Grandma, the Farm and the Silent Young Cat

Grandma, The Farm And The Silent Young Cat

Before soft golden rays the roses slept
Night, its slumbers had not yet bid adieu
From its barn perch the young, silent cat leapt
Upon the old farmer's empty brown shoe
And...

A Man of Few Words

(woman)"Just cause I didn't smile at you
Just cause I didn't wave
I'll not wear feelings on my sleeve
That's no way to behave.

But it could be, that I like you 
Maybe like you quite a lot
You won't...

The Contrast

In slumbering slope they lay, 
their gaiety snores in rhythmic peaks of cadences,
The lily livered japes 
Kings from central castings,
Heroes of one hour, 
jostling  for President with mere words     ...

WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

I don't make my intentions public
But I'll voice it all to you
Though I know you really don't exist
I'll pretend that you actually do

So for Christmas this year
What I want from you

What Would Santa Claus Say

What Would Santa Claus Say
by Michael R. Burch
 
What would Santa Claus say,
I wonder,
about Jesus returning
to Kill and Plunder?
 
For he’ll likely return
on Christmas Day
to blow the bad
little boys away!
 
When He flashes like lightning
across...

Santa Claus,
for Christmas, please,
don’t bring me toys, or games, or candy...

Remembrance For a Choker In My Deathbed

Remembrance for a choker in my deathbed 
(Read-only version, a knick-knack too) 
 
Precious finger, the witnessing one, Count 
The forehead of a pious one, leaving a mark 
Glowing along days and nights, prayer mats,...

I Wasn'T There

I wasn’t there when she was small
To see her scrape her knee
Or ride her bike around the block
Or scramble up a tree

Or listen all about her day
And what she did at school
How Lisa was her...

The Fervent Atheist

She left the tent in holy fervor,
Hell-bent to spread the Word.
The Spirit moved and made her quiver;
No act of faith was too absurd.

She knocked on doors, she spoke with zeal,
Her faith she shared in earnest.
There...

The Diviner

When the diviner reaches out for truth
And winds of fury hurry through the plains,
The youth of summer loses all her gains
Though love’s caresses linger long and smooth.

When time is lost at silly childhood’s will
Or gained...

Happy-go-lucky Wannabe

I saw you smile,

Now, I'm smiling too

You say so many words.

I know you don't mean all of them.

When you say 'leave',

I know your heart would search for mine.

I don't want to be the distance that...

Malignity

I do bitterly fault your restless digits, slatternly time;
Your agile dial's design I defy with mutinous rhyme. 
What's the veiled intent of your lightning procession,
Against this snail-mover's beleaguered progression? 

In swearing truth say why your...

Echo Return

Echo return contoured by consciousness 
Oft ignores our interconnectedness 
Sternest rebuff being indifference 
In a poignant, painful, time stretched silence
Mitigating our innate blissfulness 

Endearing touch of childlike lovingness
Vibrantly bubbling agendalessness
Burns, upturns, on facing insentience
Echo return

Love Hardened

LOVE HARDENED
I would o'erstare the sternest eyes that looks,
Outbrave the heart most daring of crooks,
Pluck the young sucking cubs from the she-bear,
Mock lions when they roar for a prey that stare,
In as much as I...
