Early Poems XXII
These are my early poems, or juvenilia. Analogy by Michael R. Burch, circa age 19 Our embrace is like a forest lying blanketed in snow; you, the lily, are enchanted by each shiver trembling through; I, the snowfall, cling in earnest as I press so close to you. You dream that you now are sheltered; I dream that I may break through. Published by Borderless...

Moon and Lily
You were the soothing wind to keep warm, I was the hurricane, to only cause problems, You were the moon, with whom people talk, I was the Lily, nothing without your lights. You were everything anyone could ever ask for, I was a cobblestone, people stop over. I was a book of blank pages, without the sprinkle of ink, You were...

Mythological Lily
From now, until whenever, She's just as clever Divine and fine as wine A dialect revived by queens and dutchesses But a woman's heart is just as hard as a mason's arch You are gonna need your library card No more yielding to anything Like my mythological lily or winged cupid Distinguishing, but dreamy Be gentle Humble yourself to a mumble But if...

Child born from water and fire
I witnessed a body lying On the dead earth while formless and dismal A mire swollen and dying From this body arose a child so small Out of the flesh stinking of gall A child whiter than a pearly lily Who flew into paradise tranquilly The foulness of flesh remained not The child’s pureness left the world’s...

Gilded Lily
Morning's golden light showers damp Misty mare beauty in its breath River's silent stream flows where it stood Petals shimmer in earthy embrace When waves harmonized with calm air Life's gritty stains are washed away Sun shines proud on its ground Tattle spins, lost in its warm reverie Blinded by the brightest stroke Even radiance was deemed nothing Waves came and went as days...

Premium Member Lily's Manifesto
White throat open to the sky— I swallow light, spit out beauty Like bloody stars Dawn splits me open. There is no gentleness here: I break Into a fierce being Pink wounds flowering In your careful living room, I refuse to heal My scent, sweet poison, Seeps through proper afternoons and Won't be contained Yellow against black I burn holes...

When lust is a lump lily
Youth gone, lust goes a lump lily, Wealth on wane, withers family, Water drained, vanishes the lake, Truth once dawns, world looks nigh but fake. ________________________ Translation |25.10.2024| lust, family, lake, truth/reality, world Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam.
