Robert Edgar Burns Poems

Why would anyone want to teach
The world to sing in harmony,
Or turn their swords into plowshares?
It makes no common sense to me.
...

Baby, oh Baby,
Won’t you look outside tonight?
Come and see the starlight bright,
And from your balcony take delight,
...

My little girl’s heart was breaking,
Watching the movie E T at age three.
Tear drops down her cheeks flooding,
Had moistened the theatre seat.
...

If I could only read your mind,
To see what’s in your heart.
And learn if I am also there,
Even in the smallest part.
...

Friends arrived to say good-bye!
A fond farewell through tear stained eyes.
Memories flood and fill our minds,
Of thoughts of you in better times.
...

I can now find startling beauty
With every morning new.
I've come to know what love is,
Just because of you.
...

I am on my knees,
Holding your soft hand.
Would you honor me,
And let me be your man?
...

Candlelight dinners and
Your deep piercing eyes.
Those passionate kisses.
Leave me tantalized.
...

Do you feel uncomfortable
Each time you hear me say,
That I love you Oh my darling,
Each and every single day?
...

Sunlight catches on dew dampened leaves,
Pictures of silver from solitary trees!
Beams of bright white come peeking inside,
Escaping through branches as it meets my eyes.
...
