No Mark
No Mark
by Michael R. Burch
A wave implodes,
impaled upon
impassive rocks...
this evening
the thunder of the sea
is a wild music filling my ear...
you are leaving
and the ungrieving
winds demur...
telling me
that nothing returns
as it was before...
here where you have...

Soft-Spoken Sanity
I'm a very picky guy, getting involved
With my quality quantity
Oh oh look at how I have evolved
It's fantastic that it's reality
It's not a fantasy alone
And God answered His phone
No longer on my...

Stood in sight of all her unnerving ambiguities...

Transplant
by Michael R. Burch
You float, unearthly angel, clad in flesh
as strange to us who briefly knew your flame
as laughter to disease. And yet you laugh.
Behind your smile, the...

Safe Shores
A languorous morning
Nestled in between warm duvets, a goose feathered pillow or two…a luxury
A striped kitten, a beautiful shade of grey, on a windowsill grey too; purring, gentle breaths, authenticity so appealing
A glass...

There I was, missing her,
As she was lost somewhere in the snow,
The dead of winter encompassed her,
-slowly passed into oblivian.
There are no words to convey,
These inert...

As all shall stay, be it, so be it, without me
I have condoned myself to suicide
To death
To feel acceptance, the burge of pain, enlightenment
All with immediacy
As if i was but a figment of a whorish imagination
I often find myself the stranger among the...

Victims of Insurgency
Half choked by a rising paroxysm of rage, then nisus,
The brittle and mirthless smile on his face were pathetic,
A nonaged;
Amputated and broken with a heart big but beats quiet,
Suddenly, he sighed deeply, from a kind...

The Children of Twilight
I danced with death for a moment,
Dressed in a sheik metallic guise.
In the absence of life's petty presence,
Death spoke freely for a while.
In daily struggles, humanity forgets
The joke of life in his mirthless glee;
Bending low,...

Bitterness
A twinkle in her eyes tonight
evokes the thought that they invite,
though I recall, not long ago
my absence seemed more apropos.
The laughs that linger on her lips
bare more than many verbal slips -
the times they...

Frankenstein Rebounds
It started with a single thread,
something, someone once had said
something, for which I still felt dread
something, that I'd long thought dead
This thing, that would not leave my mind,
this thing, so mirthless and unkind
a mote in...

Houdini's Greatest Escape
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Securely bound within these the shackles of darkness!?
Submerged aneath their versions mirky waters
Swirling inside merely moments, left afore drowning....
Consciousness slipping away as thoughts of life
Drift through his mind this, colophons final touch
Highlighting every link...

Psychopath
At age three she was the baby who couldn't feel afraid
A life track was set out, just the way she was made
They tested her at eighteen, with images of blood and gore
No galvanic skin response,...

SALVATION ACCORDING TO FAITH

‘HELP, HELP!’, echoes of my voice I hear.
Over and over, impinge in my mind
Closer and closer, it gets so near.
Louder and louder my cries, my...

What If
In the corner café across from the sea
he sits alone reading his book
Thinking of love while drinking his tea
and memories of chances he never took
Her name resonates gently
recalling moments,
of cheek touched whispers
yet hands...

Backstabbers
There are people who make up misguiding lies,
use words to hurt, wound and paralyze,
they put up'walls or mountains to the skies,
of unscalable heights and unmeasurable size.
They set us adrift on a windless wave,
to spew...

Fortuitous Tutorial
Spirited meeting, don't faint

Only if it was easy as mending the book's spine
Rarely lurking demons...

Winter Blues - I Cry For Color
I shiver tears.
My joie de vivre;
summer esprit’s lemon zest,
lilac flirts and coral whispers
have escaped me ~
grievous gray
now flows through my veins.
I shiver melancholia,
entombed with my winter blues
in the dark dreamless hollow
