Clenched in anger; hard to grasp
A heartbeat sped up in anticipation...

through clenched teeth, 
is worse than silence.

a fist of clenched snow
gradually melts on icy boughs
welcoming new spring

Salt Rings and Seaweed
Tangled seaweed shore
sharp in salt and sweet decay
Crab claws still clenched shut
in defense of losing prey
Sun, to bleach, is on it's way......

Eyes clenched in delight
Ecstatic shudder in spine
Climax without end
Feel the throb of bliss within
Ceaseless purring ignition

eyes clenched tight
bliss spasms peak
stillness speaks

world within
beauteous
rapturous

words we speak
mere symbols

Premium Member The Cost of Flying
“So this is what it feels like to fly . . .” 
was the last thought
that went through the snake’s head 
just before the eagle 
clenched its talons around it....

Premium Member Yellow Roses
The yellow rose thorns
Clenched tightly between the hands 
Prickling the fingers
Causing to fall sanguine drops
As deluding dream crumbles

Picture Me
Picture me
Standing with my arms
Folded
Locked out from the world
Waiting with my teeth
Clenched
Locked out from the world
Yet if you had the key
I would gladly open up...

My Biting Reply
I once knew a poet named Carl
Who found himself in a troubling snarl
A victim of vicious rumors you see
The result of deep rooted envy
Gave him clenched teeth and knuckles all gnarled...

Quenched
Love drenched,
Thirst quenched,
Heart clenched.
Desire sated,
Pain abated,
Feel elated.
Tearful fears,
Yearning sears,
Love endears.

Love On The Riverbed

He pitched a tent on her banks
Her teeth clenched as pegs dug deep
Campfire sparks, heat's erecting 
The winds howling in lost flight

~fists of his always clenched so tight,
                       .                      yet nowhere ready to throw a punch. ~

Letting Go
Life changes,
seeing the lights end
we run faster
past each closing door
ticket in our clenched fist
burning lungs 
screaming silent
prayers
shedding ,
spilling,
dropping,
letting 
go....

Naivete
A fistfull of sand
clenched
      tightly
too tightly
      to her breast.
Trickle grains sift
through slender fingers
~  beautiful hands
       clutching
that which could not
be
     contained....

Wolves
Howling under moonlight 
Clenched jowls and sharpened fangs 
Swarm fated ill-fortune,
Effortlessly gliding
In perfected patterns
Adapting with each dash
Until red runs on green grass

A Step
i took that step forward
my eyes closed
and fist clenched
you leaned in
and our lips touched
no fireworks
no butterfly's
no cliches
there was just me and you
and a million feelings i cant put into words...

Ogden Nash begets the Nasher
Humored couplets somewhat brasher

Seems these rhymes are wrenched in nature
Clenched, this nomenclature impure

Odd end Ogden, gnashing nashers,
Hence the wincing grimace assures...

Premium Member Lies Within
Listen to poem:
what lies within
that chin
beneath quivering lips
that belies the lie
within the tongue
tied by bounds
of clenched teeth
holding within
the lies squirming
in a swarm of spit
lying to be cast in
a phlegm amen...

Edge
More afraid and fearless
than I have ever been
precariously perched
upon the cusp of a dream
faith and swollen heart
clenched in either hand
with an eye on the tide
building castles in the sand.
