Akin to a flower bud,
Is born crippled,
An inscrutable prank of God!...

Looking around at the crowd
	I wish I knew
	A love so true
That I need not shoot the two...

Two yr. Old Mali
Puc’s little nymph
Cherub in pull-ups
Clumbing the hearts
of the trees around her.

One a cherub; the other a goon

Dilly O daffodil!
Day is sunny and bright.
Driven by zephyr winds.
Delight of fairy wings.
Dolorous on the dirt.
Dainty one lies below.
Drizzling on cherub cheeks....

Chubby cherub with a bow
Looks my way and spreads those wings
Seems to have his sights on me
Cupid,shoot 'em straight!

Nonbeliever
by Michael R. Burch writing as Kim Cherub

She smiled a thin-lipped smile
(What do men know of love?)
then rolled her eyes toward heaven
(Or that Chauvinist above?)....

It is love, love

The heart, the soul, the flesh

I am nothing but that light

Blushing cherub-pink against violet

That lush hue, that reflects my red sinew

Pouring soft blues over me like a baptism...

To look 
upon His face, 
hold in my craving arms, 
seek his divine grace and favor.
I'd spread my wings and sing a Cherub hymn. 
The Seraphim angels' harps would 
strum melodies paying
homage to our 
God's son.

Midnight glows from behind pearl- glazed pools,
darkness hides the delight of eyes wide open.
As time floats by in dream-like waves,
sunrise blooms with the wake of morn'.
Scented petals of nature's honey linger;
butterflies perform in perfect harmony....

   This armed cherub
In diapers, with arrows
   
   This winged archer
is set upon our meadows

   Yet only time will tell

If he comes bearing,
   God's greatest gift

Or leaves us smitten
   and gawking at some girl... ...

A holy apparition
saintly and pure,
plays hide and seek,
in the Heavens above.
Innocence radiates
from this beautiful,
divine messenger.
Gloriously, shining, 
gossamer wings;
an exquisite missionary.
Ethereal and righteous;
angelic proclaimer, -
the delightful cherub....

If at dawn,
in the first splash of infancy,
the cherub falls to the floor like a dead orchid, maternal
blood shall stain the symbol
of creation, a man
alone
without wisdom,
love,
or self-reflection,
is duly disunited from the root of truth,
“communication;”
the jewel
that brands us human....

Stone cherub in a garden 
Precious guardian, 
of the flowers 
How I envy your position 
and eternity of hours
 
To mingle with serenity 
To represent such bliss 
Oh! I would be a cherub 
For the sum of all of this

a cherub fountain,
                           bold lips showing me

STORM OF PRAYERS


Air reeks of dragon’s esteem ‘longside cyclonic wings of courage.

Strobe light-shadow rivals ~ swords thunder, silver flashing, flooding clouds.

Regret of demons ~ cherub tear drops plummet to earth, heart-shaped.

a phone call
a text
a stroke on my cheek
the way you weep
your sarcastic guile
a cheeky smile
you melt me
unambiguously lay my fear
at your feet
that hat tossed about
your head
your cherub nature
a tarnished sweetness
assails my heart
sorcery, magic, the dark; dark arts
whatever that is
is you
whatever will be
is you...

My first-born miracle,
You blessed my youth
And forever, my heart
With your liquid brown gaze.
All the men in your life 
Were caught in your baby grasp,
Helpless to resist your sweet,
Angelic smile
As you changed from a tempest
To an imp, to a cherub,
To a diva, and back again.
So quixotic,
So determined, 
And so very loved....

concentric circles clouds 
mushy mists growl
tainted tarred twain
epileptic ensconced spray
rustic rims raved
adapting aura's aid

mystic mood swung
lurching lousy lust
taming torpedic tongue

callous Cherub called
vile veins' gores
dripping damped draws

scrunched syllables smoothened
haggard hierarchy heightened.
