soundless, its darkness echoes
alone, and afraid 
would it deride my fears as
one by one they disappear....

I know not
how near or far

Thunder terrifies Mr. A.C. Bell
Lightning scares him sometimes too
A phobia that makes him blue
A full blown rainstorm to him is hell....

Zen-A-Phobia


Bring me home, 
to live with you
in gardens of blue-
	light blue.
Magnify the plot
	Of treasures stored
Gifts of giving
	Giving, giving,
Evermore, evermore…...

It is dark,
Quiet and oddish.
It triggers phobia,
Spiders crawling under my skin.
It is hallow and sinister at best,
And at worst, ominous.
Oh how creepy,
The cell in my head.

Romantic dreams were shattered when
They roamed the sheet in search of food
And hunted on the pillowcase;
The bedbugs spoilt the loving mood…*

you've exposurephobia 
you need it to be over
seeking out the closure

it shows to those that know you
but you're convinced not true
living your life a delude 
in armour we see through
exposed to all but you...

There was a top chef called McRoth
Who made a delicious fish broth,
And to please Mrs Jones
Who had phobia of bones
He sieved it through layers of cloth!

Missing you greatly with strong desire
New phobia arises with heartache;
On this rock,I build my confidence
Plenty ideas and people tried to dissuade me
As good- time memories flash,and I remain assured.

Fragile
humanity.
Haunted by a world of 
divisive 'isms' and phobia,
Struggling
to find a voice, aching to live.
The gentle embrace of
a child. Sweet hope
takes wing.




*'isms' - things like racism, sexism, consumerism, cannibalism... the list can be extensive.

In the phlebotomy room,
there came a woman
And a man
And their lad
Inquiring, queuing

‘My blood, I give to you;
draw and draw freely,
I have no qualms’
The lad started,
Responding, boasting 

‘Yes, you can draw
by every means you choose
save with this needle!’
The lad protested,
Sobbing, struggling...

The transparent black muslin veils drop,
Macabre tattoo's over her body,
Supple she displays her grisly curves;
Phobia transforms in nude expression.

Slender move yield to new perfection;
Hear her heart beats of satisfaction.

The psychiatrist meddles with the head.

Nutritionists keep us decently fed.

Nurses are very clever,

As are surgeons, however,

The proctologist's probe is met with dread!

You'd embroidered the Inferno
sewn with the thread
of supple beauty,
endowed Ganguria
with philosophical
profundity and great altitude
of enlightenment.
You'd reconciled
an old skirmish
between disdain
and phobia.
O God, you made
Ganguria an ultimate abode
decked with platonic ideal
of love and mosaic complexion...

DUMBSTRUCK

                All on a sudden loud thunderbolt struck
                Our ears! That sound causes phobia
                 on my dearest wife Emilia 
                Promptly she put ear plugs.
                I rushed to give her hugs.
              But road roller running leaving us dumbstruck.

30 seconds
Quick quick
World is quick quick
Fast fast time is running
Decision phobia
But decision in quick time
Another impromto disaster
The style was plan 
and plan was the style
Led the way 
Not think a ping
Flow goes on on
Everything ok
But a step of disaster
Led a disaster
A wrong decision
Played in a 30 second....
