a poem for lyrics for Golden Hearts charity anthem
Available on SoundCloud /maxburchett/i-dream
There is so much we can do.
I hope we can,
I believe we can.
Let your love show
For those who cannot.
Just have to see
What a new world can be.
Changing course of fate,
Help before it is too late.
Breaking chains of poverty.
I want to dream a dream,
Hope you believe,
So come and dream with me.
Let’s come together hand-in-hand,
Imagine beyond what has ever been.
Let’s find a way to a brighter day
When love and kindness will win,
With every step of the way,
Together we will do more.
That is what we are here for.
Lift your voice and sing with me now.
I want to dream a dream.
Hope you believe,
So come and dream with me.
Dream of a better world
With less broken hearts.
Come ‘on and join me now,
it is about time we start.
Dream things that never were
And ask why not?
Now that we have come so far,
Let’s give it all we have got,
Giving with Golden Hearts.
Until Then
by Max Burchett
Pop song on SoundCloud based on lyrics of this “Until Then” poem
maxburchett/until-then
Through the years and years,
what a life it has been.
Together fighting for
what we believe in.
And we are still standing,
still believing.
Never looking back, we are still on track,
on the road again.
Until then…
Until then,
we are not alone.
Wherever we are goin’
on roads unknown.
In spirit higher and higher,
together we are soaring.
Hand in hand we are going.
Until then…
I will remember you
and in the end I know we will make it through.
As time leads us on from here,
I will remember you.
We are always friends,
on the road again.
Until then…
Waaater... wataaaa, waterrrr, running..
Falling MY NAME ITS CALLLING.
It represents healing and cleansing..
save(nurture) my nativity.. save my mentality save the soul in me.
My heart strings..
thoughtful gentle things.
My purest form it brings.
I can submerge in it all worldly activities..
hide me.. soak me, soak my actions..
cover reactions..
got some water.. get ya some..
waterrrrrr, she's a wave of satisfaction. she's a mathematical a mystical rafter.
Shelter to seek after.
Water sets me free... water brushes.. water blows my knowledge.
It sustains my power...
Water is the mother of soul.
water cleanses makes us whole...
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhhh water..
drip drop waters what you got.
good what ya got..
It's everything...

patience is not an embargo;
eerie enmity oozing flows
gaunt gores, perforated pores pruned
fostering felon feasts - foiled fluid
neither is patience hoisted hay;
nocturnal nature chopping day,
smothered smithereens callous clips,
dark dribbles, moist mood, drizzles drip
patience is all but wanky wait;
taciturn haste fuming torn trait,
etched emotions lagging, joy foiled,
confetti of wishes - wit's spoil
patience's an ocean draped'n torrents,
amateurs savor waves' torments.

Note: of pored patience.

love is not the tale of the cross;
dark diction callous clichés draw,
la-de-da limping of thorn-theme,
snapping at cum renting spun spree
love has never been an excuse;
taunted track punctured passion prunes,
masticated motive masks means,
felon fashion trimmed by lips' spree
neither is love hurled Utopia;
throbbing thrills, hoisted hemisphere,
dainty pastures, voluptuous vines,
salient stream, vying vision dines
love's a robe of many colours
rarely worn on suiting attire.
'20:06:27:16:10
Note: of lured love.

You don't have to look down on yourself
you don't put your talent in shelf
you don't wanna sit down and rest
when others are giving their best
you don't wanna prune your mistakes
when your future's goddamn a-stake
you don't ever wanna be late:
better to be that than be late
(Chorus)
if you've crafted a route, and made a plan
make a lanky research, and find your man
make your wannabe self, just the man
you have drafted out, in that your plan
you don't have to give up on the wins
you don't wanna be slave, 'ought-to king'
you don't wanna make confetti of dreams;
hardship to marred misery lease
owe not your mistake to somebody
always claim your responsibilities
if you want a future that is bright
bail yourself from prison of the mind.
(Repeat chorus)

Once upon a time I saw a lady on the street,
walked up to her, you know, do a nigga's plea:
"Hey blonde, hey there, will ya my queen,
I love your covetures, you know, those things."
She looked me, and hissed at me, "Hey, I'm not your mate,
you ain't my type, can never be, just walk away,
you look like , you in a mess, ya want disgrace?
She knocked me out like a horrible Canadian thunder then walked away.

Moments
by Michael R. Burch
for Beth
There were moments full of promise,
like the petal-scented rainfall of early spring,
when to hold you in my arms and to kiss your willing lips
seemed everything.
There are moments strangely empty
full of pale unearthly twilight—how the cold stars stare!—
when to be without you is a dark enchantment
the night and I share.

there’s a universe
bound to each person we meet
big invisible bubbles
around compact little bodies
taking up no space
just overlapping clouds colliding
as we haul our baggage
holding on to our history
protecting personal space
as if treasuring our burden
the magic only happens
when souls connect in trust
vulnerability exposed
illusion of distances shattered

Brother and sister crickets please recognize grasshoppers,
katydids, and locusts as part of well schooled, politely
ordered named league known as Orthoptera, (pronounced
or th hop tara), which means 'straight wings'), and make
sounds of music for listening pleasure of females.
This method producing shrill tones (generating different songs
for various occasions) occurs by rubbing legs, wings
or other body parts together. Scientists studying
these special insects refer to WhatsApp vibrating,
uber Twittering, and Reddit Shutter flying process as stridulating.

Components form a basic need
A plant produced, a healthy seed
Light and warmth, spring water flow
Tranquil air helps plants to grow
The sunshine rays that beam with light
With health, green leaves shall stand upright
Natural cycles won’t evolve
A dark surround, left bare and cold
That light of which dear plants rely
Devoid of light, such plants would die
Tall spindly state, o light shall seek
Epitomises growing weak
Watered fields, roots delight
Nutrient soil, anchored upright
Beneath the earth, a process starts
Up through the stem to distinct parts
Sunshine glare, of natural bliss
Make way photosynthesis
Bring forth a bout of showering
The varied kinds are flowering
Embrace the harvest, water surge
Where leaves and flower buds emerge
Insects travel, pollination
Carried forth, fertilisation
Dispose and scatter seeds below
Create anew, for plants to grow
Coloured petals, a summer breeze
Butterflies and bumble bees
Attractive plant, a keen insect
Solid petals will protect
Sweetest nectar – energy
Exist for bees to make honey

Peering through the enchanted door, tell me what you see
A garden filled with charming buds, thyme and rosemary
Peering through the enchanted door, tell me what you hear
Bumble bees humbly, buzzing endless cheer
Peering through the enchanted door, tell me what you feel
A soft and velvet texture, light and so surreal
Walking through the enchanted door, tell me what you hear
A clamouring of tambourines is sounding very near
Walking through the enchanted door, tell me what you see
A fairy land of mysteries, staring back at me
