Tall Poems

Her oil indulgence...

Her oil indulgence...
It was all over her hair tress and
Permeated in her whole skin too
From top to toe
And the drape slips away

'Her nape just uplifted her bun on air'
'Her breast embellished those glinted mamila'
'Her navel yet to lose...Read More

Hello, everyone.
Pay attention to these words
Of encouragement.

Just like you, I'm scared.
And we're facing the biggest
Fight of our lives.

But heed my warning:
You cannot be stubborn and
Act so immature.

Life is way too short
For fussing, name-calling, and
Hurting each other.

During these tough times,
We must...Read More

If I, like Rip Van Winkle, should fall asleep and wake up 20 years later,                         ...Read More

She’s no longer young.
Her calves strain
in tall stilettos.

She carries herself carefully
hips tilted
above a sloping floor.

Something worth preserving
is squeezing sacrificial feet,
and behind the pumps
a life mostly in step 
with yesterday.

Something of her style
(no longer fashionable),
still tilts at windmills;
an old school aplomb.

Dear Davey, my darling, my bright pirate boy
Your lips are the prize in the night of my joy
Your eyes can erase me or teach me the cure
Of how you can face me by all you endure

Your sigh is the sign...Read More

LEAVES

My mind wanders, as I sit at my cluttered desk, trying desperately to contact our clients.  Working from home during the Covid-19 Lock down, is a challenge with no staff.
 I imagine myself sitting in a field of abundant...Read More

Early this morning it was warm and bright
Song birds sweetly singing in the sunlight
I was out in my garden as I started to prune
Weeding, knowing flowers will be sprouting soon

The morning was soon afternoon and turned hot
I looked for my...Read More

It only made sense to me-

like I only wade in destiny,

like I only drink very dark tea,
on summer mornings when they are scorching...

It only made sense to me,

like it's scoring the dividers detracting O' tall and torry,
at the worried hello...Read More

The Genie-us crawled silently out of the old clock, 
and climbed up the bookshelves at night

The Genie-us then read from the pages forbidden, 
feeling shame with a lusty delight

The Genie-us returned as the sun came up, 
crawling inside the tall...Read More

Sun Sitting
At last, the winds of March slow to a lighter breeze
and the chills cool to soft sunlight warming,
rains have blown out to sea
as the grasses grow, lanky tall and green
in between hyacinths and daffodil scent the air with color
waftig...Read More

six foot tall and stout
long brunette hair cascading 
what a big bum she has

five foot three and fat
a blonde promiscuous lass
she’s never without

very skinny girl
short haired and too muscular
a lesbian indeed

a girl who’s crippled
courageous and spirited
basketball player

woman with tattoos
hair spiked...Read More

Blossom of baby's breath
soft white gorse
               crusted yellow
weeping willow
rush patterned lace 
              pastures...Read More

The sun is rising, the moon is lighting,
The millions of birds are flying and chirping, 
The insects are crawling and does flying. 
As long as, the grass are growing, color green and 
Flowers bloom and plants grow.

As long as, the...Read More

I don’t mind your hurt in my heart
I don’t mind you, tearing all of me apart
Wipe my tears away for your sake alone
I don’t need your help; I can do it on my own

I don’t mind your hurt during these...Read More

Your transition is a miracle 
A Divine orchestrated Oracle 
Like the ever-changing caterpillar 
Metamorphosed into a butterfly 

 Graceful and Beautiful
 Bright and Colourful 
Gracefully transforming its body 
Spinning itself like a silky cocoon 

 For a season, it goes...Read More

gnarly squirrels nest
too high for a tall giraffe

I open the door, where I am free
Fresh air moves me, as if I have wings
I float with dreams, nature carries me

To all the places where my heart sings
I stare at all the movement around
Fresh air moves me, as if...Read More

The worst wrong out of all
Is caging a bird, it’s the most unnatural thing.
The bird used to fly over tall-
Mountains but they tied his wing..

It’s not only about the birds,
It’s about us as well.
We need freedom from herds, 
This I...Read More

I was lost lonely longing for peace;
Until I found a fabulous fern;
It turned into a tall tree;

But before I completely captured the click
My eyes earned an eerie sight;
I was made into a malcontent man;

I saw a mysterious mansion;
The whole world...Read More

Beckoning
by Michael R. Burch

Yesterday the wind whispered my name
while the blazing locks
of her rampant mane
lay heavy on mine.
And yesterday
I saw the way
the wind caressed tall pines
in forests laced by glinting streams
and thick with tangled vines.
And though she reached
for me in...Read More

As Wallace lay on wood and blood
His own, his care he did not heed
Thoughts of moors and springtime flood
Purple glens, the heather's bud
The truth he knew had been his deed

The court had called him traitor thee
Sentenced him, like pawn, an...Read More

Marvin and Abe went fishing all day
all they caught was a lady named Mae
she was tall and thin
she loved to drink gin
both men didn't like her to sing rae

The silence was as loud as the noise had ever been
You miss your friends and family a hug is what you need 
We craze the company of others  our normal routine

I‘ll have a Bailey’s Irish cream thank you and 
keep them coming.
You know it’s not fair really.
I just went to my mother’s funeral.
That , forgive me but there is no other word,
That  died before I could tell her
what I...Read More

Quiet Soul

1963
Her skin is that of alabaster. Wide circles of red rouge pronounced her thin lips and each cheek.
She is soulfully unique.
Her hair of dried stalk was approving to her eyes of vacuous emeralds.
She traveled the two blocks from her...Read More
