Punished at the speed of thought
As her mental sea exploded with wave after wave
Intensity so high she had to close her eyes and grit her teeth
Nerves fried, she fled into the oblivion of darkness hoping to find relief
Like being the king of my domain
I prowl back and forth, roaring to show how big and bad I am
Oh sure I may be scary and intimidating with all these sharp teeth, but
No one said I wouldn’t play with a ball of yarn if given a chance.
The gap in his grin was very off putting
Even though everything else was perfect
Eleanor tried to ignore it, to be happy, no thrilled, with all the rest
That proved futile since she kept finding herself focusing on it
His smile seemed to accentuate the piece of spinach stuck there
So many teeth can be quite scary
Hell, they can even be part of a tornado
And if Hollywood can make a buck off of them
Really should you expect anything else
Keep the faith, fish are friends and not food.

Bob bristled at Angie’s comment.
“Love isn’t blind,” he said. “Love sees everything. Every wart, every defect. Everything. Love just accepts all those things and keeps giving hugs. Love wants to show you that it’s okay to not be perfect, to fail, to do something stupid. Love is there to be wounded, kicked to the teeth, and spit upon. That’s why love is considered folly by some and ludicrous by others, but in the end, love wants to see you be the best you you can be.”
“But Charlie is blind in the book,” Angie said.
“But his love isn’t.”

Slipping under the waves
Pushing her to the bottom
Lisa felt like she found something special
A new world opened up in front of her
Swimming with the sharks she felt no fear
Her smile revealed her sharpened teeth

Braving the elements, Lawrence left his condo and walked east
Leaving behind the love of his life and his children
Evening was setting in as the sun dropped below the horizon
Smiling with chattering teeth, he soon came upon his destination
Sliding back into the kitchen, Lawrence began washing his hands
Everyone deserved to have a good breakfast to start the day
Determined to bake fresh bread for those staying at the shelter, he began measuring
I have looked into the face of Defeat, and I have laughed. Defeat then punched me in the face and asked if I still thought it was still funny as I fell to the ground.
So now I am looking at the feet of Defeat, and I chuckle again because the feet of Defeat just sounds silly. Defeat does not take too kindly to this and makes sure I get a close up of Defeat’s feet as Defeat kicks me in the teeth.
I just hope tomorrow I can still find my teeth, because I have a date with Destiny.
