Sea Poems

There is an island having a lot of apples
A boy live there
Oneday, all of these apples lost
The boy is finding them
He looked around all over the island
He didn't see them
So,He went to the sea
And when he reached somewhere of the...Read More

when you look at me
you can see straight through
you may bump into me
you'll just keep walking
even if i drop everything
so i walk through these halls
little more than
an observing ghost
i take notice of your faces
names i don't know
though your eyes are...Read More

JED.

Jed the horse thief was a bit of a dope
Stole a pretty horse and tried to elope
Folk declared him a horse thief
And for giving them much grief
They dangled him at the end of a rope...

PADDY O'HARE.

A deep sea diver called...Read More

When I look through
My telescope I can see
The burning sun
As it lets out
Radioactive rays
That spreads throughout
The universe
Affecting our planet
It also sends out negative rays
That interferes with people
And the environment
It affects the weather
Sea levels and crops
Causing the unthinkable
To the atmosphere
And human...Read More

I’m sending out this message
To warn everyone
About the future of earth
The cities is about
To be covered with water
The polar ice caps
That’s be frozen solid
For thousands of years
Is melting
The melted ice
Is turning into water
Causing the sea levels to rise
With sea levels...Read More

Salt and sea breeze rubbed against my skin,
The soul left my lungs to inherit it’s win.
I looked around and found aesthetics in the dark,
Captured in polaroids , memorising my own heart. 
The reality is what I don’t allow them to...Read More

I am who I am though not the pebbled walk, washed softly by rain
I am who I am though not the dry leaf, that silently glides earthward without pain
I am who I am though not green fruit to ripen, then...Read More

I ride the bus...

Tilt a bit, balance-
ponder later. Yolk yellow 
and sky blue, chalk

grey paint. Steel
rectangles; winding parallel 
lines. Circles- Eternal.

Toothed horizons-
golden rose shaped sunset
tauten, its nectar 

steeps; blushes. Inks gnarled
columns of trees, dusky, their
limbs webbed crosses

open to royal skies...Read More

Upon our first meeting, fear ran to my fingertips.
Within a few choice words,
The tingling became the titillation of lust.

You opened a door, its hinges rusted,
its boards warped by time.
The sirens in my soul sang to me, warning of the danger
yet...Read More

Illnesses besetting
Parents aging
Chilled waves of anxiety
     buffet the shore
Thunderclouds dampening
     soil and spirits
Cellos, subdued in minor sonority
     play Eleanor Rigby in my mind
Painted ponies gnashing
   ...Read More

JELLYFISH MADNESS

So; didn’t I decide to try to draw, a flamin’ jellyfish
And just for the sake of rhyming, I've called it Rish

At first; I thought it was all going down rather well
But; as time passed I was like what the...Read More

The pebbled beach  on which we walked at dawn
The sun was dancing  singing  stone to stone
The sea was pale as silk and gently ran
The tide was coming in, the day began

Why is my memory so deficient here?
I...Read More

Once I saw the glint of the sun in your eyes
and the sparkle of the sea reflected in your smile
Once I saw all our yesterday's, and all our tomorrow's
captured in our hearts
But, the gods saw only what they could break...Read More

My stomach's like a rumbling pit
           That any moment may explode.
        My stomach's like a roiling pot

GOD KNOWS THAT I AM HUMAN

God knows that I am human, He knows that I will fall,
So He’s there to forgive me when on Him I will call.
Oh yes, there is chastisement and there’s a price to pay
If from Him...Read More

Each season spans a quarter of a year
cold winter days can bring pure white snow,
Wintry sunshine makes snowflakes disappear
but little children don’t want the snow to go!

Spring breezes in, making the gardens bright
fragrant freesias release their sweet smell,
Many colorful flowers...Read More

I have been on a long journey- 
the road I have traveled has been a rocky one
I have wept my tears 
my sky is often black as ink
in a life of dangerous curves and hanging cliffs
where deep sadness wraps me...Read More

Plastic

A piece of plastic around world
Gathered in one place by wind and flow 
Called ocean
Human knows the danger of plastic
And it takes 20 to 30years to be recycled into dust 
The place called ground if it gets full 
Now it’s...Read More

I miss how you used to stick up for me even if I was wrong. 
It’s been a while since you’ve passed, and it’s been too long.
You’re my grandmother and always made me feel free.
You accepted me as me, even...Read More

there are butterflies under the sea
and fish in the air today
willows wept over the moon
and stars giving
distance away
nothing is 
as it seems 
come here
let’s discuss 
it in bed 
where words 
lose their shapes
with their spurs
and fingers with lips
run in herds
let...Read More

i close my eyes
to dream
conjuring 
under a silver moon 
a warm summer breeze
one that moves me
swaying gently
whimsical and magical
when suddenly you appear
as if you were right here
i feel you wrap your arms around me
your lips brush up against my skin
as...Read More

Rowing in the wooden dingy,
My arms recall 
The lost days 
Of ocean voyages,
And all at once I remember 
The emerald green 
Phosphorescence 
On night watch....
And the midnight sound 
Of dolphins breath 
Those princes of the sea 
Who were enamoured
With our...Read More

No Mark
by Michael R. Burch

A wave implodes, 
impaled upon
impassive rocks...

this evening
the thunder of the sea
is a wild music filling my ear...

you are leaving
and the ungrieving
winds demur...

telling me
that nothing returns
as it was before...

here where you have left no mark
upon this dark
Heraclitean...Read More

O' Cenobite, Dar'est Thy Soul Await

Alas! By what right is such assailing
amidst uproar, then half-truths a'telling
Does not morn gift upon grass falling dew
yet truth perseveres despite what others do
Aye! But 'tis not fickle applause a noose
tears for the gander, oven...Read More

Oh, nematodes, in your abodes,
From soil to sand to sea,
You live with others, loads and loads,
Most scientists agree.

Your worm-like shapes allow escapes 
In places cold or tropic
Though some of you avoid most scrapes 
Because you’re microscopic.

This little ode I have...Read More
