Trepidation Poems

Premium Membertrepidation

trepidation becomes a crime,
when you're homeless
and taking up room,
in the warmth
of the lamp-lights
to stay safe,
where there's cameras,
The corporations
regard you worse than
a police horse's deed
The late night
of clubbing on the beat
and I'm not talking
the choir of a night scene
but those so wearily
and just trying to sleep,
told to move on to where
but anywhere but illuminating,
sink into the

Little Blue Dove

		
Her look said much thou she in essence hid a lot
Her look had an accusation that did set me aback
Her manner one of one in great internalized turmoil
Her demeanor said she has been thru pretty much

It was plain and apparent she needed to find someone
Not just a solid shoulder to lean on that at the

Confronting shadows

Why can't I walk in the garden at night?
Horrible shadows keep blurring my sight ~
They make me run like a man with no balls.
Each time I trip and get bruised from my falls.

These shadows whisper cold fears in my ear,
Now I understand the songs sung by fear,
Yet I must confront these fiery shadows,
But each new

Foothold on the sun

My heart sings as I walk on springs,
With foothold on the sun, unburned.
Your love fills my heart, my soul,
My whole being.
I swim in love – I fly without wings.
Joy clings to my feet,
Gratitude fills my mouth.
So I sing, I dance in the air,
My claps echo with harmony.

Happiness knows no rival
Since you arrived with your love.
Your

One second I am watching

Battling Mind

 
A whirlwind of emotions
A cyclone of wandering thoughts 
A tempest of trepidation 
That leaves me baffled and distraught 
The devastation of my battling mind 
Wreaks havoc in the soul's sacred shrine.

Amidst the bright light and the sumptuous summer sunshine,
Why does the beam gleam of the thin rays of darkness enwrap?
The sturdiness of our bones fails, as though we've lost our spine.
Our inner sanctum is erased from our location map.

Blood clotted, mouths unable to utter secrets, we pine
With hopes and hopelessness, like eggs in a single

intimidation, seeks trepidation.

Ignore. Be patient.

The Trepidation of Hell

Upon the earth we dwell what lies beneath our feet
It’s the lake of fire and its blistering hot heat
If you could look in the devil's eyes of desire
He would cast all of mankind in the fire
On a sinner's deathbed looking withered and frail
When one burns one will be bald, dead, bloated, and pale
Before then he

The ant is one who works all day
and barely sleeps at night
Seldom is he, if ever
fearful of an unjust or a losing fight

He lives to serve a queen
and she he seldom sees
but he is hers in mind and soul
to do with as she please

She dictates and rules to all her breed 
with a simple yes

Copious tears flowed gently in the dire disaster 
                            but we're not in brutal excess.
Doom occurs precisely in a proper time

Trepidation

Lurking around each corner 
Waiting to blanket 
   Hopes
   Dreams 
   Desires 
Ready to squander 
   Love 
   Goals
   Lust 
Reckless and ruthless 
Heed those days of yore 
Always at hand

We went to the darkest places to explore our fear, the alleys and the cemeteries where the trees were thickest and the light dwindled to nothing. We did not go alone walking on the cusp of bravery but led each other dare upon dare to breech each chasm. We knew the day and the places

Trepidation

The curse of an
inflated imagination.
An escarpment of thought
in a blistering mind.

An invasion of insolence
amidst a tempest-tossed
cacophony
of mewling memories.

A throat restricting,
heart galloping,
and eyes trembling.
A voiceless scream for help.

A crouching body
in cold defeat.
A quivering being,
gasping for an
exasperating breath.

Then, a ferociously seized breath -
transplanted
from an enchained soul,
gives birth to grave apathy.

A silent tear dissipates
into an endless ocean
of trepidation.
