out in icicled darkness
softly i gave myself to the shadows
my nodding head beating
to her singing hurts
as i make shapes
breathing sharpened
mist catching
moon eyelashes
as they flutter
bashfully...

Nature distorts humans
to conform to its pattern, in shape and form.
Stretching, bending, squeezing
the human form to somehow fit in,
as an odd Chameleon,
hiding out of place 
distorted and misshapen,
bashfully conforming in camouflage....

In a starless sky

the moon is a spoon that bashfully beams 

behind white wisps of clouds.

You ask me where the stars have gone.

"Darling," I reply, "They shine in your eyes

more brightly than the silver moon....

Bugs become beautiful butterflies,
basking bashfully beside blooming buttercups.
Breezes blow butterflies...bounding, bouncing, balancing
Butterflies bathe, belt bloom's beverage, buzz breathlessly 
beyond blue blossoms.
Butterflies' beauty blazes brightly!...

There are women,
beautiful and flawless
like hourglass.
With smooth, shiny skin.

There are women
who look and move like goddesses.
Strong and stunning,
with sharp minds
and hypnotizing eyes.

I stand between them
in the shadow of
my wild, uncombed hair
and stare bashfully....

Back when 
all that laid ahead 
were the unheard 
tales of time 
tensely twirling 
towards tomorrow.
Where our 
hollow heedless 
heads of hope
would wistfully 
follow.
Still strumming 
out their
stammering 
starless streams
of desolate 
undecided 
dreams.
Then bashfully
burn out 
into bittersweet 
beams of 
belittlement....

away i go
feeling free and feeling good
music playing, i wave to All The Blessings Around ME
my rare smile sneaks up on me from nowhere
sincerity is the warm blanket that i can cope with
the snow starts to fall bashfully
it is at that very moment that fully smell Christmas In The Air
with benevolently astonishing merriment, i happily frolic along...

Love without Hope      Oh, even the sunflowers could not cope,
for their precious petals long to be plucked, from your love-me-not touch.
Can you not hear their slender green stalks, sway so bashfully,
with echoes of that recess kid fantasy      Pick   Me      Pick      Me!

A lovely lady butterfly; with wings of sapphire kissing my brow 

Trimmed amid gold and black; wishing to nest atop my lashes

Peeking bashfully into these eyes; she seems so very shy....

Perhaps it is innocence which bears her truth; whispering softly

Dear John, tis but I, your precious and priceless, Honey Bunny ~

Cornfields whisper sweet nothings,
The sun bashfully sings.
You are the cause of pardon,
To you the leaves are wings.
Young men smile at your wit,
As you steal my hair away.
The hushed rain summons your command
As you capture fearful gray.
Clouds sway at your wish
As my kite follows you.
I hate now what has become
Your powerful empty hue.
No substance begs your reason,
No soul knows your fears.
I have never loved another,
Who fell these shaken tears....

Bashfully, dimple-ly
Child-like  grin on my face
Naturally, clumsily 
Jumbled up speech all over the place

Often left wondering 
"Was I misunderstood?" 
A tad bit optimistic
Far too curious, for my own good

Dig a bit further, braincells debate
Thoughts come back to that family tree 
Is it destiny or some kind of fate
Search a bit deeper within my psyche
Discombobulated,  now I need a coffee.

The meekly
mollified man
subtly sews
his silently
simplistic sights
upon reality’s
rickety rufescent light .
Always left
lifelessly looming
beneath the brain’s
bashfully blurred
background
of benevolence.
Frankly flickering out
the faded flaws
whose firm
factual flames
of effectiveness
have by now
grimly grown
themselves
out of Life’s
limp lashes
of limelight .
Solemnly swearing
their silent
silken seas
of sorrow
into the
sulking sands
of insignificance ....

Melody Smile 
Suttle expressions 
Delay, helpless pause 
Shyly into a haze 
A Melody Smile 
Softly quiet 
A simple home 
Empty pages Empty rooms 
Narrow to solitude 
Always reading victorian books 
Blushing bashfully 
Just wondering 
What is your name? 
I pass by you all the time 
So brittle like snow 
So dreamy through a stained glass window 
All hold all of your smile  
All walk with you through whimsical clouds 
A Melody Smile 
A shyly girl  
Breathtaking in a small town...
