Robert Edgar Burns Poems

In guilt and shame you bowed your head,
And told me what had transpired.
I thought then I’d be better off dead,
Than to know of your sinful desires.
...

</></> Attractive and alluring
Magnetizing to your minds eye.
She says “I will seduce you! ”
This siren in the night.
...

</> I have so many things wrong with me,
And am being treated by my doctor.
He is a specialist in many fields,
And his nurse is the best proctor!
...

</>
We’re practicing today
A brand new song.
Ole Blue eyes sings I Gotta Be Me.
...

A day I have dreamed about
But knew would never be,
Despite the odds against it,
Is coming true for me!
...

Your name flows freely
Right off of my lips.
Like the milk and honey
From my fingertips.
...

I went to see an attorney,
But I’d been warned by my friends.
I thought he was there to help me.
But he shoved it to me in the end.
...

</>This land that we come from,
Is to us a house of pain!
A bayonet may pierce our ribs
But we have never served in vain.
...

I would love to see the sun rise again
Over the White House someday soon.
It always was so very beautiful
From the Chesapeake Bay by noon.
...

RoseMarie and Rosella,
Asked for pictures of my face.
Buzzards fly when I am near them
With one wing covering their whole face.
...
