Long Nadia Poems

Salvation of a Formalist, an Ode to Entropy
by Michael R. Burch

Entropy?
God's universal decree
That I get to be
Disorderly?
Suddenly
My erstwhile boxed-in verse is free?
Wheeeeee!



Eternal Currents

How can I write and not be true
to the rhythm...

Sonnets XLII-LI

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...

Drop picture till six
The land like Pokémon kills
Nearing a tornado’s kiss?

Lift picture to three
The earth seems a lot different
 And looks extreme wilderness!

Turn picture upward
Rapid rivers dash inward
Floods hit mountains and stumble! 
 
See Ottoman...

With all what you are. ..I simply loved you...
I understood you...Not only with your talking words..
But when you said nothing at all...I tried to take...

Twilight Of Spirituality

The world was dark
Before the Islam
Prophet after prophet came to the world
But the glory was very short
The twilight of spirituality had never stayed so long
They worshiped in wrong way
It was the time when...

Saying Happy Birthday to you
Really flatters you and me too

Wishing you a joyous day
Memorable… Never to fray

Do enjoy every bit of it
Until you fall in love with it
One hundred years run it
Lug your pail and...

Where to? Just to walk?
Dressed in long garment like ghost?
A question mark in purse… gold!?

She preferred a walk!
Missed her crooked edgy boat!
Just went to walk down the road…

Looking at picture
In the hands of the painter

Talking To The Moon

From the window in my room
I was talking to the moon
O! Dear moon how are you
Shining queen on sky blue
Night is glowing with your light
I am happy in delight
What a calm and...

The sun shall rise again but
not in our season of songs this time, 
because we are strange to it glamouring light. 
We sparkle and shine not among its  Galaxy of hope,

Amazing what difference

cuz psyche temporarily

Enchanting Effect Of Nature

Nature caught my eyes
When I was a child
About the age of six, seven
I used to go to Heaven
Enchanting effect of nature when revealed upon me
Trivial things of nature created the Heaven scene

You are a unique flower
This is how I keep you
In my heart forever
Until the sunset waves goodbye

You dwell now in the heart of Jesus Christ
Since with your strongest faith and blissful honor
You pleased...

See the map of that
Nineteen sixty seven had 
Visible picture’s woman!

At her wedding or
A mass of first communion?
See her rosy crown? Prayer!

Mona Lisa is
A scroll?! Painted with valid
Fervent ink of different pin?!

Was she mute’s besiege!
Speaking...

Sketching a slope line
From sunset to zigzag’s hive!
Crying beaches under sky!

As shown in Mona’s 
Left eye, crying lavenders
And sweet melodies cry Christ!

Where Mount Carmel sighs
Sweet wrinkled gardens to cry?
Reigns safe in the heart of Christ…

Letting my body perfectly free
As anonymous star in the sky’s sea 
While whirling, I closed my eyes
Lit the Holy Candle inside
As light as an air
When losing my existence 
As I am a wind
Or a particle...

Songstress
by Michael R. Burch
 
for Nadia Anjuman
 
Within its starkwhite ribcage, how the heart
must flutter wildly, O, and always sing
against the pressing darkness: all it knows
until at last it feels the numbing sting
of death. Then...

My happiness is your true smile.. My tear is your sadness..
My ache is your pain..  My fear is you disappointment..
You are my everything.. Big and small…everything said and untold..
The more you push me away......

Mona Lisa is
Looking directly with fizz
Loving life more than slaying 

Her bent left arm looks
Curving as rushed water goes
Few miles into Sinai cove

Her left side’s dark cheek
A map of bliss’ Middle East
Tsunami comes to seek...

America, so vast and the land of the free
Brazil, carnivals and beach beauties

Canada, untouched, with the mighty Niagara Falls
Denmark, with the mermaid, luring sailors with her call

Egypt, under Cleopatra, and her historical power
France, so romantic...

She misses Europe
Since her anointed head’s hope
Lingers goodness of land’s womb

The backyard’s pale fears 
Massive mountains of king Leer!
Kristiansand in atmosphere!?
 
Her head is the globe
Turning from left to right’s orb
Her eyes tests a great...
