Captive
Grinning coyly 
She feigns timidity
Cunningly knowing fools become
Ensnared...

I hid my raw, bleeding visage from
Your insubstantial glance...

Captive
Grinning coyly 
She feigns timidity

In my ultimate unnatural timidity,
I must admit a bit of vulgar sublimity
In my blatant disregard for femininity
And my propensity for despising fake saccharinity...

seasons
of abrupt
            movement
and
appealing 
           beauty,
           proportion,
           structure-
no sentimentality
or
timidity..   
           symmetry
with
shapes

Found poetry 2+3 inspired by Hedges by Clare Leighton...

courage
                    valiant, heroic, 
      summoning, praising, mustering
determination, fortitude, timidity, coward
       hiding, reproaching, displaying
                 disgraceful, pitiful
                       cowardice

One should never be surprised

If he sees ignorance sitting on the throne of success

For it is knowledge's timidity and modesty

That allows incompetence to become so audacious 

As to insist authority's crown to possess!

Arc light blazed
circus arena
clown turns 
tiger tamer
timidity painted 
bold façade
and now for something
completely different
in a new show
a black sheep
on the trapeze
courage convoluted
life malleable.

A man who is
Afraid of his own words,
In his eyes, nothing but
The timidity of a rat;
Without guards and
Bulletproof motorcades,
A wasteful wife;
He would pee in his pants:
Crazy he cowered us with violence,
Wasted our lives;
Finger on cheek,
Like a thoughtful statesman,
What a farce!

I am going there
your living post where 
I go periodical
wait till your coming, most standing right
be seated with loving amoretti
just for your looking 
book my heart to gaiety
shakes me the timidity
where I cannot say something
but truly write I 
where your love is long staying

waking to timidity of the
psyche
the day feels doomed not 
right

push through it all till night
fall
arriving home he seems so
tall

sensing weakness starts a 
fight
pushing all buttons with
insight

trying to remain calm and
strong
he wins- trophy tears
torch-song

Swallowing 
My timidity 
With a long 
Shot of puff 

Amidst a sea of Jasmines
Sitting on wooden vases 

Rippling
The smile 
I hardly wear 
With warm 

Swaying lips-- so tender
Yet, as I dragged myself 

To outlast 
The whims 
Of doubts--
Inside me

My mate came, with question 
Marked on her face, in protest...

I am woman.
Created to be beautiful,
but the world has degraded me,
made me less than what is true.
I was created as a helpmate,
but I've been chained,
enslaved.
A creature of timidity,
but forced to roar,
or it seems no one will listen to me.
But, I am blessed.
There is something more for me.
The creator of this creature,
who truly defines me....

YOUTH


A time when puberty hits and the state of mind alters,
thoughts of wild imaginations and adventures.
                      
                          YOUTH 

A time for fun and recklessness,
mistakes and impulsiveness.

                          YOUTH

A time when courage is decided over timidity,
and pure love lost over dignity....

On the edge with a few pegs down the gut
Hideous images to see in mirrors
Must you shock others to this reality?
There is no scrimmage between our talents. 

I was looking for my whiskers to twitch
Powder the facial turf to gloss the lips
Darkness swamped my mind with timidity
For I murmured my thoughts to hear you roar.

Lord help me for today I saw a Lion
What if I see a Dinosaur tomorrow?...

Receding waters allowed me to walk
on the heart of the ocean floor.
The lady of the ocean extended her hand —
the wings of a seashell soared.

God heard boldness tempered with timidity —
cherry redness ingratiated on warm cheeks.
A taciturn excitement parted her lips —
the Lord eager to give her all that she seeks.

One shell hailed from the uncovered sand.
Only one whispered the words:    All is well....

running scared
away from Hate
The masses gather
My linching can't wait
all my life
I have been their prey
by stepping on me
Makes their living ok
SEE THE FUNNY LITTLE CLOWN
FUNNY FACES HE MAKES ALL AROUND
They want to get rid of a peaceful timid guy
He has the right to keep living
Why do you want him to die?
The end is near
My fate so cast
Timidity has a place in this world
But MEN don't want them to last...

Among all crimes you adore
Anger is of the first cocksure!
It is so vice that it does shower
On the weaker whom they abhor.
When one encompasses, one bore
A deep profound peril in his adore.
I do, but hate me why not I deplore
Anger – my timidity – shown ashore.
The best place for it be boudoir
Where no one feels no gore.
Anger, for me, just like a claymore
Which hurts none but us before
We realize or understand or lore....

There are moments we wished had never ended
Memories that could linger on
Bring back those days when my heart was egulfed in so much laughter
The craziness of our youth we wished we would forever live in
An era I desired we shouldn't outgrow
Now my cheeks are filled with grey smiles
In the timidity of adolescence
We didn't realise we would grow old
Though my mind is filled with so much pain
I knew I could lean on the grips of happy times...

Stormy snowy night
Howling the black fox 
Whelps, on the central door, whining
Dead like all around of me
Wordlessly massive butchery
  
As if hearing I’m- “Wolves there are
angry glitzy eyed, hungry to fight
lets sleep a while silently!”

But, I don't like to sleep 
Don’t like to stay behind and 
wait far from wolves roaring, 
Fear and timidity I shun all friendly
My journey to surmount all by love sharing

Vulnerable
She danced with abandon
When the rage in her needed to rage
Never did she allow her timidity to intervene
’cause she needed this time to come alive
For her inner death was stifling her, suffocating her
She danced, escaped, to where she felt free
Delivered, but still so vulnerable
And it was her vulnerability that brought her back eventually
To where she would feel the need
And the longing to lose herself again
In dance.

Peter the Rock
 afraid of cock
 hailed from fishermen
 appointed to catch men
 called to be apostle
 wrote two epistles
  given the keys of hell
  proclaimed JESUS well
  introduced by Andrew to Christ
  prompted to withdraw fish net
  accepted Jesus at Bethany
  declined at Gethsemane
  shattered by the threat
  restored by His gracious look
  gave up timidity showed boldness
  turn out the world with word
   martyred for Christ upside down...
