Sigh...
Aight.

I'm done with this small life
Indoor life
Closed-door life
I wanna shout about it
I wanna tell all my thoughts
and maybe you'll agree upon it!

Now this a hunch
Let me know, what'd you have for lunch
Canned beans?
Again?
Oh, that's right.

Stay home kids,
Stay home peeps,
Lessen the curve,
let's do this!

If you're done with this life,
then do somethin' 'bout it.
Stay home!
This will all be over much faster,
If you would,
JUST,
Stay home!

Sigh...
Hi all! Social distancing helps so please please please try to quarantine as much as possible in your residence/home and only go out for essentials!

****** Analysis
by Michael R. Burch

This is not what I need . . .
****-ysis,
paralysis,
as though I were a seed
to be planted,
supported
with a stick and some string
until I emerge.
Your words
are not water. I need something
more nourishing,
like cherishing,
something essential, like love
so that when I climb
out of the lime
and the mulch. When I shove
myself up
from the muck . . .
we can ****.

"All you need is love"
-The Beatles

If there is one thing we need in life
It is not water, food, or air
Money, power, success, or fame
But somebody to be there
We do not need talent, luck, or skill
Or all the above
The single essential in life
We cannot exist without is love

Hello Prolly May 2019
​​we live
​​in dreams
​​and fears
​​
​​feeling hopeless
​​for not getting
​​what we desperately need
​​
​​and we hardly know
​​other ways
​​to tell
​​
-
​​
​​They blame,
burning you

​​
​​Listen to them,
​​and you'll see It.
​​Forgive them,
​​they don't mean it.
​​
​​You blame yourself
burning too

​​
​​Listen to yourself,
​​and you'll see It.
​​Forgive yourself,
​​you don't mean it.
​​
​​-

​​so hopelessly in need,
​​being either
Them or You,

​​do feed the need
​​unless you need
not to live

The beauty of the winter would not be
If not a single flake of snow did fall
Its brilliant shine doth fill the heart with glee
And every childlike eye does it enthrall

So too the beach without the ocean wave
Deserts too are filled with golden sand
The roaring surf and salty wind we crave
We love the way the sea invades the land

And what if flowers did not come with spring
No rainbow colored show upon the ground
It'd be as if the world forgot to sing
What is the worldwide dance without the sound?

Your presence fills my life with brighter hue
My world would lose its "lovely" without you
Sonnet form

I've found you, runnning everywhere
in my bloodstream
I've found you, to be the power source
for my heartbeat
I've found you, to be the essential part
in a perfect dream

Yes I do feel very attracted to her
I must admit
Mary Frances Sep 2018
From the moment we met,
I knew you were special.
You became my life-changer,
someone essential, substantial.
You made every quote I created remarkable,
Every poem I've written, memorable.

At the end of the day
He asked, ”why we need to sleep?”

I answered,
To dream a better tomorrow.

Try it
Sleep
Deeper sleep
Yes, you got it

But never pretend
Else,
One will not dream.
