Is there is a paedophile running the show.

Liquor of Lament: My Glass Is Half Full
Verse 6: I've given up love countless times
I needed to pay up for my heartbroken crimes
I already repented for my sins that made my high hopes paper-thin
Don't you feel that envy from deep within?...

Sweet

Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys

hungry hearts

wasting away
in all that preying

themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to

Roses and Lilacs
Winter
by Michael R. Burch
The rose of love's bright promise
lies torn by her own thorn;
her scent was sweet
but at her feet
the pallid aphids mourn.
The lilac of devotion
has felt the winter hoar
and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

I, Lazarus

Namaste.

silk wings wet -
angel on the lake.
starlight glitter
separates from

her docile hair,
prophecy of ice.
winter pink,
pinched cheeks.
ice skate scrapes -
flecks of flakes.
the snow queen

reign, a pretty thing.
her smile warms
