Grasp and Grip

The grasp and grip, grab and seize,
rupture and gasp, the gulp and huff,
resolutions and resolves, definitions and motions,
the emblems of carnation, or the yawn of intuition.
Is it to grapple and snatch, or, ponder and perceive,
dilemmas deceive, or, propound and yield,
temptations annex, and persuasions congeal,
The moments foresee; pendulums do veer.
ticks and beats curtail,
the sneaky zephyrs, the cracks foretell,
restrains prevail, or, the fortunes pertain,
kismets and destines, shiver, or, sustain.
the countless pursuits, outlays and bounties,
deers dance the scenes, cervids serve the feats,
mountains shock the deeds, or, eagles sail their needs,
oceans fill the rims, or, salty land precede.
Twine credos, creeds or dogmas,
Buds and blossoms, the faith merging seeds,
Joy juncture of deeds, chase the hum and whirr,
Streams roll and reel, moments ignite, hug the breed.
Deliberate and muse, reverberate and amuse,
ruminate and mull, the birds fly the peaks,
the whine and hiss, are the one to pass by,
flourish susurrating tinkles, the resonating sounds.
the zest and gusto, sapidity and savor,
the tang and bliss, surround and murmur,
events and chases, only form to ordain,
while the canaries submit to ascend.
