I keep seeing you in strange places.
My heart flutters, you grin at me.
I blush and I turn away.
You are too dangerous,
and you know you are!
Maybe next time
we will speak;
maybe
not!...

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!...

there isn't any medication
that can cure this febricity
I break out in a soaking sweat
with cold chills racking me
maybe it is the fever
that's causing discombobulation
no, I think it is just you
making my heart dehydrated...

give me your aorta ~ and in exchange i will give you a nice pulse

said the kidney bean to a cabbage heart ~ as it openly convulsed

but the black eyed peas protested violently ~ acting with impulse

of course i needed a leek pretty bad ~ and suddenly felt repulsed...

Discombobulation
Interrupts my concentration
In the darkest corner of my mind
It's sinuous coils unwind
And because of it's intrusion
I'm caught up in confusion
My thoughts become so scattered
And the thing that really mattered
The track that I was following
The snake is busy swallowing
I wish I could combobulate
And concentrate to meditate...

Asserted, a decision. 
The g a p s start to form
Creeping of notions
Undermining the norm
Confidence waning 
For and against
Di s in te g r a ti on
Nothing makes s e n s e
Chaos, created.
Part of the crew
Gut instinct, disregulated
Too m u c h now in view
No-breath-taken-in
As panic takes over
Still beautiful from a distance
Little Miss Super Nova...

the sky is falling
the fall is crying
the cry is calling
the call is dying

the dye is casting
the cast is resting
the rest is lasting
the last is testing

the test is boring
the bore is lying
the lie is scoring
the score is tying

the tie is binding
the bind is grating
the grate is grinding
the grind is waiting

the wait is ending
the end is stopping

The blender of time
has utilized my face
as a map to find
its way back home.

Discombobulation 
is made with the wits
of the desperate 
and the alone.

To be dangling
off of a cliff
holding the hand
of someone
you do not trust.

Has made me more
of the man I am
than any loyal
or delicate love.

I hold in my hand
god's only command
to complicate
my own.

And with this pride
and sin inside
I carve my word
in bone....

She Spoke
by Michael R. Burch
 
for Beth
 
She spoke
and her words
were like a ringing echo dying
or like smoke
rising and drifting
while the earth below is spinning.
 
She awoke
with a cry
from a dream that had no ending,
without hope
or strength to rise,
into hopelessness descending.
 
And an ache
in her heart
toward that dream, retreating,
left a wake
of small waves
in circles never completing.

Glow and glitter
tweet and twitter
face book hookers
are number one
baby sitter
sew and knitter
good lookers
over done
hit the high road
just for show load
have ice cream just for fun
beat the bar code
implode a lymph node
dd 214 on the line
shoot a basket
stretched elastic
uncle sam is doing fine
pointless end rhyme
must stop some time
put it up and watch it spin
link the tail back to the top ?
no way, not this mess again.
