Watching you exhale
My eyes welling up
Forever missed

Tears
welling,
on the brink,
heart ready to
break-
My dear John....
sentences
of blood blotted
ink....

In the thick of a wicked white world,


the blameless negress passes through:


deepest sorrow welling up


in dusky lovely eyes....

Flowing from the heart
mindless of the brain
bubbling up with joy
as water from a spring

Feelings, strong and telling
when push comes to shove
this thing within, welling
performs as puppy love...

aisle, altar, marching bride,
as father gives to me her hand,
it's odd, those tear-glints in his eyes;

aisle, altar, waiting groom,
while giving him my daughter's hand,
my welling tears are no surprise....

Sift harder! Verify!
a pen cautiously pressed to the page
No spirit! You must live!
Crazy welling up from under!
Don’t sit lazy stupid drooling drooping dreaming!
The truth even now is within you! Look!
Before it is lost!...

i caught myself
starting to cry
a tear was 
welling

up

but the
well is done
dry so chocked
up i coughed some

dust

and brushed off
my coat don't
need to
take

on

any
more
of a load
already heart's

heavy...

Navy blue tears
expelling...
Navy blue tears
welling...
Navy blue tears
falling...
A higher power
calling!

Navy blue tears
caressing lips...
Navy blue tears
as heart rips...
Navy blue tears...
no longer;
Navy blue tears...
have made I stronger....

Lost within the confines
Of my own self,
In disguise,
Knowing all can peer right through,
My welling eyes-
Don’t believe in tomorrow,
Even yesterday is grim,
I’ve hidden everything,
That I really feel;
Quite sure at this point,
That I have made a deal with Satan himself....

Listen to poem:

Flaws and foibles, dents and blots, 
all viewed as quirky, cute and nice,  
are mere trifles, that makes us lovable.

How quickly the tide can change,
when sensibilities, foil those foibles
into scruples, qualms, faults and vice,
up-welling into wellsprings 
of misery and strife....

Anger
On the surface, eyes closed, hands shaking
Paralyzing, soaking through my pores
Deep inside, welling within me
A rising mushroom cloud of bubbling acid
I feel it coming, but by then it’s to late
A self justified burst of atomic energy
Sweet release, hits like a runaway train
Everyone around me recoiling in fear...

Hello you
This is me
I feel so very far away;
I miss you
In every way
More than I can ever say;
As I lay
Here all alone
I count the passing of each day;
To be close
Hold you tight
In your arms so gently sway;
Feel your breath
Your warm touch
For this moment I so pray;
Good night my love
Thoughts of us
Keep my welling tears at bay....

I sometimes sit and wonder
If it was a dream in all its splendour
And I think back without dwelling
Do my eyes blink and tears are welling

For looking back for the good is worth a smile
And I want to gloss over my grey file
Don’t worry for it’s hard to remember
The pressure and reasons now are obscured in its render.

Finding myself again 
My mind is awash in uncertainty.
I feel terror welling up in my heart.
I do, however, see that I must escape.
I was so relieved to re-discover myself.
I'm trying to have the guts to be who I am.
In order to muster the courage to be strong,
I want to be the person I was supposed to be.
Certainly,  I have answered the call....

I wish you wouldn't leave I wish that you would stay,
I am so in love with you I just don't know what to say,
I didn't want to get in the way of your happiness,
I couldn't bring myself to tell you right before you left,
I watched you walk out the door as you said your last goodbye,
I turned my head so you wouldn't see the tears welling up in my eyes,...

Dreams do not pursue me anymore
They stopped visiting the day I called
Them worthless
They melted away
In shock
With hurt welling up
In their eyes
They never again
And I refuse to remember
Even those that I held dear
Dreams do not pursue me anymore
As I do not pursue them
They made it clear
They were to be seen and not touched
And what good is that to me?...

It was the innocent spring of life, of which, never shared
Spent summer youth in blanket gaze or in mystic stare
Now the autumn winds, whisper of twice cried tears
Of two stories told, each welling deep, the worst of harbored fear
Maybe forever, two winters of discontent
But still yet, a band plays on
Purveyed are souls
Seasons will pass, never meant...

You Come to Me in Small
You come to me in small
Your largeness waiting
in the quiet
Yet unseen

Grandeur

You can be found
in shopping malls
banquet halls
satellite TV
1000’s and 1000’s cheering

Maybe I get lost in crowds

You come to me in still
Giving me grace
to fill with you
Welling up – willing in

You come

I wonder where come the rumbles
  that lie deep inside.

Ever hidden until inspiration strikes
  at the writer's soul.

Then, welling up from darkness
  and exposed to light.

Joined meaning and form like lovers
  on their first night.

Is this the blood coursing through
  only heard when cut?

The dilema that thunders in poets...
  his gift of words....

The Tui opens his throat and sings
A beautiful sound that summer brings
Welling up from deep within his chest
Bursting forth his joy expressed
He begins at dawn with throaty trill
Greets the morn in unrestrained thrill 
Singing all day with nary a care 
Right until darkness in the still night air 
The personification of freedom is he... 
A lover of life living wild and free...

Under the moonlit sky
The ripe rose stands majestically
deep down she understands 
that time is upon her once again 
As the folklore goes
with the dark moon 
she sheds her deep red petals
one by one they all fall
left bare she stoops
hiding the welling tears 
of losing her precious children
once again
holding onto hope
of having them back soon
When the full moon reappears...

There it stood a concrete box
Where once there was a dwelling
Sadness aches in her heart
As tears begin welling

Once a lively family home
Amongst a field of sunflowers
Vibrant yellow all around
Where siblings played for hours

Cherished memories is all she has now
Of her happy childhood home
As her tears flowed down her cheeks
She turns ,walks away from this place unknown...

Rock and Roll

Feed me things
That keep me awake
I feel alive
What a perfect date
False friends
Within my circle
False visions
I can't escape
Line after line
Star amongst the sky
Strung out, supernova
Reaching for that first glorious high
Tears welling up
Filling my guitar moon
No more strings to pick
No music to brew
I was born to rock, but now I think it's time to roll...

I entrusted my heart to someone unworthy,
Now I'm lost in a sea of hurt.

The pain I never invited overwhelms me,
Drowning out life's other blessings.

I sought answers, questioning my own judgment,
But tears fell like relentless rain.

They've stopped welling up in my eyes,
Now they flow through every word I write.
