You
by Michael R. Burch
For thirty years You have not spoken to me;
I heard the dull hollow echo of silence
as though strange communion between us.
For thirty years You would not open to me;
You remained...

Willy Nilly
by Michael R. Burch
for the Demiurge aka Yahweh/Jehovah
Isn’t it silly, Willy Nilly?
You made the stallion,
you made the filly,
and now they sleep
in the dark earth, stilly.
Isn’t it silly, Willy Nilly?

Save Me From Myself
{"It’s 4:05 pm, darkness is mending over the horizon, the city, I’m fighting and thrashing against the flames that shroud. With secrets yet to resign, they dwindle at nightly dusk as it topples over.

An Early Morning Walk On the Beach
I awoke after hearing a noise on the roof of the cottage, it sounded like a couple of seagulls, probably fighting over a piece of bread.
I was wide awake now and looked over at the...

Along Dry Path
Am I fitful,
fluctuating, fluid?
thin compass waver
as I jubilantly weave
lilac tree vignettes
that weep or chortle,
rainbow figment curtain
rashly wished upon
in grain smudge zephyr
garnet sand raw vehicle
garden common opal
transit sidestep
to a multiverse
of sappy...

Spring starts the year with soft flowers
Sometimes brought with gentle showers
Air fragrant with scents that devours
Hues so bright and bold that glowers
Green grass which also empowers
Rabbits hide in brush and cowers
Blue skies show their calming...

The richness of my love defies belief
Luxuriant and silky are my dreams
With warmth and passion sweet I hover near
Caressing hands and kisses flow in streams
I nourish hunger of the deepest kind
The darkest secrets of your...

Society is wrong
college is too long

like snookies thong, its junk

that cant release till 2 beers
Youve smeared your smirk

Drip
Drop
Water drop cascades under sapphire afterglow
Undoing 4 month deprivations
Muffled moans surround crimson fireplace
Crackling of fire
Thrusts of skin
Retinal vibrations shutter her pilot light deep within
She ascended to blue moon heights
As embers of his inferno
Bow in collective...

Respect Life
Hearing distant cries,
Hope you hear my demise

Armageddon heven began to rise,
Evil had no disguise,
Man idolize the warning of the wise
About the valley of the beast,
Where the red moon set east

Sons of Beelzebub
Call forth the war
Call forth a cunning shroud of aptitude
Bring down the damnation
Extinguishing the virtuous spender
Thy father of darkness, brightness
Let me call forth the dawn of a new era
Bringing down satire upon the blaspheme
Draining their...

Trump and His Hot Seat
Trump and His Hot Seat
Trump has a hot seat that is a scorcher
Many times people has tried to torture
With remarks he made which would cut
Simply can't keep his big mouth shut.
Several times with eyes we...

Morning, Noon, and Night, Delight
Mostly, she had the heebie jeebies, peaking at early risers
Outside, morning was muted with its first faint flush
Right before bristled being, allure of dawn shook her
Noah's voice and patriarchs of old floated by
Imagine those coils;...

The Emptiness of Heart
The emptiness of heart,
because it was driven apart.
Her conscience tells,
Never listen those yells.
is it missing of a soul,
or just the ashes of coal.
all she needed was the calm,
or be worried about the storm,
or think,
just about...

Torment of the Mind: Part Two
Everything in the past that could get her down
Plays in her mind to the sound
Of sweet torture.
It's a scorcher
Like the burning suns rays on a hot day
Traumatic thoughts must have his way
Burn those memories!
Don't allow...

Minefield
I wish I could navigate the minefield of my mind
Its corners dark and undefined.
One step too far, it all explodes
It explodes, my being erodes.
I walk through slowly with a hopeful face
Behind me, anxiety soon...

Emphasized
The quiet of the early morn
Emphasized by doves' songs
And crickets chirpinng melodies
To Beethoven belongs
Above a canvas painted bright
Done by the Master's hand
Blues so clear and bright and pinks
Now unknown to man
Just enough wispy clouds...

Scorcher- In the Faraway
I walk alongside the seashore crimson,
Reflection of the twilight of sky,
That precedes the raunchy and beamy night,
Moon shines and stars dance around.
Sickle of moon slivers my heart,
Playing hide and seek, discover my soulmate,
Under vastness of...

Humid and hot
Scorching parking lot

Badminton and horseshoes
Green grass
Oaks and...

Modern Living
Which social travail must we suffer
Food banks and rampant inflation
Hunger and energy poverty
go hand in hand
We have our Hitler beasts again
Putin in the Ukraine

Chameleon Boris

and a PM who...

Auto-Inflicted Torture
One day I woke up and started
hating myself.
I could've tried harder.
Someday I will dwell on the
past.
I only seem smarter.
With seconds to spare.
I'll peer through the looking
glass.
If only I'd bother.
My judgement is foggy.
Mentally...

Echoes
Out on the porch in morn's coolness
Echoes of a symphony sing
Doves a hollow wind slowly blown
Mockingbirds a tambourine
Song bird voices violin strings
Gently struck with a bow
As a soft illuminating
Yellow sun rises so slow
Stillness hovers; only...
