my wound seems too deep
a rending of my spirit
but it never bleeds...

she left
sadly sat we
she left
empty sat we
i feel the empty
space she left
behind
many hearts rending
untold tears flowing
ah! this goddess’s gone -
gone? gone!
forever?...

Cold as the winter was your farewell
Freezing the most profound of the soul
Leaving a hollow emptiness behind
Shuddering with heart rending intensity

There was a pretty child blessed with carers
Boundless joy encircled home and their dears
Ill-luck dogged them, their lives
The spirit of child soared high
Heart-rending scenes moved the dears and the nears !!...

Judging our tensile strength

As she furiously reams 

Nibbling away at our armor

Undeterred by wishes or dreams

Alternately pushing and pulling

Rending our world with her blast

Yanking us apart at the seams...

Eyes gleam onyx-black, white silky hair gently flows
Pampered with kisses, hugs and chic bows
It's Suzanne's impish Maltese
The first lap dog, from Old Greece
Sparking heart-rending love which glows, spreads and grows

Death
came to my garden in a summer storm tearing and rending
afternoon sunshine on my bleeding hearts revealed passionate
Life

Despondent, falling
Or more dire
That foothold, beneath
Now gives way;
The green Earth's, and life's!
As sinks day.

Needful of uplift
A hand's, heart's
Both soft, for mercy
As strong lit
Sky, Heaven, rending
Shout, scream it....

WORDS SPOKEN OUT OF BEAUTIFUL HEART
BRINGS AMENDMENT TO THE RENDING SOUL.
WORDS SPOKEN OUT OF CARELESSNESS,
DEPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF A PRECIOUS HEART.
NEVER LET A DAY GO BY WITHOUT SAYING
BEAUTIFUL WORDS TO BEAUTIFUL PROPLE AROUND YOU....

The Bee Gees/Gibbs Brothers
   Stayed together so long
They're the undisputed kings
   Of heart-rending pop songs

Three true-blue Britishers
   In America, never to die
With songs like 'Massachusetts'
   They're forever 'Stayin' Alive!'...

We hear voices of human

                                  have no time to hear heart-rending cry

monologue to a past one


and now you know
all of my transgressions
my rending yearnings plastered
and replastered into my heart
my whole self is bare before 
spirit eyes

will you judge me now as the truth
can no longer be wrapped in my body...

Who will sit by my side?
In heart-rending times, who will be my guide?
My ears struggle to find
Something as soothing as your voice

Yes, I heard that
The crickets stridulating
Just when day was darkening
The frogs all flat
And bass drums in need of tightening
Late owl asking
Who was listening
The quarrels of the dogs
The night's harmony rending
The guns random futility
A sleepless clamour
Of cold hostility...

here as in flood dress
beat his chain
savage on bare iron

he sang orgies
with prisms deep but
bloodless as a black whisper

his worn epic compels brevity
shadow language rending
repulsive beneath their lather

arcs glow and groan
the ground pulls cheers
a grave on two ends....

Down the dying corridor of time

 the incarnation forms,
 evil materializing...............
Monster with your hooded sight,
somnolent eyelids,
flutter feathery desire,
love writhes
in rending hands,

the splintered glass
of endless tears
the rending
of my life's garment
a rug pulled
from underneath
and
no air, no breath,
no sweetness
could satisfy
the absence
of your laughter
once more
I'm expected to say
goodbye
too soon, too unfairly
yet your friendship
was worth this aching price...

Piecemeal, a Coronavirus poem
by Michael R. Burch

And so it begins—the ending.
The narrowing veins, the soft tissues rending. 
Your final solution is pending.
(A pale Piggy-Wiggy
will discount your death as no biggie.)

A screaming void hungrily tears me within
Fervent in claiming my complete sanity
In rending the heart of me it's worn the shell thin
And the truth just beneath starts to show within me
Reason for closeness with others to be bereft
Protected from the shadowy monsters I see
Reasoning in my sole bit of sanity left
Hold not who I may love for the darkness is me...

Trek poles wending
Peak ascending
Trail keeps bending
Effort spending
Gnats offending

Stormclouds rending
Cool rain sending
Flowers tending
Clean air lending
Sunshine trending

Now descending
Hikers blending
Smiles attending
All befriending
Hike soon ending

Sleep descending
Sweet dreams sending
Muscles mending
Smiles unending
Next hike? Pending!...

Quick as a lightning, is the effect on whom experiment love struck.
Causing in some one lack of appetite and insomnia.
Waiting the moment to see the beloved one.

As love struck advances, its effects are seeing by others.
Absent minded is one of the most common result.
Until its heart rending effect end, the love strucked recipient would feel
as walking in the clouds....

The Sacrifice
How can I forget that day,
you asked me to leave the Temple, my Beloved,			
once upon a time, on a dark and misty morn, rending 
us apart, so strange, so forlorn.
Why must I be the Limitless, entombed in a limited form?
Now quiet my beloved sit still, do not mourn!
Why did you cry when you were born? 
Does the chrysalis weep for the butterfly born?...

Dogs of War

Release the dogs of war!
literary beasts, teeth rending
the fabric of personal realities
digested too long, spew forth

Primal vicissitudes evolve
transformed by perception and time
unleashed, set forth to feed
ravenous souls bereft of direction

Purpose guide my pens blade
slash life upon the virgin page
blood stained truth covering
lies and banality of evil

Stoic...
