Long Eternal rest Poems

R.I.P.
by Michael R. Burch

It was dark outside her and inside.
Bruised hands, cut lips, dying soul,
She didn’t remember how much she had cried.

At the time he had left her and gone
And she...

he was big,
she said hi,
he was shy,
she liked him,
(he liked her)
scared she asked,
scared he answered,
seconds later-
love at first light,
as two strangers opened arms,
smiling and sharing two hearts,

where gushing thoughts cascade,
like tears that flowed along her cheeks,
her heart set to invade.

he wrote then fled, as cowards do,
her heart a...

though it all takes place in Heaven above,
after I’d gone to my eternal rest,
the weight of time and space now off my...

Counted gasps of last breaths foreboding his hopeless waiting,
His master whom he longed to see before his soul will finally be freed,
Will no longer return and their...

My dearest little Beautiful Butterfly!
It’s not so long,
Since the hasty hands of Time, 
Snatched you away from us, 
Abruptly, unpredictably... 
Time snatches away, 
Living as well as non-living beings;
He gives his alleged reason for his...

One lesson I've learned in life, which makes no sense to me,
Is the better type of person that you strive for to be,

Pulled together
by a magnetic avoidance of loneliness,

to evade a shortage of love.
Mutually splintered souls searching
for a place to embed and
implement a façade which conceals
mutilated minds.

Spurious attempts to disarm 
the timebomb which...

Trails behind the breeze as the rain drops
Hurdles under the clouds to seek shelter
Disappears in the vapor of a darkest winter

Snapped under my coat I ran to shelter
My steps tracing...
