Anthony Burkett Poems

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;
...

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

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