Tonight, Let's Remember
by Michael R. Burch

July 7,2007 (7-7-7)

Tonight, let's remember the fond ways
our fingers engendered new methods to praise
the gray at my temples, your thinning hair.
Tonight, let's remember, and let us draw near...

vibrations fondle anticipation
foreplay wakes wide-eyed 
swells of liquid libido quake the rendezvous edge -
a primordial being in his prime
a masculine ego quest for affaire d’amour;
her night-loving body

Walking past each other and just by chance
My heart skips a beat and my knees turn weak
Your eyes lock with mine in a fleeting glance
In a ricochet of emotion I just cannot speak 

Our time...

Not a day goes by I don't think of you
you have permeated my fortress and walk freely in all its rooms
(examining it's furnishings)
how did I allow you entry without the

Through the hushed whisper of the breeze
Flowing through the majestic circling pine trees
I sense that I have stepped
Into a sacred hallowed space

Euphoric, Exhilarating, Enticing, Ethereal comes to...

Shattered glass scattered across an empty room, an empty floor
darkness closing in rapidly, where has the light gone
which direction is the way out
Romeo...;Juliet...is that you calling out my name
Romeo...;Juliet...I'm here, please don't walk away
Romeo...;Juliet...please hear...

"Ghostlike"



Through dreams
I visit you ghostlike
in disguised ways I speak 
silent thoughts to you
I breathe them lifelike
into your dreamlike
skies

astral in my mind
I hold you in

your heart fluttering
like a lost...

We’re funny, you and I.
By age six, we played together on an island.
Never knowing, never fathoming,
Nine years later we’d meet again – like a message in a bottle.
This time in another country. On another continent.
Though...

Lyrics are timed to music 

Out there - a distant shore
I’ve seen your face before
It’s De’ja`vu with thoughts of you
Then feelings of a loss, come tomorrow

Sometime - another place
I’ve seen - your smiling face
It’s De’ja'vu...

HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY

Her hand’s swan-like dance,
ivory shadow puppets
romance. Hungarian rhapsody.

The musician sans existence
as emotive fingers move
imaginary marionettes
with splendiferous precision.

Drama drops onto piano keys
occasionally taking a gentle stroll
then in sensuous sway, sashaying
like an exotic dancer. The musician

plucks...

Afterglow
by Michael R. Burch
 
for Beth
 
The night is full of stars. Which still exist?
Before time ends, perhaps one day we’ll know.
For now I hold your fingers to my lips
and feel their pulse ... warm,...

Our lives produce such struggles
to which we must rise!
And often we find places
that from which we would run and hide.

The Egyptian standard falls, unto histories surrendering, 
The deserts breath, is so stilled,  under the Nile river's
Murky abyss, busted masts, heave against the 
Heavily laden hauls,taring the ships apart,
As the Egyptian fleet sinks beneath...

“The heaventree of stars” (in Ulysses as said Joyce)

The Starry Night, so treasured now, by Vincent van Gogh…

I dreamt upon a ocean shore
Beyond the norm
I open a strange unsecure door
The key that which held in my hand was once gold
Floating above my palm it's layers began to...

A tad over three blocks down Merion Lane
on the left is, an idyllic Cape Cod.
I must've passed it a thousand times
my own picturesque, perfect, postcard place
couched in the right light, dappling rays
fresh-painted, white fence, ruby...

I think there are universes scattered across time,
where you have pink hair and I have green eyes,
and we live together, and we don’t like grapes.
Star crossed universes where what you and I had

No one at home on Valentine’s Day, our lips were already locked.
Getting used to being alone, our plans would have left you shocked.

Helen, Troyless
by Michael R. Burch

"The face that launched a thousand ships..."

Helen, bright accompaniment,
accouterment of war as sure as all
the polished swords of princes groomed to lie
in mausoleums all eternity...
