Beauty with PoiseYou're beautiful like no other,
Your smile can melt the hardest stone,
You were raised well by your mother,
Good home training you've always shown.
Many stars shine in night's vast sky,
But none as bright as the dog star,
With wisdom no one can decry,
With joy no foe can ever mar.
Joy not only shines on your face,
It lights a beacon...

The Falling OutThe Falling Out
I find the ceiling fan
quite interesting – a whirling
meditation; -- blades
whiz! – air cooling unseen
yet felt
apparently
all affecting not overtly visible
how one’s heart reacts to currents
oblivious to detached others --
when we had our falling out
a great storm rocked worlds
no mention by the local meteorologist
nor cosmologist
seismologist
or an especial priest --
What’s one more or...

You're here, and so am I; close to midnight.
Baby, nothing could be more idyllic.

YOU ARE MY FLOWERYou are a flower watered by pure desire
Of a young heart so deep in love
A red rose in the sun, you are my flower.
I know you are a flower ready to blossom
Gracefully dancing away in the wind of autumn
I know you are my flower never to whither
You are a flower...

tulipsTulips
The last time we chatted, it was tense
But nothing without you makes sense.
Its been a fall, since you set the standard high.
still remember when we met ,you still make me shy.
Oh my sweet darling you smelled of tulips.
Should I click the send button, tempting
But you seem happy ,not that I’m complaining.
I wont lie no one...

Il Suicidio Di Dio…
Vi racconterò una storia triste,
ma purtroppo necessaria:
tratta di colui che animò la terra
soffiandoci dentro dell’aria.
Nel suo progetto
ci avrebbe reso gli esseri supremi.
Non sapeva l’avremmo tradito
diventando gli esseri più estremi.
È bello sentirsi Dei;
soprattutto se si è pochi e meschini:
Lui ci ha creato il mondo
e noi abbiamo creato i confini.
L’hanno sostituito.
Dicevano di parlare in sua vece.
E non...

A Night Sky AffairA silvery dream upon the night sky
Shining betwixt the tiny shimmers
Queen of the dark alam is she,
Beauty resting upon her in sanctity
That mere words can’t help but flatter
Brimming with epics at her flower beds
That the poets sing praises
But none versed enough
To match her luminous attire
Her light, a divine compassion
Enlightening lost hearts,
Blistering romantic rivers in every...

Fifty ways to leave your loverShe was definitely dumping him
All she needed was the right opportunity
It was like that song
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Now just to get it through to him
You’re crap in the sack Jack
If only you were more like Stan
What a man
Or even Gus
Though, you do have a lot in common with Gus
You always go by bus
God,...

If Not For LoveIf Not For Love
by Michael R. Burch, circa age 18
The little child who cries,
brushing sleep from startled eyes,
might not have awakened from her dreams
to fill the night with plaintive screams
if not for love.
The little collie pup
who tore the sofa up
and pleads here in a mournful crouch,
might not have ripped apart the couch
if not for love.
And...
