Round Table

King Arthurian of legend

St George

St Patrick

Mary Magdalene

To the Da Vinci Code

My toilet

My drug use

I remember i could read

I was a trainspoter

A night prisoner

I wrote during the war of the roses

Of the kings last stand

On B roads

Dedicated to marching knights

For weapons and edges

Set up camp for the night

Uneasily at sleep

I lie

I tragic at dawn

Tragic

Deadly

A 100 of thousand men

Seek Excalibur

To formation a round table

Unto which barge

Into a Dickensian future

The King is dead

Loose ends

Bury me in the Abbey

Imagination


Early Poems Xxiii

These are my early poems, or juvenilia...

alien
by michael r. burch

there are mornings in england
when, riddled with light,
the Blueberries gleam at us—
plump, sweet and fragrant.

but i am so small ...
what do i know
of the ways of the Daffodils?
“beware of the Nettles!”

we go laughing and singing,
but somehow, i, ...
i know i am lost. i do not belong
to this Earth or its Songs.



Easter, in Jerusalem
by Michael R. Burch

The streets are hushed from fervent song,
for strange lights fill the sky tonight.
A slow mist creeps
up and down the streets
and a star has vanished that once burned bright.
Oh Bethlehem, Bethlehem,
who tends your flocks tonight?
"Feed my sheep,"
	"Feed my sheep,"
a Shepherd calls
through the markets and the cattle stalls,
but a fiery sentinel has passed from sight.

Golgotha shudders uneasily,
then wearily settles to sleep again,
and I wonder how they dream
who beat him till he screamed,
"Father, forgive them!"
Ah Nazareth, Nazareth,
now sunken deep into dark sleep,
do you heed His plea
as demons flee,
"Feed my sheep,"
	"Feed my sheep . . ."

The temple trembles violently,
a veil lies ripped in two,
and a good man lies
on a mountainside
whose heart was shattered too.
Galilee, oh Galilee,
do your waters pulse and froth?
"Feed my sheep,"
	"Feed my sheep,"
the waters creep
to form a starlit cross.

I wrote this poem around age 15-16.


and yet i am singing ...
the sun—so mild;
my cheeks are like roses;
my skin—so fair.

i spent a long time there
before i realized: They have no faces,
no bodies, no voices.
i was always alone.

and yet i keep singing:
the words will come
if only i hear.

I believe I wrote "alien" around age 19 as a college freshman or sophomore.

The X Factor

"The X Factor"


hunger does strange things
to souls running on empty
last stop, full to the brim

a journey unravelling 
ravenous poetry sings
other broken hearts in

how much do words mean?
how much do they sting?
Inside wants out in everything

in everything,
we believe,
we stir uneasily to let in

life hides inside stories
lost hidden gems live somewhere
buried in all the dirt deep deep beneath

above magnetises
cloud busting 
some souls reign miraculously

outside of the assizes

more telling than tears
lets the light
shatter feeble faux in

gleaming
victorious
mesmerising

something unknown
it's completely foreign
something sincere

in time to be made clear

Girl

I saw her lovely face in the window daily                          While I was going to the college swiftly                             After seeing the beautiful moon lively                                   
 My hero cycle had become k a bike really.                   
                                                                                                Reached the college campus very quickly.                             But I was not able to forget the angel suddenly.                      I tried to read the English textbook simply                           The flower blossomed in the page only.                                       
                                                                                                          I waited for the college over impatiently.                                   I took the cycle and rode it immediately.                               The bird perched  in the same place patiently.                         It saw me and waved it's wings speedily                            
                                                                                                     Had seen the star only one time a day seriously             There was no chance to see the comet again easily          The girl was in the dreams and everything lovely.                    I never forgot that particular day uneasily.                                      
                                                                                                          It was November fourteen,children's day humbly           When I came near her house slowly                                       My dream doll stood there silently                                       
 She was only a little lamb closely                                       
                                                                                                      And not a matured mare definitely                                        The sweet box gave me a chocolate box wholly.                  My life long dreams were shattered highly.                                            Like the last scene of Mckenna's gold film fully.

War

The varnish cracks and peels away,
and little eruptions from below the surface
suppurates before us the underlying truth:

An animal awaits...nine meals from anarchy.

Deadlier than any other living thing,
prepared to kill anyone,
even its own kind.

No other creature sets a lower bar.

Surely the wonder of Nature never foresaw this.

Linguistic casualties:

integrity; heroism; courage; sacrifice and love,
for such things sit uneasily with weaponry.

The words of a leader
reverberate in our minds:

"God is on our side:
the enemy is the lowest form of life,
its armaments and behaviour 
horrendous in the extreme."

Yet he desires more from his own productions lines
and urges his people to a glorious 
victory.

Dignity, goodness, sensitivity,
and empathy,
the basic decency of many human beings,
nine meals from anarchy,
and 'Mental Cases'.

Easy prey.

So does even the shame, the regret, 
that searing, the scarred memories;
the tears, the guilt, and the fear,
fall upon the consciences of the good?

To suffer the rest of your life,
an innocent.

Euphemisms, and stirring myths, and lies, 
encircle the globe,
like mental fall-out, 

nine meals from anarchy.

The protective layers of pretence and language,
unfold and peeled back, 
until,
naked, 

everyone is enemy?


Premium Member Twenty-Twenty

Twenty-twenty, why didn't you abide
by centuries-old rules required to exist?
Why was it prudent to run and then hide;
protocol, you felt, was there to resist

Painfully we hid and Earth hung her head,
as Covid invaded, flaunting with flair.
Breath came uneasily, many were dead;
no place to hide, fear was filling the air.

A terrible legacy your year leaves, 
standing with famine, flu, polio's fears.
We shook ourselves from depression and grief,
buried our loved ones, dried most of our tears.

So, Twenty-One, what good news do you say?
Can we, at last, turn that chapter's sad page,
come out of hiding to sunshine and play?
Wait--Delta is shouting, "I want the stage!"

Move over, climate, our allies won't mind.
Refugees, craziness, anti-vax scam,
egotism, lies, hate everywhere we find
I'm beginning to see why Twenty ran.

Dark thunderclouds hover uneasily 
over the red mesas and arroyos. 
I can feel the tingling sensation of
charged air, an unnatural quiet
as the thick, humid air seems to
catch its breath, anticipating. 

Suddenly the landscape is overwhelmed
by electric white veins of lightening 
that flash and spread like roots
shooting down towards the desert floor.
Urgent rumblings reverberate 
under my feet as I anticipate 
the loud claps of thunder to follow.

Large, beaded raindrops, lukewarm
begin to drop steadily onto the dry
dusty terrain, marking the sandy soil
causing plants to rise up like 
excited exclamation points. 

I savor the moment, relishing 
in the wonder of nature's drama
admiring the intense power I see
feeling reinvigorated and renewed 
in body, mind, soul and spirit.

Humanity what have you become

What will it take to keep Humans alive,
I am traumatized watching CNN,
Stomach queezy,feeling uneasily numb,
It is now time to help Palestine out ,
Let’s make Earth a beautiful place to live .

Humans  have to opt for probity ,no jive,
Americans  are upset  by the Machine,
They are losing the American dream ,
It is  sad it can make a crazy dude scream,
What will it take to keep Humans alive.

Isreal third most hated State once again ,
How does that make you feel about your status? 
The States are in the third place.,
How will America liberate us?
I am traumatized watching CNN.

Capitalism destroys Nerthus-you scum,
Following pols blindly makes me want to puke,
Congress how can you applaud mass murderer?
My statement about pols is a true rebuke,
Stomach queezy,feeling uneasily numb.

Palestine is a burning house. I shout,
Diplomacy is a water moccasin,
Is there an Isreal cease fire   in sight,
Israel behaviour surely a sin,
It is now time to help Palestine out .

Hope is field of stars .This thought helps us thrive.
Trama gone. Humans chose Utopia ,
Radical mycology good for earth,
We now have  a true cornucopia,
Let’s make Earth a beautiful place to live

   Mona Lisa’s crooked smile	
      on a half-crushed Campbell’s Soup can

   Joe Dimaggio reciting his pronouns uneasily 
      then lowering his batting hand
         into a scalding hot cup 
             of ‘Mr. Coffee’

    Where have you gone, Mrs. Robinson?
       Where else? to the bathroom
             ~ Hemorrhoids again

    Barney Fife whittling Andy’s image to
       sawdust with a rusty pocket-knife
          -- contracting tetanus in the process        

    Andy Warhol grinning madly as the 
       word ‘culture’ is finally eliminated
          from America’s lexicon

56 Years of Exile

It looks so sweet,a pity it wasn't sung
Is there hope for what future may hold?
For faces I had thought we're gay
I saw were lined with care
Life unbelievably was clear

And vividly was clear
My lord,where shall I place my bribe?
Then society cheats itself
Billions lost publicly
Big brains lynched

Commoners suffer the wrath of the mighty
Failure justified
What kind of times are these?
The drought and the hunger
Shocking levels of unemployment

Flooded homes, flooded homes for 56 years?
Turbulence in quarantine centres
Others opting for death
The primeval beast devouring us
Turning dreams into nightmares

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the years
It matters not how straight the gate
In the fell clutch of circumstances
My head is bloody but unbowed

The night has been long
The morning I look through your anguish
Clap hands,let's leave the preening
And stop impostering our own history

They cursed our intrusion of peace and the sun's
Intrusion of his shade
Colonial judges
Cobras uneasily lying side by side
Left to roam and bite again

No narrow fancy
Full fifty six years of exile
It has never been so profound
Solitude have I to endure?
And that's the way it should be!
