Long Run a risk Poems

I have no desire to be burned at the stake
Simply practicing...

Am I a fool?
I'd run the risk of losing you, just to get some sort of unspoken point across.
However,
fool or not,
you haven't been fair, 
and I deserve better.
I have been the best I can be...

My Apologies, Sona
by Gulzar
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

My apologies, Sona,
if traversing my verse's terrain
in these torrential rains
inconvenienced you.

The monsoons are unseasonal here.

My poems' pitfalls are sometimes sodden.
Water often overflows these ditches.
If you stumble and...

Instead of what of them
Shout out to my cousins
Damn look what the cat drug in
People often buggin'
Another useless discussion
They say it all comes a dime a dozen
Endlessly fussin'
Fighting over an english muffin
Usually from one being...

Put down the guns, lay down the knives
We are losing too many of our young lives,
The violence that you’re watching on TV

So bad, that in thinking about it,
you feel this huge well of tears rising up?
But you push it down,
pull the plug from the drain…
since you need to be where you...

I wonder why we are so selective?

Selective in what we hear…
Selective in what we see…
Selective in what we say…
Selective in what we read…

Why?
Why do we pick and choose and run the risk of misunderstanding others?...

When we speak today we tend to look at words as a necessary constant with limitations of their own rather than a completely different cosmos in which we have the ability to traverse and discover.

With shoe cast eyes
buried in inaccuracies of leather life lines,
and no cries to shatter walkmans sheath,
we traverse those macadam’s,
hoping to slip beneath
all the broken flowers that pray for sun,
as they wilt in the gutters
ignored by...

One thousand, eight hundred and twenty-three
That's a crap load of poems I've scribed
Still got that many and a whole bunch more
You might think I silently imbibe

Don't need no joy juice to write these gems
They literally...

Said Sid the salacious salamander
To Ted the tedious toad,
Look over there and take a gander
There’s something on the road.

Where are you looking? Point to me
Because I don’t see anything there.
Are you sure that there’s something...

Remember the days not long ago
When most people were actually polite
Men would open doors for the ladies
Strangers would wish you goodnight

Drivers would wave another car through
Though they were late for a meeting
Men would get up,...

We Diss, Then Cancel

August 5, 2020

Do all run the risk of being canceled today,
Or is this an addition to millennial word play?
We take up a sign when thinking things offend,
we assassinate character and...

Tame the treacherous TRESSES.
BEFORE battling BRAVE BEAST
IN IRONIC INTENSE IMPRESSIVE
DANGEROUS  DUNGEONFUL  DREAMS.

Survival suits her
and for those
who pay attention,
who look closely,
it’s in the way she moves.
The way she talks. 
The way she carries herself.

She has a flame 
burning inside her
sparking a fire in you.
