Beckoning
Beckoning
by Michael R. Burch

while the blazing locks
of her rampant mane
lay heavy on mine.
And yesterday
I saw the way
the wind caressed tall pines
in forests laced by glinting streams
and thick with...

Adieu - Part 1
Do you remember?
We lay in the moonlight, exhausted and content,
Moments from perfection, skin glistening with moisture,
Salty and sweet from love - love so amazing
That it stunned us every time ...
Always better than before, and always...

I remember my cherished Wolf Cub pack,
How I loved those Wednesday evenings,
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps,
The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair
During the mass meetings,
The solemnity...

By the Numbers
Everybody love to say they’re number one,
but it takes two
to make beautiful music,
so we’re told
Pitch perfect
That one favorite song two lovers have,
it never gets old
After ninety nine repeats,
it sounds one zero zero multiple...

In the Land of Giants
Early one morning, as fresh springtime was just ending,
I was hiking in the woods, and overhearing the birds sing.
And with a tranquil heart, and lost in a deep green world,
I was reveling in the gaiety,...

A Bittersweet Experience
I was in my backyard sunning, while lost in warm daydreams,
Enjoying red raspberries, while listening to the birds sing.
Lying on afternoon chaise, in the golden midst of hot July,
As I watched mauve butterflies, and lazy...

Belief
In your eyes, reflected to me

trembling pieces of laughing hope
still colors of grace and belief
feelings pouring from the shadows
never just make believe
always like the wonder of quiet faith
the struggle between knowing
and just...

Sign Language
I was pretty talkative, and spent all of my days chit chattering,
Like galaxies of glinting stars, all the dark universe scattering.
I was always on the move, and loved cacophonic sights and sounds,
Like the deep thrill...

My Words Do Not Match Yours
Insignificant,
My proses are nothing without you-
but scribbles, through and through
I dream a dark weary blur
of letters, a phrases, going by in a flur-
Even that; my thoughts seeming simple
even then it lacks luster given by you-
the...

At the Other Side of Light
Out on the the highway I was, in those apricot days of August.
I was returning from a vacation, and the birdsong was raucous.
My car had made the long journey, without any issues at all,
Like sun...

Old Gold
I had for long been impoverished, as is often the case with writers,
Though I worked most diligently, at times even pulling all-nighters.

As black night fuels its...

No Longer In Possession
I was an active and happy person, whose sole hobby was collecting treasures,
As night collects vast amounts of silver, with its precious moonlight measures.

Afterglow
I was an artistic, floral designer, intoxicated by the sweet-smelling blooms,
Like magenta butterfly swarms, at a standstill, intoxicated by floral fumes.
Gold days were full of my bloom designs, each one so original and unique,
Just as...

July Matinee
Tuck into the public
private seclusion.
My aversion to inclusion
includes a stub, a tub,
a carelessly careful curation,
a velvet rope, a hint of hope,
a folding chair, softened and stickied
by foam and frothing soda spills.
A not soundless though...

The Grey Man
There were images the grey man could not see
Did not want to see, in all probability
Walking by the glass doors and windows of modern stores
No warmth of being within their cold crisp alloy frames

Outside the gladiator's window, outside in the growing gloom of night,
The nearby volcano is almost invisible, only smolders silently now.
Inside his room, he can almost tangibly feel the darkness gathering about him,
Can almost tangibly feel...

and I smile to hear them say
that within them burns such fire,
such a longing to be great ...
But I laugh at their “Ambition”
as their wistfulness...

There they stepped aboard the vessel

Now they are no longer with...

The Man of My Dreams...
I sit here alone and I think –
There’s no way you can be real…
I must have imagined you, two hours ago,
When you made love to me,
On my rumpled white sheets
When you kissed...
