from your high mountain tower.

What Good Are Our TearsWhat Good Are Our Tears?

They will not spare the dying their anguish.

Poems About RegretRegret
by Michael R. Burch
Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear . . .
once starlight
languished
in your hair . . .
a shining there
as brief
as rare.
Regret . . .
a pain
I chose to bear . . .
unleash
the torrent
of your hair . ....

Give Me a Second To Breathe Part 1Verse 1: Nothing's in my way today

ripe cantaloupe, the honeysuckle’s spout

the ordinary, and inhale perfume ...

Unwoven MemoriesI grew up and out on a four family-owned,
and cooperatively-organized,
extended matriarchal farm.
Four interdependent 1940s through 1970s patriarchally managed businesses,

The boxers outnumbered the...

Aphradere: Enlightening the Kindled Embers WithinOh, I can faintly remember
Last years' frigid December
We were like burning embers,
Kindling our fires of kindness
We were swimming in errors

Love you unbearably and truly,
So don’t be such...

I still hold on to graceful loyalty
Because you...
