Long Cushioning Poems

as Time walked by
by Michael R. Burch

yesterday i dreamed of us again,
when
the air, like honey,
trickled through cushioning grasses,
softly flowing,...

WELCOME HOME:

CHORUS:
Frozen on a mountain high,
Searching for moment so right.

You coming home!

Spreading your love wings...

by passers-by focused to catch up?
Why are...

A deep, dark kindred spider looms to proffer the sentiment, 
That abuse just objectifies the long persistent winter:  
Scouring around playfully, but embedded in the night - 
Two way of seeing it but only...

The plush grass beneath my feet
Cushioning my body an bringing me comfort
I grab a blade of grass seed and chew on it

GLIMPSE OF LIFE


As I drove alone on a winter's night
Flood of countless plays in the fading twilight
My life's theatre like the covered miles
Like myriad lamps flashed before my eyes

from see through to micro-mini skirts,
all display bleached thighs.
Thighs, cushioning men to comfort,
smooth and spotless,

voluptuous bosom,
tattooed and displayed,
displayed naked for the naked eye.
A glance at...

When I grind my gears, you become my clutch
and I lean on...

Started trust falling
Observed when caught

Spent being so tense
All my dreams met
But...

Loving us unconditionally without ever asking, for us to return.

Our God is bountiful because

We gathered eggs each morning
from atop these ancient walls,
lined with copies of the Oban Times
to keep out winter squalls.
The thatch had long since fallen in,
a repository now for owls,
cushioning and keeping safe their brood
from anything...
