Flowers will ever grow, joys glow

SOUL   WINDOWS


Cat eyes are  curious, suspicious; 
Horse eyes big, brown, delicious.
Dog  eyes say be my friend,
And stay with me till the end. 
Norwegian blue eyes are tall looking down;   
Mexican eyes are fun-and-sleep-loving brown.

Corona Crisis 
viral virus 
no immunity no vaccine watch the community start collapsing 
people dying 
people lying 

I’m suspicious of the timing 
Brexit Trump forgotten items 
pandemic dread a new horizon 
governments all left advising 

Crikey don't let no one...Read More

From endemic to pandemic
The media and politicians are taking the mick!
The scary virus gathered then,
Scattered the crowds who now share the fear
And panic!

No one is spared from the crowd now,
If you cough you are in trouble
If you sneeze in public...Read More

Sparing none,
It spread far and wide,
Embracing its victims with a death's grip
An ominous cloud traveling worldwide
Gathering force for it was not yet done

Finding no cure,
Black pools of infection drown cells,
No immune system could wage it's contagion
Dark days to seek a...Read More

Commercials,
Commercials appear suspicious to my jaundiced eye,
and "just pay a separate fee" doesn't garner a sigh.
Because I've been to the rodeo before, you see,
I'm not induced to begin a costly spending spree.

Friends,
I've been hoodwinked by...Read More

IT, Revisited

BEHOLD, this perilous journey, tis a whimsical tale of woe, that is delightfully bespoken, for welcomed ears to bestow, as a clown be found awakening, his oversized feet abound, his frizzy hair stabbed outwardly, murderously left undone. Methodical preparation...Read More

Perhaps a way to turn
from failed
and often violent
retributive justice
to grab healthy hold
of restorative justice

Would ask,
What is this deep difference
between discerning judgment
and moralistic judgment?

To discern,
and not to condemn,
is mutually empowering
and not autonomously powering over another,
against all Others potentially suspicious,
falling short of...Read More

Sex in the air
The mirror is over there
Don't lose the razor blade
Take a line or bump babe
All your fears will fade
Snort, sniff, lick, anyway you want
Feeling sexy & superhuman
Business for the connection is boomin!

Never been this anxious
Paranoia makes me suspicious

Some people believe they derive
from an ancient species that did not survive
and therefore are the last of its kind
much to the relief of those of a mind
suspicious how it managed to keep alive?
Yet grateful they are not derivatives
like anything near...Read More

When you find a marble in your hand or head
(And you will because it will be roundish)
Hurl it immediately at humans to get attention                ...Read More

Songstress
by Michael R. Burch
 
for Nadia Anjuman
 
Within its starkwhite ribcage, how the heart
must flutter wildly, O, and always sing
against the pressing darkness: all it knows
until at last it feels the numbing sting
of death. Then life's brief vision swiftly passes,
imposing...Read More

In need of our mandate, he showcases his boyhood
reaches the throne and locks the available food.
There he goes again, same old trick, same promises
definition of past atrocities softened as near misses.
A commanding manifesto, making each line suspicious
difference in execution, the...Read More

"Struggling"

I've been struggling
Doing things that are puzzling
It's rather troubling
How much liquor I've been guzzling

Shiiiit
I admit

I'm not proud at all
I got a problem with alcohol
It'll be my downfall

If I don't fix it
Instead of always getting twisted
On my end, there's been a...Read More

Is it ‘friendship’ you proffer (to strangers who ask)
If you’re ‘sap for sad stories,’ deny other’s truth,
If you’ve something to barter, a ‘twit’ for ‘twat’ thought, (1)
Good advice you call ‘currency,’ aids in some plot
In which you stand to prosper,...Read More

As traumatized as I am
by the history of organized elitist creeds,
including religious and judicious,

I am even more terrified
by my experience of disorganized unnatural spirituality,
dissociated bicamerality,
unenchanting mono-laterality,
win/lose egocentrism,
narcissism,
flirting with lose/lose climates of nihilism,
anthropocentric chauvinism,
inhumane unnatural straight white male business as usual...Read More

She could jump to conclusions and knew it
But hoped she would be able to do it
Just as she feared
Suspicion leared
She got her nose out of joint and blew it!...Read More

The Tank 

On empty, we drove on. 
There was no place to stop anyway. 
We got in the car before dawn, 
the kids in the back seat. 
the dog with them. 
“Good girl, good girl” stayed silent. 
She knew…

Poems about heartache, 
Poems about knees.
Poems about lost love.
Poems about cheese.

Poems about lettuce,
Poems about tacos,
Poems about kidnapped cats,
Poems about nachos.

Poems are coming out of my fingers.
Poems are coming out of my nose.
Stand back, dear friend.
The poem on you has suspicious...Read More

Vigilant
Guards us daily
Despises strangers

In younger days, my doctor calls
Were few and far between.
A checkup visit wasn’t ever
Part of my routine.

But aging changes all of that
For everyone is trying,
By seeing every specialist,
To staunch the fear of dying.

So now a dermatologist
Will check a brand-new mole.
Suspicious...Read More

Every year when it is sweet Halloween time,
my selfish big brother commits the same crime -
he quick gobbles his candy and then steals mine!
I can't tell cause my parents will say I whine
so this Halloween my mean brother, Bobby,
will feel...Read More

The Great Hall of the People, Beijing.
Mozart tonight.

After the opera,
she appears above us,
stepping out of
a Chinese painting of heaven.
She is the Queen of the Night,
an Ibis arriving amid grackles.

After the performance
she descends into the foyer.
Camera’s whir, we press forward
to glimpse...Read More

Shielded by dark clouds
  from suspicious sun's glare
She slipped out the door
  Took him up on his dare

To find a gentler path
  a rose amidst thorns
To turn her life around
  To wake up every morn

To the...Read More

Suspicious of Being Repetitious 

Some people started being suspicious,
And really had been rather repetitious;
We thought;
With brought;
What did turn out to be their wishes.
