Oh my dog, another yesterday (May 23rd, 2020) spent inside

Anomalous earthling inhabited

On the Edge

On The Edge

He lays flat on the floor
on the edge of his mind's cliff.
Taking notes, he wonders
“Is this life worth living?”

He tries to remember,
tries to grasp onto happier times.
Flickers of light flutter beyond his reach.
They...

Children of the Night

Given are we the name of the vampire, creatures of the forbidden,
Driven to live forever within the shadows, or die
Beneath a wooden steak, through our black hearts of pure evil,
But in reality, we are so...

Singularity
by Michael R. Burch

Tearing Down Walls That Bind (Free Verse)

(Rebuilding Our Lives)


All who have truly lived… 
Have, stood behind many walls; 
Some had unforeseen bobbed-wired fences
Placed there, by unusual circumstances…
Where it appears, that one may seem to be forced 
To react in the unnatural...

Sea of Amoress

Love has us immeresed,
in an endless fathom.
Like tears that fall to the sea.
A symbol of loves' fleeting-
Phantom- 
bemused unto the deep.

Our understanding, 
a shifting current,
carrying us to some far shore-
Between summit and sands,
of the Isle...

Ecstasy

Her soft blond hair, a delicate dance upon my skin,
Whispering secrets with its feather-light touch,
Teasing my senses, enticing me to surrender
To the allure of its tender caress.

The salty ocean breeze, a messenger of enchantment,
Carries her...

cognised in staid stillness slow” ~ Unseeking Seeker

through mirrored lakes,
a lotus sprouting from
mountain streams,
soaked in...

Withdrawn For Good From Rat Race

Soul, slow down your flight
A kindred soul dare to delight
In  your tryst when you hold her tight
 
Savouring every breath, every moment
Shunting aside pain and torment
Shutting out a callous comment
 
When your priorities say...

Kismet

Holding hands with Shannon Leigh
Enthrallment consuming me
Trees flex their dusk filigree
Bobbing as if they agree
Pitch blank possibility

Revel in this day's decay
Bemused I should feel this way
Summer blooms share their bouquet
Nature's splendid verve soiree
As we bask...

I am November, the chilling winds
blend with the conditions in my heart
My heart blends with 13 years of not
blending to the conditions very well

I am December, the morning shares
the same blackness as the nights

The Back-Stage Pass Is Waiting

Is depression a band playing?
Always jeering at my brightest sets
Blows off the smallest bow leaving me a husk
Depression cat calls behind the veil

Dark days alone with my ever-present God
Hopelessly kneeling to my sad nature
A dead...

Heaven and Hell

Once upon a time, there was a world, a one-derful world. Before they
