Best Grind Poems

I find you alone
in your favorite room of sorrow and suspense,
the woman I cherish more than victory or divine sense,
long untouched, you stare into a sonnet of romantic sadness,
supple shadows dress you in stubborn, gothic passion, a quiet finesse,
they know that I am the speed...

A chill wind stung my cheeks
The sky was sullen gray,
I pulled my collar to my chin
And made my weary way.

Nothing too exciting then,
Just the daily grind.
Eight long hours of tedium
To stultify the mind.

Push a button, pack a box
There's targets to be hit,
Team leaders, motivators,
It's all...

Organ grinder
Meat grinder
Bump-and-grind
   The workday grind

Get up, get out of bed
Drag a comb across my head
Yeah, Yeah, Paul: You knew that was coming --
   Go to work 
   Pour the coffee
   Water the plants

Cradle my body, Deeply into 
you, tear me, limb-frm-limb, 
Can't deny your pulsing vibes, 
380* spins my prime, moving 
mountains, amongst, early 
dawns, sunlight quake, where 
we lost all self-control, 
dangerously, Keith Sweats, 
song, fornicating, our love....To 
another round of sweet 
Deveined entwined lyrics,under 
bump...

summer cruise
we park in the side road
and backseat grind...

She's looking for the answers that noone seems to find.
As the gears in her head begin to twist and grind.
With all the things she sees how does she still feel blind?

Slowly sliding into the darkness.
Making yourself disappear seems like complete bliss.
What do you do when...

shackled
daily wager
sweat of brow not so sweet
muscle and sinews strain, work out
to earn dough for bread, and to work out, too
cyclic diurnal grind of life
cliched, i know, but true
god's creation
enchained...

Just like the pleasant zephyr
blowing cool and calm
turns and churns into a storm,
boisterous gale bomb,

Longsuffering mind
can suffer wrong for that long,
then life’s an irked grind.

These chains hold me
To a truth that sets me free
These prison bars keep me safe
Until I am ready to be me
This work camp keeps me humble
So I can live with pride
These many limitations release me
From the oppression that lives inside

So if you have no choice
But...

I’ve been working and writing all day.
I keep the creativity flowing always.
Sometimes I still hit that bump,
And it’s tough to overcome.
No matter what comes my way,
I will overcome it anyway.

No matter my state of mind,
I will never forsake the grind.
Give it my all every time,
It’s...

I grind my teeth both day and night
I grind them all the time
Except when I’m eating or talking, of course
No relief of it can I find

I got a mouthpiece I wear around
The kind you boil and bite
But it makes me look so deformed
So I wear...

My own rags to famous rear view status
Counting coins, chasing chaos, catching corners
No stage but life's notorious performers
Missed my bus, recapping my future past
Bone broke dreams, now rocking a killer cast
Actin' as a star but as an extra I thrust
My word in the hat, mainstream...

When you work hard, I know that you’ll find,
That so long as you really don’t mind,
Holding your feet to the grind, 
Your efforts will reflect back to you.

A few years ago, I needed to lose weight,
Because my health really wasn’t great,
And when I looked in...

The Mushroom Party
Placed an embargo
On Chinese goods
To Mar-a-Largo

It seems that some urns
Were not stuffed with money
Did Kim Jong Un
Pull something funny?

The Donald, of course,
Was not not amused
A star of TV
Should not be abused!

So Rocket Man
Fired off a tweet
"Meat me for lunch"
Which Donald thought, "Sweet"

They both...
