And Still I Drive - Part Two
Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
But stars do not cry.

besides a Dragons Hill;
It was here that a Roundhead - did a Royalist Cavaliers blood in...

In a universe far far away
There lived a penguin, whose thoughts did weigh
Heavily on his mind.
He thought of a vast array of things big and small
But there was one facet he thought of most of...

London
Shoreditch clung to its ruin
Its roughhewn gate staring out at corpses
And the clutch of travellers heading from the fields,
The shepherds rambling onwards,
The herders with their slow-moving cattle, hoofs
Thudding on the stones. Amongst them the knights...

Dreaming
Candied dreams, burning away the twilight
Sandcastle memories, taken
By the softest glow of a Southern moon,
Coloring the thoughts in reflections of sincerest
Beauty, rising like the breathless winds
Roaring through the pines, whispering sighs,
Risking moments bought by...

The Sacred Drops
Forth from the heaven, from the misty moorlands of all sacred woodland greens,
drop by drop by striking the pebbles and untouched vegetations oozes,
the intoning hallowed water of evergreen woods' crystal cascades, brooks and streams.

The Beautiful People
by Michael R. Burch
They are the beautiful people,
and their shadows dance through the valleys of the moon
to the listless strains of an ancient tune.
Oh, no ... please don't touch them,
for their...

My First Date With Lucy
I was twenty minutes late, She forgave me any way,
Yet Lectured me about first impressions.
I could have welcomed the light penance any day,
But the length of her reprimand built vexatious emotions
Within my heart...

Gothic Halloween Scare
An unkempt man approached me one dark evening
'In pursuit', he said, 'of a favour'
'A drink' he explained, but I was unsure of his meaning
When he specified it should be of a refined yet peculiar flavour
Then...

In a Sea of Tedium
A Father Clock chimes from a wall in the dining room, refreshing the idle couple that waited.
It was not as if they were reminded of some pressing appointment or some devoted chores that was delegated.

Around the World In Eighty Days
His German relations would turn in their graves
This great gnome abduction is causing shock waves,
It reads like the spy who came in from the cold
They've held him to ransom and broken the mould.

Crying out for release, wondering when it will cease, this raging beast of

Final Class At Faraday
There’s a bluestone building near the Calder, east of Castlemaine,
One hundred yards back off the highway, beyond a tree filled lane.
For one hundred years this building stood alone at Faraday
serving as the schoolhouse where,...

The Coin
The Coin
Narrow, twisted and dusty be the road.
Three aged and wise stood,
They argued terribly one with the other.
No light shined in the void.
Shadows be cast no longer.
The face in all its beauty,
Beauty is the true.

Human Smells
Mahogany table varnished bright,
polished wooden floor giving a neat sight,
the room was deserted,
but for that radiant person,
who looked sitting in that framed chair,
quite endearingly handsome,
the heap of flesh lay on floor,
bones collapsed much before,
the poor...

Merry Christmas
The cold feet of winter step slowly
past December’s green leaves and red berries
hung from window sills and door jams.
Brightly wrapped in silver shooting stars
tied tight with ribbons of challis and satin bows,
hope of tomorrow lies...

Moonlit Cane Tango
Under a silver grin of moon, he shuffles past the tide,
His cane clicks like Morse code—C-A-N-E, not C-A-N-T—in stride.
Salt air tames his hair around the balding head, still stubbornly spry,

My Heart Varnished Like Vapour
She but a heart breaker
Isn't she ......
The smoothness her face
A blockade my day
Am drained like a lake

Can't spread my feelings
Am drying like a vapour
Am vanishing, resuscitation

Our Secret Space
A low fog lingers on the ground
On cobbled streets where coaches sound,
Candles dance inside the glass
Of lanterns as the moment's pass.
Terraced houses reach the sky
Chimneys smoke and Zeppelins fly,
Merchant's barter trade and speak
Tophats flood...

Mishandled Mahogany
Stop
Shedding and sowing
Begin bracing for burning
In land of melting
Pots
Was
The crews parallax
Of the trees
Which conceives
The lumberjack to
Saw?
Timber!
Reviled
But adored due to bark,
Chopped down and chastised a log mark
Famine yet fervid mouth of hell,
“Rollways”, or “skidways”, dread logs...

Jewels of Africa
Jewels of Africa.
The saffron Queen spins the lilac sky,
her rays flick crimson cinders into Royal Blue Oceans.
Submerge, sizzle, frizzle...going, going, gone! ...But Not.
Cumulus clouds drizzle pepper fog over pink Flamingos, homeward bound.
Tea-green Botswana bush,
teeny, tiny...
