Coy Lament Espinela
Gold trumpet of flowers blooming,
an embellishment of big sound;
Spectators start to bop around
as a beat fills the air booming;
Succulent scent a bar’s forming,
with each inhale they fall in line;
The melody just hits so fine,
each hue a little different;
New version of a coy lament,
old world charisma lets it shine.

Beware of too coy a wife
An unfaithful wife poses coy,
A spouse too straight perhaps plays fool,
Salty sea feels soothing cool,
Courteous goes fraudulent ploy,
Too sweet a tongue tends to befool.

Her Coy Smile
A white handkerchief
embroidered in lace
concealed a coy smile on
the fair maiden's face
The very first 'feminist'
in her own delicate way...
to view the charms of her smile
men had to do things her way

Tomboy
Skirt and blouse - rejecting tomboy
Is never the cringing coy:
Very early dumps every toy
And her milky but effeminate soy,
Cheerily ever for the boyish,
Forswearing everything girlish…
A sex-change operation hopeful
And male-fun partaker in full:
Never the allergic to drinking contests
And exclusive-to-males protests:
Not when she has got her throaty bellow
And could say A Pure Rebel’s Hello!
Cleary not

Guinevere To Arthur Being Coy
Oh, my darling Arthur, this euphoric feeling what is it?
Is it something from sensual pleasure?
Or something in my dreams?
Is it perspiration glistening on a manly chest?
Or when I have rivulets of perspiration running between my breasts?
Is it lying on a beach somewhere when bodies meet as one?
With waves crashing

The Sea's Coy Lover
I float in an aquamarine idyll;
a bird soaring in shallows
while hearing translucent echoes,
hovering pastel ripples
reminiscent of cobalt depths
carried on shy currents
to an alabaster beach.
Sun's shimmer tiptoes
on serpentine waves,
pirouettes like star bursts
among the soupcon
of fuchsias and teals
that tease the surface
like a coy lover.

Coy Obsession
thence it shall be considered
spoken, to satisfy your need
spoken only as it is worded to
be read, spoken
those that shall hear these words
shall ask others why, and in defense of
there sanity they shall want never to hear
these words again.
sung they might find an audience
to the rhythm of a drum
that they might dance around hearing it.

To His Coy Master
Had we but words enough and tact
This coyness, master. Were no crime
I will like Marvell
Use simile to woo your love
And wait on you on the wings of time
Till your hardened ice becomes water
And I, able to pen you down in black
But at my back, I always hear
The roar
