you hesitant?
The glass has spoken clear
body achieves; unanswered face
can't wait......

autumn leaves under new shoes
hesitant feet, eyes with tears
backpacks with sharpened pencils
minds ready to learn...

Love's flirty wink.
Healing heart, cautious. 
Give in to temptation?

I envelop her in arms
grateful for my happy life...

Make Claims on the day

I am not one hesitant to speak my mind
When I see egregious wrong-doing
But trying to destroy another person
Is not something I see myself doing.

Barren Leaves Coast To Cleave
shallow..
shallow peak
hesitant on a kiss
hero in the mist
chase back the fever with a smile
still to know all the great while
love was king

What Intent Meant

Now we understand what God meant,
And were hesitant about His intent;
Bare a big load,
In middle of road;
Only seek enough that will be sufficient.

Acoustic shadows, cast by sound
Whispers in darkness that caper around

Noisy…while silent, 
Distant…hesitant

Wraiths wrapped in velvet
Black shadows abound

Difficult morning
hesitant sun, not again. 
Rise up, 
as you were meant to.
Take the shadows of the night and 
  breathe life 
back into existence. 
Don’t leave me empty 
as you have before....

Wherever We Went and Meant

Wherever ever we went were always hesitant,
Wondering what the people may have meant;
A cannon lose;
What is the use?
Bad habits a person has should try to prevent.

I poorly attempt to manifest my dreams on paper...and  instantly
very hesitant to share the hollow carcass  of what and when,
 but finally allowing some air in and my sin,
 I fear, was time spent......abiding....

Does she really
not know
how beautiful
she is
with her
fresh baby skin
her innocent
childish eyes
her hesitant smile
devoid 
of pretentious
guiles

WANDERER



There comes a day when
Those weather clouds damp 
With dusk setting in, 
When the puddled dirt road  
With hesitant drizzle,    
When the weed-filled ditch,  
Look the same;
But feel like home again....

HESITANT DREAMS 

The impatient gates of 
Expectations,
Opened wide before the
Hesitant dreams,
And
Begged them, forward to rush, 
For to
Cross the threshold of 
The awaiting reality!

They stalk me.
those ankle-panthers.

I try to negotiate a way
into their affections,
yet they scorn
chin tickles, belly rubs
my hesitant ear petting.

Too soon
they strut away
tails stiff in the air
flashing that old pink
one eye....

Where We Went Were Hesitant

When to White House and Congress went,
We always had been careful and hesitant;
Same old song;
Something wrong;
They appeared to be mad and ambivalent.

Hope this encourages others to prepare

Aye
and to sigh,
yet never goodbye...
our reluctance to say..
to close..to leave..
to part..to kiss
farewell;
weider-sehn ,perhaps
au-revoir..later..
see you..wave..then watch
'til
we turn away
and cannot see
no more...
Aye
and to sigh....

amour

                 
          offering amour

                  though hesitant, no glamour.

                                                     accept, do honor.

Empathetic Pet Loving Santa was overrun by the best of pets.
There were puppies and kitties, and hamsters who made bets.
We were hesitant to visit because there was always fur in his pie.
Please have some! He would say. We declined without telling him why....
