Premium MemberGnarls Knurl the Grip to Fight

after "Do not go gentle into that good night", by Dylan Thomas

Age can not scour away the furrowed gnarls time obeyed,
Nor mask the snarls, gouged as trenches on brows.
Grace knurls the grip that time has long betrayed,
To swage wrath and fury to a form that age endows.

Grace reveres the knurled design that time has hewn,
Not

In the Grip of Grief

Happy happy never more 
Pain and suffering stalk your door
Let them in and now they’ll stay 
ruining each and every day 
Will they leave and go away 
So mind and body again can play 
Hopes and dreams smashed on the floor
Life is sad forever more

JUST ME

Like the ocean s the shore 
endlessly, violently,
Until I'm nothing but salt on your skin.
Dripping sweet with memories...
Freaky hard do  me.

On the edge of the kitchen counter,
Knock over the wine glass I never finished.
Pull my legs apart as I claw at your shirt,
Bite down on my shoulder to muffle the growl,
And leave me dripping

Dear heart, with all due respect, stop your skipped beats and get a grip, please!
Pull yourself together, it’s just a girl, even if she is cute, smart, and kind.
Yes, her eyes are crystallized love, adorned with sparkling stardust,
Her voice, a divine concert of nature, a song that gently embraces the soul.
Her smile, one of the

The Shadow's Grip

The angels have fallen, their wings stained with ash,
The demons now rule, their laughter echoing in the void.
The sky, once a canvas of hope, now bleeds a somber gray.
A mask hides the truth, whispering "I'm okay," a hollow lie.
No one sees the darkness that engulfs me,
For my thoughts, like traitors, betray me.

Emptiness hollows me out,

THE GRIP

He had a very tight grip
When he kissed her luscious lips
It stirred him up bad
He forgot his name was Chad
Didn't realized that he'd just stripped

Fading grip

Held within my dreams 
I can see you dieing
Deep within my veins 
I can feel you crying
What has attacked you 
Left you bleeding
What has Hurt you 
Left you screaming
Why are you in so much pain
What has ripped out 
Your soul and 
Left you in shame
What tries so hard
To steal from you
Your name
Convince you to stop

Premium MemberPassions Grip

Misty moonlighting red Queen 
Biting into apple of the eyes
Drinking from the well of light.

A thousand whispers silently into one dream 
eclipsing lunar pearl glowing faraway bright 
In satin darkness within velvet touches teardrops 

Blessings forever born in a distant horizon ivory white speaks
Angel of mercy joined together our reflections spin 
Out of this world

OH MY GRIP

OH MY GRIP

I want the firebrand
To my taste 
I want the dagger
To my taste
I want the bullet
To my taste
I thirst for blood
To my taste

I want war at the front of peace 
I want hate at the front of love
I want them to note I'm strong
I want the earth at my grip to her knee

Well up

Premium MemberRage's Iron Grip

Among the boulders that gaze on with proud regard
When times are rigorous, having patience is hard

Water gently brushes the riverbanks over time
Blue river flowing slowly, crickets chirping in rhyme

The river's peace is disrupted, though, by the rain
Our babies are sobbing louder, battering our brains

As it evolves, it surpasses every hurdle in its path
Of ravenous sadness
