   Cautious, desire pops up, looks around
Unexpectedly, eyes meet; cheeks flush crimson

Footsteps

"following in one's footsteps 
are not always good footsteps
to follow -
Be cautious of the footsteps 
you follow."

The cautious clown 
hides his 
crestfallen frown 
behind his 
Intricate crown
of color.
Never letting 
his true self 
fully seep through 
the cracks of 
vulnerability.

Clouds have formed overhead.
Clusters in shades of grey.
Cautious of heavy rain,
Causing deep floods again.
Catastrophic weather.
Closely stay together.
Covered under shelter.
