Freest Poems

Unprecedented

...Unprecedented is my favorite word.
It’s more than a term I hadn’t heard.

It’s a concept to be explored,
an unknown that makes life seem short.

It’s my well-known wide-eyed view,
begging me t...

I DID THAT

...You know, when I first began to 
Write on Poetrysoup way back then
I DID THAT just because THAT wasn't 
Enough. After LAVENDER SONG
I spawn a few more before I caught
The full flash of flirting ...

The Mind Is the Freest Thing

...the mind 
              flees 
         any prison 
          that traps 
           the body,
             for it is
         f    r  ...

Crystal Catalyst

...You there, with your sparkle and flair,
Come near, so I may gaze upon your fare and beautiful gleam. 
The one that seems to glisten, the one that is ever drifting and shifting with a light so brigh...

Frisco Free

...the Golden Gate, she sang to me
in a darkened whispered voice
El Niño crying like a spoiled child
of all the sad souls brought to her
with desperation’s choice
that flew like angels
from her tr...

And Coveted Sings

...Love is the freest
 most precious of things

To give without cost
and coveted sings

Love to be spoken
and heard unreserved

To harness the wind
—and fly like a bird

(Dreamsleep: June, 2...

This Heart

...Why is it, this heart of mine
                           Filled with such joy, Feeling so fine
                           Can feel such overwhelming pain
                            I feel that jo...

Love Is

...Love is as big as the galaxy, 
                               No way can it be contained
                                   Sickness and death 
                                  Cannot ebb its bre...

You

...y o u, the band-aid to my bleeding wound,
             the life buoy in my ocean,
             the answer to my prayers,
             my shelter from the storm
...

'my Spirit's Learning To Fly'

...--I stand alone in silence,
as the world passes by,
feeling my spirit in defiance,
looking up and asking why,,
--I looked into the distance,
the horizons meeting the sky,
heart's soaring in a t...

Various Heresies 4

...Various Heresies 4

I, Lazarus
by Michael R. Burch

I, Lazarus, without a heart,
devoid of blood and spiritless,
lay in the darkness, meritless:
my corpse?a thing cold, dead, apart.

But th...

Dogma Or Mystery, Part Two

...It's ironic that 'dogma' simply once meant belief: something we hope is true but aren't certain of, as opposed to a fact. Now dogma means doctrine, something taken as fact and NOT to be disputed. Unf...

Solitude With Nature

...In solitude I like to bask when I am all alone
With only Mother Nature in company with my own.
Animals and nature make welcoming to be,
A serene place of peace, where I am set free.

Ever since ...

Freedom

...Freedom
Degradation, demoralization
Doom, destruction, decadence
And the masses still cry ’Freedom!’
None of this even makes sense
Free to live out every feeling
Every thought and every dream
...

The Face Seen Around the World

...I glimpse a boy sitting on a chair alone, 
his feet are hanging down,
his patched face blackened by smoke.

He is unable to cry,
unsure where his family may be, 
he scoops clots of fresh blood ...
