Long Inundating Poems

Smoke
by Michael R. Burch

rang bells within (the din was in) my mind, and I can't say
if...

rain hitting the asphalt, the cracking concrete, water weaving
its way down the overpass. Residents cover up with plastic,
a conflagration of yellow light on garbage bags
hitting tree tops, branches, leaves old and new. Boughs
sagging with the...

Once in a dark cave their lay aside devastated ruins 

The chains of weeds of my strongholds and failures that had over grown my deflated plans,goals and dreams

After 4 years of punk-sunk domestic complexion and skunk-drunk diplomatic stance...

Inundating radiant sunshine beams 
down on my face
fervently tracing crows feet 
nearing the frown I can taste

obliterating tear streaks 
transmitting them 
into the depths of outer space
introducing an iridescent spectrum 
of piercing waves 
golden ears...

When the sun set, and night descended,
When the day with all its unrest quietly fled,
Feeling tired and sleepy, I closed the door

At an unexpected time and hourof the night

when light faded out 
and darkness descended
when all over me 
the icy chill began to creep  	
I slammed the windows and doors
tightly shut
and like a child crawled
into my padded bed,

while the winter gale

My shopping excursions to the local marts are very rare indeed.
My dear spouse does the shopping, I only go when in dire need.
I have no interest in fostering the foreign imbalance of trade,
Therefore, when I...

Damaging winds whip and slash, whirling wild, drenching rain,
Roads decimated come to standstill, as gushing floods reign,
Inundating swollen terrains, roiling deluge of a tenebrous day,
As trees bowing to gusting storms; erratically waltz and sway.

Houses naked...

simple statement of truth that Mothers do not age,
boundless love for offsprings one of God’s gifts,

day or night, year on end, their service never ends,

Cyclone Cyclops


Abundant rain and profusion,
Darkness, wind and confusion,
Tempests; Cyclone is hungry
It tosses brick, man and sundry.

Womb of Heaven’s rupture
Bourne in wings of angry Nature
Celestial Dogs has set loose-
Pegasus too, broke the noose....

Topsy-turvy; Nature tumbles
‘Afore angry...

In a pathway by his window.
Time too is stopping this morning
With a longing to hear her voice.
She tiptoes, then stops, then tiptoes
Until she reaches the window.

Song in her...

align with the fabric of consuming sincerity,
find the adornment of internal beauty 
spread invisible film on deceptive external ugliness,
remove the distressing doubt that it can’t be irresistible.

An overwhelming humane faith...

She bathes my soul within her
Sanguine waters ardently
Inundating my senses whole
I become upon her embrace
We become one spirit aloof
Within both light and darkness
Depraving sharp hunting eyes
Perceiving the mirrors self image
Of high tribulation chiseled 
Stone falling...

Etched on these I saw the image of my marooned mind
Wandering  forlorn in the seamless smoky sky of sorrow.

Broken dreams drizzled from the melting morose clouds
Enmeshing...

clouds burst with shadowed fear
and i am encompassed in a deluging
rainfall

streaming with intense marvel, i seek 
not refuge from the pelting showers 
that envelope me in sorrow-
for i deserve to drown in my regret
