within my thoughts
some days, yet I
still hold on to a
 grip that doesn't

Wince

Eyelashes flutter
to grip the grime
from particulates
radical in flight
with the loose
trajectory of
pillaging
rogues.

One day as it go

The Crow

If you love me,
Don't set me free.
Grip me.Bond me.
Chain me!

Let me:

can break a man’s grip
on his own throat

Or offer redemption

A Pulling Abyss

At a cliff, hanging,
My grip starts going unwind,
Making me fall deep...
A bereaved forlorn abyss,
Comes pulling us to our death...

Marvelous kaleidoscope of colors emerge
Awakening from winters stark grip
Young life blossoms forth

The subtle line that separates both 
is the perspective of our subconscious realm

The Grip

Holding on to a memory
Holding on to a dream
Holding on ever tighter

Swings and Roundabouts

A torrent of life,
Bursting like a bud in spring.
Face squashed to a smile,
Leading me with eager grip
To the see-saw and the swings.

Dipterous

Shadorma (Dipterous.) 

An insect
Walks on the ceiling 
A hideous 
Blue bottle 
Hope it does not lose its grip
And land in my soup

Safety

I release the safety
on the grip
then take aim
and let 'er rip
when will I learn
it won't be too soon
like a bullet
words can wound

Cerulean Heart

shades of cerulean enclose my ice-bound heart
and radiate misted frost into the breath of the earth,
tethering love in its glacial grip.
