Rewrite:

Shy

When left alone I write a poem
When face-to-face I have no grace
I titillate a secret whim
But occupy a silent space

I am a bore down to the core
Just ill at ease with shaky knees
My mind in store quotes nothing more
When people quote I simply freeze

I do reach out I almost shout
You see it clearly in my eyes
My voice goes in instead of out
And no one hears my silent cries

But I laugh and smile all the while
And listen all the things that’s said
I nod my head with wisdoms guile
But often wish that I were dead

I’ve built a dyke to hold the flood
And froze my feet in silent mud

Wonderful!  I am not shy one-on-one or as a public speaker. But, when I am at a party I am so much like what you wrote!  Thank you!

Just a wee bit of stage fright Sy?
I doubt it very much you charmer!
Much enjoyed the read..
now you enjoy the weekend.
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

You're a sweetie.....I bet your shine shows as much in person as it does here within the blue pages.  It's sooo nice to see you.   But, I believe I completely understand.

how could one o adore
possibly be a bore

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
