Premium Member My Heart Will Go On - POTD
POTD 30th August 2018 

The gently swaying branches of the old oak should elicit calmness
And yet a sense of foreboding permeates the midnight air
Wild imaginings?  Or did shadows flit across the leaf strewn path?
No...

The Dreaming Tree
So long I thought my trust was gone
withered in a vase that sat 
unwatered neglected posterity's memory 
pressed and ordered flat

I suppose some slight yet weak desire
believed that someday still
I'd find one soul who's promise...

What The Roses Don't Say
What The Roses Don’t Say
by Michael R. Burch

Oblivious to love, the roses bloom
and never touch ... They gather calm and still
to watch the busy insects swarm their leaves ...

They sway, bemused ... till rain falls...

In/ExFormation Trees,
like snakes fleeing
and foeing toward ZeroZone destinies,
ponder bionic ecology
of on-line life and death health market trends
grown redundantly Left v Right,
North reductive v South seductive,
West deductive v East inductive
Yang with Yin
seeking integrity
without further BusinessAsUsual
competing egocentric...

Premium Member Positively Deviant
She seems afraid to say too much
and not listen enough.

Perhaps fear of becoming misunderstood
and, worse, too quickly dismissed,
her moment,
even in this small-staged sanctuary,
unnoticed
under-nourished
unfed
unwatered.

She wants to share with us
her deviant dissonant sufficiency
usually seen as negative degenerating...

Let your fate take root
On hard rock, tangle and bury
Before the coming storm.

and before the coming of the storm
amidst a garden of your crafting
Beliefs and memories planted
and like seeds watered
Take root amidst your cherished greens
Take...

Lighters That Don'T Light
high on a hill Elijah spoke
and when he was finished
all that was left of the sacrifice
was smoke

and i like the false prophet
on the hill
perished to the unwillingness
of your will

though my efforts 
to call heaven's for...

Yesterday
Yesterday, time stirrred of reveries when
All of Summer brought colours bright;
My love's longing roamed this place, yet
Troubles whipped our days; in a rush it  
Seemed your tenderness withered fast.
So hasty for that promise of...

Premium Member Pink Cotton Candy
Pink cotton candy striated clouds
Intermingle with blue
Lure the artist to observe painting
Upon a canvas true

Distant doves sing a summer song
Happy to raise a large brood
Soon they'll be independent
Seeking out their own food 

Life goes in...

Forget Me Not
Last summer you stole a bottle of cheap bourbon from the collection your father keeps in the cabinet. 

Last summer your throat was smothered by fire when you swallowed six shots in a row, and...

Premium Member 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

Million and one things better than applause..
okay to go through life ne'er seeking praise.
Though rain tree unwatered, grows half as tall,
an unloved heart wilts in overbear'n shade.

Your so called friends left such beauty undone.

'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?'
Were I to be more truthful, and less kind
Once fair, your hair now more consumed by gray
Your dewy luster I struggle to find

As weighted toll of years fills...

Dark Corners
On a wrinkled trajectory
the blood averts to abstract remission,
I am out of place in time and history.

Try to nudge the jumping ants
with their cyberweapons
ready to strike the antique nectaries

of judgements. The predators were 
coming. Killing...

Premium Member 'I'm Sorry'
Two simple words with such healing power;
fragile things broken is fixed,
hurt feelings melt away

A phrase that sows the seed of forgiveness,
a seed that sprouts unwatered.
Simple yet does so much

It's magical what sincere contrition
does to the...
