Break Up Poems

There you're alone
Gazing blue waters
In emerald splendor
Embedded within
A romantic landscape.

Visions of sundown
Peeking through blossoms
Bow down to greet you
And caress in love
Hints of my message.

You look elsewhere
At script on horizon
Setting sun engraves
Upon twilight tender
In vermillion intents,
As it dips beneath
Dreams of hushed...Read More

once upon a dream
you made me feel like a queen
gathering treasures
novel unfolded slowly 
lived happy never after

She was a mortal soul
In earth, in sweat, in sublimation
She was a devotion, humility
He was a cause
She was a compassion
He was a source
The story could go on to infinity
Yet that did not quite happen...
Rather the story became an asymptotic junction...Read More

Last night
I poured some memories into a glass 
They didn’t fill it, not at all
The bottle was almost empty 
When I started pouring
Someone else’s history
I sipped, gulped, finished it
I always drink too quickly
When I like the taste
Such a stupid thing...Read More

Here I am again,
It’s spring in my little hometown,

And you let me in
To your mama’s dream 
Of a house 
 And somehow....
It felt like home,

Even the lilacs bowed 
In acceptance 
Of our fleeting reunion,

Where you gave me a minute,
Your once...Read More

A peace of mind 
Walking by myself at a decent time 
No one to check on me 
At least I’m fine
Lower my standards 
A million zillion reasons to
Believe in me 
As I’m reaching you
Every evening new experiences 
This crib I...Read More

You face the wall,
And snore through the night. 
I face the window,
And pray for morning light. 

You say it’s all in my head,
We’re not falling apart. 
The pain is in my chest,
The breaking of a heart. 

You face the wall,...Read More

Falling in love,
To falling apart. 
Always ending up, 
Back at the start. 
I’ll face the window,
You face the wall.
When pride is strong,
Apart we will fall. 
Falling out of love, 
Two hearts on the ground. 
Still we get back up, 
To...Read More

She lays awake on tear stained pillows. 
He says you know I love you right?
His words don’t sound the same, 
His apology insincere tonight. 
Lost in her thoughts again, 
It’s back to fight or flight. 
The laughs have expired, 
With...Read More

I hope the grass is greener,
As mine is dry and wilted,
I hope you find your happiness,
As mine is faint and stilted.

I hope you treat her well,
Since you’ve left me all alone,
I hope she gives you her all,
I wish she could...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

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

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

Soon came sore blue and white joy reels of love we knew.

I night aimed blues to vamoose with my amen's seal

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

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

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.

My mother killed me with a black eye
But tonight , I have a vision

I am silent But not silent


is . My love with thoughts

My worldliness

Magu na someone

I am so

Just happy with thoughts



Please consider yourself

Karu na kisi se plum

Because don't walk

Now against someone's my feet



Am happy With thoughts

Now I have no berry





I stop it...Read More

Is silent The word

In his arms

The arrow that they have shot through the eye.

We were defeated there

Where he has smiled a little.

Word by word

They have taken care.

Now scared.

Losing them

Heart has made him his own with great pride.

Is silent The word

In...Read More

You tossed me about,
You smiled in motion as I broke in pierces,
Did you see what you had?
As you swayed me powerlessly unto the prisons of your heart,
You poisoned my heart with your trickery,
Something that looked like love,
Did you hear my...Read More
