Erin
by Michael R. Burch
All that’s left of Ireland is her hair—
bright carrot—and her milkmaid-pallid skin,
her brilliant air of cavalier despair,
her train of children—some conceived in sin,
the others to avoid it. For nowhere
is evidence of thought. Devout, pale, thin,
gay, nonchalant, all radiance. So fair!
How can men look upon her and not spin
like wobbly buoys churned by her skirt’s brisk air?
They buy. They ***** to pat her nyloned shin,
to share her elevated, pale Despair ...
to find at last two spirits ease no one’s.
All that’s left of Ireland is the Care,
her impish grin, green eyes like leprechauns’.

Too familiar with midnight’s
request for salvation as music and dreams
Like millions of songs,
there’ no tiring of millions of roads
sacrificing my best
if I give you all that I am,
all these passages I’ve been
Will you take me to your sweet side,
let me in your mind though
Let it be known
that Jesus thought of me
so seeing you divine comes easy
and as eternally as songs
I’m here singing
devout, devout
devout to you and your sweet side

Rubayiat Al Thurab (Verses of the Dust) - 74
BismillahIr RahmanIr Raheem
Either the divine nature or five key elements
What I carefully designed never sees the difference
Between the mortal and divine nature.
Oh you the devout believer and non-believer
Who are you? To religiously observe
the potential difference in between you?
I, here to divinely reveal you
the eternal truth, As your divine creator!
I undoubtedly stand, As your independent reviewer.
Don't judge in between yourself,
And I undoubtedly do!
Faithfully follow the eternal truth.
Which ordinarily reside in your loyal heart.
Indeed the heart set in liberal side,
But habitually reveal the Ultimate Truth!

Rubayiat Al Thurab (Verses of the Dust) – 40
BismillahIr RahmanIr Raheem
I am willingly the faqeer. (devout wanderer)
Who eagerly drank the Eternal Drink’
Through your noble hand, Oh my beloved!
Nor, there are any shelter, nor there is bond.
In Your Eternal Love, I wander wherever I naturally want,
And gently set my poised head upon the sacred earth,
And at ease myself, under the opened vast sky!
Allah Khair….. Khairul Rabul Alameen Yah Arrahmanur Yah Raheem

Devout people are truly trite
They peer in others
To see only light.
For they react like mothers.
Never doubt the gold
For as I know
“Nothing gold stays”.
To them I don't reap what I sow,
To them gold could never grow cold.
I do ease them into the night
When I show my light.
For those who take my gold
Adore my sight.
