Long Reignite Poems

you were an infant
i would sing a song i created for you

'there's a baby in my arms
there's a baby in the mirror
but honey 
there's not really two
the child in the mirror
is only 
an image

Swept up into piles; everywhere 
Abouts; in collected heaps all 
Around.               
It is almost as if the drab 
Streets were strewn...

Ledger of Love

In the dim-lit chambers of the Victorian home,
Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome.
Once, love’s flame burned bright within her breast,
But now a thin whisp, a ghostly jest.

Her gaze averts from her...

stones
by michael r. burch


i.
far below me lies a village
with its houses hewn from stone
and though Everyman who lives there
bravely claims he’s not alone,
i can tell him, yes u are!
for u cannot touch the stars

Fire's Out

Walking through the woods one day
I met a dragon in dismay
I didn't know that they could talk
So thought I'd carry on my walk

But as I passed I heard a hiss
A voice that said I'll...

Listen 
I’ve got an indisputably effective plan
And it’s fundamentally and philosophically correct, man

The  Giant  Who Became A Monster


So long ago, it had been slowly but surely tucked away.
Though reluctantly at first, it was clearly packed away to stay.
This giant once had a hold on me,...

"MAGIK"


True Power arrives when 
Magik is delivered,
felt and seen
in the cracked and lonely, 
the lost hearts broken, that believe

true power
two as one

A quill is the first token
Mirror potent conductor 
transfers spells through
open windows reflection

Sometimes you can love with all you have. 
Yet it is never enough to capture a heart. 
Sometimes the love fades away over the years. 
Hearts are broken without words even spoken. 

How can it...

Yes, that is the role of the Teacher, as Shams was to
me – showing one ‘who they are’, so they can stop
bleating, crying at night, and never again be afraid.
Rumi

Oh beloved,
I'm like Rumi without Shams.

An entire world at my fingertips searching for a crack
so it can flow through it and cast a new face
on the world we live in today
Where does it lead, none may know

The path led to rose bushes cul de sac.
Early in the morning, we sat down to rest.
Dewdrops are still shining on the track.
At our feet, a swarm of ladybugs, deft. 
Petrichor arose as the July rains...

In a moment, a lapse of anguish
Through the sanded markets that
The mind implored.
Dust coughed up
And crystallised silence;
Each moan and cry
Of every wrapped face
Became a whisper,
As blood might echo an unheard drip
Into a lake of cold...

My heart felt old; I sought the cold.
Canada’s land was what I planned.
Among trees grand and far inland
To dance my sad brand of sarabande.
Yet precious moments come when joy flowers,
Far briefer than Four-O’clocks,
As resurrected visions...

Oh beloved,
I'm like Rumi without Shams.
A shivering summer soul,
secretly stalked by wild white winter wolves.
A chiffon child chiselling chimerical calligraphy,
cursed with invisible ink, silent in sentimental sighs.
I've become the son of solitude,
tired from torture and...

In the glow of your blue eyes,
A spark ignites the sky
With laughter, warmth and grace,
You light up every stage
Thank you for your gentle heart,
Inspiring me to play my part
Your smile’s a shooting star,
You have changed...

In the heart of fallen forests we stand,
an ocean of shadows slides beneath us,
leaves of light, threads of dusty time,
and in that dense silence, an old murmur
begins to tell the tale of our forgetfulness.
They tell...

When the flame of passion 
flickers out.
Seducing the mind & ravaging 
the body.

Sweeping the rhyme of reason 
precluding nothing of the 
mind's ability. 
Only desire can reignite 
the flame of burning passion.

The unique ticking &...
