Short Clinched Poems

she worshipped money
clinched it 'til the day she died;
then creditors came...

The claws of Satan
Clinched their honorable souls--
Demons laughed and clapped...

my pen utter words
my heart hankers to say, clinched 
thoughts inflict anguish
unless I whisper them through 
my pen, then I smile again…...

Let this be a reminder of 
How you pounded your incestuous breath
On my lips
Hands clinched to my hips
As you force fed me 
Your spoiled milk
Scared from the threats you made
I played possum
As you played your dirty tricks on me
I forgive you
But Karma is a *****!...

I was your balloon,
You had me so high.
My head overflated, filled to max capacity.
You couldn't have possibly known just how you made me feel.
My neck attached to a string clinched tight in the center of your hand.
Then all of sudden.
Pop.
You couldn't possibly have known how bad that hurt...

Reflecting on life
in the darkness of night,
eyes drift about
inquiring clarity’s insight

Darkened corners
hold yesterday’s dreams
pressed smoothly
against tomorrows seams

Stifled intake
of sobs quickly clinched
Smothered pillow
holds tears unquenched

Morning light
through slotted shade
Spears empty corners
an unwelcomed trade...

like the wetted bows
that do not break
bending deeply before the weight of white

give when giving is already impossible to bear

to allow in ones very cells....truest blind trust 

the exquisiteness 
               of the ultimate letting
opening one's clinched hand

the butterfly does fly away...but takes you with it...

Blind to the danger before me
Standing with the precipice beneath me
Once a captain lost at sea
Now a babe, I cannot see
The Sirens try to seduce me
The Centaur tries to conquer me
To no avail
I stand before the finish line
With clinched fists in hand
The wind is strong
The air is thick
To write all wrongs
Feels impossible
Like ones folly
Like a devils trick....

Sure, we all are in Gods kingdom,
Not in Satan's perverse Dukedom,
And should well clear steer of whoredom,
A big challenge to clinched stardom
Often igniting sex freedom;
Never Saint Stephen's Martyrdom...

Still for microbes a sold condom
Birth control measures not seldom
Infected spouse for The Syndrome
Better get out of a doldrum
To shops go for Latex condom....

This morning, 
I woke,
eyes crescent mooned.

In the kitchen,
I found a platoon,
army crawling between 
pepperoni and assorted 
veggies, gathering intel
for the commanding officer.

My tweezers clinched 
between thorax and abdomen, 
strapped him down by the neck.
It took three milliliters 
from the syringe to
drown his insides.

His dog tags

You reached for a cloud
on a sunny day
with no rain on the way

with clinched fists and fear 
you feel no pain

Hearts sing in silence
grief without sound
and tearless memories
fill the empty wells
of our souls

Prayers rise up
and fall to an empty God
abandoned by the living 
and reached for by the dead.

For my dear friend who took her own life this week, one year ago....

All your doubts christened
     By a blade pulled from a sheath
     Held by dirty fingers
     Clinched beneath your teeth

    Stripped your hallowed confidence
    Struck and splintered whole
    Dropped and splashed, broken pieces
    Crashed upon the floor.

    All the pain and loneliness
    Replacing all your fun
    All these wounds and bloody scars
    Won't be healed by one
    Revolution around the sun....

eyes wide without
trying to blink wanting
to see every thing paraded
before her always asking what

her nose in perfect symmetry
equally distributing everything
to make the whole complete and
through this she doesn't even snore

leaving her lips finding her jaw
not clinched at all actually slightly
opening to my fingers as if to suck
feeling her face in the dark wondering

do my
fingers
lie 
to me...

Even though the skies are blue, my whole world has turned grey, I have the voice but I can’t find the words to say, seeing you struggle has left me in a panic & fear, I try to hold it in but my face is drowned by tears, your little hands clinched as your pain is growing, I wish I had the answers & it kills me that I’m not knowing, you’re strong & you are pulling through, just remember daddy’s here & that I love you....

I felt the adrenaline in my veins.
I've seen the rage in my eyes.
I've smelled the fear in your lies.
You stood like a coward
defeated by the demons you empowered.
You may have chose our path,
but I embodied my wrath
with clinched fists and a firm voice
"I hope you rot in hell" was my choice
I smiled with dignity,
set fire to the mystery,
as I drink from my glass of victory.
Redemption with Authenticity....

I hide myself from the world in hopes the no one will see the despair and hate within me,
I'm tired of always feeling so dread and sometimes I do wish I were dead.
This life I live is no life at all its more of a night-mare that never ends it goes on and on until my heart gives way. 
with my eyes closed shut and my fist clinched tight I scream out for hope or something that might stop my tears from falling like rain....

relish, oh relish
scream over your scream
feel ever more deeply
become the great dream
breath ever more deeply
climb ever more steeply
start drowsing- so sleepy
is nothing as seems?
feel, oh feel 
such is grasping and tearing
clawing and gnawing
so harsh and apalling
fighting and brawling
teeth clinched tight and snarling
touching and running
pushing and stunning
crawling with cunning
all in fun we agree...

Quietly I gaze towards my love,
though she lays beside me,
I'm trapped in this wonder and 
know.....

Her eyelashes,
Her skin,
Her lips,
Her hair,
Her mouth,

to not have mornings view 
would be death to thy heart.
Not for a minute,
 nor for second shall I take for 
granted thoughts of life again.

Sunlight moves across and lays 
upon a second  soul, 
Showing arms clinched 
together,
Our heart is still,
as one....

Crimson rose you bloom and grow
Fragrant and free you open toward light
Though your life lingers so brief
Your beauty reaches me bright 
Tempted I am to reach over and pinch 
Your thorns surprise me by an inch
and clinched my jaw shut 
For you pierced my finger 
For but a moment the pain will linger 
Trickle crimson upon my thumb
wrapped it tight as a drum 
I walk away and admire from far
Your thorns remind me who you are...

Biden blew it at heavy cost,
Trump quite clinched it not despite boast,
In the fight of two bulls
Voters vie to play fools,
Who alone heavily have lost.

Poet’s note: The Presidential Debate in USA on 27 June: the mumbling, incoherent Biden and bombastic, boastful Trump, both from geriatric wards. Whoso might win in the November election, America has already lost.

The magnificent beauty
Unique in its appearance 
Used since the days of Rome
Marked in the passage of winter solstices   
Treasured and cherished 
Lover of water, pure and elegant
Fragrant and bliss 
With a tear drop center 
Once gracing the royal gardens of Paris
Cut and resting in glass, posing on tables 
Clinched together in the arms of a bride 
With lace and white ribbons a showstopper 
One can’t deny 
In a rainbow of colors made for the eye...

As it was
When it is finally done
For this soul and 
All the Hectic Hither
When my hands are clinched upon hate
And my restless mind
Stumbles to the cold
With a faultless mischief
Bringing barriers 
Floating in the wind
Flying without thought
Tasting the sweet, deep, cold thunders 
I laugh even when i cry 
I cry even when I laugh
I love even when I hate
My tears no longer moves you
My sad but yet happy face deceive you
As it was
And always will be
The sentiments of one's heart
To Desire........
