Guiles
Gone miles
Morning sun 
Diffidence shun 
Golden crown well-spun
Orbit does run
Like war won 
In styles
Smiles

Sword Play

Watch
Riposte
Spin, and then
Pique the heart ink
Diffidence showing the appalling link

Firmament encroached; caliginous stars
Ergo; all mars
With but three
Cuts to
Bone

Ah
Remise
Dip again
Ink thus imbued
Recondite quill forthwith shall be  renewed

Premium Member Prose Poem Conscience

A awakened conscience ,hides beneath a mask of futility,transfixed by myths,struggles with inner strife and imperfections of conceit.Filled now with hope,diffidence is replaced by pride,our sensibilties embrace innocence,sweet and terse our arms bring love near,awakened ,ideas fly free.

Reprise

Across the room
behind the shadow of his diffidence
he knew the passion of desire,
felt again the question 
forming on his lips,  
while far outside the barrier 
sealed from a hundred agonies, 
not hearing stifled cries choked down,
the  new prospective lover 
slipping fast away, became
unknowing despot to the heart
obedient, 
compressed.

Diffidence

It’s like walking through
The ice chips of
A sun fire –

It’s like standing atop
The falling rain of
A lonely sea –

It’s like sleeping amidst
The misty shroud of
A day moon –

Similar to crouching
In between cloudless
Rays of white –

Identical to clutching
The solid pebbles
Of spitting air –

The distance that
Lingers between
You and I –


The Face In the Mirror

I was a lonely flower whose petals were withered, whose colours were faded and whose sweet nectar was slurped by the deadly demon of diffidence. 

Then the face in the mirror said to me, "You are worthy". 

I took to refill the parched springs of nectar.

Slowly, butterflies came to quench their thirst with my nectar. 
In return, they gifted me my lost colours.

I'm not lonely anymore.

I Found You

In the most darkest place under the moonlight
In the most seeming way I could not be seen
In the most fragmented self I could be in
I found you

In the lowliest spirit of my most fragile being
In the most undesirable dwelling of my self-doubt
In the most bizarre condition I could not decipher
I found you

In my oblivion hunted by diffidence
In my closest verge of claimed death
Yes, I found you
Yet, you did not found me.

Perception

My perception is to make love eternal fact
as it keeps us away from wrong situations.
As the life goes on its elixir is sensed
and its warmth is made without being irate.
Love is fact that sets us in composure
for completion of task at hand wihout diffidence.
And to become successful in life with elation
where achievements  support and vivifies the whole world.
So the love word sets the proper vision
for all trauma to end and glory attained.

A Date

a spurge, a spruce, a creamy spume
of Moscow mayday tree in bloom,
a crush, a diffidence innate
to youth, a long-awaited date,
a me, excited, nervous, pale,
a garden seat, a nightingale,
a slice of sun in strongest tea 
of dusk, a braid, a trendy tee,
a checkered knee-length skirt, a you, 
a sigh, another one, a few
looks at the wristwatch, an abyss
of desperation, a… a kiss.

We Don'T Go Out Anymore

Dancing
In the cut of the sun
We don't go out anymore
Honey coated air
Swirling silence
Beckoning an empty mind
Lie still always fleeting
Like a memory
Roaming through echos
Of an ode to holding you
So close to quell familiar 
Thoughts of diffidence
I desire to feel muted
Like curtains drawn
As I pray the haze of morning
Dew-like molasses dripping
So the day holds
Just a little longer
So we don't go out
I yearn for a quiet love
Beneath these blankets of
Tangled flesh
