She asked me how to be a poet?
I replied, "Just be"
You are a poem
That nourishes the soul
And
Let the thoughts flow
Naturally
Exclusive eyes
I want to say thank you
You are always the part of everything I write
And the best is yet to come

it comes and goes; from feeling thick, and heavy, to sometimes light-"space cadet" vibes but far from high; you know? i'll pretend to feel alright; boredom.... raises or lowers my appetite;
there's a side that wants that "spice of life"; sometimes.... i just want to feel, you know? alive; because i almost always feel so effing dead inside....

I write my life
book, not on paper
In many heads
I record who I am
and what I experience, just like you
I forget the future
There is no death in me
Hormones run off and on
Cell growers renew me
I don't smell of decay
Only of cheerfulness
and my desire
to live untroubled
in a home without worries
with pussy-cat and orphan plants
my heart full of garlands
scenting of contact
and gently touching you
to be touched
by your hands
by your attention

My clothes are drying,
the wind folds itself warmly --
around my body.

I'm by the sea late
at night, the winds need no sleep --
they're scanning my skin.

Just for a moment
you caress my face, and yet --
it lasts a long time.

Lord, you turned my life around
When you brought me out of the ground
You breathed on me Spirit and Life
And raised me to the higher height
Spirit and Life are your words
Its song is echoed by the birds
I am touched by your love Oh Lord
From your Sacred Heart outpoured
I am moved by the grace you have given
Taken from the dead to the land of the livin'
So inconceivable that you were back
But when you came, I about had a heart attack
Now I stand before you deeply moved
You gently take my hand as it is proved
That you are alive, and it is really you
I stand before you with my hand in your side
And I feel your heart opened wide
I touched my Lord's Most Sacred Heart
And, for me, his work he has set apart

Awkwardly he holds
my hand, just like in photos --
from the olden times.

**** in my nightie,
I still feel his eager hands --
I still feel his breath.

he used his hands to touch around my pure bare smooth skin
and told me it was supposed to feel magical,
but what is magic without a shinny golden lamp?
he rubbed it three time and continued.
he told me that i was a princess, untouchable to others, but him.
set on a perfect seated throne.
that seat was made just for me.
he ignored every blood drip drop
and shoved the glass slipper in as if it fit.
he whispered into my ear
and told me, i sounded like mourning birds chirping
as i screeched horridly being poisoned by an apple.
it felt like a needle pricking in and out of my skin.
laying there in eternity, still and steady.
wishing i could forever sleep.
but how can i sleep forever when he is the beast that has held me captive in his castle of words?
“the princess is supposed to kiss the frog and he will turn into a prince.”
i kissed the frog.
no.
i did even more, but he was nothing like their stories.
his story was different from the books.
he told me it was my fault that i was a singing siren.
i was just too desirable,
so he had to pull me out of the water and show me something new.

From the first time our eyes met
I knew your heart I had to get
I wondered what you'd sound like
If you'd speak, would my heart spike ?
My other half, no more incomplete
The sugar to my bitter, you are so sweet
As he touched me , suddenly I melted
I felt the best part of me being presented
Warm feeling, embarrassing smiles
For you I would go the extra miles

Let me sleep until reality turns grey
Let me breathe until my lungs tear to shreds
Let me live alone in a house with a cat
Let me not be touched or tainted
But the world wants you to be touched
The world wants you to see reality in all its horrifying colors
The world wants you to breathe softly
And to live with the noises and smiles
Of the house you always dreamed of.

Sometimes I crave for a loving heart,
Who has not been touched or torn apart,
But it feels like this world is not meant,
For a soul full of desire compared to art.

Her gaze touched my soul
I saw beyond all futures
A life of torment

I saw your face when I heard the news
I cried too because you were so nice
I swear, I thought you were an angel.
I didn't know you, but you touched me
You sacrificed yourself for this man
That is why you are up in heaven.

The One and Only
by Michael R. Burch
for Beth
If anyone ever loved me,
It was you.
If anyone ever cared
beyond mere things declared;
if anyone ever knew ...
My darling, it was you.
If anyone ever touched
my beating heart as it flew,
it was you,
and only you.

He touched me
And it felt
As if
The stars were dancing
Across my skin

My temple is now tainted
With pretty white roses and a new fragrance
Don’t worry dear,
It will be gone soon
Isn’t it funny how black and white it was?
And now with the sunrise comes gray foggy mornings
Holding your breath as you hold in your stories
And immediately let them spill out
Suppose it were a key to the new you
Or I am just finally free of myself?
You still miss the white roses
But you won’t say that anymore

From a distant,
Your movement,
Your grace,
Your everything has been noticed,
The way you play with the crowd,
And the way they respond back,
Has spoken the truth,
That you are amazing in every way,
It seems that nothing will ever be able to ever make this day more amazing,
Than the performance you’ve given....

I love because I love you, even if it's for too little time or not longer than a life.
I love because I swore to love you the day you were made my wife.
I love you because I love you truly because you so touched my heart and intertwined our souls for my life.
I love you for my life I need you to see I love simply please see me.
