Lullabies Poems

Luminous Lullabies Linger

Morning dew in my newly bloomed red clover cloak
A warm breeze kissing my cheek
I want to bathe in the sunshine
This creature that I am
tasting the first sweets of spring
I want to hide away in the moss growing beneath my feet
To grow up into the branches of this cherry tree 
Would she be my shelter
Please don't

DAILY GRATITUDE LULLABIES

Today I’m grateful for lullabies.
Those love songs our parents sang to us
each night before we slowly closed our eyes….

Those same lullabies that even now 
when a new days about to start
still play softly in our ears
and soothe our waking heart

Lullabies of Thunder

The sun has taken a day off, 
sleeping in blankets of silver 
while the Earth dances a slow pirouette, 
like the venerable ballerina she is, on her axis. 

I ponder the grayness 
while thinking of haiku to pass the time, 
wondering of what the sun dreams 
during its times of solar slumber. 

A rose awakens,
blooming

Of Those Bereft of Lullabies

Silent Lullabies

Did silent lullabies make you fall asleep peacefully 
while some child of your blood squealed in his cradle: He was left alone. 
He wished you had stayed longer 
and yearned for a better life. 
You gave him promises, 
You gave him hopes, 
But none of those came true
Until he realized it was a hoax.

Did you

Sappho's Lullaby
by Michael R. Burch

for Jeremy

Hushed yet melodic, the hills and the valleys
sleep unaware of the nightingale's call
while the dew-laden lilies lie
listening,
glistening...
this is their night, the first night of fall.

Son, tonight, a woman

Soothing Chords from Angelic Lullabies

When days reflect like the veil of nightfall,
once bright eyes, like somber stars fail to glow.
World looks so big, but your soul feels so small,
as deep sighs mimic heartbeats breathing slow.

Before the storm absorbs my spirit's hope,
I search beyond weeping shadows of clouds,
counting my blessings to help weak mind cope.
Faith always finds me when I'm

THANKFUL FOR RAINDROPS AND LULLABIES

Today I’m thankful for raindrops and lullabies
and how a thunderstorm would always bring
my mom into my room…and how a lullaby she’d sing

It’s a memory I cherish…one I will forever keep
how even on the scariest nights she’d sing me off to sleep.

And I’m thankful in my life for how often this occurs….
when raindrops in the evening..make

Song of Songs

In the world where melodies resides,
Where notes and rhythms flows,
There lies a song, a timeless guide,
An orchestra of the divine.

It starts with a whisper, soft and low,
A gentle hum that stirs the soul,
A melody that begins to grow,
A seed of music taking its toll.

From the depths of hearts it springs,
A chorus of emotions, it sings,
With

Mother's Love

There is a special kind of love, 
A gift from the heavens above; 
A profound bond forever binding, 
A love that's always reminding.

Of how my presence brings smiles to your face, 
And how my love fills up so much space.
 An overwhelming love of mama, 
A love so pure, there's no drama.

And when I find

Lullabies In the Dark

in the glitter of the night when the moon
has cast its net over one and all ~
swaying to symphonies rehearsed
stars will dance their million virtues

and the midnight breezes will serpentine
towards distant lullabies of mermaids
seek they will hoping to find the enchantress
who forever conspires in the dark with unworldly deities

A Daisy Tale

*** A DAISY TALE ***

A single, wild, tiny daisy
Less than a thumbnail in size, swaying side to side
In the slight, burning whiffs of a summer’s breeze,
Growing out from next to the house,
From the corner where the front and side 
    gray, stone walls of the house meet.
She climbs her way on out

There I Lie

Here I lie, enshrouded
by the orangery aura cast by
the fading rays of a setting sun
I have long waited for sunrise
I sit at the brink of yesterday
wrapped in the arms
of this lingering night, I await
it's ambience to descend
on me like warm sunrays

Here I wait, my heart
benumbed, my soul
in hibernation I await
rebirth, singing lullabies
to the moon, attempting
to

Lullabies

These are lullabies I have written as poems. 

Midnight Lullaby
by Michael R. Burch

I.
A measureless rhythm rules the night—
few have heard it,
but I have shared it,
and its secret is mine.

To put it into words
is as to extract the sweetness from honey
and must be done as gently
as a butterfly cleans its wings.

But when it is captured, it

Lullabies and Goodbyes

**Dedicated to the one I love the most**

Give me your hand before we cross the street
wait, let me bend down to fix your laces.
I'll hold your hand while you look up at me
your fourth birthday, and a cake to put your face in.
The monsters under your bed, don't worry
they can't exist when mommy saves the
