thin skin and taut thought
cowering
drumsticks everywhere
ink tinged night
murky veil covering
dim, blood splattered eyes
cowering in the corner
sweat soaking skin
an outstretched arm trembles
grabbing the glass again
I am truly faced
Challenges beyond all hope
I trip, fall with complete fear
Hoping for light’s grace
But knowing the dark is near
I cower with all the pain
Russell Sivey
Fireworks celebrating Victoria Day
Have a strange effect on Annie, she hides away
Cowering from the sounds
Explosions all around
It's extremely disturbing to survey
No image of himself
Too near in time
Shrunk back from, in cowering
This o'erpowering.
As what aged, bent, but for
Which missed chance, o'er
Love's, shows remorse so pronounced.
A life denounced!
Sorry as my bruises bloomed
cowering from shadow
make me harder to punch
stopped me from ever being
threw me in the bin
unseenly unnoticed
scars wont let go of the rest
waiting till you rest
and i can hug my fear
Ah! 'Life Stands And Delivers'
What about this!?
Rationalizing is in between stinginess and squandering
With respect to mediateness.
Bravery is in between cowering and recklessness
Tolerance is in between …
And so on.
Watch the whispering winds,
watch the cowering crows.
watch the bold bodies,
of creeping shadows.
Be careful of the tainted air,
be careful of the broken land,
Be careful of the very person,
that is holding your lonely hand.
premonitions
startled
twitching
like whispers
shoot up my spine
lodge in my limbs
cowering
Adrift, adrift (my usual trip)
In icy, unmapped sea,
A splintered spar my only ship—
I clutch it willfully.
Afloat, afloat, each nerve alive,
I brave what is to be,
Instead of cowering, to but survive
On land, secure, not free.
Shrouded in imaginary fear
Consciousness contracting
Illusionary demons sear
In dark shadows cowering
Cause being our attachment
To that that is impermanent
Self blocking bliss contentment
Stagnating in gluey sediment

Crumpled by thunder
Cowering inside the dark
Covered in your fears.
~
Hallowed by your charm
Your crimson sight hungry- bold.
I am merely prey.
~
Leaves scatter- muddy.
Crawl toward the horizon
Find high ground. Don't sleep.
-James Kelley 2019
To lament the lion hearted
to cowering in trembled skin
befits the bottom dwelling things
the silt under wool of society's rug
While bravery is steel in stance
and oils the jaws of recovery
the bite of poison from burnt mouths
will hit the heel every time.
I AM BEYOND ME
BLIND AND COWERING
GASPING FOR AIR
EYES FOGGY
MY THROAT
FULL OF GLASS
I REACH OUT
FOR YOU
SHINY AND SHARP
ERASE ME
I SLINK AWAY
INTO THE NIGHT
THE BLEAK DARK
CALLS OUT TO ME
PULSATING WAVES
ENGULF ME
FLOOD MY BODY
WITH THE SHAME.

Listen to poem:
Sunbeams breached the clouds like searchlights panning
dark clouds looming above red sky flaming.
Lightning flashes with sharp cracks of thunder,
as storm marches ominously closer.
The wind whips the waves up, terrifying
the crew huddled, cowering and praying.
I often wake up tired
Too much cerebral housecleaning
Dusting, filing, musing
Feeding the demons
They are less likely to act up
If they are nurtured
Recognized for what they are
I no longer fear them
But they must be kept
Cowering in the dark
Waiting for me
To tuck them in
Under the cover of deep darkness
Hidden in some obscure corner
Cowering beneath layers of blankets,
My head wrapped in scarves
buried under a pile of pillows…
No matter what,
Oh, upon my poor soul,
I just couldn’t hide from my thoughts.
~A Brian Strand contest.
Confidently he played
Cat and mouse across the
Chequered board of her heart,
Cheating behind her back.
Caught in the act, he lay
Cowering in defeat:
Checkmate...the final move.

When I lost a tear in the ocean, it was gone forever. With that tear, I soared the
darkness that the water hid. I felt the cold night kiss from a sea turtle lost in ones
peak. Will you find my tear cowering in it's darkness?When you find my tear, my love
will end forever.
-Kallie Mason
Cerberus plants his daggered paws
Bars the soul from following the mind
Sends forth demons to dance in the heart
Redemption lost on the ears of the blind
Cowering in the shadow of mirrored fear
Sound waves crash on nerves of glass
Vulcan’s forge feeds on days gone by
A gray-scale world now buried in ash
Form:
A window opened/
a door closed.
A truth hiding,
cowering,
unexposed.
Occasionally
a walk,
breathing truth
out the window
into the world
outside.
Only a little though.
When most talk
no sooth is said,
but they don't know
the power
they denied
isn't able
to grow
because they
can't handle it.
I am in denial
About everything, about life
Ignoring all emotion
Soon it'll cause me strife
I bury all my feelings
Kid on they aren't real
Logical with my dealings
Never need to heal
The battle rages in my head
As the emotions are overpowering
Awaking what I thought was dead
My fragile heart is cowering
Listen to poem:
The serpent rears up
with fangs bared,
upfront and center.
The scorpion's sting
is poised to strike
with a coiled, curled,
cowering, concealed,
backender sting in its tail.
A life flips on a coin toss:
heads for a destiny,
tails for a lingering uncertainty,
when fate strikes upfront,
or with a backender.
The spilt milk,
the crying eye,
apathetic attempts,
the closing mind.
The breath withdrawn,
the battle begins,
counting the stars,
the loser wins.
The cowering wolf,
the beautiful lie,
the ugly sheep,
bye bye, innocence, bye bye.
The want in need,
to live, to die,
the shallow belief,
the faith denied.
