The Swelling Boomerang
Four scores and seventy 
ingrained in blood stained garments
ancestors still rumbling in their graves
impatient souls lamenting their years 
pages kept turning
pens are writing
and the story is unfolding

Dead trees hang over broken walls
threadbare buildings stand solemnly
in a city that was once their home
mothers weeping for their...

The Swelling of Nature
Look arround,
every thing you see
are bright freshness of air
in which man,
dwells heather.
Yeah, the environment,
it's the swelling of nature....

Honey tasting, Sweet thin, Swelling Lust, Never enough! The ever giving, Wanted and thrilling, Waves of overwhelming, heated need. This my intensity, wasted on nothing, memory will always heed.

Still the past, Make it the presence, Travel with me, Years be gone, We...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Swelling
The beating and pumping of vitality,
Floats down the protrusion of acceptance and validity,
And your consciousness slithers out of my hand.

Rather than soaring among the vapors,
You pool in the soil and muddle innocence,
Dripping and swirling in melted mercy,
You cloud conclusions and rid my body of clarity.

Plumes...

Cleavage Deep Then Swelling
cleavage deep then swelling,

Valley shown, cleavage deep then swelling, held with fabric stretch. The might of such a pleasant sight, made my mad mind, want to write. Pleasure seeing, what a thought, the given treasure, hidden naught. Stimulant raving, ever rare, oh, I shouldn’t stare....

Compelling and Swelling
Compelling and Swelling

When you have something to do which is compelling
Will it always seem like your head is swelling
Like poem wanting to come out and be written down
Which sometime in life may become world renown.

To write poems as hard as I can will always try
But...

Premium Member The Ever-Swelling Tide
Were I to ignore the ever-swelling tide
Lay my head upon the pillow unheeding,
Allowing fate alone to be my trusted guide

I would lay life’s better choices then aside 
Betraying the inner voices ever pleading,
Were I to ignore the ever-swelling tide. 

Seems folly to live a life...

The Swelling River
The sound of water gushes down the big dirty river
beating on the backs of stubborn rocks whose root
is buried beneath the pregnant ground
penetrating the deep and listening to its musical sound
Water  flows intensely down the cascade searching
for a pathway to break through my inflated...

Swelling With Pride
This is a breezy and starry night,
with no strange sounds to induce its mystery;
lingering with sadness is the loneliest heart
opening the pages of an unfinished diary...
as I sit alone drinking my bitter wine,
but it should be sweet to make me feel fine!

Has anyone seen me...

Premium Member Swelling Symphony
Just pondering on overall life
How to paint apocalyptic pads
Darkening clay ashes
Toneless voices
Endless falsehood
Withered, weakened
Ditched in favor of
gloomy, silent hallways
Refrains shouting her wails
How I'm twisted into a vast web
Feeling the quakes of helpless prey
In rhymed subtlety
fought dream's moods
Swelling elegies
Lingering sighs
Loom twirls on the death spiral
A wind...

Red Swelling
Red swelling

Red swelling, curving waves, barbed for protection, the picking knaves. Sweet detection, granted wealth, scent luring, casting tempered spell. Grasping the knowing, needed want, you the restoring, making the wanting, long will I dwell. Oh, Season last long, thanks for the giving, Rose, I...

Premium Member Swelling Tides
Gaseous ice water floats across the field
White exhale comes out of the mouth or nose
thin roof, two infants crouching to shield
Snow remains in these dreary sacred zones

A wave of emotion that brings chaos
Roaring anger melts away the ice of sorrow
Distraught that melts cool, and again...

Ripple Swelling Cry's
Broken dreams and silent schemes 
ripple swelling crys
silent nights of hidden fright 

wave's now pass you by
detest these broken shadows
these flames of fickering light

april in the mist of time
sorrow hold it's flight 
wake the dormant times of past

arise become your flight
april taste you glory
april seize...
