Isn’t it silly, Willy Nilly?
You made the stallion,
you made the filly
and now they sleep
in the dark earth, stilly.

You Never Listened
by Michael R. Burch
 
You never listened,
though each night the rain
wove its patterns again
and trembled and glistened...
 
You were not watching,
though each night the stars
shone, brightening the tears
in her eyes palely fetching...
 
You...

Lying curled up in a foetal position my sleeping bag in a shop doorway
Trying to get a few hours sleep here in my latest home in cardboard city...

CHILDREN CAN BE MILD OR  A LITTLE WILD.
FOR HER THEY LONGED,
BUT IN SO MANY WAYS SHE DIDN’T BELONG.
SHE WAS SAD ALL THE TIME

She lies
She cheats
She steals
She breaks stuff
She has jealousy
She gets me in trouble 
And she’s stress free
She doesn’t have a conscious
She doesn’t have a brain
She doesn’t have a life so she toys with mine
She wrecks lives
And...

Among the dirt and grass
Near and far from curving paths
It's proven, I don't need to determine that
Many once thought, the Earth was flat
People so quick to judge and be the first to laugh
Events happened slowly...

Not only talking about the tummy
When I say I'm hungry

Always grew up out in the country
Where there weren't always paved roads, it was dusty
And more bumpy

The days usually sunny
Muggy
And occasionally gusty

Certain items left out in...

You aren't the woman I saw,
back when I was little.
You seemed so strong,
I guess that is why I was shocked when you cried. 

I remember all the memories,
you, my two friends, and I.
We would always...

She was only a whore they said
Just a druggie on the game
Most of the papers couldn’t be
Bothered to correctly spell her name.
Just an illegal immigrant tart,
Part of one of those foreign mobs
Over here to claim...

Let me waste my breath
Scream this at the top of my lungs
Until my face turns blue
You'll never learn

And I'll never disconnect this bad habit
You need me like a a druggie needs his needles

Cold Hearted.
That's what I was.
Just another druggie on the streets
wanting another fix.
Just another bleeding child
looking for love in dark alleys.
Just another sex slave for an older
man so I could feel love.
Just another bruised, tortured,
mislead, unfeed,...

The dreary days, when u thought no one was there.
The threats of you saying you were ending your life.
You always seemed to be on the downside.
But you were...

Coffee

I am in love with Sami and she with me, 
My name is Coffee.
We meet in the early mornings and sometimes in the afternoon,
Without me, I’m afraid she’d act like a complete loon.

We're born keyless
then given our first key to play with
we earn our first key of responsibility
to mobilize-to enter things
to cage things-to abuse things
like a warden with a cluster of keys
letting the good in- keeping the...

Giant dragons
And heroes with great big sword
The little boy with love to share with the world
Keeps reality behind closed doors

His huge imagination
Soars through the skies
That he says is green
Because he alters everything just a bit
