Best Grimace Poems

evil-eyed Jack o’ lantern

Grimace

Chasing shadows 
In summer meadows
Lingering by the wayside
Watching memories of you die

Fighting worry
Fending off doubt 
Love becomes blurry
Feelings turned inside out

You wrote me love letters 
Full of empty promises
When my heart thinks of you
It grimaces 

I cried over you a hundred years
Or at least it seems

My world ended 
When you said goodbye

A piece of me died
When you lied
And said you still loved me 

Inquiring minds want to know
Why you stole the heart
Of a never ending love?

Mis Chakras No Tus Chakras

Mis Chakras No Tus Chakras

It’s too early in the morning to have my patience challenged.
Woosah _ kumbaya _ got to get my chakras in balance.
Hold back my tongue _ use small words _ set breath at steady pace.
Surely what needs saying is clearly written on my face.

Muscles in my jaw refusing to smile.
Being a lying phony’s never been my style.
Best effort to grin becomes a scary grimace.
Nothing else to do but quickly leave the premise.

After botching up the routine plans of my day.
“Have a Good One” is all that BLEEP had to say.
I bet that negative Nancy’s spine is perfectly in line.
He’s too comfortably pleased with giving me a hard time.

As I looked through my rearview, I had to remind myself.
Don’t overlook the sole purpose of that being called the “Elf”.

[In this writing elves.... Image result for the history from elfmythology.net
The word elf is found throughout the Germanic languages and seems originally to have meant 'white being'. ... For example, a number of early modern ballads in the British Isles and Scandinavia, originating in the medieval period, describe elves attempting to seduce or abduct human characters.]... not good.   With that said, one never knows what anyone is lining or aligning themselves up to be/become. Judge the actions, not the idea!


Premium Member Grimace Is Death's Smile

Grimace is Death's Smile

    Last stage of death's calling card; pain.
    Why make it any easier than it must be?
    Atonement in exchange for your agreement
    for time on earth and the pleasures we see.

    Some of us drink deeply from the well
    and suck the marrow from the offered feast.
    Other's are timid and fast for their lives
    hoping sacrifice will quell imagined beast.

Grimace

I face my daily demons from time and time again
I try to be normal and count to ten, ten, ten and then
I cope with hope’s happiness
It’s so dope to be no longer in distress

It was a dismal and dark night last night
There’s a delightful day, sparkling with might
Snowed under by sunshine today
Let me be, detested dismay and disarray

I grimace in the mirror and in pictures
To hide the sorrow
So, I pray for another tomorrow
Opening my eyes everyday to shine
Opening up to the lies that aren’t mine
I’m living a lie
Beneath the truth
I’m living a lie
Beneath the truth

So, today, I decide to grimace
Away my hopelessness...I’m helpless
I’m making so much progress none the less
I’m changing oh so sympathetically
I’m changing oh so rhythmically
I just want to be free
Can’t I unfold my wings and flee?
Why can’t I be happy?

I won’t fake a smile and heave a sigh
I don’t want to die...I will give it a try
To not underestimate you anymore
I hate to be hit to the core by forlorning and being a bore

Pour forth the pain from my eye’s glassiness
Disconnected by the wires in my brain’s mess
Lean on me some more and we will be miles behind the shame
I feel the vibes...I don’t want to take the blame...the blame...

My palms are quivering
I have been simply shivering
I walk away, for you can never see my grimace
Into the abyss and darkness, I roam in hopelessness...I’m a loner more or less...

Grimace, Replace

Many friends that I have are troubled at times
Giving them problems creating their rhymes
I wish there was something that I could do
For them I will pray and send my thoughts, true.

They go on their lives with burdens, weighted
Regretting their days, some even hated
I wish I could reach them, give them my hands
For now, words are arms, reaching ‘cross lands.

I send thoughts to them all that need loving friends
I hope that their miseries soon come to an end
May hearts open wide as a smile on their face
My wish for them all, their grimace, replace.


Holy Grimace

In such agreement
With all that is being said
Standing up in awe

Rocking side to side
With folded arms, shriveled nose
Squinted eyes, spiked shouts

Downward lips poked out
With wrinkled brow and clinched fists
Arms start rotating

Rolling, beating air
Shifting foot to foot ready
To launch in the deep

The speaker speaks on
Overexaggerated
With vi'lent fervor

Still with that grimace
Clapping hands, shaking the head
Nodding with more shouts

Now out the fifth row
A trot turns into a sprint
Til breathless with tears

Arms raised, surrender
Jumping sporadically
In freedom of soul
