Bitter Sweet Poems - Poems about 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...

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. ...

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...

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?

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...

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 by Michael R. Burch I’m sure it’s not...

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...

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, 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...

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...

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...
