Gone.
The native beauty of the brush.
The call of birds, the tiny thrush.
Empty.

Thorn of the RoseThorn of the Rose
Beware thy fragile gentle sweet rose
When a dragon holds you to his nose
With those nostrils that ignite and flare
Or thou will no longer bloom so fair.
Burned to nothing but a brittle crisp
Dragon...

This is not a pipeThis is not a pipe
I can see that
No bite, or burn, marks
It’s just a piece of art
Nothing you can get a grip on
A pipe is made for smoking
I keep mine stored away, haven’t used them...

The Grateful DeadThe fire was cast forward on the wind
From Hell it came with fiery breath to begin

Coughing, bound to chokeClouds above are covered, flying kites of smoke
Yet we, careless, continue to disappoint
Murky Mother Nature, coughing, bound to choke
The world’s beautiful wonders we must exploit
Leaving its shining rivers dry and broken
Climate change arguments, just to...

The room would be emptyThe room would be empty
If not cluttered with debris
Dust covers plenty
And to the lock, there’s no key
Only people of the past can remember
The abandoned room filled with briar

Along with wildflowers and Queen Anne's Lace,
A white sandy beach is waiting in the sunshine,
With a house so inviting at the day's primetime.
Seagulls are swooping and diving...

Welcome BackWhere have you been, Sir?
*I was there, where there was happiness.
Is that why you stopped writing?
*Yes, I don't write happy.
Is that why, you are back again ?

Helios
"Hell" is from "Helios" derived,
Thus was the devilment contrived,
Simple enough to add an "l,"
Ramping the "hellfire" up as well,
"Hell" is nothing but a nickname,
"Hell" and "Sun" are one and the same.
Under the sun, mankind has...

An Ordinary SwoonIn this Ordinary Swoon
by Michael R. Burch
In this ordinary swoon
as I pass from life to death,

so they ran and ran until they could run no more.
Smoke was everywhere and from within...

My Yellows and Oranges DazzleWhat sorcery is afoot in the woods on this October night?
I stir a few embers, and relight myself
The humans asleep or dead, I don’t care which
I am alive, a fire phoenix, replenishing my absoluteness
An owl...

Rampages all and shrivels anything in its path into ashes
Eternally bounded with Satan in the depths of hell
