MLMM the given words:
grate (​noise or ​behavior that annoys)
stygian (dark or gloomy infernal; hellish.)
geminate (to make or become doubled or paired)
torsion (the act of twisting of a body by two equal and opposite torques.)
razorwine (extremely potent alcoholic beverage)
rare silence sour technicolor inept puppet

it grates his stoic stature
not believing a loving menace
can be stygian in its nuisance

they strategically geminate
to provide a strong attack
by a spectacular show of torsion
to effect a deadly sting

madness of a razorwine onslaught
is telling on his being
rare in its occurrence but still
he suffers in silence 
sour of mood

hallucinations in brilliant technicolor 
inept as a blundering puppet
that is how he cowers in the corner

must find a way to stage a creditable defense
or he'll forever be reduced
to a blob of a man in the face of a pugilistic
tae-kwon-do black belt holder

how he regrets in not checking
such 'finer details' before marriage
