Where Does the Butterfly Go?
by Michael R. Burch

when hailstones scream,
when winter scowls,
when nights compound dark frosts with snow ...

The Forgotten God
The forgotten god
Whose rage should burn hotter
than mine; melt the noon day sun,
dry up all thy rivers, scorch the earth, that
thy crops may burn to ashes before
thine eyes, and the heat from the
very earth...

South Africa 2019
A country of dreams has burst its rainbow at all ragged seams
In a state of affairs illusion of fusion and widespread delusion
The constitution hallucinates as night settles scores of deceit
Bereavement takes its toll in anger...

we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which...

God Bless
We as soul, are living light
Complete but yet an infant
Shaped by God, in His image
We reside in bliss of heaven
But as a receptor, not creator
God wishes that we be as He
So immerses us into duality...

My Affair With a Frost Flower State of Affairs
There’s a beguiling danger in beauty…

of sun-raptured heavenly hills and valid valleys
to be a lush, plush place...

Jody Cundy
Jody took an explicit anger rage
In London, at the 2012 Paralympics,
Which everyone knew about, did rage,
Threw his water bottles about, tactics.
He wanted the technical delegate, ICU,
To call the error a sad technical fault,...

The owl and I

The heavens above and together we see
We see as two the clouds are touched with cerise,

The Last Organ Grinder
Between paper-soft
worlds of fragile
imaginations,
I float upon those
gossamer tulips
that split every
second of saccharine
musings and
eclipsed confessions,
distinguishing all
photoelectric synonyms
of lachrymose
stimuli towards
glassy manipulations
of blood-fragranced sun.
Everything that is
sown...

The Song of the Khayin
“Glory! Great honour shall be mine!
Wenestl shall be last of his dastard line!
Sword unsheathed and bow taut-strung,
We rest not while a Norvajael stays unhung!”
Over glen and trail the quaver spread;
The Ilken sought sheaths of hapless...

as identityless presence
we cognise that what is
what was and what will be
is aliveness as awareness

as the life essence of self
the self we...

Here we are, not knowing what to say
To each others' face, as we both are confused
Which face do we say it to?
The faces we show, or the ones we hide?
We put the niceties on display,...

The Ships Have Set Sail
Silently waiting amidst the full moon's sink'd smile,

Seemingly dead eyes, tear’d and wash’d and wash’d,
Flow of glaciers and broken crevasse - a sacred fig, lost?
No. yellow clouds; damn’d...
