Break Poems

shabd nahi juban par 

ek lamabi se judae dekhi na pa paya bas payar tumhara 
 ek boli ki mithas dekhi na pa paya bas payar tumhara 
ek meri roshani bhi kam si ho chali jo mita chala tasveer tumhari...Read More

Piles of thoughts wanting to be discovered
Loads of noises dying to be heard 

The soul is so full of colour
The face yet pale and duller

Who're you afraid of, mate? 
Is it society, or the fate? 

Why do you hide behind...Read More

Almost

I feel like a mine,trapped inside a box.
the more I try to free myself, the smaller it gets.
smaller and smaller
 tighter and tighter, till I feel it in my chest.
that tightness feels almost suffocating.
 almost wanna break open the bones...Read More

So many seek you by the light of the dawn only to lose you through the haze of dusk
You are mysterious at times a silent secret  in the navel of mans thoughts, a deviance 
a variate inside the doors...Read More

I couldn't explain to you what the life is and why!
even I could not understand why am I addicted 
butted and bounded to certain circles!
I could never break the boundaries ; Too far to flying
where the sea is shedding the...Read More

It is often thought to be absurd, at the rate in which loyalty is shown to others either as a defensive mechanism or as a macho stance of defiance. People, especially family, can often be fooled into thinking that their...Read More

Liberal translation of an excerpt from the verse portion of Lotus Sutra, Chapter 25 (Avalokitesvara Chapter).

"..Say you are pushed off the face of Mount Meru,
By invoking the powers of Avalokitesvara,
You will float in the void like the Sun.
Or if you...Read More

Once, while breathing an ideal moon's prime appeal,

my heart infused with long rained hues of feel for you.

She was a fortress
Rock solid, determined
To stand strong 
Against any attack
But she turned the music up
While her king was in his counting house
It was far too loud
She danced on her walls
Flaunted herself, taunted
Received attention, even unwanted
Aware and unaware of her...Read More

When you are down, let it pass by.
Do nothing. Let words bleed in imagery
Speak nothing. Let silence float away..
Rephrase nothing. Let wisdom break the clichés within.

When you are down, let it pass by.
In poems, in prayers, in courage.

light break of the day
A hessian, giant face looks
whilst watching the moon
~
shining auroras
A little, giant fly looks
at the perfect moon
~
glared breaks of day
lone cloud, filled with rain water
falls from heaven host

Teeter totter

This is my voice, writing from within too without
For a long time, I wasn't listening to my soul.
I was wearing shoes to protect 
From the stones and the mud and the bugs in the grass.
I was afraid of feeling...Read More

The Ls are all mixed in together. You love. You lose. And you learn. Like the stages of grief, they intertwine and flow together. But you will always go through them all. While you learn who your partner is and...Read More

Roses for a Lover, Idealized
by Michael R. Burch

When you have become to me
as roses bloom, in memory,
exquisite, each sharp thorn forgot,
will I recall?yours made me bleed?

When winter makes me think of you?
whorls petrified in frozen dew,
bright promises blithe spring forsook,
will...Read More

Her cheeks are flushed pink with excitement
First deep snowfall she has ever seen
In person not on TV

She is from Florida, so this Christmas at Grandma’s
Is a big deal! She intends to make the most of it.

Grandma drops down and shows...Read More

Quelling the storm

When we break out
From the illusion of separation
To recognize our Identity which
Exceeds birth and death..
We can then experience the
Dance of mind and world
As spontaneous dreams arising
In our expansive Identity..
This is liberation
A quelling of the storm...

Rapunzel
by Michael R. Burch

Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear...

once starlight
languished
in your hair...

a shining there
as brief
as rare.

Regret...
a pain
I chose to bear...

unleash
the torrent
of your hair...

and show me
once again?
how rare.

Alone in my room,
Silence screaming at all ends,
I wish for companionship to mend,
But the mirror is my only friend.

Alone in my room,
Masking my loneliness with a smile at noon,
Hopelessly hoping affection may come soon,
But the moon is my only friend.

Alone...Read More

I am a person who is very confused
This world has given me much to cry about
I was torn to pieces and left to weep all night
My mother killed me with a black eye
But tonight , I have a vision
And believe...Read More

Child killers
Sexual abuses

A wife beaten to a pulp
Becuase her husband was drunk

Someone's Grandmother
Robbed to provide a junkies fix

A war vetran 
Conned out of his life savings
So he can't even pay for his own funeral costs

A charity  coin collection box
A...Read More

Oh! My Love Red is the color of a rose.
And red is the color of hearts and flowers.
Red roses symbolize romantic lovers.
Two hearts beating the same as one.
Singing and dancing in the moonlight.
Underneath the luminous moon's
silvery light. Singing and dancing...Read More

A Lull

An event that surfers know too well,
for it visits upon them, time and time, again,
and upon its occasion, it is best to parley.

Friends are made whilst best friends meld,
as addresses are traded, and rendezvous are created,
amidst an extension of...Read More
