Ah! My aqueous humor!
I tear up simply from the thought of your next jest....

Heart-wrenching love songs
Plucking notes on guitar strings –
Tear up and bleed out....

Wet memories falling
      from  intermittent rain,
      dripping reminds soak people,
      shivers tear up......

Tickling is uncontrollable
It gives us so much pleasure
As well as annoyance
Fall down on the living room floor 
At times we tear up and dribble...

Out n’ out predators,
Observant with wide eyes, 
Ogre like, tear up prey.
Oviparous they are.
Ornithologist’s pets.
Ousted as ill omen.

As a vegetarian, you'll be safe from beef cattle
Rather than attack, they'll ask for a game of Scrabble
Charming as that is
Don't trust their antics
They'll moo you till you tear up then chop on your ankles...

We would like to rent a place in the worst winter months
But it would have to be fenced
As we have two-hundred-pound dogs
And one of them would tear up almost everything
So even though we would rent it furnished
It might be empty when we left...

blue water
the beach
hot tan sands
rubbing against my skin
deadly sun rays
summer rain
forcing my eyes to tear up
the gentle tides
now more forceful than before
i awake from this daydream
now a nightmare
i run from there
still running
from nowhere...

Sometimes you have to cry
Somethings in your eye
you tear up water flows down
your eye to your chin
slowly you blink watch it keep
an eye gently dap rub it

Shut thy heart off filth,
mind who enters here.
Cry not of spilt milk,
better days are near,
closer than you think. 

Love will find you,
in purest form.
Hearts heal always,
Tear up no more. 

Live to learn,
Learn to laugh,
Let it go. 

Forget,
his truth. 

Soar....

The Platters had a hit with Jerome Kern's song many years ago.

   My eyes tear up as I recall dancing to it cheek to cheek and slow!

      Now my eyes tear up most every day as smoke gets in my eyes,

         From the smoke of western fires wafting o'er pristine Colorado skies!...

The car door slamming shut
I knew what was about to occur
memories flew into my head
scattered like a scrapbook 
I start to tear up
running fast towards the 
hospital room, she was
already gone.
My face tear stained
as the world around me
stops. Silence is all I hear
as I say goodbye....

the sun casts
beautiful colors 
trees and fields
I stand feet planted
holding Reds leash as he takes the bait
100 plus pounds want that bite and then
GO
runs a blind the first time
oh the glory
of a working dog in motion
truely I tear up behind my sunglasses
as he turns
triumph in his eyes...

he loves me, he loves me not
he adores me, he adores me not
he cherishes me, he cherishes me not
he worships me, he worships me not

The object of her affection thought she was a snot
He had no idea he was part of her diabolical plot.
He watched her tear up the daisy and felt sorry for it.
She had no personality and was kind of a chit....

yAHOO
if it hadn't thrown-up
but you've throw-up
Boo boo
your portions
go unnoticed
yAHOO
all torn up
cause you tear up
all you had left
while under you breathe
Boo Boo
you stopped breathing
while relieving
Oh, Oh
while I'm invited
you got excited,  oh yeah
Oh, oh
ooh, oooh
Boo boo
yAHOO

My eyes tear up
As the frigid wind blows
encrusting my cheeks
and my snotcicle nose

Hands in my pockets
Strait legged jaunt
Skin touching pant leg
Is not what I want

Each morning like night time
The sun must be stuck
I curse at the climate 
As I pre start my truck

My neck hairs all dancing
To chattering molars
I understand winter
But this crap is polar...

You flow out of my lips
Like wine gushing from a fountain

You make me stare at your hips
Like the peak of a huge mountain

You tear up my eyes
With your graceful smile

You do say goodbyes
With only one dial

You turn me on
With a single kiss

You call me Hon
While I call you Miss

You are my she
And I'm your He

You're all I see
Now, this' from me......

I opened a workshop of living
it takes care of the city's sorrows,
makes you tear up traffic tickets, 
miss appointments,
climb a tree and curse authority.
Just yesterday an old lady came.
She suffers from not knowing 
how to be a girl anymore.
She's there, 
smiling and sitting on the floor,
she has a cane in her lap 
and in her rheumatic hands 
a beautiful rag doll....

If I throw her off a building,
Will it make her go away?
If I fix the cracking gilding,
Will it make him want to stay?
If we tear up the canvas,
Will they stop staring at me?
If I destroy all my sketches,
Will the demons leave me be?
...I'll carry the weight of my sorrow,
For fear of breaking my heart again.
Or I'll leave it 'til tomorrow. 
And instead, I'll wait for Jane....

When your only home is your body
a home that took a lifetime to build 
with your own blood your mortar 
bound with your own bruises brick by brick
when you are cut and measured by your parents
but still find a piece of fertile land
on which to build your home and tend a garden
with the sweat and tears of friends
to have the state tear up your deed
and evict you like you never lived

Truthless,
I was searching the self, 
in truth of life.

It leaves many
questions, unanswered.
There was import-

of risqué. The generated
heat would kill
ordinary answers.

You can tear up,
a mountain to release
the particles,

although invisible.
You stretch out your hands
to collect black currants.

For a kick-start
you start shouting.
I am the truth !

im a quickthinking hardheaded son of a gun 
i sleep in the day and worship the night
carpe dium has nothing on carpe noctum
im the reason you cant sleep 
im the one who'll make you weep
im a manic depressant
dont tell me to be happy
im bipolar and overemotional
im unorganised and lazy 
i tear up my cloths 
i take to long getting ready
i smile when im in pain 
and laugh when i want to cry...

wen i think of the gud times i cry, 
wen i think of the bad times i cry even more, 
wen i member seeing ur face i tear up,

but wen i see you gettin betta i have faith, 
wen i hear her laugh i smile, 
but wen i see her sad i put my head down, 
and wen i look at her baq i just want her back, 
i just miss all the gud times we had...

Let us all dine 
And drink some wine 
What if we stopped whining
And start dining
Let us throw all our worries into the sea
And gobble down our cup of tea
Let us get out of this vale
And tear up the veil that covers our face
The parasites that constantly preys
Let us pray and give God the praise
Casting all our troubles on your shoulder
The only one who can make us bolder
His radiant love
Who can compare.
