Short Beseeches Poems

listing to starboard
an elm beseeches the sun
a leafy mime

The silence between the notes
Of this, their joint heart's singing
Love, through pretty speeches
There, Time hangs. A moment, full
Of the eternal. When fate
This, from both, beseeches....

hues of dusk’s dimming light
beseeches our presence
to linger with it awhile
humming a gentle lullaby 
that when daylight exhales
we are there to hold its hand
promising resurrection at dawn...

Beware! 
Because befriending beasts
Besets bad boys.
Being bad beguiles beautiful brides
But being bold bedevils bimbos
Brave bigots beseeches beliefs
But being a barging bard is being brief...

Deed beseeches with no passion,
Ruled like a peasant,
By cussing, language was weaken,
Rationality overruled by emotion,
Ignorance detests reason,
These mongrels play chicken.

What a trick!...

Virginal
by Michael R. Burch

For an hour
every wildflower
beseeches her,
"To thy breast,
Elizabeth!"

But she is mine;
her lips divine
and her breasts and hair
are mine alone.

Let the wildflowers moan....

glistening nodes in body abode dance
each tremor beseeches our loving glance
holding each bliss beat dear, presence draws near
vast void as our witness, begins to cheer
moment to moment, all moments entwined
finds us thus in rapture, with love aligned...

spoilt for choice
we notice not
beauty in diversity
clinging instead to
narrow prejudice
signalling stupor

innocence beseeches us
to rekindle the reverberations
of astonishment and wonderment 
at play and in unending renewal
both in here and out there...

events become non-events
for we now dwell in our luminosity
Self beseeches our in-form consciousness
not to needlessly precious waste time
oscillating in the winds of duality

residual identity
having nothing to do
enjoys the gift of life
breath by breath

Love’s touch gentle could not cope
With barbs of an unconscious mind
So took a step back in earnest hope
That God bestows sight to the blind

Rose in one hand, sword in the other
Prayer in heart and song on our lips
Innocence beseeches Divine Mother
May all relinquish ferocity ego grips...

I feel the impact

of your pain

dragging ragged heels

echoing in the brain.



I know your frustration's

acid taste

searing on your nerves

laying sense to waste.



Know of my undying love

that reaches

for your warm embrace

it desperately beseeches.



Know how much I care

that despite

cruel external forces

my love for you is right....

Lost at sea within myself,
No anchor no tie to keep me still
Floating and wallowing in emptiness

The darkness beseeches my soul
No light shines to rescue
Shadows grab and devour me

Left am i the empty shell
No help for the lonely
Solitude will envelope my soul

Tears of loneliness remain out of reach
Handrails of support exist no more
And the void consumes those left undefended...

Discovery eases many doors within,
It fills my thoughts with chagrin,
My heart beseeches reprieve,
From feelings I cannot believe,
I crave some essence of promotion,
Though my conscience lacks the notion,
That a greater occurrence could transpire,
I know you feel my relentless desire,
It scolds my chest,
With no rest,
I crave the taste,
See what we face,
Even if I had a dime,
We’d be left with no time....

Wherefrom does arise that impulse divine,
which we deludedly claim as our own,
thus offerings of grace decline?

In the void of silence, we dethrone
wayward ego birthing fear and desire,
whence mellow and gentle becomes our tone.

Having consigned ego to the funeral pyre,
all that remains is presence aware,
radiating God’s eternal fire.

Recognise oh hermit, each thought as a snare ~
Call of God beseeches that with love we pair...

No longer I beg the 
question...

For a knowing an 
understanding lingers...

a veil of beautiful peace
beseeches me...

a once relentless yearning...
pleading...wanting...

like a sentry you stand
firm...you stand guard...

I felt your arrival...this a marvel
...you always return...

...this peaceful reassurance...
...blessed be...

I hear your wisdom...
...I know you watch over me...

...these angels within...
in these angels I believe......

Towering high the pine tree spies
Darkness gleaming across the skies.
All-embracing limbs it reaches
In all directions it beseeches.
Yearning for ominous actions to end
Locked they hide; secretly they offend.
Veiled is the door guarding treacherous fate
Never exposing; hold and isolate.
Looming colossal to pointed peak
Shadows adorn branches yearning to speak.
Piercing the court’s air the almighty giant cries
Wind: Roar.  Needles: Skewer.  Nothing it denies....

lonely heart tremulously beseeches
the inky black void
the universe responds, bliss fills us
delusion’s destroyed

a verse begins to be formed in mind
heart distils emotion
presence draws by resonance elixir
of love’s magic potion

lower mind would have us so believe
in attainments unreal
save holding God’s hand like a child
nothing holds appeal

within darkness too, we see the light 
it’s glow self-luminous
we’re now way past the stage of fear
bliss rise is continuous...
