Long Transfigure Poems

Completing the Pattern
by Michael R. Burch

Walk with me now, among the transfixed dead
who kept life’s compact and who thus endure
harsh sentence here?among pink-petaled beds
and manicured green lawns. The sky’s azure,
pale blue once like their eyes,...

Love has a Southern flavor: honeydew,
ripe cantaloupe, the honeysuckle’s spout
we tilt to basking faces to breathe out
the ordinary, and inhale perfume ...

Love’s Dixieland-rambunctious: tangled vines,
wild clematis, the gold-brocaded leaves
that will not keep their order in...

"Skinwalker"


That one’s mind 
is like a scene from Chagall
dreams flow like blood bleeds
across the cortex page curtain call
an audience with the silent speakeasy 
cerebellum with its swift
matter-of-factness 
logically guides the fingers 
to dance across keys...

"Secrets"



I know something 
good about you
you were a child once, too -

without malice

gentle as the petals of a rose
sweet and pure
no need to be berated

proven guilty -
Innocent

From your eyes
and smile 
Light emanated 

joy spilled 
from...

This morning came and I arose to open my eyes ….

I left little to the imagination; because there you stood to my surprise …

Oh how can this be my love; how are you standing right...

Colures transposed orbits closed whence derive the rains of rose?
Across million mileage magic and magnitude are striding
O'er holistic horizon svelteness and smoothness are sliding
Meridian framed parallax tamed whither swash the rains of rose?
Spray by spray,...

Word Quintet in C Major

By Stark Hunter

Open the door my friend,
Climb on in,
Join me here in this relentless caravan,
This unstoppable, this incontrovertible, 
this inexorable movement,
To the depths of the dry gulf.
Join me here my friend,
In...

"Softly the Light Arrives"



Conduit opening
souls transfigure
sold on free will

emancipated 
in 
time

revolutionary 
the higher self is found
the connection aligns 

love 
unconditional
harmonized

ascension,
softly the light 
arrives

In the abyss of our soul, a secret fire burns,
A flame of desire that brings warmth and comforting light.
This radiance, when it reaches absolute purity,
Envelops us in a sense of profound and eternal beauty.
The fire...

Just a glimmering astral spark births in the gloom a crest of day,
A solitary thread of wax dancing its aura
Scatters the night -
In a delirium of gleamings that chase phantoms of fear away,
Shaking the hegemony...

Eyes swelling with stars as the Sun seems just within your fingers reach,
Hands frozen with icy regret while puffed clouds of dreams suckle rain like a leech,
Drops of tears slipping past the sunshine as heavens...

Last night I got a visit from a historical figure 
I couldn’t believe my eyes; I was humbled, I
thought I was hallucinating, was it a transfigure?

Many questions bombarded my mind but why
dominated each question, I...

If the waves 
the shore stored
parted for a new Moses,
I'd fissure these hearts
composed of stone
beneath flash floods
blue, bolts
incarcerated
in your chaos order.

Absence makes
the fall much stronger,
months I hate
they undulate
transfigure blindness
still subtler
until my mind goes we're back...

Snapped into a block.


Feet planted in cool, grey cement at the deepest part of a cul-de-sac. 
Homes of others stretch on, their lights sadistically feeding the darkness.

A silver horn firmly grasped, a music stand facing...

For ancient blacksmith to make horseshoe
It is not an easy thing to do
But only few
Can forge sword with blade that is true

But to make blade from aromatic steel
After five thousand years of bending steel
To our...

Such an act, such blasphemy!
Father, why have you forsaken me?
A fraud in fortitude -  An actor of abhorrence, Mendacious Marital Manifestations,  a
fastidious feign of falsehood.
Decades of dispersion and disdain in One's mind -...

Matters little when life like a lifeless leaf in the wind trembles
Surging forth, seeking serenity, summoning common sense
In quarters cut off from conversation and creative communication mumbles
As couples lost in the mendacity miasma boast and...

Everything roundabout and under the sun has its season.
All occurrences, whether good or evil, happens for a reason.
No man can transfigure the future, nor venture back into the past.
‘Tis wasted energy to cherish brick and...

In a sky stained with black and white tinges, the moon slowly rose,
Interspersed a being and a storehouse of innocuous anecdote.
Innumerable starlings clove the air,
Even with mawkishly effeminate sentiment and soullessness.

Yet, the brassbound stood bold...

oh, Madam Francis, I stand flabbergasted!,
when I glance upon your shadow, gray,
I thought beauty for sure ever lasted,
but now I'm enveloped with dismay.

The ocean waves would shamelessly recede,
an ardent attempt at flattery, I suppose,
man after...

Seeking Serenity 


To seek serenity is simpler said than done

   at times so filled with sadnesses that come and go.

The lustrous surface of your sea is
urging me to drown in its intriguing blue.
Afraid to go further, I stand hesitantly at
 your mysterious shore, yet allowing your
 tides to lick my soul!
Your waves grow in...

metamorphosis

-you see roots of light, filaments:
it's a miracle speeding ponderously, splendorously
where a congregation of stars transfigure into a winged-galaxy
and spiral-Angels glitter in your eyes --

dancing between every wondrous thing
in time and space matters,
orbiting infinitely in
where...
