Anthony Burkett Poems

absence of nourishment
rakes upon the soul
in even well-spaced lines
...

Each heart's soul desire
loving blindness shared
embracing from distant shire
nothing as true as silence giving
...

Could we?
Be so brave
as to offer yet again another invitation to love?
Once again to risk our hearts our souls;
...

We met in evening's gray twilight,
our bodies clasped in sweet delight,
to share the shawl of sultry warmth
as lovers often do.
...

teardrops gently fall
laughing songbirds fill the air
anticipation
...

Myrtle and laughter,
intimately fragranced joy
happily swirling
amidst anticipation,
...

I would if I could
pluck the stars from the heavens
a necklace to make
adornment to beauty's breast
...

The Best Poem Of Anthony Burkett

Picking Strawberries

absence of nourishment
rakes upon the soul
in even well-spaced lines

as arid unforgiving soil
with no fruit to show
the beauty of nature’s labor

enter now spring
with nurturing hope and dreams
blossoming buds coloring green on white

once forsaken now renewed
desolation conquered
a promise laden path

fragranced aroma
of heart shaped love on the vine
tantalizing the senses

pick now while ripe
that birthed of passion
sweet with desire’s delicious nectar
