I'd rather be a wallflower chained to your beauty
then that dancing girl whos dancing out of duty
With own notion a wallflower blooms inward
conceals conviction no one perceives
until loneliness contours my mind.
My luck, much like a wallflower
that never sought attention
Fortune blinked! Her coyest smile
invited apprehension
The difference between
a social butterfly
and a wallflower ~
I'm busy yakking now
Gimme an hour or so ...
Slow walks and sweet wine
Soft whispers of sparking waters
Shy wallflower and a slim waist
Silky white skin touches begins
She headed for the corner.
Demure and graceful she sat ~ a wallflower.
Clueless of her feral charm.

Anna wallflower didn't have many chances
and nodded when Pierre asked her to dance
he spiked her fruit punch
to prime her for a pump
but Anna bit his tongue clean in half
Unlisted number flying under radar
keeping low profile to avoid undue attention
~ wallflower melts into the background

"DANCE?"
Wallflower
Off the wall
Superfresh, too much talk

Superfresh
Watching people like it’s sport
Amber smile the winning sort
Lovely lips repeat a joke
Laughs on cue as you hope
Fuchsia fears hidden well
Looking for exit despite sitting there
Onyx knight full of silver stars
Wishing to leave soon by car
Evening close to an end
Romantic night just begins
Hello!
Do you see me -
the wallflower beauty?
Am I invisible, honey?
Why won’t the bees buzz? Am I out of sight?
I am out of sight. I flash smile,
twirl in my poppy dress,
tap his shoulder -
Hello!

Trees
look down,
breath catching,
at reflections
mirrored in mountain
river's deep, quiet pools;
those shy wallflower maidens
leaved in sizzle tinted dance gowns
blush scarlet beneath the sun's bold gaze,
accept his hand, swirling to a wind waltz.

WHEN WINTER'S SPRING
When winter's spring
And the wallflower sprout
Has found a footing,
We will away to the rainspout
And be immersed in the cool flood,
Finding there every hardness
Of January's cold blood
Gone from every shardness,
Melted in the warm release
Of April's embrace.

On the edge she sits, a frail nonentity;
neither bloom nor spirit nor secure identity,
as forlorn and shy she trembles, a man
asks her to dance, she must decline.
She struggles with an careworn heart
out of control, O what a dreadful toll!
How shall she reform her hapless pose
so that, carefree, she may blossom like a rose?
On the edge she sits, a frail nonentity;
neither bloom nor spirit nor secure identity,
as forlorn and shy she trembles, a man
asks her to dance, she must decline.
She struggles with an careworn heart,
out of control, O what a dreadful toll!
How shall she reform her hapless pose
so that, carefree, she may blossom like a rose?
It is only now,
As I bathe in the sun,
That I notice you,
Little one.
I recognise you
In this light
And yet you’ve always been here
Smiling bright,
Watching wise
as the seasons sing,
Waiting for me to love
the little things
And now, as I sit here
soaking the rays
I declare I will return
Even on the rainy days.
On the edge she sits, a frail nonentity;
neither bloom nor spirit, nor secure identity,
as forlorn and shy she trembles, a man
asks her to dance, she must decline.
She struggles with an careworn heart,
out of control, O what a dreadful toll!
how shall she reform her hapless pose
so that, carefree, she may blossom like a rose?
I’m a fan of that background sound,
the world’s underlying rhythm;
Life’s glass has a melodic rim
amplified with every shot downed;
To the sharps in the air I’m bound,
it’s who I am I’m cool with that;
The wallflower among chitchat,
still I crave the quiet sometimes;
In the moments that static climbs;
solitude can calm a hood rat.
To this very day
I feel much like I don't have much to say
preferring to hide
and I often am told
that I don't smile
I just seem to fade into the background
and come out maybe once in awhile
to check out how things are
any changes I should be aware of...
it's so much safer locked here inside of me
where I feel grounded with equanimity.
Form:
i saw in the mirror, a reflection of mine
the wallflower that fade and shine
standing atop in the war against my fears
demolished the walls, became a people pleasure
made friends that spew out poison
nothing good came from letting pretenders into my life
took off that mask and enjoyed my own company
now i have someone, a true friend of mine
whimsical windswept whiteness
wedding weekend wanderlust
willowy wonderland waltz
wrongfully weathered woe
wintry wishful whispers
wrestling woodland wintertide
welcome waxen wallflower
weeping wheezy widow
whimpering wholeheartedly
wrangling worthless worries
wanton wretched wrongdoing
wedged within wickedness

wilting wallflower with whimsical ways - watching waltzes while wishing
Listen to poem:
Dressed, yellow, not red to distract,
Drapes, and flows, not all tightly wrapped,
Down to toes, not up like a skirt,
Statuesque, not loose like a flirt,
Fond of her, sad, for we must part,
Now a change, new girl for my heart,
Just my thoughts, of then passing day,
New girl on wall, for month of May.
