Long Gregg Poems

It was Christmas Eve and I was at the airport,
Not a soul in sight, almost deserted, it was 10.00 pm,
Only two hours before Christmas day,
Perhaps if I got on a plane, I would see Santa...

"As  Above, So Below - The Messengers"



One day 
when this sad story 
has all blown over
of how we came to be
walking the earth 
below the veil
with monsters 
that are men 
with horns and tails

"I Can't Breathe I Am"



I can’t breathe
when you 
paint the words 
“Flow” 
on my throat
when the words 
are trapped 
and I am gagged

I can't breathe
when you're kneeling
in prayer 
on my neck 
singing a gentile

Sun Poem
by Michael R. Burch

I have suffused myself in poetry
as a lizard basks, soaking up sun,
scales nakedly glinting; its glorious light
he understands—when it comes, it comes.

A flood of light leaches down to his bones,
his feral...

I was somewhere deep in Kansas,
  on a Triumph 69’

When your song came on the jukebox,
   and hit me from behind

I was headed for a bad place,
  and cared for nothing...

That low bred confidence man!
That snooking swindler who took me for a fool.
“Hey Gregg, you thief!
You owe me still, even as I rot here,
Regrettably ensconced inside this bursting old boneyard, 
Final resting grounds of...

His dad was a Commercial Traveller
Who went to work in a suit and tie
Didn’t have that weathered complexion
From daily working under open sky.
They lived last house in Mill Row
The village school not very far.
Unlike most...

1892-1915

Mister Gregg was standing atop my grounded skull,

And so was Mister White,

And the reticent county coroner.

And inexplicably,

They directed two men in blue overalls

To dig up my decomposed body that day.

I must say, the sounds...

Gregg is greatly revered by his younger brother, 
For his basketball shooting, skill and dexterity, 
He was born Nov. 1996 in Leigh in Lancashire, 
And is a 2.0 player with much junior activity.

I didn’t know it at the time,
but my misspent youth was planned

The training ground for what I’d write,
then hard to understand

The many schools, the teachers chides,
expulsions my reward

Postgraduate work for future truth,
all voices untoward

The risks...

Dust
I open the creaky door
Light floods the dark room
Dust… all the eye can see
Dust… clogs up that old heater
That makes deep moaning sounds
The jacket and shoes in the musty, moldy oak wood wardrobe
Consumed by dust
Clusters...

The Tragedy 

Plague
Black Death
Horror
God’s punishment
Abandoned family members left to die alone
Busy towns morph in to ghost towns
Graveyards become too full
Corpses scatter the gravel roads from town to town
No one escapes death
Not priest, nor man, nor...

 Of a war that he once fought in...
