Premium Member What to do on May 5th

Since Mexico cast off the French
Make sure a Corona to clench
And forgo the Merlot
On Cinco de Mayo
But buy beer which can a thirst quench
Form: Limerick

Boom!

Teeth ache from the clench.
Tension.
Restraint.
Busting forth and out, like the splitting of an atom.
No mercy to those around.
Caught in the blast.
BOOM!

cold sweat forms salty
curled knuckles clench crisp sheets
no warm accompaniment

yet the Almighty speaks
augury tossed bones
angelic choirs soulfull speak

Lost Proposal

Against my heart you clench the knife,
Remember the passion we shared, once rife.
You became the sole cause of my strife,
And to think I yearned to be your wife.

Anticipatory

the anticipatory

Gut wrench
sweat stench
teeth clench
mind race
feet pace 
white face
hands shake
wide awake
cant take!...

....my mistake its not so bad.

Premium Member Last Climb

Bone chilled, numb fingers
fight to clench the precipice
in frigid, thin air
against the restless mountains
he releases his burdens.

Pride's Descent

He forged a throne from heaven's blaze,
Then gripped the flame—it slipped through praise.
Who trusts his head must understand:
To clench is to be crushed by your own hand.
Form: Grook

Quiet Triumph

In broken silence,
a single breath rises--
flickers of hope through the cracks,
light spills where shadows clench
vigor birthed from the stillness,
victory whispered softly.

Elusive Echo

The stream, a phantom in my hand,
I clench; the liquid's gone, unmanned.
To hold what shifts beyond recall,
Is chasing silence through a wall.

Premium Member When I Think

When I think 
there must be silence
a ticking clock is my enemy
a tv set rushes me to the brink
music makes my teeth clench
some claim to think by music
I do not believe them

Premium Member Brace for impact

heart braces for impact of bliss pheromones 
rapture spasms cause eyes to clench shut
we celebrate the offered joy vibration
each hue new beauteously renews
as we meld with the sensation
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Vibrant aloneness

eyes clench shut 
bliss spasms manifest
all we do is receive
God does the rest

ours is is a lonely path
because although we share
in truth no one understands
words laying our soul bare

Premium Member The Clench of Fall

cauldroned lakes of steam
wafting up in fevered plumes
labored breath as life exhales
venomed arctic gales
plunder trees on sun starved days
brittle claws of tumbled leaves

Night Moves

UNSUPPORTED CODE NIGHT MOVES wrapped in a shroud pread-eagled man lies… dreamless in the unmade grave of his bed beams glare on his mooning face as his hands clench on the nights long throat ©Kim van Breda—August 2015

Inked In Red Upon My Blue

Your hands extended from you wrists.....the clench of them around my arms

in welted need... never anger

has a scent that will never fade 
leaves a beauty mark far more indelible than any tattoo
inked in red upon my blue 

pulse points

Premium Member the spell of a pregnant pause

time passes, hands clasped,
afraid of what might happen,
clench tight on what's been.

eyes stare unblinking,
lest the sheer weight of mere thought,
reveals happenstance.

ears distracted dwell
on mantra seance murmurs
when will never end?

Premium Member Don'T Scold Me

Don't scold me, or else
I 'll close my eyes
Bury my face
Or else
Turn my back
Bang the door
Or else
Kick my legs
Clench my fists
Challenge back
Or else
Glare my eyes
Pout my mouth
Show a sour face
Or else
One, two, three
Flee for life

Premium Member They Call Her Wind Mariah

She enters the room with a horrible stench
             A terrible curse for so lovely a wench
They call her wind Mariah
          It reeks of sweet papaya 
Here’s hoping she finally learns how to clench!

Premium Member Zen Mode

bliss currents peak 
eyes clench shut

we are definitely
out of the book

no scripture validates
the pulsations imbibed

the external recedes
we dwell in silence 

alone with this secret
hidden in plain sight

within

Guttural

Growl
Grasp at life
Flushed out in full flight
Wind's wild moaning warmth
Frisks it, whisked
Up
From fist clench
Fingers curled tense- tight
Unfurl hurts
Gasps
Of air rasped
Hoarse sounds break from husk
Gutted heart
Thumps
