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...

Portrait of a Hanging
With the opening of my fortress cell,
solemn-faced men come locust invading in
Their mouths smile not, and eyes neither grin
as ceremonial words pursed lips expel
A deer thought escapes ... my life nears its end!
And I feel...

lifeless bodies piled in carts

Accidentally: THE END
Sand scrapes my skin as I wake,
Warm water around my shoulders break,
Spluttering, I shake my head and open my eyes,
Palms and dunes to my surprise.
Shock constricts my body as I cannot register time and...

Listen -Part 1-
8/11/12

There is a small soul within every crowd
A soft voice against the senile bickering of the strong
And the small souls wish they would listen
Wish you would listen
But the ears of the majority have been stuffed...

Heavy
My terror grows with each passing night,
As slow, steady darkness steals away sight.
Footsteps and whispers add to my fright —
Is there an end to such desperate plight?
How long, too long, till dawn’s early light!
I clutch...

Come now, girl, and tell me

You smile more often than you feel happy
You laugh more often than not
Why doesn’t...

the cobwebbed attic travel trunks,
high heeled shoes, pink taffeta gowns,
skirts that open into spinning parasols,
cool musty wine cellars lined with dusty bulbs
and oak barrels,...

Fear
What is fear?
It clutches and binds you;
Its clinch constricts your conscience and gestures.
It degrades and damages you;
Its triumph abolishes your own proficiency to prosper.
It stops and holds you;
Its impeccable knack of holding you still is...

The Fable Of Two Snakes In The Grass
Allegory (Fable-Parable) Poetry Contest
Crystol Woods
They were two snakes in the grass buried in the pit of life
now bemoaning their past with hisses, coils and strikes
she constricts he restricts
venom spewing out
she thwarts his advances and he...

The Broken Column
Broken Column
wrapped in female form
split down the centre
more than femininity exposed
Breasts capture the eye
Her softness
Confusing
Arousing
head held high
Her long black hair flows
cascades across decades
immortalized
Tears streaming down a saddened face
Doves crying to be understood
cheerful colors...

What Are We Doing
Life so blue what have I done to you?
Your daunting frame constricts my days,
And I feel the air in my lungs dissipate,
Cuts so deep I bleed and I weep,
For more than one crushed...

Through You I Smile
I’d tell you my story, but where I’m from
it’s just a statistic
Life and death- same difference- it’s just ballistics.
So much suffering – I no longer pray for salvation
But say
‘Unharden our hearts, soften the indifference, please

Shattered
SHATTERED
Thoughts recede toward essence spent. Resentful,
once vibrant blush has left only ashes.
Determined to refuse my fated path.
Evening sun, set early by my loathing.
Dispossessed by fantasy, whose conquest
shatters virtue and violates my soul.
Disfigured by...

The Way Light Changes
("Incantations", 2014, original pen and ink and acrylic)
The Way Light Changes
There are times when the very fabric of reality
changes; alters, loosens and expands,
and for that matter times when it tightens and constricts.
The former leads to...

Danse Macabre
Danse Macabre is German for Dance of Death...
Transfixed by the movements, the musical vibrance,
We move to the tune of invisible sirens.
Reality reposes with the closing of eyelids,
Then lies change to truth and peace transforms violence.

Death Mad and Blind
Dot-matrix monotony beasts,
Bring endless agonies and fake archetypes,
To drown the silent scream of nothing inside.
I know now why you turn up the noise.
Hide your ears, as they pound on the drum of sadism.
Because I howl...

Why must I hear
the tempting gurgle
Of the life giving stream
A sound wet with promise
Of refreshment

The alluring rush of movement
Liquid heaven
An enticing flow
Beckoning me to immersion
Why must I but lie here
