Short Come Up To Poems

Often Piglet and Winnie the Pooh
head out to the zoo
a slight detour and they come up to a beehive
for sweet honey it sure is worth a dip and a dive

Save me, O God!
For the waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in deep mire, 
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
I am weary with my crying;
My throat is dry;
My eyes fail as I wait for my God....

FOR AMY  (triple Haiku)

in that secret place
to dream of those times just pass’d
sweet music and tears

gone not    but lingers
in the veins    on the fingers
listen    out of time

sounds come up to now
ghostly harmonies renew
constantly renew...

You take away me from the light
into the dusk of faceless streets.
We see faint traces of the bright,
road lamps are all of a sudden lit.

You fell in company with me
so as to come up to the point.
We bypass dirty roadside sleet
and soon walk out of the crossroad....

Run out of words to say to each other
Run out of  time, that can't be rewind
Run out of  reasons to keep trying
We both knowit the right thing to do 
Dont come up to me 
even if i cross your mind
dont ant to see your beautiful smile
dont want want to hear your voice...

some things come up to soon for people to know.
but some things come right on time. 
many come when u lest expect.
but others u know.
that y u should always be prepaired for the unexpected things to come.
i know this makes no sense but it will eventaly.
so make life as fun as u can.
cause life is to short to let go to waste.......

turtles come up to my yard all the time
not sure why
or even if it is hundreds of turtles
or the same turtle hundreds of times

I have no lake or lagoon
I live in a meadow surrounded by woods
we are bordered on the south by a creek
a marsh lies to our east

are they traveling to
or traveling from?
I will never know
even if I reincarnate as a turtle...

When the words come up to end
Music enters for a while 
And reflects what has been said
In its special kind of style
Through reflections I can see
Pictures that I could forget
If not music, with the sea
And the sand that’s always wet
Waves come up, and down they go
Foam licks the ochre line
Empty shells are rolling slow
This one’s yours, and that one’s mine..

Todays the day I seen that beautiful face,
The face that i spend my days in haze.
Pondering in thought of what we could be,
Then sitting around letting time slip from 'we'.
Approaching you isn't so bad,
But asking you on a date is a tad.
So here i sit awaiting the day,
I come up to you and say, 
'hey, wanna go for a walk on this beautiful day?'

3:46 in the mornin
Tossin and turnin
Cant sleep
Bad things runnin through my head
Everything may as well be turnin red
My life is runnin down deep

No more excuses
My life is just getting bruises
I need to lay my life down
And come up to Christ
Man, i need to get rid of my heist
Before in to hell I drown

Father, I know you wont slam
But you'll take me as I am
Right now
You always send love
Just like a white dove
But how?...

I really thought I could trust you...
Then why did you come up to him and say 
“Did you see the note?”
Now everyone is talking about me...
and that cliff seems closer that before...

It’s almost like one more step leads to my freedom...
My eternal life up in Heaven...
But no, it leads to crying, dying,
falling, and disappointment once more...

I’ve been caught once...but no more...
I give up on my life...

I give up......

I tried to come up to God,
 but I wasn't able,
 so I fell like a rock, a brick
-like the Tower of Babel,
 but no one can come to me 
unless the Father who sent me 
draws them to me. 
I'm on the last day. I will raise them up
 and on the previous back day, I will raise them up
the previous day I will raise them up
 only my God can raise you

D-eliver the goods, 
A-nd do what is required; 
S-imply obey and never complain, 
Y-ou'll gain what you've desired. 

J-ust deliver the goods, 
A-nd come up to the expectation; 
N-ever delay nor linger, 
E-ndure till the day of salvation. 

B-egin to deliver the goods, 
U-ntil you touch the sky; 
R-emain firm and faithful, 
E-arly thirty-first of July. 
R-each your greatest goal, 
O-r be lost into the woods; 
S-tay strong and brave, deliver the goods....

This may not sound quite right
But I find I've made up my mind
After all of this time
To say goodbye to goodbye

Goodbye only makes me sad
When losing the friends that I have
When it's their turn to come up to bat
When they have no time left

Goodbye is too cruel a word
Goodbye is best if it's left unheard
Being that there is no cure
When goodbye occurs 

And that is exactly why
After all of this time I find
I've made up my mind
To say goodbye to goodbye...

Below the horizontal lines;
At the dawn of grounds fine;
Below me I see… the waves of the branches of the tree;
Moving wavering;
While above ground yet still and…
I see below my feet the bubbling, rippering, spiraling, zippering, running towards me…
Motions got me sickness yet;
I ain’t movin I’m set;
I’m standing still as the waters come up to my knees;
Engulfing me as I’m mesmerized by the moving tree;
