Distances
by Michael R. Burch
Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.
Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

The Thought Splinters
What's in writing?
What makes one to author something from the absolute scratch?
What is the science of this art?
Is it just the perceptible version of the human thought or something-deep lies within this solemn form of...

Unforgettable-Based On Silent One's Poem
One day I decided to go and sit in the park.

Rain Song
Densest fog hovers over the mountains,
Blue ridges reformed, now steely,
Gray as the moment just before dawn,
When silence bleeds her dreams
Through the still, cool light
Graceful as the sigh,
Wistful as the music’s rhythm
Sustenance for fires,
Breathed from...

As Summer Evolves
As summer evolves,
With heat and despair,
The boy I once knew,
Gazes up in the air,
He's enamored by freedom,
The choices supplied,
By three months vacation,
And magic implied,
Some friends are around,
Some travel with kin,
While others do nothing,
Or indulge in...

My favorite word. . . now what could that be?
To choose it, I have to think so carefully.
If I choose by its meaning, I simply can’t find
one word most important; this boggles my mind.

like late-afternoon sunbeams
that settled on rose petals 'dust

That light was still glowing bright
Like a freshly washed...

Sepulchral Whispers: a Plathian Annabel Lee Redux
In the shade and slip of paternal seas,
a daughter dwells, known to all,
consumed in thought by maternal deceits.
Angel's flared bells blow a squall,
in protest of her love for only me.

A decree was sent throughout the land;
All must return to their town of origin
For the count, to pay taxes to Caesar of Rome.
Besmirch by others, shunned by kin;

Artiste
Artiste, she paints in breathless strokes,
Dedicated to the art, the flow,
Colors alive, blushing in bold and bashful caresses,
Lifting the heart, soothing as laughter.
Artiste, she splatters the canvas with hope,
Grace captured on the bare canvas,
Home to...
