Long Overshadows Poems

There must have been several of these incidents
Occurring in towns and cities all over the country
From month to month and from year to year
But to experience one at such a close range
Was enough to cause...

He finds me quietly inviting the light
To fall over my dreams, my prayers, the silence
Surrounding me with blankets of memories,
Lifting my thoughts from their wistful reveries,
Delicious darkness, so delicate, tempting me to see
Life is sometimes...

Suicide
Life doesn’t always give us what we want
Hearts get broken
Loss of loved ones
Falling deep into debt
Emotional ups and downs
Life as it’s said is not fair
But please compared to what
Lives messing up other lives
When the darkness...

Into the gloom
by Michael R. Burch

Into the gloom, beyond the point of caring, 
past fascist rows that stare and blanch and cross
and watch us always, by the sunset's flaring, 
we watch our footprints vanish. Sponge-like...

Now listen, 
you called me a Souper nova missing the pun, 
being clever with words ain’t for everyone,

Growing up with ADHD forces you to adapt,
impulsive behaviour controls how you react,
attention span wanders and naturally distracts,
you face an impact, that in fact, doesn't change how you act.

Turns your face red but still you...

Exterior space is interior time,
both survivalist-competitive and thrivalist-cooperative.

The economic cooperative median technician, transactor,
is also the...

I


I see you wearing your green hijab.
Looking mysterious as the desert under the red sun
And I start to tremble with joy. If you only knew…
As you walked near me, I smell roses under the morning...

Time To Shower...When Pervasive Odor Of Ureic Acid

Doth strongly waft, sting,
and nauseate about me
olfactory nose flying zone
bombarding cilia of
nasal passageway analogous
to displeasure wrought by

crashing, deafening, exploding,
ear splitting xylophone,
also synonymous isolated like
barenaked lady within
remote location of...

Remember – He is there
In every single prayer
Reassuring and healing, fulfilling
Hearts and souls with tenderness
Providing hope that is like a smile,
Freeing light into the thoughts,
Inviting music, beautiful so alive
Smiles, so pure they inspire
The night, -...

Community, do you remember that
Our rapidly changing world, has stripped community from behind our backs

Technology connects us across the globe
But sometimes isolates us within our own minds, at home

Our smartphones and social media promise connection
Yet...

I come before you, proclaiming you're Brother
Or Sister in Christ's death, that Eve was our Mother
Though you claim (in faith too) that my Truth’s your falsehood!

"MY SPIRITUAL BATTLE"

I miss who I once was and use to be
Bound by darkness, longing to be set free
Trapped by solitude, surrounded by pain
Nothing but heartache and sorrow to gain

A spiritual warfare, raging from within

Humanity Upon the Falling

Catastrophic predictions for humanities future
Another universal wound that needs an international suture 
A forced appropriation into sacred laws and culture 
A non linear approach to living by an exhibitionist social vulture

When sorrow overwhelms you,
And, pain is like the oldest friend,
Remember, when you’re down,
This isn’t where the battle will end.

When worries leave you fearful,
And, the clouds just won’t break,
Don’t forget – there in that sky,
Abides a...

Still, and again
“Ogongo” crept into my mouth
As I behold the two nocturnal creatures

We have waited endlessly
No longer in my Aunt’s place,
But we became unsolicited watchmen
At the streets gate entrance
It was an ungodly hour 
Darkness had...

You and Me...

You and me, seemed to always be,
Like the colors of autumn,
Rhythmic as the birch’s quiet gold,
And, the breathless scarlet of a maple’s smile.
Forever dancing in the winds, so calming,
Pouring out joy across the...

The bias for balance is ignored, as reason takes its flight.
Disregarding the light of truth, madness steers the moral tales,
Woven through repetitive histories, hearts are...
