The Tender Weight of Her Sighs
The Tender Weight of Her Sighs
by Michael R. Burch
The tender weight of her sighs
lies heavily upon my heart;
apart from her, full of doubt,
without her presence to revolve around,
found wanting direction or course,
cursed with the thought...

Heat Lightening
Heat Lightening
by Michael R. Burch
Each night beneath the elms, we never knew
which lights beyond dark hills might stall, advance,
then lurch into strange headbeams tilted up
like searchlights seeking contact in the distance . . .
Quiescent unions...

in the dark earth, stilly.

If You Can'T Comment On My Poetries, Can'T You At Least Deign To Comet On Them
Scribal notions these, and oh so sorrowful,
But, despite their seeming poignance they are not additionally puissant, no.
I have seem them, wrapped in warmed and moist leaves:
No, not the leaves as pages of books, as...

What Love Means
I knew what love is from my mom, my first sensation
Before I could grasp its meaning, I sensed that emotion
I enjoyed it in breadth and depth as a babe from my mom
She wiped away my...

Wartime
Walking this path.
Once populous,
Now desolate
Ambushed!
An unspeakable ambush
Now you're travailing
Just inhaling and exhaling
Breathing!
The precious breath of life
Spiritual bombs are colluded
Progression and motion momentarily occluded
Building a fortress amid blasts
Days and nights of praying and long fasts...

Standing Upon Timeless Thoughts
Incongruent realities thru timeless mist,
Pursuant pleasures are truly missed…
Forever looking within horizons lost,
Endeavor endless of loves tossed…
Hearts broken between blackened veils,
Parts shattered leaving lachrymal trails…
Secluded symphonies were quietly playing,
Occluded occupants of sacrificial slaying…
Time displacing illusions...

Grinding to a halt his jaws clenching and crunching

A Farewell To Wind
apologies to E. H.
"Blow, blow, ye western wind... Christ, that my love were
in my arms and in my bed again"
Once she hated it, like Hemingway's Catherine
hated rain, (I see myself dead in it)....

One Religion
All is written by the same hand;
Our God is the same God,
Who is everything,
Who is nothing.
Jesus and Buddha sought the same thing;
All major religions are the same
But different cultural aspects
Make descriptions that are...

Askance
And the cemetery was thunderstruck,
so was I.
Cold, gray, March evening—
winds pushing the clouds
spewing slanting icy rain,
with a low angry murmur.
From the traffic signal I saw you,
standing firm on the ground
your neck stretched upward,
looking directly...

Athens Shall Burn For the 3rd Time
The three hundred
shall perish again,
As history repeats
itself.
Although this time,
it may only be 297.
My mother was
possessed by the
God, Apollo,
On the 21st the new
Oracle of Delphi is
crowned.
And although the
prophet is blind,
it makes the
prediction no less
false,
the narrative no
less...

A Walk Through the Snowy Copse
Into the snow white castle only tepid feet bound
Head mirror of quilted bed reflects a glimmering compound
Satin blanket spreads over each frozen mound
A blinding glare from the silted bed doth rebound
With each heavy step mist...

It wonders most powerfully and unceasingly anent the security of
These notebooks containing these selfsame poetic works;
And I hope also, that asleep and secured is how...

We Can'T Work It Out
Everytime I bring up the subject
We get caught in the loop
perpetually
It is as if we are frozen in this amber forever
forced to relive the same argument
time and time again

Love Symbolism
Catch that love
When it glides gleefully like a rock dove
Doesn't it cover the desolate abyss
Or gives love to see our bliss?
It speaks, greatest of speakers
Words that beacon ingenuity to goal seekers
Healing wounds of gloom and...

The usual guide posts have become unreadable,
Their stony font occluded as in an ancient riddle;
Glyphs without the Greek.
The road is marked one way, no returning traffic,
Its service islands marked - MRI, CT, CAT...

Night's Annual Wake
Blithe notes of Twilight's symphony alight
Into occluded abyss spindled cords take flight
Duller shades into harmonious bands unite
Grainy film spreads o'er recess a dank, dingy kite
Initiating eve's wake, ethereal blinds shut tight
Midnight's, chilling vigil stills darkened...

A 42 Regular
I believe,
therefore I breathe
the collective id down at
the mall.
Salvation in the actions of
our gridiron greats,
our pro golfers,
our game show cops,
our East Village actors,
our runway planes of even beauty
that some how forgives me,
bodes me on...

I Felt Trumped
There was a possibility of snow.
I looked out on a chilly white scene,
reflecting that extremes of weather are
matched by extremes of political fronts.
The season hangs its head
under a burden.

When Love Breaks the Sky
Weaken pillars of the sky
Underneath are captured lies
Truth cracks and splits apart
Thus was buried a broken heart.
Life bleeds from empty love
Misery felt by a carefree shove.
Sky has fallen, no support of trust
What was...
