Yet notes flowed
Swelled
And held....

Broken nails
Split ends
Bruised toes
Swelled head
Damaged heart
Water under the bridge...

A teenager goes to the dance
All swelled up with hopes of a chance
Makes an advance
Gets in her pants
Looks around for a new romance...

Persistence Swelled

he rode the white sheets and splashed

To
reek
of blouse 
sweat. Kindle
inanity like
living room fire, mothers in
coarse grain. Steeped in organic growth. Saturday’s swelled yeast....

Soon the curious swelled to a mob.
as they gathered to gape at the glob.
Someone prods with a stick.
as another screams: " Quick!"
"We must run for our lives! It's the Blob!"...

A nudist whose first name was Billy
Got stung by a bee on his willy
It swelled to a great size
One he couldn’t disguise
So he hid by a meadow lily

My very first kiss sent me flying to the moon
Even remember the date, 'twas the 20th of June
My head exploded
With joy I was loaded
As my lower region swelled up like a ballon...

There was a woman who glared in despair
Despair visited when she was in doubt
It sat on her chair
And swelled in her stare
As swear words from hell fell from her big mouth.

Arabian sea
Encroached the city
With chopped head
And swelled legs.

Clouds fought like black cats
Spirit scented rain raged on.

The world lay
As if in a morgue
Varied dance accrued
Atop it.

View distorted...

a negative aura 
exudes from within 
a standoffish shell 
of arrogance 
floating away 
on a swelled headed 
hot air balloon ride 
into the conceited skies
far and wide to never 
grace the humbled town again...

Finally walking with a cane to steady myself
Self-image delayed my usage but my need has swelled
Unsteadiness is the issue
So to avoid a miscue
Health is more important than image, who gives a hell...

THE ECHOING
( I am back to stay!)


The echoing of muse’s divine call
Swelled the desire of poetry in my heart
That haunted me during my absence
Commanding me at once to be back!

Born out of fear.

Suffering screams that nobody hears, and eyes that are swelled up with tears.

Peering into a world that is very unclear.

Abruptly being steered...

Sheer fear...

Painful spear...

Disappear....

Columbia, Willamette stream
Forth their gentle run,
As salmon glint beneath each beam 
Of a Northwest sun.

The rain-swelled rivers rise and roll
Back where they began,
Like ups and downs of someone’s soul:
Seasons of a man,...

I saw a little light go by
it curled around your face
a wisp of smoke
a spoken word
it colored all the same
this little light
it stung my eye
like an angry honeybee
its poison swelled within my heart
and filled my soul
with glee...

Emotions so swelled up
Like an ocean current;
We dance to the tunes of passion
But when the tides subside ;
Are we still going to hold hands.
Or are we going to curse yesterday
Eat our words and say to each other
I don't want to see you again...

Mean Storm Forming..



Red stormy sky’s forming above the land and to the seas. 
Mountainous terrain is being swelled by clouds of insanity.

Once that storm reaches that warm water beach. 
Those clouds will circulate then the winds will start to peak....

Tell Trekkies This

Did you know my head had swelled
After they did perform a mind meld
While we were on spaceship
On myself trying to get a grip
Tell Trekkies this felt compelled.

Whisk them all to peaks of passion, 
Words and letters, deeds and action, 
Flow them, grow them in the sky
All exhaled we burst and fly
Butter wings and liquid lifting
Swelled balloons for fingertipping
Catching words, pulp and peel
Need to eat them,  just to feel......

When the brain swelled, 
sun was blinking.

Hanging by a slim chance, 
the self-existence, was ready to jump.

You were shoved in path 
of death valley. I set myself on fire.

The earth swallows the traffic.
Tears will not flow from the myriad eyes.

Once I fell in love,
Warmth crept along the lines of my palm
Fingers intertwined on knuckles
The grip so firm and secure
A thing for I had longed.

Once I fell in love,
Myriad of emotions in my heart swelled
Not with the way his lashes curled,
But with 
The hand I held....

As he knelt 
to kiss the ground
tears gathered in my eyes
hands flew to my mouth
and my heart swelled with feeling.

I soared with him
as he straightened
and began to run.

Surely his heart would burst
as he gathered his wife
in a tight embrace and reached
to touch his son....

I was once an arrow
---you've pulled me closer,
into your heart

With your bow waiting
---the right time,
to let go

Out of void,
you just lose your grip
with a heart swelled with pride

I felt being lifted and was left hung
---with a heart hoping not to land,
on your barren land...
