(Years of structured lessons simmer beneath my skin.)

The most important thing is that I'm drowning in metaphors. 
Being a poet shapes reality, and twists what you...

The walls are imprisoned in silence,
A heavy, powerless silence, shattered
By voices, tears, and crowded souls.
Justice hides in the corridors of greed,
Crimes are sentences uttered in the halls,
The innocent are moving targets,
An age-old burden on the...

today I exist as a vapor then I am no more
some may equate logic for fear that brings nothing near
my chest is heavy and my pulse is setting in
yesterday was such an easy game we...

A cold triumph, cloaked in mantles of pure logic,
That suffocates the whispers of hearts, lost in the echo of sterile...

Poetic Forms: Concrete

First betold,
for here are the I's,
it's not that we're parentless,

from the onset, then afterward,
mom just left us to...

Poems for Poets VI



Caveat
by Michael R. Burch

Steadfast, he, as fortress guarded
In his ivory tower slept 
Fearing naught, though faith-departed
Knowing not his lover wept.
Cowardice, thought long-discarded
Secretly in silence crept
Corroded, as if silver, tarnished 
‘Twas his heart - her only quest.

Haunting, held-yet lamentations...

with poems set to music to advise, console.

The Trail Of Tears.

The snow fell when the long knifes came
Savages who robbed the sacred homelands 
And buffalo slaughtered bloody plains
Men woman and children the old and lame
Frog marched against their will

I'm sitting in the garden
With my small son on my knee
He looks up at me with big brown eyes
And says “Tell me about Granda's tree”

My father planted a tree 
In nineteen forty two
He nurtured it...
