Surrenders Poems

Release the shelter of bare feet,
     rhinestones on big toes sparkle.
The tentacle-shine of sunwheat
     on the scrapyard-swig of river.

Like a sunflower, the mudlark
     shuts her eyes, complexion
surrenders to...Read More

Woken up from sweet daze
Opening his eyes
To the woman
He is in love with

In his embrace 
She is in peace
Beauty he ever have

Soft light 
Into the room
Definte their own forms
Another level of intimacy 

Her lashes lift up
Looking at him
Blushing in silence

Gazes...Read More

You form the breadth
And depth of me, my love,
As the sable night
In twilight's finest silk.

Lavender lilacs poise
In simplicity
And Fresh's joys;
Nature generously renders.
Its redolence wanders
On a small simple table
Set for two;
Quiet and peaceable.

Struggling dreams reach, 
Eager climax cries.
Apace,
A waft murmur hum,
Lilacs...Read More

Discerning knowing 
ongoing boring
 destitute
 high-minded absolute
 confined it in resolve 
End bizarre I close my open eyes
 to see the inside
 of me as I am relieved 
of my spirit my soul surrenders and I fly like a...Read More

              fear of the masses’ mind

Kurt floats on bubble wrapped ice-cream in marshmallow guise

Swathed in a blanket of temptation he drifts on the sweet taste

White tender bliss cushioned in pink illusions of sugary dreams

Caress his saddle as he straddles a unicorn feathered in utopia

Embraced by...Read More

The weary and gloomy moon
Droops alongside confident mountains,
Tries to stay until noon.

Clings to the boundary, slipping down
Being hidden but not wanting to hide.
To time, old moon is bound.

A longing, endless.
Sad moon surrenders to the horizon, daylight lessens.
Less ends of light...Read More

Fright night echoes sounds clink tapped chalices,
Amidst caused bruised concoctions aplenty,
Dons alehouse barmaids geniality,
Fair distance yonder gates of said palaces.

Camaraderie placates fools, nightfalls,
Host chambered snores all else unpleasantries,
Wenches clear tables its swill and varies,
Whilst yon night watchman hollers hourly calls.

A ll things are as it may, beckons a queendom of two faiths,

Oh how my spirit is groaning
And the tension round about me is mounting
It is the feelings that you get when you
Passion is running high and 
you want to leap and touch the sky
I want to reach out and touch someone
But...Read More

Darkness descends, daytime surrenders to night,
Shadows silently steal the gloaming's soft light,
Hapless homeless hasten towards hidden sites,
Darkness redeems us.

How many sunrises will I see,
how many poems will I write

How many Spring’s to then deceive
—until Autumn surrenders to Winter’s night

Fat cat fat cat
Living a life of ease
The high rise apartment
Luxurious indeed

Fat cat fat cat
Always dreamed of a better way
Where he could be pampered
Baths, endless food, a comfortable bed to stretch and lay 

Fat cat fat cat
Living out his dreams
But...Read More

Night Labor, for Rachel Corrie
by Michael R. Burch 
 
Tonight we keep the flame alive;
we keep the candle lit.
We burn bright incense in your name
and swear we’ll not forget—
your innocence, your courage,
your commitment—till bleak night
surrenders to irrevocable dawn
and hate yields...Read More

In an e'er thus oft agitated contorted crystalline world,
Unconsciously being tinseled by the energies that transpire,
Flurries of fakery enshroud the encircled glassful menagerie.
Indifferent minions from habit, obey the traumatic turbulence,
Revolving in every-which-way of an inescapable no bars prism.
Liquefied mirage a...Read More

Darkness lingers
morning's night
   Pillow beckons
   sandman's sleight 

Unearthly chill 
blanket-trapped
   Enveloping softness
   ambition snapped

Demonic dreams
fears unlocked
   Escape's pathways
   sealed up, blocked

Eyes peeled open
slumber resists
   Night surrenders

In every weary word, there is a selfish storm,
Within a blinding blurred of a formless form…
Thoughts are lost amidst the negligent nights,
Tongues are tossed upon blasphemous bites.

Cloudy confusion arises from its sacrificial still,
As the able abeyant advises the wandering will…
The...Read More

the roll of thunder
begs a nurtured cry
counting down a lightning strike
stripped silence and smothering light

dust gathers in the silhouette
tethered for a downward crawl
hopes only exit
surrenders to intrinsic

vicious and sincere is the device
a glimpse of a gleam off steal
forging shape into...Read More

"Brown Bottle"
A slap on the other cheek,
As she surrenders to the non stop abuse,
The scars on her face so visible,
Not even make up can do the trick,
They scream and shout for help,
But no one comes to their rescue,
Its another battle...Read More

Vanquishing all reservation
 twilight's prelude heralds
 shadowy anticipation
of a secret amorous thirst
He surrenders once more
to his darkest desires 
amplifies the sultry ambiance
with star spangled bursts

A slave in her entity
tremulous in her splendour 
Captivating and illuminating
this shadowy tryst
yet...Read More

Why then are u playing C.O.P.? 

Do these letters resemble the secret posturing of your hopes and dreams that you are applying yourself to, for glory, and continuing satisfaction above this below "Greater" reality? 

Yes, why are you so very...Read More

night surrenders
saffron sky delves

export fledglings

sand crabs popout
penguins waddle
porpoises play
