Long Enrique Poems

by Max Burchett

As I was driving the usual way,
Out Chapman Road to start the day,

I stopped and had to stare.

I was shocked to see
The face of someone I had seen,
Never in...

could use a little fixing up.
     He had boxes stacked up, and clutter to 
the very top.

     We all started...

When Enrique came too, his head aching,
and his memory scrambled royally,
he found himself firmly tied to a chair,
his eyes were bleary, it was hard to see.

Something…a man, was standing before him,
who this person might be,...

Sun shines bright now
A new dawn streaks
All good somehow
For strong and weak


Dawn unfurls light
Hear freshness mint
Such awesome sights
In radiant tints


A brand new year
Calls out to me:
Now write my dear
Rhymes and stories


My darling sleeps
A smiling face

I am a party animal, my heritage is mixed
quite content to lounge about when conditions remain fixed. 

Suppose that’s the nobility which Krypton must provide,
maintaining stiff upper lip when I’m all buzzed inside.

Then too, I’m...

III.
Enrique believed in the candidate Jones,
who championed causes he favored.
He signed up to help the man’s campaign,
for a new tomorrow he labored.

It was hard work, the calls and the shouts
of the other side, so coldly...

Yesterday’s September is gone…
Our love at first sight, our time together in 
good times and bad…
Your strong embrace and true love 
I will always remember…

Your faith so strong, anxious for nothing…
knowing your day was close...

Here comes the rain as sun shines bright,
Streak rainbow plain in radiant light.


Feel thought now hurl a profound think,
Yet sense somehow a causal link.


Indulge your heart as mind plays games,
Begin and start what ego names.

Allure that toys.

For lovely ease;
Trace a sure grace
In lively peace.

MOONGLOW 1


Moonglow mantra
Translucent moods;
Unnoticed eclipse

~~~~~~~~~


Watch and wait
Somnolent feelings;
Drowsy awakening

Bubbly fest
Nice gathering;
Party moods

Lingering voice
Chocolate ganache;
Happy greets feisty

Dazzling dose
Dessert aplenty;
Brain freeze moments!

Mall crowds here
Cars on show;
Savvy choice

Stray feet zigzag
Offers to go;
Clearance sale

Create new verse
Exploit word lines;
Buzz fickle...

(Dedication: For my darling)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Bright sparkling sad eyes,
True love of my life;
Mystic aura sighs,
Wonder beyond strife.


Dreamy days speak well,
Life journey we take;
Lovely rays cast spells,
A joy ride we make.


Waltz into the sun,
Walk hand-in-hand we:
Live through wit...

Mind what you find
As echoes hint;
Seek peace of mind
In trance and tint.


Mind makes the moves
In restive sleep;
Dance in the grooves
Where all seems deep.


Mind moves to shape
A thousand takes;
Let silence drape
To mould and make.


Mind conjures storm

Mind knows the feel of heart that seeds;
Urge mellows draft as thought unfolds,
Sense a firm will that sculpts wise creed:
Echo a voice that fashions poise.

Haiku spillage
Swift strokes attend;
Loose fragments ooze


Observe the gap
In-between thought;
Herein lies peace


Profound thought
Lying in wait;
Inspiration gels substance


Prompts as fatigue
Sleepy moods freeze;
Bedtime romp


Not much to say
No bedtime story;
Just an odd workout


Sea of stars
Moonlight canopy;
Sky charcoal black


Clouds like...

Move more and more the way joy frees;
Pleasure endows an active show,
Attract grand scores in fond plenty;
Cheer spreads grand stuff in affluent times,
Trust clear vision to claim more wealth.
Aim sure...
