anonymous card
passionate cowardice words
a valentine wish

asking for a date
benevolent gallantry
one kiss too many

tensed on one knee
proposal of love
will you marry me please?

Why afraid of war
When you have fearless gear  
Attacking like the brave
Sending lives to the grave

Brave warriors to the ants
Mimosa pudica to elephant
You are loving peace
While killing innocents

You want to win the battle
When you do the bombing
You don’t fight the mountain
But only from the...

Eyelashes 
  Batting in bashful style 
    Like the dance of weeping willow leaves

Sculpted nose 
  Crafted in perfection 
    Double caves in a sheer rock mountain 

Rosy lips 
  Tender in lusciousness

Said Bashful Billy
To this pretty filly
"Can I give you a peck on the cheek?"
Said the pretty filly
To Bashful Billy
"Yes, but first there's something I seek!"

Well, Bashful Billy
Really had no clue
What this young filly was asking for
So he whipped out a frog
From his colourful togs 
Said,...

Come out from behind that

distant cloud, don't be so

bashful, we won't hurt you.

Spring flowers delaying

their growth without

your light to shine on them.

Gardens having hissy fits,

without your heat to

dry up the water that

the rain sent.

So don't be bashful, or shy

come on out and shine for us

once...

With bravado, during a bayamo,
A bashful barbudo
with a propensity for dissentiousness
Flits bottomward, toward a sand encrusted crusado

A crusado, mayhap, wellaway once possessed by
A seafaring hildalgo skittering
Over cirulean crests

What wry musing must the esurient bashful
barbudo mull
While it wends it way to the wayworn crusado?

Once and now...

Bashful heart I have become because of my past,
I have loved so much and thought it was the last.
Then you came to my life I was happy it was a blast,
Because of you I love again, I'm not anymore out-cast.

Bashful heart I don't know how...

innocent flirtation can be a dangerous game
yet and still i play it in the hopes of it coming to fruition
distance can be the merciless foe of a love so desired
though now she is with him, the connection we have still shines in our replies and...

I wonder whether the birds I watch
mind being watched?
Do they wonder what the hell 
the bird watchers are looking at so intently,
with such devotion to the census?
Or wonder what are the itchy twitching bewitchers
are carrying in their camera bags?
Can there be no privacy for flimsy...

The Bashful writer

He had been into a bookshop a few weeks ago

yes, that was ok just bring me the books the manager said.
