Short Gnashing Poems

Swim deep as I sleep
Demon in the oceans deep
Gnashing teeth wet sheep

storm
savage
powerful
fiercely angry
seizing what is hers
gnashing her teeth
rumbling
growling

Molten amber honey drip
'Ris that venom slicks her tongue
Gnashing grin gnaw heaven's grip
Slam damn me with dirges sung...

Awake
bright, colourful
searching, sensing, feeling
knowledge, discovery, ignorance, fate
falling, gnashing, condemning
dark, horrific
Asleep...

with unconsoled cries
weeping and gnashing their teeth ~
their worm never dies

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...

Dangbert was snorting and snarling and gnashing his teeth
He is feverously ferocious, full of anger and grief.
The old dragon watched, from her mountain seat high.
Thrilled to death of her son, who was scaring this guy....

I devour my food
not in dainty bites
Slicing it savagely
with my tiny babyish teeth
guzzle my drink 
a glutton I am
living life on the brink
of enjoyment 
showing off my long teeth roots
and my tiny gnashing power...

I rip at the ground
try to bring you back
to life, gnashing

my teeth, as tears 
roll down my cheeks.
We live among the

dead, I can feel
you here with
me, we look into

your face, there
is nothing left 
to see....

You see the shell, it appears intact
but deep inside the demons  attack
chewing, gnashing, flailing about
no one happy will ever get out.
Stomping on good thoughts, smashing your pride
You have become nothing, have nowhere to hide...

Wind’s a’whipping;
Branches thrashing.
Chairs are flipping;
Teeth are gnashing.

Garbage flying;
Scarves wrapped double.
Those home sighing,
Sweats and stubble.

Wind chill saying
It’s much colder.
Those out paying,
Being bolder....

Eyes hypnotic, body exotic-
Envelop me in your embrace!
Oh, I fear your touches toxic-
They set my Heart to race!
As is my fashion, a hostage of passion,
And bathed in an amorous flood
And now I feel my feelings gnashing-
Like a shark that senses Blood!...

Carnival and playmate in orange
Preening , twirling, whirling swirling,
Flashing, crashing, but never gnashing
Is she a clown or a comic?
Does she know all of her strengths?
Is her fabulous self-confidence catching?
I decide to stand closer, in case it is....

A daylong task
gnashing my teeth
all the while
wishing I were instead
dead

Anxiety 
pouring out sweat
wondering when it will end
when finally it does
just before I give up
almost falling to the grit
that would get in my teeth
if I had

I guess I can rest now.

vibrant 
aphrodisiac 
glowing
in 
the 
sky



larger 
than 
life
promoting
carnivorous 
copulation



where
most
romantic 
couples
find
an
excuse



delusional
lycanthropes
find 
them
too


screams
of
ecstasy
outshined
by
screams
of
violent
gnashing
terror



the
sun
rises
regardless....

tired
tried
but pride
kept me
prying
and trying
again

again
and again
i ask
gnashing
gnawing
knowing
the answer

will be
answered
the same
as last time
and the last
time still
no

capitalizing
bold print
may give me
hints not to
ask again
asking again
to get the same

no...

Why is justice blind?
How can she see my tears or see me gnashing my teeth?
How will she see me falling to my knees?
Shouldn’t she be the one who sees?

She has scales in her hands but she can’t 
See what’s being weighted 
Some burdens are heavy others are light
Uncover your eyes and see the light...

three words not spoken
dance lightly on the tip of tongue
swirling around inside of your mouth
gnashing teeth that won't let them out
pressing hard against pursed lips
exhausted from the fight to be set free
swallowed once more down your throat
washed down with a grain of truth
three words not spoken...

The abscessed wounds of
a betrayed heart fester 
from desertion and deceit.
.
She takes solitude in shadows
gnawing herself red and raw,
rankling in private torment;
gnashing her teeth.

Until pain and grief turn noxious
with a fury justly sworn
to the retributory scourge 
of a woman's woeful scorn....

The tearing and the gnashing
The blood on the leaves
Sinking in of teeth
Take cover under the trees

The dog she roams
The ***** is out to fight
Looking for a victim
Another face to bite

The simple horror of it all
As your fear she feeds upon
Smelling your tears run down
She leaps in to take them all....

For every gnashing flashing jaw
For every child that sees no saw
For every memory that wasn’t made 
For every thought that wasn’t gained
One drop
One single drop of blood
One for every child unnamed
One for every soul left maimed 
There is one drop
One single drop
Of blood into the ground
Mommy left you there to drown...

*comparing my teeth grinding with childhood memories that invoke its description and seek to explain it to some one who doesn't do it*

Dinner table chair 
Across a bare vinyl floor
Muggy summer air
Lazy children.

Static on the TV screen
All of us, caffeine stares
Not yet thirteen
The house smells weird.

*to be finished...

AS there is LOVE  
even within the Tempest
of Our Minds & Hearts
As there is hope
among the hopeless
even Now.  While the gnashing
of painful emotions
eat away the tenderest
feelings ~ there is Love
and there is Hope.
God praise all of Your
Creation even those who
sometimes fall below
divine expectations!

She lurks 
in darkness, 
a hideous mask,
heavy clouds,
churning , insipid,
splintered fragments,
pierce the soul.
Gall to the mouth,
pupils shrink to
evil points.
Flared alae, 
gnashing teeth
tear to pieces that which was whole.
Quagmire seeps in
snatching,
sucking
the total spirit 
leaving remorse  
and .....if only.

Distorted gnashing puppet teeth
Not my face not my face 
My limbs are tied by spider webs and I am floating
Why are they staring 
They are not staring 
But why are they staring 
What do I look like?
Why do I look like that? 
Papier-mâché heart crumples and the face melts under the pressure of streams from the eyes 
Whose tears are these? 
Hopeless...
