There are different shades of darkness
in this wretched world.
From the boy who quivers all alone,
to the weak and humble girl.
There is darkness in this wretched land,
some darker than the rest.
For there’s darkness everywhere we stand,
to see the light we would be blessed.
To look beyond the daunting black,
to dance in darkness ‘til
the sun comes up and rises again.
But shadows stay dark, still.

There are different shades of darkness,
each unique to everyone.
So find the light within your hearts,
and always try to find the sun.

“There are different shades of darkness inside of everyone.
So look beyond the shadows, and seek for the sun.”
A poem I wrote 3-4 years ago🖤

Shades of green
Softly flow as lucid dreams
A pristine gleam
Rising heights towards the light
Gentle tones as canes bow
The air parts through yellow darts
Our periphery unseen

Sharp leaves and strength condensed
Where short roots shape new shoots
Support structures or weapons of war
To create beauty or destruction
The choice be yours

I am painting myself in shades of grey
Dipping the brush
Contouring away
Bright colors have no place here today
Just a simple expression of emotion

I wanna talk to my women every second of every day.
I wanna be all over her face every minute.
I wanna vibe with her.
I wanna be able to tell her my deepest secrets and still be able to joke about it the following day.
I am a vibe and i love stealing kisses from your lips.

For your sake i will conquer any peaks and mountains.
I am ready for anything your soul wants.
When i met you for the first time i realized that you are my destiny.
Thats it is with you i must live this life.
It is you who will let me live and not exist.
Its your love that can save me from sadness.
Your care will always warm me.

To love you means to see the sun through the clouds.
To feel the heat even on cold evenings.
To hear music through the silence.
Giving you the gaze charm and charms.
It sparkles and shines so let it last forever.

Here i am standing in front of you.
Five centimeters from the long awaited kiss.
Imperious touch of the lips.
Heart palpitations heat in the lower abdomen.
A kiss on the tje neck can break the conditions shackles of my heart.

Your slave cuncubine is looking forward to her sentence.
A gentle whisper.
A kiss running through her spine.

I would like to open up my heart to you.
But i lack the skills.
I am short for words.
Because my heart harbors so many good feelings towards you that the dictionary seems to short to express all this love.

I feel an immense and endless love for you.
Immensely cause it's almost impossible to measure it to anything.
Endless its our given name ir reassures us that it will endure all the winters ahead.

It will reach fall with a royal dignity of an oak tree.
This immense love is all yours.
It moves and targets my thoughts towards feelings and beauty.
With you plus the emotion that your existence and closeness brings me.

Make me capable of overcoming all the dangers and obstacles live may bring.
With you I'm unable to succumb to sadness and desperation.
You smile brings me trust and joy.
You turned out to be a part of my happy soul.
Yes my love you are the one that makes it happy.
Today i want tbe entire world sing it and i tell it to you how much my love is for you.
Its eternal and like a piano without sound.
You have won it. 🌹🌹🌹

Sometimes the Dead
by Michael R. Burch

Sometimes we catch them out of the corners of our eyes—
     the pale dead.
          After they have fled
the gourds of their bodies, like escaping fragrances they rise.

Once they have become a cloud’s mist, sometimes like the rain
     they descend;
they appear, sometimes silver like laughter,
to gladden the hearts of men.

Sometimes like a pale gray fog, they drift
     unencumbered, yet lumbrously,
          as if over the sea
there was the lightest vapor even Atlas could not lift.

Sometimes they haunt our dreams like forgotten melodies
     only half-remembered.
          Though they lie dismembered
in black catacombs, sepulchers and dismal graves; although they have committed felonies,

yet they are us. Someday soon we will meet them in the graveyard dust
     blood-engorged, but never sated
          since Cain slew Abel.
But until we become them, let us steadfastly forget them, even as we know our children must ...

From afar

With that elegance
Mystified simplicity
It's irony to
Wear the rainbow
Until the end of light

If the rain drop
Into the face
And you find no where
To hide
You will too, left
Black and white
As a mirror
To me

After all
The Color of your soul
Casts celestial vibes
No one resist
Without complimenting
"One of a kind"

Beauty fades
But not like yours
Yesterday
And
Always

Phenomenal
Genre: Experimental
Theme: Through My Eyes
Author's Note: Black is basic, I wear black to appreciate all the contrasting colors to regard everything beautiful.

Swallowed by the waves 
that birthed me,
I shout at the moon
as angels with broken wings
drag me by my bleeding feet

The scars that mark my skin
are all shades of blue,
they carry stories I whisper
into the night winds
that sweep them back to me

The sleeping world crumbles
under the weight of my tongue,
acid words pouring 
from my blazing chest,
my breath sets the skies on fire

Swollen tissue, aching bone,
kings and queens watch me
walk over the line
that goes along their spines
and leads nowhere
and everywhere.
