Poems about Flight, Flying, and Birds
Flying
by Michael R. Burch
I shall rise
and try the bloody wings of thought
ten thousand times
before I fly...
and then I'll sleep
and waste ten thousand nights
before I dream;
but when at last...
I soar the...

Poems About Icarus
Southern Icarus
by Michael R. Burch
Windborne, lover of heights,
unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace,
you climb, skittish kite...
What do you know of the world’s despair,
gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to
fall?
Only a...

China Tour Thoughts 2
China Tour Diary Moment #2
--------------------------------
AZURE MOUNTAIN GORGE
Mile after mile we take the China roads;
Highways beckon now as our tour meanders;
Vistas speak beauty as coach bears our load;
Silence fills endow as wind blows plunder.
Springtime in China...

The Painting
She’s a painting, conceived in tinted strokes
Smooth as the feather’s tips, drifting through canvas,
The alchemist’s wand waltzes in curls,
Enraptured in pacific zephyr, her entire universe unfurls
An abstruse domain of love, artist’s exaltation of philosophical...

Are You Still a Dreamer
You say you used to dream but now you’re old
and have no more dreams in you?
and you say you have no more gas in the trunk?
that life has not been good to you
That your arthritis...

In halls of time threaded upon the spindle of lingering thought
In halls of time threaded upon the spindle of lingering thought,
Youth sheds at dawn like dew entwined on strawberries,
Weaving a veil of dreams and hopes, the storm is but a hushed song,
The greatest gift—a mystery...

There is both fear and defiance in this horse's eye, but why?
The horse was NOT scared
I’m a war horse and nobody messes me with me
Not even aliens who think they’re big and hard!

May my heart remain silent, like a stone in a river
May my heart remain silent, like a stone in a river,
No longer beating in rhythm with your memory, no longer feeling
Neither longing, nor love, nor time passing over
The shadows that stretch, long and cold, over
The...

Healing Words
Her words were mumbled unprovoked and put him through the grinder
minced they were tearing apart they hurt like a dagger so he finally knew
where his heart was dismembered as it stood still one sentence then...

Inner Realms
Take things easy in journey air,
Seize moments calm where silence heals;
Wonder sets free that vital flair,
Feel that sure balm that soothes and fills.
There are worlds here beyond mere sight,
Look deeper then to inner realms
Let wonder...

A Man Who Lived Life Twice - Dizzy
his youth was stolen by undreamt dreams,
growing old and always wanting one more
his white hair once dark chestnut, now gleams
for his quiet nature is not as it seems-
no, he’s my baffling father, whom I adore
sober...

Will you be
Your melody whispers, "Stay,"
Grazing me all the way deep to my depths' deep,
Breathing closely, closer into my blues, a clever wheeze.
Like a callow breeze, I feel it deeper in my soul,
Caressing my heart in every...

Last Smile
The ebon hair cascaded untamed,
some swirled in the stream of longing squall,
some laced the enticing lattice of lust
on your forehead of ivory canvas,
engraving the contours of the evanescent mind,
configured in the...

The Return
The Return!
Echoes resonate - in vast empty streets
Confining humans with apps and with tweets
Papers flutter down dark hollow caverns
Shops now closed - and so too the taverns
Cats stroll their beats – midst mice and...

Count His Blessings, Keep On Stepping
I, Ram, breathed in this world
In the town once ruled by Lord Krishna
Ever since I have counted his blessings
And with His grace have kept on stepping.
Though born in a family of a teacher

Prayer For a Life Unmade
Too busy wrestling
with our own demons
to bring an innocent soul into
the hell of mourning
an innocence lost,
I now grieve
for the loss of a life
never conceived
Dear one, I ask
you to forgive
those obsessions
that ruled the hearts...

Pleasure Pleasure Pleasure
Please purpose pure
Loiter lost lure
Embrace each end
Apt aim attends
Sense something still
Use urge until
Rouse real refrain
Etching explains
Prompt primal play
Line limpid lay
Etch empathy
Ask actively
Shout screaming sham
Unfurl undreamt
Reach rude recoil
Endings embroil
Piquant pleasure
Lively leisure
Endowments ease
Answers appease
Sensuous success
Union undressed
Respite reeling...

Neglect
Long-time neglect morphs into degradation
A sad sight of a deserted dwelling; a burning eyesore
Tantamount to sown seeds of dreams forgetting to sprout

An Unwatered Seed
An unwatered seed is simply a dream undreamt
Quench the seed's thirst, and a dream will sprout
Water the soil, lest your dream rots in the dirt

Homeless Holidays
The icicles that grow for years
and slowly cry then drop and die
in liquid pools of frozen tears.
The pain that builds within a lie;
lives that wait for want of love
and slowly cry then drop and die.

This Middle Rung
In ignorance, bliss!
This bottom rung,
we speak as we choose
and that gets the job done.
Yes, ignorance mired
in language unkempt-
the parlance of paupers,
ill-regarded, undreamt.
In tolerance, wise!
This highest rung-
we speak as the learned
and get the job done.
Where lofty...

Anthology of Life
we gently pray upon our desire
or maybe our desire preys upon us
recoil in disgust at the muck and mire
only to answer, "what's all the fuss?"
life's joys and private hells undreamt of
scale's fulcrum tipping the balance...
