Long Demises Poems

Dear people, 
    (Am i?) Mad it’s a conformist state?
A status that perpetuates people to pair, to compare, to prepare, 
to perfect, before performance, …?
    -sure hard to try...

Renee Vivien Translations


Song
by Renée Vivien
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

When the moon weeps,
illuminating flowers on the graves of the faithful,
my memories creep
back to you, wrapped in flightless wings.

It's getting late; soon we will sleep
(your eyes...

Wrath
Here I stand, upon
This hill, this hell of gunshots,
Pouring blood, whiskey,
Cadavers made into walls;
Unashamed generals lead
Color-adorned men
To untimely demises,
No food, no water,
But you must not leave The Cause,
For you have been called to fight
On the...

Hello sunshine…it has been years since you haven’t rose from depression
But, you finally got through the war and you won…it’s over with…you made a good last impression
On your friends...

Birds chirping roughly on an avocado tree
I curiously look upwards to see what could that noise be? 
Is it a sparrow or a mockingbird? 
It's plump and it has all shades of brown

I'm stepping upwards next to...

UNWELCOME CORONAVIRUS
At a blow of the wind from nowhere no one knows
Into the realm of the unprepared spices that knows,
With supremacy in technology, medicine, research and economy
You have come to create a spot of vacuum...

Moving on is one of the hardest things the human heart can do.
When you've pushed something for so long,
When you've believed in everything even when you felt it wouldn’t work,
When you've given every part of...

LET GO…you have nothing left to hold
Except this piece of gold
From my heart to yours…
The predator scores…
You’re lost and failure injects bad luck into you
And you’re ashamed of your sores…it’s true
Isn’t it? 
But that was...

A vast explosion in the sky
of supernova’s great goodbye
is how immense celestials die.

Yet these demises have their worth
to aid perchance in future birth
of star to house a planet earth.

Our human species’ vessel home
beneath the heavens’...

Every day a world unexplored
Because of the invisible chains holding her hostage,
Away from anything she could have wanted.
A revolving world of ecstasy
But still a world of her demise
“What if there were no people?”

All of the...

sun glints off the tearing eye.
rain pours down from heaven above
rain carried on white wings of the dove.
white snow falls to the ground.
white flakes below and all around.

I, writer

All a fluster
Men, for my sake

Nail your hearts with a stake.
Or if that leads you discontented
Take you praises you invented

And shove them where no sunshine rises
Never to return their bitter demises;

Oh I’ll explain, my...

Into the distance travels the sound of the weeping willows,
It is a problem whose solution no one knows.
The helpless man implores for relief,
On the branches of trees remains not a single leaf.

Drained of water are...

A Peculiar Life


Nothing is miracle to me
Clock doesn’t belong to me
I’m always on my chime
Who made diurnal and nocturnal? 
You or your forefathers?
Or, progenitors or those stars and planets?
Who, why and where, begin and vanish?

As...

Where wicked things grow, 
She waits to be found,
Down a dark and dusty road,
Eve, a Pumpkin, dying on the ground,

Ravens pick away her eyes, 
She now sees,
Her grin carved with back stabbing knives,
Revealing her unborn...

I rely on my unflinching courage
and on my unyielding strength
fighting for virtues that instill knowledge...
until understanding dispels rage
without leaving bitterness on the breath,
or the horrible feeling of revenge!

Will the vast unknown increase fear,
will this journey...
