Short Bubble Up Poems

words bubble up stirred
ready to explode to shoot
but fizzle in the throat...

Love gives you a feeling of joy and contentment
Making you bubble up inside
No one can take away this feeling
Overwhelming happiness you cant hide
Permanent smile upon your face
Quality of life shows  like a  blazing fire
Reeking of warm undying love
Sheltering in the depth of your desire

Love is a reason for living....

the first onrush of delight swept them away
for a while into the open sea of fond memories
and vague, tender feelings;

then it gradually slackened into an uneasiness
that descended into a quiet embarrassment,
something mutually unsettling;

feelings about half-remembered guarded secrets 
of a long-forgotten time that bubble up close 
to the surface of here, of now....

I think of you in the fog and the rain,
Overlooking the sea, heart full of disdain.
The words bubble up in my throat then fall back
“Did you forget to tell me you love me?” I ask.
Eyes full of woe, the tide pulls you into her-
Like I was pulled into you, sweet disaster.
Light years from now when you have travelled all seven of her seas,
I hope you’ll look out and dream gently of me....

As I enter the door and they welcome me
I feel a urgency that I will leave here free
I hear the Word os the preacher and I start to cry
As this feeling I get it begans to bubble up on the inside
I realize it is the Power Of the " Holy Spirit", that is giving me this joy
The "Holy Spirit" is available to every woman ,man, boy and girl
It makes you want to run, shout and sing
The "Holy Spirit" is not like any living thing!!!...

Homes at the edge of a jungle
must be built on stilts
or the dead will bubble up
through the floor when the rains come.

That is why, when the python
eased its way through a wire casement
above my head
as I sat on the toilet.
I was not that surprised.

I knew it would enter the house
dragging with it a belly full of death.

Pulling my pants up, snatching up the cat,
I ran smiling toward the many deaths
yet to come....

Let the seasons ecstasy 
Bubble up like laughter in melody
And burst forth upon the day
Fragrant crowded joys in spray
Blessed with warm lights ease
Amidst voices of the breeze
My mind floats and dances
My eyes in wonder stealing glances
The messenger of light and truth
Strikes with the spell of youth
Singing with the birds of morning
Branches of trees start dawning!

Dead bite
Like a light
Switch hit on
On my throat,
Hit gold
Mine,
For once,
Unlike the
Soft touch
I’m used to,
Pulled through
Then up again
Against the bed-post-
I could never
Hold out,
Say no
To this girl
Even now,
Now that she’s
Bit me hard,
Hard enough to
Draw blood,
My blood
Maybe it won’t
Burn or
Bubble up
Under her
Touch
Maybe
This is exactly the
Dead bite
I could finally
Get behind,
And open up to....

Listen to poem:

nostalgia hovers
in the backroads
of my mind

memories
both harsh
and beautiful
bubble up
to the tune of
integrity

break out
unfettered
in a dance of
effervescence

in both a
soft and bold
array of colors

uniquely
crafted
as a distinct
fingerprint

a soul print
on butterfly wings ~
