No Mark
No Mark
by Michael R. Burch
A wave implodes,
impaled upon
impassive rocks...
this evening
the thunder of the sea
is a wild music filling my ear...
you are leaving
and the ungrieving
winds demur...
telling me
that nothing returns
as it was before...
here where you have...

Transplant

You float, unearthly angel, clad in flesh
as strange to us who briefly knew your flame

Ode To Bobby Fischer
Child of darkness, child of scorn,
the devil danced when you were born,
for demon seed from Morphy passed,
would haunt your days ‘til everlast.
Predestined to die derelict,
an iso-pawn so cynical,
how cruel a fate awaits the one
that conquered...

Seasons
I met you in the spring
when flowers peeked shyly from beneath tiny buds
when the grass was struggling to restore its
magnificent green
birds singing so sweetly lyrical tunes that drifted
into azure skies...

Antiquated Lady's Bout With a Blizzard
An old lady sat near a window, near a window looking out.
With her radio going she sat there sewing, with an occasional look about.
On her thumb she wore a thimble, as she pulled the thread...

Rebirth of My Rigour and Vigour
Cycles of life stream reams of joy and pain
Alternating nets and magnets of sunshine and rain
Sifting through rest and strain
When by default I favour a fault
That in my right sense I should halt

Charcoal Spirits
A lone black crow
sits on a limb of a tree
amongst a crowd of trees
that surround the townhouses.
The trees' silhouettes
are drawn on the brick;
on the shingled roofs;
by the Sun this Late January.
The dark...

Careless Talker
Careless talker
When emotions are
Bottle up in side
We long to be hug
But still make it hide
But comes a day
We let our guards down
And then some can use it
To do you so wrong
I read a verse from...

Wokery, no just jiggery pokery
Febrile Fog obfuscates palimpsest varnished promises..
Naysayers hoodwinked... deluded players peeling layers..denuded..
Deafening din of our chagrin...
Espoused by rabbles roused by mandarins’ sins..
Tarnished...pampered pilferers pickpocketing public purses...
Deploring the warring cacophony of citizens curses..
Ignoring the boring nagging...

There is beauty in your absence
there is greatness in your silence
there is pain in your wishes
In your innards, there are dreams
Poetry and you are synonymous
I am synonymous...

And cleaned it with soap and water.
Then stood it on the living room floor:
A child’s easel for our daughter.
You would draw on it with a marker,

Some Decisions
Some decisions must be made
And they could be the wrong ones,
Since opinions may not jive
With yours and might be strong ones.
Everybody’s comfort level
Varies so completely,
Even with the facts, the pros and cons
Don’t line up neatly.
