Long Feeling blue Poems

The last song ever, the last note ever
The last romantically, poetically sad excuse for an apology, epilogue
But I've already messed up the...

Agony be to society's demise
Labels are for fools, not for the wise

Fatality won't come any time soon, thankfully...

Homeless people were on the news not to long ago...I weep...

I’m getting tracked down by nightfall
Hear me…hear me…out as I fall…
Hear my call; my heart’s pounding in appall 
I fall down – hear my pleas and answer my call
Don’t hang up on me at all!

Gone through anxiety and hallucinations — hate this phase

Soaking in past dread – all the words that you’ve said

Somehow, I need to learn to let go 

I need to...

Who spent a whole day at the zoo.
And while he was there,
He met a fine pair,
Of friendly and beautiful gnus.

Next he went to the camel enclosure,
Where one, made the...

There once came a day
when the world took flight
('twas only a handful
who gaped at the sight)
For when she spread her wings
so few could believe;
and fewer still
could keep alive the dream,
that had awakened for all to...

Brings me to this uncanny motivation 

I’m so uncertain…
I’m a white curtain,
Stained with murky mistakes…

It shakes me up to say this…
Not all memories last…alas, I’ve ran...

All of the pain that you hold,

The broken promises and...

Don’t scream at me
Don’t cry out for me

Don’t tell me that I’m lame
Don’t tell me lies…my High Spirit shies…
Away from the...

Wonderworks
by Michael R. Burch

History’s
mysteries
abound
& astound,
found
(profound)
the whole earth ’round,
even if mostly
underground.


The Procrastinator’s Creed
by Michael R. Burch

It’s always, “Tomorrow, I’ll do it.”
Work? I eschew it.
I never collect money I’ve loaned
and the rest of this poem’s been postponed.


WHEN...

all because you hate a benevolent God you never
even once desired to even know.  O He came down
from heaven above all because of His matchless...

And I will weep in dreams while I sleep
For that's when I fear the cascade of tears
And melancholy brought on by such folly
Will you allow me to...
