing; runs!
I

Birthday Poem to Myself

Birthday Poem to Myself
by Michael R. Burch

LORD, be no longer this Distant Presence,
Star-Afar, Righteous-Anonymous,
but come! Come live among us;
come dwell again,
happy child among men—
men rejoicing to have known you
in the familiar manger’s cool
sweet light scent of unburdened hay.
Teach us again to be light that way,
with a chorus of angelic songs lessoned above.
Be to us again

SINKING

These are poems about sinking, poems about drowning, poems about loss, and poems about new discoveries we sometimes make while feeling lost...



Sinking
by Michael R. Burch

for Virginia Woolf

Weigh me down with stones…
fill all the pockets of my gown…
I’m going down,
mad as the world
that can’t recover,
to where even mermaids drown.



Door Mouse

Bitter-Sweet

The greatest gift a man could ask for in his life 
Is being responsible for the smile his woman brings alive

She's already a goddess that was sent from heaven 
That devilish stare she gives with her eyes 
And a smile so rejuvenated like water it quenches your thirst 
I walked by her many time 
Side-eyeing

Pomegranate

Arid, bony-shanked carapace.
Shiny, weathered patina
tells of desolation,
Belies any promise of richness;
Yet when inverted,
Becoming regal.
A tatty, crown implies 
The ancient purport.


Tough, yet easily-torn in avarice.
Revealing, inner passion
Shrieks fecundity and blood, 
Gleams with shiny liveliness;
Yet when sundered,
Serried jewels.
A secret, inner-order shows
The abundant warrant.


Red, a study of translucence.
Deep-hued, each perfect gem 
Fades to stalk-umbilicus,
Foretells the unborn orchard;
Yet when

Close Your Eyes and Dream

Close your eyes and dream,
Deep in a slumber,
In solitude,
Peace and quiet,it's bitter and sweet,

Close your eyes and dream,
Forget about all the day's work,
Cool breeze,lay on the grass,
In the night under the stars,

Close your eyes and dream,
Lean on my shoulder when your scared,
Think of the moon,
She comes at dark,
Like a silver star in the sky,

In your

Bitter Sweet Memories

Early winter morning remembering
From the soft warm depths 
Of an old man’s bed:
Walking through dark streets
Shivering with cold,  thinking of
The soft warm bed she’d pushed me
From of with a final cuddled kiss
Before she snuggled back
Under the warm down duvet
So she was back asleep 
Before I’d even left the room;

Stolen half nights with my Illicit

Bitter Sweet

Surely time
 will ease the pain.
   This is the crap, 
 that can drive you insane.

   Shot in the heart; 
 Remove the arrow.
   What you hold today,
 Could be gone tomorrow.

   In these four walls;
 I sit and stare.
   I can feel betrayal;
 crackling

Bitter-Sweet Memories

Most times, there was just the three of us                                              

Bitter Sweet Victory

they fell
                     for our freedom
               far away from loved ones
           

Bitter Sweet

Dedicated to a special boy who was my foster brother for a while.

Bitter Sweet

Our memories are locked inside my chest,                   
Just knowing you, I am extremely blessed.
When you entered my life, you made your mark,
Your presence filled
