Spiritual Mahjong Your Move LordSpiritual Mahjong
Your Move Lord
Is there a God?
A benevolent entity.
An eternal presence presiding over me.
A creator, watching and observing.
All knowing.
Is my end determined and conclusive before it begins, before I begin?
If so, then to what purpose...

The world

Summer
Sweet
little
dream
missing
all those other
beautiful
small dreams
seen as toys
small and
inconsequential

disposable play,
things

The Payload
"The Payload"
The payload

like rain expelled
from the fat belly
of a ruinous pregnant cloud
bilious with buxom promise
it came crashing down

Poems About FlowersLady’s Favor
by Michael R. Burch
May
spring
fling
her riotous petals
devil-
may-care
into the air,
ignoring the lethal
nettles
and may
May
cry gleeful-
ly Hooray!
as the abundance
settles,
till a sudden June
swoon
leave us out of tune,
torn,
when the last rose is left
inconsolably bereft,
rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

Frequency
“Frequency”
we are separated
from the others
by a thin membrane
electromagnetic
we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own
frequency
existing to be lit
the fuses touching
reaching delicately
that which we do
and do not see,
believe
answers embedded

Roses and LilacsWinter
by Michael R. Burch
The rose of love's bright promise
lies torn by her own thorn;
her scent was sweet
but at her feet

and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

Pursuit of Infinite Knowledge and Understanding(In a Lush Garden Somewhere Out There)
The student stands where shifting sands of thought
Once firm with reason
now elusive truths are sought.
Its splendor wanes
a threadbare fading strand,
A quest for wisdom
in this digital land.

Regret
by Michael R. Burch
Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear...
once starlight
languished
in your hair...
a shining there
as brief
as rare.
Regret,
a pain
I chose to bear...
unleash
the torrent
of your hair...
and show me

The Fallen
“The Fallen”
Remote,
he sees himself
in the reflection of cold close
yet distant shop windows,
his final journey along the
Hard Time Road
walking alone,
unforgiven, no home
for the rest of his natural life

"The Sleeper and The Supernaturalist"
The Sleeper
shone as she walked
through the Woods
shining alive
like nothing
natural could
caught
in the moonlight
unaware
the innocent
red-caped roses stared
the trees whispered,
"beware, beware"
barefoot softly
the Supernaturalist
transfigures instead
from under shine
