we didn't talk much, but our tongues touched,
we used to have sex a lot and 
it was so hot that it set my soul ablaze, 
and no, it wasn't...

not in the heart again
for chrissakes it's like Swiss cheese
decoffinated please I'm a yet ambulatory zombie

Not-So-Heroic Couplets
by Donald Trump
care of Michael R. Burch 

To outfox the pox: 
kill yourself first, with Clorox!

And since death is the goal, 
mainline Lysol! 

No vaccine?
Just chug Mr. Clean!

Is a cure out of reach?
Fumigate your...

CINDERELLA WHAT NOW

I’ve often seen you zoom past Mars,
Blonde hair flowing and blowing
In the breeze of the milky way,
And its trillions of stars.
I so longed for you to be mine,
I imagined us sitting in the...

'Helpless' is an adjective I never thought
my hand would write to describe the despair
that's wound its way deep inside my heart.
Honestly, I'm only the catalyst of my own life,
the taproot that strengthens my mindset,
my cornerstone,...

Compared with us, the kids today
Too little play and too much weigh.
Alone indoors they snack and sit
And buttons hit, while we stayed fit.

We'd quickly chores and homework do,
Then dash through doors to fun pursue,
To basketballs...

The nursery school teacher,
Who was my mum,
Enjoyed her job so, 
She was never glum.
Christopher was the lively...

Wizards of utopian flavored wizardry, exquisitely triumphs in every gamble beyond these doors, 
Flawless tangled reversed reflections, remain forever forbidden to thoughtless mentors, 
A cursed emotional seesaw bleeds and wrestles each end...

I

     You stare silently squinting
 through  your stained glass panes

Pulling aside sapphire drapes
 of somber samite and organdy
  
Lo, gazing mesmerized
a quixotic moon--
blithely blows kisses,
wryly winks
and coyly smiles--


 Yea,...

In a swirling mist inside my mind

Five tombs containing comatose swans

labeled Kindness, Caring, Courage, Love and Joy

Sweet nectar of my soul

Five weathered tombstones lie side by side

Marking where my goodness, the swans, have gone to...

Do you like to ride it high?

that you almost start to fly?

The low suffer most the blow of the law 
And no better do they fare with its flow:

Fortified towering walls surround
persons running through and fro
stature small and little feeble
only a fig tree available for him
yet, he ran too.

Shimmering shadow sinks sandy saffron shrouds  
Beneath azure skies, wispy wise wool clouds.

His seesaw
Unjust
Asymmetrical
Rocky terrain
Never level
Inequitable
Divergent existence
In his kingdom
He holds all
The power
Reigning over her
Exerting his
Diabolical supremacy
To tighten the chains
Around this slave 
Even tighter to ensure
That he always keeps
Her blind to his deception

With intense 
Prodigality
She showered him
With so...

As the sun ascends with scintillating splendour,
her brilliance reveals a land of fortune.
Luscious ambiance caresses my soul
and the warm, chasing wind tickles my hair.

She embraces me with her celestial temperament,
giggling like she controls the hand...
