Early Poems XII
These are early poems of mine, written as a boy starting around age eleven, then as a teenager through high school and my first two years of college.
Because You Came to Me
by Michael R. Burch
for Beth
Because you came to me with sweet compassion
and kissed my furrowed brow and smoothed my hair,
I do not love you after any fashion,
but wildly, in despair.
