There we were all lined up, the girls dressed like little brides, the boys in white shirts and ties, hands joined in a slow shuffle towards the wholly incomprehensible.

If Not For Love by Michael R. Burch, circa age 18 The little child who cries, brushing sleep from startled eyes, might not have awakened from her dreams to fill the night with plaintive screams if not for love. The little collie pup who tore the sofa up and pleads here in a mournful crouch, might not have ripped apart the couch if not for love. And...

—A Discourse Beyond Empires You come to Beijing in polished shoes, Wearing history like a crown of thorns, António and Ursula—names carved from conquest, Eyes soaked in the smoke of fading empires. For fifty years, you called us rivals— Now you call it friendship. But friendship built on suspicion Is nothing but diplomacy’s ghost. We are not like you— You measure greatness by how far...

Title: Children of Broken Promises (25 Lines) They signed their names in ink made of blood, A treaty scrawled on the bones of the poor. They shook hands under marble skies, While cities burned in silent uproar. Children played with bullets for toys, Lullabies hummed in the throat of a drone. A mother stitched hope into her shawl, But war tore the thread and...

When I was born, there was no one to hold my mind. Only a faded sky and a mother trembling above a forgotten prayer. My thought was born fatherless. And I raised it alone, with hands dirty from paramedics and alphabet. I wrote before I spoke. I spoke before I was heard. And still I search in all the words I never dared to write....

I’ve known my mother since before I had a shape, when my soul — a seed of silent stars, was still searching for its furrow. I was an imperceptible vibration, a faint flicker in the chasm between being and not-being, and she — the only soil where I could take root. She never promised time would be gentle, but she gave me her...

You are a Child of light, my love. born in shadow, but you became the sun. Levitated like an immortal, from the captivated grounds grew as a rose in the concrete cracks of the bloody cold streets You are a Child of Light, my angel torn from the roots that were interwined in your veins The devil played its riddles, but...

We joked about how his name might sound when he grew older. Laughs and tears rolled down our cheeks. ...

Cherished moments spent With your bestest friend a sharing, Quietly sitting side-by-side, Thoughtfully, at simply nothing, staring, Just shooting-the-breeze together And for each other caring. ...

It seems so long since I've seen his face, This is no longer a home, it's just a place. If you could catch it, share it, This one's inner light, it might light the sky On Earth's darkest of nights. It might save all of us, I believe this will happen, And lighten and brighten, God's beautiful canvas. It may be a...

Blue-eyed baby. Eyes as blue as the ocean. Hair as blonde as the sand at the shore. Blue-eyed baby, how you’ve changed my world. Blue-eyed boy, how you’ve grown. How I love you more than all the shells in the sea. Shine, my beautiful blue-eyed boy, may you brighten the day of everyone you meet as...

Light I see so dim My eyes blur as they humour my sin I watch and wait while they teach And nod and annoy my eye and throat My write scratches and marks I smile when I remember my stupidity Not happily I think and i wish, But it is not something I do Though I wish, and laugh This with no wave as light Will...
