   and value nothing

An ego’s adulation
  —the soul despairs

adulation our banner

red little hearts and ribbons 

a carnival of our love 

a merger of hearts

The lowest branches get lights,
decoration,
adulation,
attention.

Upper reaches sway, snap in the dark,
break and turn loose their leaves.

But never receive a mention....

My walls reveal my mind
How it thinks
What it feels
Why blue tac likes its art form

Space is too severe
Faces make better cling film
Black and white portraits of adulation
Make me feel alive......

Mid clouds of adulation,
topped with a golden crown,
he wafts so high above us
and smiles benignly down.

We lowly creatures wallow
here on these earthy sods.
Our eyes alone may follow
 his passage to the gods....

Seek ye not the adulation of the fickle crowd.

Seek ye first, your own soul's deep meaning.

Then, and only then will you be shining.

Like the star that you were meant to be,

All your love light, truly glimmering!

To love your lips, I earn some praise.
My tongue you dip, their laugh to raise.
Hunger without words, my feet drowned.
You strove in crowd; they left its frowned.
Consider me in bold revere.
Yet I have no gold heart severe.
For every jewel, you cover.
For beauty, I was not lover....

Loud crowd surrounding
cheering both for life and death
a cry to appease the Gods
pure entertainment 
for the frenzied mob who seeks
spectacular scenes of sport
death's acrid tang sparks
determination to win
and accept adulation.

a minor god
shunned by most
approaches us
seeking adulation 
which we offer 
because we see
God’s light in his heart
as mirrored in our own

as we concur 
boundaries blur
we both disappear 
then there is no one here
all that that radiates then is
is bliss thunder’s elixirous fizz...

I opened my arms and embraced the Moon...
I became intoxicated with the dream of the Arts...
Will anyone else share this life with me?
Tears of doubt trickle down from diamond eyes...
And the smile of an angel captures the last of my breath...
That beauty...
Is beyond mortal capabillity......

Beyond all those particular existences
Such illusions of meaningless digressions
from what's humble and noble
Decimated to nothing other than
eternal oblivion
A fallacy to one's own finitude
A pretension to omnipotence
An undue adulation
To such negations 
Of knowing evil by infection...........

Communing with bees,
my soul feels adulation
and harmony reigns.

I adore my bees,
they exude adoration
for me, in return.

The bees and I know
with mutual respect, we
can all get along.

Patience is the key
that unlocks harmony’s door;
then we can walk through.

With every beat of my heart...
The rhythm of another soul matches the tempo...
As a song is born from two common people...
So shall their love withold...
I captured a star that danced by on a ribbon of light...
It's my gift to you...
So make a wish... 
And let that star shine through the Night......

Commonalities shared in true spirit
Congruent in every sense of the word,

Like souls drawn together;
Though the unenlightened deem them absurd.

Unfettered synaptic responses
Birthing emotional literary compilations,

Wholehearted unadulterated creative endeavors;
Soliciting the world’s adulation....

(American Style Haiku Sequence)

raindrop bullets lash
cardinal cowers in nest
tiny eggs stay dry

fragile blossoms wilt
under sunshine’s scorching rays
baby cardinals fly

radiant gems flash
on faded garden pathways
cardinal red mums

cardinal watches
bare limbs bowing down to pray
in adulation...

Blind faith and adulation 
See it in the eyes of a child
My daddy strongest, she says
Words setting off tempests wild

If the child is immature then so are we
Jesus, Buddha, Krishna ~ who’s the best
Each saint we know walked the path alone
Why then do we carry their load on our chest

The Locker
by Michael R. Burch

All the dull hollow clamor has died
       and what was contained,    
                   removed,              
                   reproved
         adulation or sentiment,
    left with the pungent darkness
as remembered as the sudden light.

Beyond here...
Across there...
I have journyed for a vastless time....
Stopping, searching for a place for me to remain...
So long have I searched and asked...
When will  you finally see...
All that I have for you..?
For there is no other that I wish to see...
More than anything in this human domain...
I long for your tender embrace......

Time stands immortal our lives being finite,

Consumed in the fire of lost years.

Now gone the independence of youth,

We could not wait to grow up,

Now wiser ravaged by the turmoil’s of life.
 
At times fame and adulation,

And at others left licking our wounds.

Moments like us soon to return to dust,

Blown away in the winds of time.

Sensuous apparition 
my lady in the dark night
this wonderful silhouette 
soft aim of adulation 
and timeless as it would seem. 
Fleeting moment of closeness 
becomes the stuff of my dreams.
