Short Hesitance Poems

there was evidence
their presence and precedence
of our presidents

a coincidence
about all our Presidents
face has radiance

we had many hints
penitents as Presidents
said with hesitance...

I have seen you here
I have felt you in
every inch of where
I have resisted,
tried to keep you clear

of my damage
my hesitance
my sheer lack of
everything I

know you need
(and I need)
but still you

whispered
your way 

in...

The fear of being
alive, (and truly
alive) within the
confines (that's freedom)
of a careful heart;

the hesitance
to draw a breath
for hope (this love),
the only chance

for a life
beyond the
doubtful (the

mournful,
sad; my

fate)...

Wings of freedom soar 
above hesitance;
The wind pushes you 
soft and sometimes hard;
Liberty will cost;

Having a choice 
to fly or land 
is lined in blood;
Rebels fight hard;

For our rights 
resist and 
continue;

No one 
can stop 

fire....

HESITANCE
                     


 sank in slant glance, as you looked back once, while walking leaving hesitance.

I fell like a shooting star
When I saw you from afar
Dancing with your friends
Grappling this love that transcends

You approached me
Wanting me to dance
I felt the urge to flee
But overcame my hesitance

We danced the night away
Lost in the strobe lights
You stole my heart away 
Like a thief in the night....

Better to reach for something
and miss
than to hold back playing it safe

Destiny in the intention
and choice
hesitance falling from grace

Better to be adopted 
by truth in flight
than the orphan of a lie

Where words and music marry as one
on the highest mountain
—you climb

The pillow holds my head 
til the sun peeks in the window 
ever so slowly as though daring to view my face 
yet not afraid to be the first 
of the day. 

A warm embrace pursues 
seeping sweetly within my skin 
fiercely, and yet with a gentle, soft coaxing kindness, 
undaunted by my hesitance 
to succumb....

locked away
like a prisoner
for life

it wishes
for days
without
bondage

beats
without
echoes
falling
behind

moments
breathless
without 
struggle

memories
without
pain

to bleed
love
without
hesitance

to escape
these walls
that protect

it feels safe
locked away
like a prisoner
for life
it stays...

Not lying outright
is far from the truth
Hesitance vacuous
barren of fruit

What never gets said
deceitfulness hides
Stalking and preying
while buried inside

The pulpit a soapbox
 lectern a mask
Pontification
deceptions bombast

Wittingly fervent
the devil subverts
False implication
—the ultimate hurt

(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)...

Lost thoughts in mind
Lifeless, until found
Now words on paper
Sparked by the heart 

Love poems are born
Now, my soul is visual
Revealed only to you
Grasp, hold my feelings 

They were the impetus
To write of undying love
Now my heart's secret
Is open for you to read 

Now exposed, vulnerable
I wonder what you feel
Gone is all my hesitance
And my psyche's mystique...

I've got these two friends
I'll describe as my bookends
holding up the library,and
the pages in my head

Like rainbowed archways
such colorful personalities
our day to day exchanges
engage to inspire me

Two pots of gold
how fortunate am I
to have and to hold
such friends in my eye

Even at a distance
their presence is felt
without further hesitance
your warm friendships,I melt........

Unearned breath is deposited in to my flesh; I am awake
my eyes are open and are able to view another day.
my limbs allow my walk without crutched assistance,
from my mouth flow my words with no hesitance.
I do not have to stress over food,clothing, or bills,
nor do i doubt any sickness I have, you will heal.
i cannot unerstand why you love me so much
i do not mean a thing without your guiding touch....

Be positive and upbeat
Think of our loves
And also our love ones
Of the things so simple
We just give without any hesitance
And whatever their response
Always believe they too love.

When our goal is a good cause
Learning and doing  are services
Mechanized service de luxe
Be sure its been wholeheartedly done
Never think of the negative
For we don’t want our family die
And God knew our intention is sincere....

I shall attempt all if you were to give me your heart....

Her hair bun higher in the air.
A Venus head askew.
A cameo for a head bust;
she holds a solemn view.

Her amber ears glowed softly.
Both pierced by pewter studs.
Defiled for your attention.
Your heart gone dry of floods.

Her teeth shone on as jutters.
Their light a warmer ice.
Her hesitance all relieving.
Forgiveness at a price.

This girl already a woman.
One's heart can't see to lie.
A beauty for the holding.
A cutout from the sky....

To speak to a snake from beneath your sheets–
This hissing, slithering, serpentine gaze;
The cadence of patience, your eyes it meets,
And sings to the days long lost in that haze.
It stands in your fears, and brushes these walls–
The soft and the silent, your self it shapes;
In seconds of stupor it sighs to your calls,
Resistance to hesitance, those sacred shades.
A shrine to shelter these sordid scales, see–
See this sense, the snake and its sympathy....

Whenever I'm with you,
I don't hear our clothing fall.
nor the change in our breath,
or the neighbors down the hall.

There is no sound in between us
the heat then speaks instead
it dances with us, back and forth
leaving sentences in sweat.

I have never heard hesitance,
or shame when we are close.
I hear nothing but the sweet nothings
that we already know

So to me we lay in silence,
which is strange to all but us
but our true love is deafening
if you listen hard enough....
