Timid Tom

Timid Tom had a typical token,
a tiny teddybear,
a tasty taco,
a tattered tophat

Tom had his things taken by taunting Tess
, but Tom toughen 
So he told the tall teacher
Now he is no longer timid Tom

Timid Heart

Heart
Beats fast,
As I watch
Her body moves
In dazzling minuet;
Emotion beyond words,
Yet, before I could touch her
In haste, she was slipped away by 
The amazing Romeo next door;
I despise myself, for I let her go.

Timid Songbird

You caught the bird
That got away from me
So keep it safe
And hold it gently
Since its bones
Are easily broken
And though it might
Flap its wings in fear 
at first,
Stroke its feathers
And wait
And you just might
Hear it sing

Premium Member timid tambourine

can shivering in pain be heard,
taut timbre ~ now memories...
the sound is real ~ pain forgotten
yet heard like iced limbs shaken
and crash where summer thunder reigned
~ now fall in icy silence...

Premium Member Not So Timid As I Roar- With the Voice of My Father-

In my meek and gentle voice timid, gentle spirit I am not my earthen father yet I... In my quiet roar; My Father will come behind of me and in me HIS voice through me shall ~`ROAR`~

Timid Thoughts

Filter through   the fortitude 
mix together   the mundane 
cut up, squeezed, then discarded
but not a bit of flavor remains

tepid to the tongue 
the words still taste all wrong
rinsing down the memories
they've been sitting out too long 

the kettle starts to whistle
timid thoughts begin to run

Timid Lover

Timid, gutless, young man feebly muttered 
Then mustered spartan courage and puttered,
And fluttered he like a dove
And stuttered to say his love,
But "Shoo - Shoo!" pretty, beloved uttered.

Premium Member Butterflies

Building me up from within
Understanding a smile returning with grin
Turquoise love that is a wonderful win
Timid yet optimistic it will never end
Ears that hear your hearts denim desire
Racing pulse burning within like red fire
Feeling a touch from a king a black sire
Longing to prove our love from higher
Indigo inspiration heaven sent
Emerald eyes with tears lament 
So much to feel butterflies intense

Timid Eyes

Timid eyes
From the forest
Beckon; yet hold back,
Wanting to love;
Afraid to trust. 

Lithe body
Like a deer
Ready to spring
At the first sign
Of danger. 

Delicate features
Worthy of infinite contemplation,
Question,
Ready to colour
At the slightest provocation. 

I want to coax her
From the forest,
Show her
There is nothing to fear,
Yet; I know there is. 

So, from a distance
I watch
The timid gentle creature,
All I can give her 
Is freedom.

Oh, My Dear I Didn'T Touch You

Oh, my dear I didn’t touch you
Burning nights under the moon,
Being kind, I didn’t catch you
Hoping I will see you soon.
I was shy too shy too timid
For your penetrating sight
And I wasn’t cruel I didn’t,
Yes, I didn’t read your mind.
I had no my tears forgiving
There was no my fear, but I 
was so sad when you were leaving 
Never saying me good-bye.
Maybe I was wrong. I didn’t
Burn these nights under the moon
You are not mine and so be it
I don’t hope to see you soon.
