Thin Kin

Skeleton!
Tell us what you lack ...
the ability to love,
your flesh so slack?
 
Will we frighten you,
grown as pale & unsound ...
when we also haunt
the unhallowed ground?

Where Witches Roam

Wicked winds and wandering mists,
Moonlit hours and secret trysts,
Spells and charms; unhallowed loam,
Stealthy do the witches roam.

Boiling cauldrons, smoke and fire,
Fallowed fields, dearth and dire,
Ungodly grants that demons give—
O’ thou must suffer not a witch to live.

WOLF

Sheep just follow - never question why 
Straight into the slaughterhouse to die

Have in them not to become the sleuth
If one never questions what's the truth

SHEEP

Our understanding ignorance as to why 
Gives the pastures until it is time to die

Whereas you - always hunted, no deny
Rest not you under the unhallowed sky

Premium Member Address To the Devil

Auld Clootie of corruption fame,
how smooth your fork-ed hiss,
deceiving hearts and tickling ears
with your sweet, seductive kiss.

Oh, master of enticement
how fragrant is your breath,
while whispering temptation,
condemning souls to death. 

And in this wicked world we're 
bound by your irreverent reign
'til heaven strikes a fatal blow
to your unhallowed name.

The Final Act

Is consciousness different than having a soul,
reflection unhallowed—eternity trolled

Does the magic within us begin and then end,
finite conscription—one lifetime to spend

And if unrelated, then what lies between
what we feel and we ponder—perchance then to dream

Till that final unveiling where death at last shows
the truth of the matter—that nobody knows

Skeleton

Thin Kin
by Michael R. Burch

Skeleton!
Tell us what you lack...
the ability to love,
your flesh so slack?

Will we frighten you,
grown as pale & unsound...
when we also haunt
the unhallowed ground?
