Best Swell Up Poems

Why do we need math?
Because it puts us on a narrow path.
Even though it sometimes makes you swell up in wrath.
To most,
Math just causes you stress, 
But thats not the case.
Its a workers base,
Math is in every place.
Math doesn't have a realistic face,
But when it...

Did you ever walk in sunshine, following a rain
Did you ever hold a loved one when you knew they were in pain
Did you ever smile at someone just because you could
Did you ever hug a little child when you told them they'd been good

Did you...

Swallowing soil's nutrients, they swell up under earth -

round or tubular vegetables of edible wholesome delight!

Carrots, beets and onions steadily fuel the body,

but yams, potatoes and parsnips - baked and buttered -

are the ones I ROOT the loudest for!

I'm still running from the spell God cast now
Why can't I be free from all this evil?
Poison swell up my optic, medieval
Elixirs mend emotions for a stay
A night high is better than a nightmare
The truth is I'm afraid to be holy
Loneliness destroys a good time...

Shout and chants that derails youths of their Concentration and goals in life.
Community brought us all together 
But secret societies;
The blacks,blues,yellows,reds,greens.
Each having their own evil agenda,
Killing the dreams of tomorrow 
Our tomorrow, their sad outcome.
They now...

For the  child in us all. . .

Sea, sea can't catch me,
All the waves that I can see,
Would like to carry me away
Swallow my blue-eyed day
Swell up and float away wee, me.

That I respect my blowsy ocean
You cannot be a sea without motion,
Nor I...

He put the shovel in the earth
With dry eyed dread he shakes his head
He's not a man to show emotion
He'll do the job, dig up ground
go through the motions,  build up the mound
before the evening sun goes down.

His wife and son are standing...

Squirrel has peanuts.
A pile of peanuts in their shell
to crack and nibble very well,
and twirl through paws
like a fat baton.

Crow sits atop a lamp pole,
very high and mighty in this place
to survey the lowly rat race
and perhaps, steal a bite.

Squirrel grabs a peanut,
racing away to...

molten times, volcanising immensity, vast plateau
  belly-belching landform
  oceans, shallow seas and lakes swell up and down
  land-bridging, submerging
  any one place moving astride, stutter-shifting
  continental drifting world
  climate changes over faster beating rhythms
  cyclic seasons weathering

Smitten by unrequited love,
rejection's rage grounds fledgling hearts.
And any chance of happiness
is lost before it even starts.

Denial comforts hopeful hearts
left in this vulnerable state.
For they cling tight to the false hope
that time might yet alter their fate.

Always waiting in the shadows;
they keep passion's flame concealed.
For...

When I was a new seminarian
I had a favorite parish priest mentor
who told me the best way to die
is while having an ******.

I wasn't sure if I could ask
why he was so exclamatory sure
of his nakedly compromising position.
I did not really know him all that...

that december, i found my body had really been his all along.
this movie is breaking my heart.
i could have written volumes about the way he was ****ing me,
or the reasons he loved me,
or his favorite ways to die.
and then the summer came, and i gave...

When what do my pondering thoughts become
Now that your visions and affections have tunneled my way
No longer precariously wandering through the confides of my mind
Because of you I enjoy your soft graceful ribbons of warmth
You feed my need for utter emotion slumbering within your ecstasy
Yes...

“Rest in my arms”
Sometimes it’s hard to put my heart into words
As you lift my spirit higher and I soar with the birds
You bring me to levels of unearthly love
Where time seems to stop from this gift from above

God joined our hearts and I can’t...

Skin and Bones

As the tears swell up in my eyes, then fall upon my face
You look at me in despair
I wonder if you loved me, or if you even cared
Was this the real masterpiece, or just an affair
My heart tries to be gentle and cover...
