meadows
Your flowering wet meadows
reflected, wonder glinting in green eyes,
stumbling arms wrapped in
gentle padows,
tender individual silky drying strands,
elevate every blissful kiss of hair
fingers trembling, marks my scars bare

A Spectral Owl
Cloaked in a fitting grey suit and bow tie,
She floats like paper kites across meadows.
From a hollow in a tree, her eyes pry~
Her loud hoot startles nearby sleeping crows.
The spectral owl, with her faint, surprised look,
Watches as the crows flee into the dark.
Then silence reigns, curbed only by a brook,
And chirps of birds in the

Asleep In The Meadows Of My Mind
Asleep in the meadows of my mind
is a dewy summer scented with rain and flowers
and a cat purring at the edge of my heart
Smokey fragrances and bulky knit feels of love
stacked up books and tomcat smiles
creatures of habit are we by ones own choice
Together we slumber at the crackle of

Jessamyn's Song
Jessamyn's Song (circa age 14-16)
by Michael R. Burch
16
There are meadows heathered with thoughts of you,
where the honeysuckle winds
in fragrant, tangled vines
down to the water's edge.
Through the wind-bent grass
I watch time pass
slow with the dying day
on its lolling, rolling way
And I know you’ll soon be mine.
17
There are oak trees haggard and gnarled by Time
where the shrewd

Moonlight on Meadows
Moonlight on meadows,
The unseen is out of the shadows,
On a tranquil night,
I feel inspired to write.
The stillness of the night is a moment in time
when nature is mystic and sublime,
A time when the night speaks,
A time when the deep reveals what’s hidden.
Twilight summons the moon,
The elements respond and are in tune,
The night takes away

Moonlight on Meadows
The moon, a silver coin in velvet skies,
Paints the meadow with its gentle lies.
Each blade of grass, a shimmering thread of white,
Reaches up to catch the pale moonlight.
A symphony of shadow, soft and deep,
Where fireflies like tiny stars do sleep.
The air is still, a hushed and silent plea,
As dew-kissed flowers breathe in ecstasy.
The willow weeps,

Moonlight on Meadows
A field of green filled with enchanting flowers
Is illuminated in the midnight hours
Dim is his light while smiling in the dark
The marvelous moon leaves a memorable mark
His little light is subtle and skillfully suffice
Creating a romantic mood, his luminosity is precise
Like an eclipse with the sweet sun
When they kiss, they become one
The

Moonlight On Meadows
--------------
Where meadows flush with hints of rose
Soft lavender and amber wild
That blossoms drop their silhouettes ,
Against a moonbeam's afterglow .
This regal glint carries me high
From meadow lush to summer's grace
When nothing but Luna divine
Mirrors through treetop's lambent view.
And the floral pageant ensues
Hints exploding on prairies' trail
While moonglow streams...eve's

Moonlight on Meadows
Luna sings sweetly
when the sun goes down…
…and the stars light up against
the black velvet of the empyrean.
Others view Luna
with a judgemental frown…
…they approve only sunlight songs
in hues of yellow and tangerine.
When will we see with our hearts
and hear music with the love we hold there?
When will the ethereal light
of

Moonlight on Meadows
My heart remains asleep, until you touch it... (poet)
You are the most' enigmatic existence,'
which will never be mine.
I remain a million waves away,
trying to make beauty from your scars.
Love is a reflective remedy in a world
veiled behind hateful hallucinations.
Envious eyes are an enemy
in episodes of egression.
As you are a mistress of midnight,
and I, a

Moonlight on Meadows
Red fireflies floating in air
In amber sublime floral lair
Cicada’s silver song soft in ear
Carried along blue breeze to here
Onyx owl black barn type
Predator fowl majestic in flight
Shadowy silhouette in the night
Stars that twinkle a night light
Weeds that sway a night ballet
Like lovely lullaby along the lake
And rain falls like icing on cake
Gentle and calm amazing

you dismantled my
wisteria-covered walls,
unraveling my defenses
like frayed silk...

painted with your kisses
soft as twilight spilling
across an oasis
in an Arabian

Meadows
Stepping out into the warm morning sun to find it holding hands with the meadows
The grass and the flowers dance synchronously with each other's shadows
Elated, in watching life come alive, elevated from slumbering in their burrows
Reminded of how my happiness has risen against now long forgotten sorrows
My mind's camera is taking snapshots, I suppose
Saving
