Belly Swells
Belly swells, life within
Lotus petals drift
On the temple pond,
arranging new constellations
Golden light within,
Speaking to life around,
Dancing in her womb
Night jasmine unfurls
Sweet prophecies in darkness
While she dreams, I wait
Peacocks gather now
In our garden, spreading ferns
Of celestial eyes
Each breath she takes holds
The weight of ancient,
Purifying earth
Time slows to honey
As

The Music Swells
Edna Morris lived in the town of Shadow Fells, in rich green, hilly country,
With doting parents and sister Violet, plucking fruit from their plum tree.
Pretty Edna was twelve years old, but she and Violet played all seasons,
Making skinny scarecrows and fat snowmen, like blizzards of no reason.
Horses were a common sight in the area, like

Swells of Crested Waves
Fading rays of day were giving way to twilight as I stood on the precipice overlooking the ocean. Minutes earlier, I was in the arms of the only man I'd ever loved... Sean. We'd said farewell beneath windswept branches of the tree we'd been married under a month earlier. Now, I watched him waiting on

Words Vanish
*** Words Vanish ***
Words vanish!
Disperse — as prayer begun
Moves to clear the mind
And bare the heart,
Swelling the soul to meet Thee
With love…
Sending on high gratitude’s praises,
Pulsing on into silence —
Worshipping in awe of Thee!
By Thy grace
Blessing along Faith’s way
With heavens’ lights leading
Searching

Swells of Consciousness
Between the ground and the sky
a glittery orb floating in the sea of gems
It is a dream of gliding on an azure floor
Upper and lower snow clouds
Floating with me, dark and sluggish
The twilight faded evenly.
Illuminating the wintry landscape
In the bleak pines, brilliant shards shine
The wood mouse looks for red blossoms
Sparkling spires in spotless snow
frowning from

I Must
There's a place where you're loved
do you know it?
It's been there
since a smile was born
A place all yours.
You may've felt it
though torn..
for a long time
I felt it too.
Find it again, I beg
you must, for them..
for you.
You're not meant to be hollow,
nor a shell
but filled in spirit..
where love
dwells.
I believe in you,
yet

Stony Swells
waves of ash
in agonizing gaps
at the water's edge
They scream wildly
like an anxious sea sprite,
foaming out the,
mysterious misery of mind
On that terrible twilight
the sun suffused irrated streaks
with scorching sympathy
to lift up a dejected sea
I observed
seas of silken saffron swelled in
spunky surges!

No Sea Shells Can Cover Her 'swells'
A mermaid sure caused a commotion
by skinny dipping in the ocean
her body is bare
which makes seamen stare
and dreaming to rub in sun lotion
An angler nets her; it’s a shocker
she struggles, he grabs her left knocker
This makes her irate
and it seals his fate -
he’s consigned to Davy Jones locker!
Both limericks 9,9,5,5,9 - checked with how

Breathing, Soft Heaving Bosom Swells
Breathing, Soft Heaving Bosom Swells
Swaying rhythmic her hips
Tantalizing her lips
Blue casting sapphire eyes
Dancing under night skies
Such heavenly sweet trips
Docking side by side ships.
Breathing, soft heaving bosom swells
O' pleasures, past glorious bells
And Fated bounty was given
For then Love was in the liven
First kiss, gold coins in wishing wells
Sexual thoughts one never tells.
Swaying rhythmic her hips
Tantalizing her

Swells
on the outside, all looks fine
no one sees the things I hide
walled off deep within my heart
is a darkness set apart
I know all that I have done
buried baggage that would stun
would you think the same of me?
undertow sweeps inside my sea
moon predicts the sudden swells
washing sands with seaweed smell
once again, my beach is smooth
not at

Dark Swells of Lies
Trapped in the darkness with swells of lies
Swirling from the mouths of others
Those trying to rule things in my life
Years of speaking, grasping for the truth
The light to shine my way on this path
Through the full thickness of time
With unanswered questions lingering
Answers I deserve, answers I must find
Fighting to integrate memories from the past
To make

Oysters Ocean Bed Swells
Oysters Ocean Bed Swells
there
were once
two oysters
on ocean's bed
lying on white sheets of sand making love
two
became
many more
impressions borne
on women wearing their shiny black pearls
on
island
sunny days
ocean bed breeze
for two oyster's affection pays forward

Come To Me Love, So That Tender Heart Swells
Come To Me Love, So That Tender Heart Swells
Gone, our days dancing in the splashing rain
Awaiting the great mists of transcending time
My love, you taught me to ride a hurricane
Within the mind, a storm blasts out flashes
Consider the moment you wake this coming morn
Walking streets paved with nameless stones
Grains of sand, pretending to be boulders
Cool

How It Swells When Waters Rush In
insurmountable sorrows
unaccountable to the heart mad blank check reign of terror
just waiting now for the quiet to claim
just waiting for the darkness without shame
its possible that i may have gone too far
in all i wanted was just a hand to hold
lips to kiss oh so gentle
tell me i would have known
tell me i would have

Swells That Compel
SWELLS THAT COMPEL
the fall moon's lull shows
mystique silence across skies
branches shadow dance
rice seedling patch strewn
upon well-plough watered fields--
globular tummies
from my bikini
to quilted silk evening wraps --
chrysanthemum blooms
rainbow processions
passing through cities thru-fare --
church bells count the mass
