Shyness

Emitting raw feelings

Deep within the soul,

Unaware that the tuned

Perceive their sweet vibrations,

Innocence lost inside,

Hidden by painful waves,

Of denial, disbelief, mistrust.

With the rare, careful user,

Of keys entrusted by the flow,

The crack in the silent blackness,

Can without awareness slip,

Deftly quiet, shutting off the view,

Filling rooms set for receiving,

Sympathies from those few.

I can feel your pain, instantly reeling,

I can sense the doubt, cold, distinguished,

I know the truth, hopeful, lost,

I'm aware of desire, looking fearful for agendas,

I am torn by innocence, scared stiff, lonely....True?

I perceive insecurity, feeding,

I want to hold you, stop the bleeding.

Oh, how I know, that words in jest,

Point sharply, tearing open some truths,

I feel too ridded, tempered down passion,

Need to love and love hard it is you,

To be loved, cared for, reminded,

Of young tender, unconditional contact, support,

Trust, understanding, honesty through and through.

To receive you transmit, to transmit must believe,

To believe, you have faith, faith alone comes from you,

To see you, you must face only what is true,

But I know, I know how that must hurt so much,

Hot, scoulding life, crushing folding falling,

Safety now, is your own advice, sever the tie,

Just in case in its wake you must die.
