Best Nervousness Poems
Break the silence...how can I break the silence
Break the silence...how can I break my infinite silence
good question but what if I don't want to break it
I'm so used to it; I'm so fond of this silence I keep
it's part of who I am, what I stand for
the motive behind my quiet, arrow eyes
this comfortable, omniscient smile resting arrogantly upon my lips
Although I'm content, understanding of my state of mute
even I myself, ponder the reasons for this shyness, this silence
why am I like this
I know why
to mask all the secrets I've buried under the body armor I contain
But I find myself wanting to reveal them all, all out at this moment
to this enigma of the perfect definition of 'stranger'
I'm stealing quick but noticeable glances
which is robbing me of my concentration
Then she silently sighs, and I'm motionless, speechless
so why do I feel so alive, feel like I can fly
I'm staring into her orbs of hazel but gaze upon her ruby red lips
soft, sweet, silently calling my name or is it my imagination
Now my curiosity is peaked to the extreme
Break the silence...should I break the silence
I want to, I want to but I have an attack of nervousness
just for one quick second
one small amount of time
enough to at least say
...Hi
Trapped in meaningless whirling thoughts
Boundaries draped around the body
Unsaid words confined in laughing gear
Dread sentiment flowing in breadbasket
Trembling uncertainty waving inside the stump
Sealed in anticipation of a utopian epoch...
Carefully we planned for the big day
Oblique qualms and doubts drove me away
Moody and thoughtless insensitivity
Maudlin thoughts curbed the festivity
Onerous thoughts like small transmitters
Now revealed my flutters and flitters
Ashamed, you admitted you had the jitters
Laughingly we both had learned
Intimacy shared is intimacy earned
Treasuring our love, our life unknown
You and I, together we’ve grown.
Our special child now perseveres to stand
wowing us along therapist's command
as I pray with faith*'s might
eyes closed midst nervous plight...
shame on me; doubting miracles' demand!
*Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
