Halloween Poems Ii
Completing the Pattern
by Michael R. Burch
Walk with me now, among the transfixed dead
who kept life’s compact and who thus endure
harsh sentence here?among pink-petaled beds
and manicured green lawns. The sky’s azure,
pale blue once like their eyes,...

Love Has a Southern Flavor
Love has a Southern flavor: honeydew,
ripe cantaloupe, the honeysuckle’s spout
we tilt to basking faces to breathe out
the ordinary, and inhale perfume ...
Love’s Dixieland-rambunctious: tangled vines,
wild clematis, the gold-brocaded leaves
that will not keep their order in...

Rising Out of My Ashes
Passion in waves, intense they pummel
Rolling me over & over & over.
Crushed. Help me grow;
Go on, depart, now - a head start
With all this crap stuck in these spokes
Might slow me down, but watch...

The Night New York Slept
It was one solemn, long night,
Tenebrous with the astuteness of perfidy,
And multiple hours before the break of an
Impatient dawn.
Lampposts froze through the pergola of winter.
Limp from exposure to unprintable tales of orgies,
And their lights, hidden...

Surely Something
imagine, wonder, ponder, think
nebulous nothing is "surely something"
more than absence, spontaneous spawning on the brink
let's fantasise, let's dream awake
utter the dubious name of nothing

Be Free, My Brothers
Penned like cattle, as if chattel,
cages rattle, sounds of brattle,
no more tattle, keen for battle.
Be free, my brothers!

For God's Sake
FOR GOD’S SAKE
When living "...of the world" despair unfurled.
I lost sight of heaven’s glorious pearl.
Truths shouted out from the depths of my mind.
God’s loving whispers to me stayed entwined.
Higher education became my goal.
Scientific teachings soon...

The Night the Moon Was Dark

A Mother
"A Mother"
An angel planted itself
in the womb of the world
for a short while
a mother carries humanity
trying to heal her wounds
the chalice of her ocean earthed
bleeds life for all it is worth
Gaia cries...

Dinner Time
At the kitchen table
Sat still like stone statues – petrified.
A sick game of musical chairs
Sat waiting for the muted music to play again.
Saplings uprooted early; replanted in rows
seated in toxic soil – a stunted growth.

Who Killed the Phoenix?
I died today
the blood stained the streets,
I rotted away in the sun
mangled in a pile.
I remember it
The way he shot me in the face
spit on my back

Tongues Like Dragons, Have No Speach.
Gray Sky modeled, a Leaf on its Falling,
And thus tenaciously wounded, a slow and Bitter Abandon
Crashes,
Past Churches among Coals
And Faces lined, tunneled by ants, cicadas
The mouths of Sad dead Men.
Gray Sky tears Into Dirt,
Cars and...

Nightmare
I saw in her eyes the sallowness of festered love.
My drum had beaten to the resonance of celebration,
Of the deeds of love evaluation.
Her art bemuses me, especially when spoken and
Sketched to the rhythms of assayed...

Poppies Will Soothe Them
You pace the forest with comfortable decadence, seizing a power you have but do not know.
Lying in the sun, the beast comes to take you on, up to the next plateau.
You’re a pinch-kissed cowardly lion,...

January Concerto
The first light I saw,
flashed in the first month of the year,
the epitome of rotational time transition,
and the harbinger of hopeful new beginning,
symbolized by the novelty of Jenus.
Born with the cardinal zodiac sign...
