How can I write and not be true
to the rhythm that wells within?
How can the ocean not be blue,
not buck with the clapboard slap of tide,
the clockwork shock of wave on rock,

Vacuum
Vacuum
by Michael R. Burch
Over hushed quadrants
forever landlocked in snow,
time’s senseless winds blow...
leaving odd relics of lives half-revealed,
if still mostly concealed...
such are the things we are unable to know
that once intrigued us so.
Come then, let us...

Distances
by Michael R. Burch
There is a small cleanness about her,
as though she has always just been washed,
and there is a dull obedience to convention
in her accommodating slenderness
as she feints at her salad.
She...

Icarus, Resurrected
Finally to Burn: Icarus, Resurrected
by Michael R. Burch
Athena takes me
sometimes by the hand
and we go levitating
through strange Dreamlands
where Apollo sleeps
in his dark forgetting
and Passion seems
like a wise bloodletting
and all I remember
upon awaking
is: to Love sometimes

Southern Icarus
Southern Icarus
by Michael R. Burch
Windborne, lover of heights,
unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace
you climb, skittish kite ...
What do you know of the world’s despair,
gliding in vast solitariness there
so that all that remains is to
fall?
Only...

While Skeptic Attempts To Comprehend the Legacy of Jonathan Edwards
Alternately titled: Get out of my head mister chatterbox!
While inside me noggin legions
of monstrous demons abhor
protest being force fed
arcane and obscure
assaying into religious dogma
hence mind chatter goes full bore
thus crafting poem quite a difficult chore,

Get out of my head mister chatterbox!

Finally To Burn: the Descent of Icarus
Athena takes me
sometimes by both hands
and we go levitating
through strange Dreamlands
where Apollo sleeps
in his dark forgetting
and Passion seems
like a wise bloodletting
and all I remember
,upon awaking,
is: to Love sometimes
is like forsaking
one’s Being—to drift
far beyond any thought,

Behind the curtain, and the veil, and the canopy

The more you try to sort it out the higher is entropy,

It was a night of whispered words of love.
His voice caressed me like a romantic song
in the rich tones of an erotic melody
that made me tremble at his gentle touch.
I shall never forget that magical...

A Daughter's Bedroom, Later
American Girls blankly stare
Where shadows lend the mood of dusk
And Harry Potter shares a shelf
With Curious George
Nearby the bed
On which I read
To my young girl …
Dream, sweet baby, sleep—
Now Hokies posters fill the wall
And school...

astral plain
astronomers often describe
the path of their heavenly ride
far off in the distant night sky
defining what's higher than high
luminous wavelength emitters
heavenly hosts all aglitter
lost in gravitational trance
each dancing unique cosmic dance
charted starlight guiding the way
for ships...

A Year of Faeries
Faeries of the winter,
lacy ice aglitter.
Faeries in the mist,
Mother Nature’s kiss.
Faeries in daylight,
spectral delights.
Faeries on the waters,
Neptune’s lovely daughters.
Faeries in the park,
how the doggies bark.
Faeries in the evening,
gardens they are weeding.
Faeries of the spring,
ethereally singing.
Faeries...

I Can'T Hear You When You Whisper
" I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN YOU WHISPER "
you screech one final time,
so loudly that the walls between us shake
(Listen, listen, listen!)
I repeat, with fresh rebellion
but to you, it's just a whisper
so you hear...

Confetti The Wind
Armed with little more than hope,
it becomes your trusted shield.
For you believe in yourself;
and the confidence you wield.
The city's all aglitter;
yet hunger's all too real.
And those flashing neon lights;
detract from how scared you feel.
You see,...
