Pagans Protest the Intolerance of Christianity
by Michael R. Burch

Poems About Adam, Eve, Lucifer, Eden and the Fall
Poems about Adam, Eve, Lucifer
Eden
by Michael R. Burch
Then earth was heaven too, a perfect garden.
Apples burgeoned and shone, unplucked on sagging boughs.
What, then, would the children eat?
Fruit indecently sweet,
redolent as incense, with a tempting aroma...

Marlino
Two, perhaps three miles out to sea, beyond the reef to Zapatillas,
Bocas’ dual sand-edged footprint jewels with jungle centre trees,
Francesco’s outboard boat heads out to Caribbean’s deeper blue.
Where sun burns softer gringo skin, but...

The Worm Poem Sequel
She was in love
Their expression of it
Was the perfection of it
The way they shared
What they had
Was beyond compare
Today is the next step
Towards their future
Today they bought a house
Overwhelmed
Overjoyed
Her...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 12
His words stung me, as the cries from the maelstrom seem to retort
Their scattered, foreign words and wails retching their say
I listened, almost mesmerized,
Pulverized
“Come,” Said he,
With threatening authority
Upwards, higher than the balcony from which we...

The Mask of Labradorite
Thrice the night—the day!—both fell to sleepless slumber,
But now in Spring, though yet again: The third was three in number.
I sense a wince remind itself,
Of what it means to be,
Instead to beg for booked...

The Monroe Moon
In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust
pseudo-princess-pleasure-seekers
—drama daring...

The Nightmare - Henry Fuseli
In vibrations of virtual whispers,
I found her under a satin sunset,
chained to an eerie entity, digging,
its claws into her silken spirit.
Yet behind her dim eyes - I saw
tiny flames of fuchsia and gold
and...

The Sacred Totum
Hear the screeching of the Nighthawk, as its talons grapple
At the tail ends of the moon's rising, dragging it ever upwards, unto
The center of the blackened shroud, of the universe.
This celestial light casts illusion's rays...

Deep Within the Ecstasy of Love
Deep within the ecstasy of love
I breathe a wisp, enchantment, as on satin sheets we lie
The comfort of your silken skin my dream
Lips so soft and tender as the heavens wander by
Pleasure lives within...

Heart's Peace
There were days when I looked back
And could only see… pain, desperation, darkness
Following me from the ancient feelings
The past where I was no longer present
A place of pain, abuse, so destructive
There were those days when...

The Woodland Sage
In a realm far and distant from our own, An ancient forest lay, its secrets unknown. A world where magic and nature entwined, Its spirits and essence not easily defined.

Where Waiting Lives
It was one dusky evening.
I stood at my balcony,
The weather whispering secrets in a chill breeze
Beautiful, cold, and a little stormy,
The kind of weather that makes you feel
Everything you've been avoiding.
Despite the wind howling like...

The Prismatic Self
I write because silence was a tyrant
with a velvet muzzle.
Because childhood was a soundproof cage,
and I was taught to swallow every scream
like communion.
“Poetry is not therapy,”
the judge says—
but he has never been buried alive
under the...

Oval
An oval shape—a ghostly pane,
A frame of whispers, soft refrain.
It hung in quiet, out of view,
Where silence slept and shadows grew.
I glimpsed “the oval window, a portal to another dimension,”
A whispered truth beyond convention.
Glass like...

Interstellar Reverie
Sipping aromatic coffee on my duty break
I glanced beyond the hazy vapors
outside toward the isolated runway;
under moonlit sky giant aircraft at standstill.
Despondent like me they seemed outside,
Inside my zestful mind seemed free,
While I wondered...
