The Grip

Holding on to a memory
Holding on to a dream
Holding on ever tighter
Holding on—holding me

icicle's fingers
                      curl from frigid wind blowing
                               winter has a grip

Grip

Get a grip
before it slips away
Patience comes 
to those who wait
Spare the sorrow 
Learn from your mistakes
Life worth living 
Is yours to take


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

Get A Grip

Trump supporters on selves get a grip;
He should have served an internship,
Experience received,
And us not deceived;
He should have given us all the slip.

Premium Member Time Loosens its Grip

      The scent of a blossom
        the breath of the wind

      A freshness fills the air
        life on a Spring day without a care

      Time wafts over us
        loosens its grip

Trump Is a Dip So Get a Grip

Trump Is A Dip So Get A Grip

On ourselves with hands  must get a grip,
Now that we know Trump has been a dip;
Then  better yet,
Dumb as you get,
And hope that we find many who will flip.

Premium Member Grip of Autumn

Summer's passed on to meltdown
Nature sways in winds of change
A flowing cascade hastens
Woodland stage waits another dawn breaks.

Get a Grip

G-et a grip on emotion, 
E-arly twenty-sixth of July; 
M-inimize your excuses, 
M-ake no plea or 
A-libi. 

L-et your tension decrease, 
A-fter the long hard trip; 
R-emain calm and composed, 
A-s you must get a grip.

Love's Grip

Love's Grip

Love 
Grabs me
So close now
I'm so afraid
My heart is beating
I'm cold as winter ice
My limbs begin to tremble
I try to loosen its tight grip
How much I try, it doesn't leave me
It holds on, tormenting me forever.

Premium Member Fears Grip Tender Hearts

Fears grip tender hearts
   still do motivate them too
Trust stays panic's flight
  daylight's promise dispels night

Tousled hair's nervous
  fingers roam so deep, so wide
Keep demons at bay
  glide past cerebrum's swift tide...

Get a Grip Big Chip

Jill has had both knees replaced
and neighbors have been helping.
This actually happened.

Get A Grip Big Chip

On yourself must get a grip;
On bowl could find big chip,
Almost miss;
Smooth now is;
Appeared along the top lip.

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

Premium Member My Addiction's Grip

Happiness lies within
If ure able to capture it
While U continue to spin
Completely out of control
Life’s gone as I know 
The addiction goes 
From half to whole 
The end on the horizon
U can see it coming
A funny thing happens
Ure not afraid of dying

Dark Grip

the dancing discouraged his grief as branches under the sky of a fireworks of war 
forged by then the caterpillars and the bees 
take the nectar sweet flower of the sins they stay at home as the war steadily 
creeping bitterness among the clouds they see
 The move in the dark grip

Death Grip

Do you like the idea,
  after its meaning has changed

Do you hang onto the past,
  when this moment sets you free

Do you continue to grieve,
  as pure joy calls your name

Do the lyrics that you sing
 —suture tight or still bleed

Grip

I hate him
He angers me
I wish he'd die as quick

My feelings
he's angered
are just as real as wit

I know him
He's someone
Someone else I'd quip

He's horrible
He's always
someone else I'd flip

I'll never
No-never
see him as I rip

No never
I'll never
forgive what I can't grip

Premium Member Get a Grip

is that a tremor
  calm down, take it easy
sure it is, distinct this time
  fingers trembling slightly

get a grip now
  no, I can't
I can't grip my pen
  my fingers are shaking now

O, the vagaries of age
  one goes from light to dark
in the tensing of the neck
  and the knot of the stomach

Can'T Loosen My Grip

You're out of your mind
just as I am
You kissed her
and told lies
I took my revenge
and won the last word
So why am I the blue one?

Oh, out of the blue
Julian was right
Those tracks, that train...
Could I ever replace you?
I'll be here if you ever call me
just keep it a secret
For the sake of morality
