You were created to **** I was Killed to create This - caught between our chests - Now, Still rested by fate As our souls wait - and breath - Abate We cast these stones - At each other's feet We each take part - in this construct Each side our own - Ye, Defeat Yet - Take this heart - Before we again - SELF-DESTRUCT You killed the concience I created little souls You created catastrophy I killed fears toll You speared carrions I constructed dreams We shared moments In the schemes Within the Between Between the glares Between our words Before the pages dark and bold Between the ages of sages - untold Between the table and dice at play I found a man I would love - til the grave Yet I fear beyond fear and hope beyond hope That he loves me and keeps me - even if only as slave I care not in what manner you speak If like kisses like lilac or sharp like raven beak All I know is you are the rope The one that I climb out of the dark with You are the hope that loosed the knot You are the best way to cope You are everything...That I am not. But most of all At the end of this fall I am so happy for the trip that we had I will take you at your best - Good with the Bad I am so sorry for the words thrown like ache That got stuck in some ice riddled lake I am sorry for the times that I walked I am sorry for the times I couldn't talk Or the times I carry on Like that wistful whistling song Trapped in your heart When the night grows too long You are the words to every poem I wrote You are the song with no final note You are the moment I was found I want to be your coat I wish to be your shelter from storms I need to be by your side I am the cool to your stride Thank you, My Kith, My Kin My Kaynine - and Fae The dark elf girl Who cackles through the smoke You.

I've been pacing from room to room Waiting for the world to stimulate Something other than haunting gloom Scroll unrolling a new series of emotions Trends are mountaintops so better follow The path is winding and this high peaked Enjoy the view of this digital landscape As the rest of the world crumbles at your Feet

peep this...you can't see the forest or the trees because of material in the way, and when you hold up a mirror, you see perfection...i never liked mirrors, because i want to see something new...yes i was born and raised in ohio up up in ohio two brothers got together to talk about some wings to talk about the weather thanks for the wind lord we have to spread the word eagles can't even speak we need wings like a bird on orville's death bed his wishes were his plan please use this bird for good and let the pilot only be a man moral of this story is that the female was trying to prove something and landed near cannibals, who only thought of living and not proving the wright brothers doing for fellow man...women aren't evil, but will be used as a vessel until they accept their role...to be whole...i know it's offensive to women, but it's logical to religion and science alike. My favorite writer ever is Mary Shelley, and one of my favorite poets and singers is Chrissy Hinde. Women aren't less than men, so when they don't feel a need to prove it, things will change. Just trying to think of a whole, and what it takes, Because that will make me whole. Love. look at their names the wRIGHT brothers amelia AIRheart drones controlled by women refer to documentary "america's bird" sinister maybe someone else invented flight...maybe god maybe nasa

symbolism, and why you **** at writing - funhouse version
One day I hope to put these feelings down in writing To find a way to simplify the way these carry me The smell of worn leather and pine trees in December A cold wind and a creek half frozen The line of trees that separate my house from the wilderness And how some days I wish I could disappear in there with you We would hunt and forage forge a path of our own Play an out of tune guitar around a smoldering fire We would live in the trees and hide in the grass You would braid my hair and we would dance barefoot in a clearing To the sound of cicadas and leaves underfoot I love, I miss, I want you. I hope for you. More than I will ever be able to tell you.

Woodland Dreams
The town I’m from has a history an excommunication of diversity at the helm of self-serving Caucasian propriety. My sister is 50 percent black - her ancestors once ran towards the freedom promised in the small towns like this one. This small town - 97.4 percent white - instead hung her ancestors in the town square, jeered at their attempts to live among the same people who were proud to live in a land of freedom. Only certain freedoms are allowed, however, in towns like this one - only a freedom of a certain color.

Ali's Song by Michael R. Burch for Muhammad Ali They say that gold don't tarnish. It ain't so. They say it has a wild, unearthly glow. A man can be more beautiful, more wild. I flung their medal to the river, child. I flung their medal to the river, child. They hung their coin around my neck; they made my name a bridle, "called a ***** a ***** They say their gold is pure. I say defiled. I flung their slave's name to the river, child. I flung their slave's name to the river, child. Ain't got no quarrel with no Viet Cong that never called me ****** did me wrong. A man can't be lukewarm, 'cause God hates mild. I flung their notice to the river, child. I flung their notice to the river, child. They said, "Now here's your bullet and your gun, and there's your cell: we're waiting, you choose one." At first I groaned aloud, but then I smiled. I gave their "future" to the river, child. I gave their "future" to the river, child. My face reflected up, dark bronze like gold, a coin God stamped in His own image—BOLD. My blood boiled like that river—strange and wild. I died to hate in that dark river, child, Come, be reborn in this bright river, child. The poem above has been set to music in a YouTube video by Lillian Y. Wong. You are free to copy the poem for noncommercial use, such as a school project, essay or report, or just because you like it and want to share, but please credit Michael R. Burch as the author. NOTES: (1) Muhammad Ali said that he threw his Olympic gold medal into the Ohio River after experiencing racism in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Confirming his account, the medal was recovered by Robert Bradbury and his wife Pattie in 2014 during the Annual Ohio River Sweep. The Ali family paid $200,000 to regain possession of the medal. Ali later made a joke about the incident that caused him to toss his medal into the river. He said that he took his medal into a white downtown restaurant and ordered a cheeseburger. The waitress told him, "We don't serve negroes." Ali replied, "I don't eat them either. Just bring me a cheeseburger!" (2) When drafted during the Vietnam War, Ali refused induction, reputedly saying: "I ain't got no quarrel with those Viet Cong; no Vietnamese ever called me a ****** (3) The notice mentioned in my poem is Ali's draft notice, which metaphorically gets tossed into the river along with his slave name. (4) The poem was originally published by the literary journal Black Medina. It has since been published by Other Voices International, Thanal Online, Freshet, Poems About and Poem List. For Ali, Fighting Time by Michael R. Burch So now your speech is not as clear . . . time took its toll each telling year . . . and O how tragic that your art, so brutal, broke your savage heart. But we who cheered each blow that fell within that ring of torrent hell never dreamed to see you maimed, bowed and bloodied, listless, tamed. For you were not as other men as we cheered and cursed you then; no, you commanded dreams and time— blackgold Adonis, bold, sublime. And once your glory leapt like fire— pure and potent. No desire ever burned as fierce or bright. Oh Ali, Ali . . . win this fight! Me? Whee! (I stole this poem From Muhammad Ali.) —Michael R. Burch The poem above was written in response to the Quora question: “Can you write a poem titled “Me”? In My House by Michael R. Burch I was once the only caucasian in the software company I founded and managed. I had two fine young black programmers working for me, and they both had keys to my house. This poem looks back to the dark days of slavery and the Civil War it produced. When you were in my house you were not free— in chains bound. Manifest Destiny? I was wrong; my plantation burned to the ground. I was wrong. This is my song, this is my plea: I was wrong. When you are in my house, now, I am not free. I feel the song hurling itself back at me. We were wrong. This is my history. I feel my tongue stilting accordingly. We were wrong; brother, forgive me. Published by Black Medina Poet to poet by Michael R. Burch This poem imagines a discussion between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who spoke so poetically about his dream of equality, and a poet who speaks in parentheses. I have a dream (pebbles in a sparkling sand) of wondrous things. I see children (variations of the same man) playing together. Black and yellow, red and white, (stone and flesh, a host of colors) together at last. I see a time (each small child another's cousin) when freedom shall ring. I hear a song (sweeter than the sea sings) of many voices. I hear a jubilation (respect and love are the gifts we must bring) shaking the land. I have a message, (sea shells echo, the melody rings) the message of God. I have a dream (all pebbles are merely smooth fragments of stone) of many things. I live in hope (all children are merely small fragments of One) that this dream shall come true. I have a dream . . . (but when you're gone, won't the dream have to end?) Oh, no, not as long as you dream my dream too! Here, hold out your hand, let's make it come true. (i can feel it begin) Lovers and dreamers are poets too. (poets are lovers and dreamers too) I, Too, Have a Dream by Michael R. Burch writing as “The Child Poets of Gaza” I, too, have a dream ... that one day Jews and Christians will see me as I am: a small child, lonely and afraid, staring down the barrels of their big bazookas, knowing I did nothing to deserve their enmity. I, too, have a dream ... My Nightmare ... by Michael R. Burch writing as “The Child Poets of Gaza” I had a dream of Jesus! Mama, his eyes were so kind! But behind him I saw a billion Christians hissing "You're nothing!," so blind. Less Heroic Couplets: Miss Bliss by Michael R. Burch Domestic “bliss”? Best to swing and miss!

My wife holds my hand tightly as we enter the tiny church The harsh odor of wet wool, cotton and dust fills the foyer The pews are full.  The signature book thick with names Sifting through, we find a seat as the dirge comes to a close The preacher is loud and sweaty and a distant cousin, I’m told His mud-brown suit and tie clash against the stage’s ornate bouquets He assures us there’s a heaven and that my grandfather was a good man His thick southern draw a slow assault; the eulogy, a battleground Stories are shared, and they are sweet. He paints a righteous man Hands are raised, amens shouted. A relative grips me hard and weeps In Jesus name, hallelujah, the lord giveth; the lord taketh away Bow your head in prayer, he says. Let us remember our brother And I remember. Images enter my head, and I clench my teeth The drunken fights with grandma, the hammer used to defend herself The scar on his palm, the knife mom drove through his calloused hand The dark coat closet, the sound of the lock his children heard, the cries The line to his casket is long. The sobs overpowering the morose hymn His children are lined next to him. My grandmother is holding his hand I lean in to see him one last time.  His red nose has vanished He smells of embalming fluid, and his shirt is wet with tears

Ohio Men
An hour away, a petal falls A petal, a petal, a petal They fly to Utah, they fly to Maine They fly to Brazil, they fly to Spain A petal falls, a petal falls. Watch them drift, watch them land They are passed from hand to hand Across our minds, across our home We watched it grow, we let them go A petal, a petal, a petal

Petals of a Rose
He did not deserve me- Though he ended up with me, out of pure loneliness On one end, And horiness on the other- He didn’t deserve me. I am a strong and free woman, Head held high, Walking proudly through the crowd Of judgement. He wanted to cage me, To tame me. Maim me when I misspoke With the ****** misconduct Of his **** Left his mess for me to mop And drug his palm against my face When I didn’t do it quick enough. I’m into some sick and twisted stuff, But that doesn’t mean I have to dedicate my life To a sick and twisted person. He saw an opportunity and abused it, Completely. Ruined a Led Zeppelin album Because he needed quick pleasure. A sin. To me, it was torture Beyond any measure. There is no safeword to stop him From using me that the repeated Shouting of the word “no” Shouldn’t override. Sobs and dry heaving And unlimited tears that darted down my cheeks Every time he forced himself Deeper inside of me Couldn’t trump a measly “safeword”. Sneering down at me, Forcing my legs open As he stole the one thing I’d always asked him not to take away- My trust in men as an entire gender. And of course, Something as simple as getting off quick Could never seem that complicated, That complex, In his miniscule male mind. He came and went- Dipped to college, Got with new girls after Shaving his beard off once he left, Revealing that he was still a boy All along. Under the dad *** of the year And sneer that was covered In ****** hair, Starred a scared boy Right back at me. He drinks to numb his pain While I’m back at home with A broken liver. And it’s more of a slap in the face Than finding out earlier That he was cheating on me The entire time Anyway. Stings. More than the quick slaps Across the face I’d receive for Disrespecting him. He texts me- On the day my crush, My other half that I’ve yet to meet Sends me an update on his life. Cuffed in Mississippi For a plant. Mississippi- The same place my sister went After getting strung out. The place I was at When my little survivor pup Was hit by a pickup. There’s nothing good In the big Miss. Only terrible roads and greasy food. On the other end, the runaway ****** Was telling me he was trying to “Better himself”. Asked if we were okay, And then proceeded to make the conversation About himself, As he’d proudly done so many times before. How stealth- Can’t find a better man, she lies. Hands tied, Just like i’d asked you to, But more than that. In my mind, as well. You’ll rot in hell For what you did to me. No, I didn’t go after him. No, I didn’t tell anyone at first. No, I never told his college. What the **** would you even go to college In Ohio for? Cornologist? No, I didn’t pursue him further after… It. Karma is my friend. And I have all the time in the world, Curing myself, Not drinking myself to death And sleeping with every man Big enough to swing his **** around. I’m bettering myself, too. Even if I’m not allowing him to see.

Sneering down at me, Forcing my legs open As he stole the one thing I’d always asked him not to take away- My trust in men as an entire gender. And of course, Something as simple as getting off quick Could never seem that complicated, That complex, In his miniscule male mind. He came and went- Dipped to college, Got with new girls after Shaving his beard off once he left, Revealing that he was still a boy All along. Under the dad *** of the year And sneer that was covered In ****** hair, Starred a scared boy Right back at me. He drinks to numb his pain While I’m back at home with A broken liver. And it’s more of a slap in the face Than finding out earlier That he was cheating on me The entire time Anyway. Stings. More than the quick slaps Across the face I’d receive for Disrespecting him. He texts me- On the day my crush, My other half that I’ve yet to meet Sends me an update on his life. Cuffed in Mississippi For a plant. Mississippi- The same place my sister went After getting strung out. The place I was at When my little survivor pup Was hit by a pickup. There’s nothing good In the big Miss. Only terrible roads and greasy food. On the other end, the runaway ****** Was telling me he was trying to “Better himself”. Asked if we were okay, And then proceeded to make the conversation About himself, As he’d proudly done so many times before. How stealth- Can’t find a better man, she lies. Hands tied, Just like i’d asked you to, But more than that. In my mind, as well. You’ll rot in hell For what you did to me. No, I didn’t go after him. No, I didn’t tell anyone at first. No, I never told his college. What the **** would you even go to college In Ohio for? Cornologist? No, I didn’t pursue him further after… It. Karma is my friend. And I have all the time in the world, Curing myself, Not drinking myself to death And sleeping with every man Big enough to swing his **** around. I’m bettering myself, too. Even if I’m not allowing him to see.

There's a girl from Ohio. She's only searchin' for true love, but her hands are tied to the whipping post in the town square where she grew up. And there's a boy who lives next to her. He walks past her nearly every day. But he thinks that she's lost her little mind, so he just turns from her and walks away. Her father is a minister, and her mother is a ghost now. She never learned to say hello, but she prob'ly wouldn't anyhow. Well, there's a girl from Ohio. She's only searchin' for true love, but her hands are tied to the whipping post in the town square where she grew up. Now her tears mix with the raindrops fallin' on top of her. Her heart's caving like a cabin roof, and you know there's no saving her. And you can hear her moaning in the night if you bend your ear to her, hear her yell. And even though you don't know her name, you know her story all too well. And there's a girl from Ohio. She's only searchin' for true love, but her hands are tied to the whipping post in the town square where she grew up.

Whipping Post Blues
Ohio sunsets in late summer are amazing. The sky becomes cotton candy with pinks and blues and the temperature begins to drop. The clouds swirl and stretch. You can hear a train in the distance with a faint breeze. It feels great to drive around with the windows down and listen to music. Ohio sunsets in late summer are amazing.

Midwest Realizations
I woke up to the falling snow it is gentle and quiet as if it holds the breath of the world hostage with heavy silence twirling and swaying, so trance-like in the dance unsure of whether to rest crystal droplets upon the branches or to settle and expand into a sea of glistening winter white— reflecting ribbons of early light that crash through the pale branches of the still sleeping trees in the distance I can see the sparkle of their halos standing out against a wisp of clouds.

Wayward Tab
All this must disappear - crosswise minor roadways and State Road with its bleating traffic, plazas where pennies melt into palms of Middle Eastern merchants, Chinese, Nepalese, Indian or what have you, road signs for New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toledo, Youngstown, Columbus, Sandusky or what have you. All this must disappear - the ****** gardens on Ohio River banks, railways rusted retired and ready to sink silently into the soil and stone, back yard above-ground swimming pool algae beds and front porch family-festival fetanyl parades, All this must disappear - gas station dollar altars and decaying or decayed Irondale tennant building windows, ***** community college self-defined street scientists gathered in old high school parking lots discussing politics and the Pleiades and the fastest way out of the galaxy or the slowest way into an easy death. All this must disappear, from Walnut Beach to Wheeling, and the rust lift and assemble into something lovely tomorrow's youth can work with, can love and can sit atop the hills and smile and be content in knowing while I sit on the sidewalk and be glad the future finally showed up.

Rust
I left my home in the hands of estranged friends only to find it again nearly two years later, a weekend in Cleveland. I made it to the door with the last sleepy tendrils of sun flaking from drooping eyes. Communion is served at 5:30 sharp by hands adorned with hard work. The elements are passed, fire and glass, 'round a table with seats for 6. It is then I realized... in the half-light it was decided. I never left the pew. My religion is still community.

Gin and Ginger Ale
In the gray light of this late autumn morning a young mother with holiday bags on her arms and another set underneath her eyes, carries on – assuming with positive intent – the American tradition of some overweight man crawling through chimneys. Stepping out unscathed by soot. Her son, barely three and giddy with trust, hungrily eats this up like a peaceful Thanksgiving meal. These lies that we carry cautiously like gifts and pass onto our children like genes who then pass them onto his or her friends always (in the end) come back unpleasantly to hurt us.
