Recluse By Dint of Circumstance
Recluse by dint of circumstance
Proud anonymous troglodytes
forerunners of mine
confronted threats less horrific
than forty fifth commander in chief
of United States of America.
He/him (matted hair, ratty, scrawny,
and tetchy ugly villain)
scurried into dark...

Prophecy: Listen
Listen
by Immanuel A. Michael (an alias of Michael R. Burch)

Listen to me now
and heed my voice;
I am a madman, alone,
screaming in the wilderness,
but listen now.
Listen to me now, and if I say
that black is black

Analogous to fire breathing

With jewels dangling from his lobes
and a gnarled finger entangled in dreadlocks,
“Arrrg, we must find the cove,
where the butterflies grow!”

Recluse By Dint of Circumstance
Heretic condemned to burn at stake
reprieve eleventh hour granted clemency
commuted death penalty
criminal sentenced solitary isolation
rat infested dungeon ultimate punishment
doled out after protracted proceedings
courtesy amazing graceful puffed dragon
unwittingly delivered merciful respite.
Cowled ascetic busied himself
exotic gaseous/ liquified...

The Merchant Ship
Deep ocean of azure blue
Overhead seagulls circling flew
In constant motion, heaving sides
The old merchant ship upon it rides
Rust scorched it's barnacled coat
Salt encrusted railings forever afloat
On the horizon's sinking sun's amber glow
Beckons enticingly along the...

Unable To Breathe I Chokingly Gasp For Air
Far as the (ease)
severely myopic eyes can see,
nothing but polluted atmosphere
where skull and crossbones
memento mori betokens beware,
especially with increasing chronology
mortality becomes crystal clear
existential crisis yours truly didst despair
not so much death itself, but failure

Recluse By Dint of Circumstance First Cell
He/him (ratty, scrawny,
and tetchy ugly villain)
scurried into dark recesses of hermitage
averse to cavort, frolic, inure himself
into the duplicitous schemes

Soul Stance River - 23
We are hours into the mountain riverway, the current unfriendly to us

those who have the shoulder strength are paddling the two larger canoes

The Black Pearl Poem - Booty Returned
Like many merchant vessels
That sailed from our Mersey shore
This sturdy piece of timber
Can hold its own in tales of yore
A dried up piece of flotsam
Washed up on Wirral banks
Was dutifully cleaned and dressed
And a verse...

Byword People (Came By Way)

who were unspoken for
Idol eyes resting carelessly,
got sin windswept upon a...

At Any Given Moment Countless Thought Processes
Soundlessly ricochet to and fro
hither and yon
roundly bobbing within squarely donned
talking heads of psycho killers,
one pyromaniac burning
down the crowded house
sparking magnificent conflagration
towering inferno emulating
caterwauling, kickstarting, ululating
(think) stray cats on a hot tin roof
nsync with...

"malicious' Father"
Ànd I thought to myself how I do, stand within astonishing disbelief
When I behold once more the manifestation of his maligned and malignant face....
Like somehow viewing an apparition appearing, before the gates of grace
Disguisingly vague;...

Frangible Ego Abysmally Copes
Unrelenting blitzkrieg deadly
assault upon psyche
pounded defenseless
vulnerable mindscape accustomed
to shelter within aproned crease
mama proffered manna, especially
when untethered meek docile lad
subjected to blistering hellfire
infamous hoodlums wantonly unleashed
verbal bombardments lobbing poison
spear tipped invisible blackened barbs
manifold times more agonizing

When everything in life comes to its sweltering end
There is someone whom we can depend
Shattered dreams hopeless moments & lost memories
A twilight vision can evoke then elevate to lift one's soul...
Just to be with you...

Hostages Kidnapped: Casualties of War
Hostages kidnapped: casualties of war
After extorting pound of flesh
lifetime humiliation drummed into captives
hammering indelible nightmare

death and destruction

The veritable virus lord-cum-felon of duty fraud.

Transpontine ambulances shriek, hearses creak;
Cispontine pandemia profiteerings peak.

Ghost of Harriet Harris Doth Not Countenance Monetary Largesse
After about fifty years as married wife

obvious telltale signs of terminal illness rife
hysterectomy irrevocably didst jackknife

and rounced her tortured life.
