Flew off to Paris.
Cooking ware gaffes,
Nervously laughs.

Kamala Harris,
Is sure to embarrass.
Vice-President is she,
When asked tough questions, giggles nervously....

Kind-hearted alien
asked his friend: “Can I phone home?”

Sitting, standing, needy, and demanding
staring nervously at my hands, then my feet
passion rising like summer heat...

Emotions are high
Feelings confusing
She heaves a cold sigh
Nervously choosing
A partner for life
And be a bored wife...

frightened pale shadows
waltz nervously on the walls;
thunder storm rages inside.
flickering lantern flame
ebbs its glow, surrenders to dark.

To his lawyer he whispered nervously:
My wife’s a framer professionally.
	I’m sure she’s out to get me;
	bribe the jury to incarcerate me
sans parole, otherwise she’ll hang me.”

SINS AFTER MIDNIGHT

dig deeper dagger
whilst i hold the golden stake
crowd shuffles nervously
cautiously applauding
sins whispered in the dark

Children in the schoolhouse
Chant a structured, uneasy song
“Risseldy-rosseldy
Mow-mow-mow"
Monkey Bars behind a bench...
She nervously lights a cigarette
Something is about to happen
A single crow lands.

Trapped within my own mind 
Lost inside my mental complex 
Thoughts flipping swiftly 
Words act as the lump in my throat
Palms sweating nervously
Raising my hand to my head to end the madness 
Brain throbbing at rapid pace 
Body running laps while standing still...

Balassi Stanza: 
Show

Applying mascara,
Hiding a real era,
Flirt with everyone you know. 
Smile with your lipstick,
Get some money real quick,
Do your best, take it slow.
Eyes flicking nervously,
"Missy, please service me,"
Tonight, put on a good show....

what danger lurks
that scares me out of my mind
I nervously await to see
what is going to happen

my blood runs cold
as it rushes from my face
this cold sweat trickles
down my spine
leaving it's imprint on
my shirt

do i face this fear?
or hide the rest of my life?...

Zeusophobia yielded xenophobes,
Wherein violence unleashed
Tear-soaked romanticists,
Quiver painfully? Or nervously moan!
Love killed justice;
In holy Godless Fate.
Entitled dreams collected breathes alone.....




Zeusophobia: fear of God
Xenophobes: Those who are afraid of strangers...

Altered, boisterous, confounded, disruptive, energetic, fine-tune, growing.
Hyper, inquisitive, jokesters kindling love, mystified. 
Nervously obsessive, pubescences question radical substance, surprising.
Teasing, uncontrollably visiting wild, xanadu youthful zest.

Peculators

Artfully bilk, cheat, defraud…  embezzle!
Forgetting gainful, helpful, industrious jobs.
Keeping loot maliciously nervously obtained.
Pilfering, quickly. Robbing, swindling tearlessly.
Until final judgment sends them…  Away.

I AM VISTA

i am artificial
i am disposable
i am programmable
i am binary
i am machine
i am obsolete

i am error
i am problematic
i am incompatible
i am vista
there is no light
on the faraway screen

i do not like this energy
i exist too nervously
 the monitor is watching me
i am overdue for servicing...

I thought it was death finally coming for me
There were footsteps outside my bedroom door
Lying scared in the dark, quiet and mousy
I thought it was death finally coming for me
Peeking into the night nervously
Shaken to the core
I thought it was death finally coming for me
There were footsteps outside my bedroom door...

Perfection is an illusive pastime,
an unending quest that hides delusion
in uncharted diversions on life's path;
Distractions litter obsession's by-pass,
obstacles spring up unannounced,by chance,
opportunity deflates in despair;
Again,again the siren's call beckons
innocent naivety to regard-
mediocrity nervously breaks down....

The crescendo of the leaves

 combined with a cool crisp blustery breeze

 Children toting animated backpacks

 Squirrels nervously adding to their winter stacks

Trees putting on a colorful display

 vying for attention as they gently sway

Invites to attend the Monsters Ball

 All Uplifting to the Soul

 these signs of The Fall...

Restlessly lounging  against the foamy seat
I looked upon the clouds in a different light -
Were they as soft as they appeared like my dream?
Nervously, my thoughts wandered if I'll tame her 
And light back the fire  in those  runaway eyes;
Imagining the self as the embattled conqueror.

Contest: Capture That Emotion...

Oxygen addiction plagues my mind,
Whirling hurling in this façade of a skin suit.
I can't stop moving-
Gracefully escaping myself,
Will it make me confident?
Spiraling into the depths 
Of curtains that would steal my fix,
Smother me in confident
Confidences shared between the wings
Fluttering nervously away-

And I will be alone....

Nervously
Walked into the room
Reminds me
How I lost my feeling
The last time I fainted
Delightedly
Receiving my birthday gift
Reminds me 
How I’d wished for my presents
Anticipatingly
Sat by the phone, waited for ages
How I’d been frozen in shock
When I learned the news
Despairingly
I now sit on the interview chair
Reminds me
How to talk
I blubber but falter...
