Monophobia

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

Premium Member Big Dog Phobia

I notice you casually crossing to the other sidewalk
sly underhanded glances with your pinched lips ~
a biped's loud silent growl that says don’t come near me

Little Phobia

twinkle twinkle
little star
I know not
how near or far
the horror lies
within these skies
for me
there is
no light 
in the night
only artificial
in sight.

Premium Member Fear of Lightning and Thunder

Astraphobia is alive and well
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.

Premium Member Phobia

Psychological condition
Having a tradition
Of taking a position
By way of petition
In the mental volition
Affecting one’s cognition

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…

Premium Member Cycle of fear

Xenophobes don't approve of strangers.
They dramatize fearing what they don't know.
Prefer cages to overcoming phobias.

Creepy

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.

In a Hotel Room

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

A true story – have had a phobia ever since!

Phobia

you always notice black marks on the floor
checking, in case they scurried with evilness
but don’t look at me, no no no, I double-took 
earlier and to be honest I’d rather carry the 
village church up the stairs wearing flip flops

Exposure-Phobia

you've exposurephobia 
you need it to be over
seeking out the closure
you're fake and you're a poser
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

Premium Member Mr Math

we call him Mr. Math
Arithmetic is his path
itemizing and adding are his fun
counting numbers until day is done

multiplication is his thing
he’ll never buy a diamond ring
figuring taxes is what he likes to do
he does not have math phobia like me and you.

Premium Member Out To Please

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

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.

A Belief In Us

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. 2.12.2016

Needlephobia

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

Seduction

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.

Premium Member Marvelous Medicos!

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!

To Swami Girijatmananda

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.

30seconds

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.

Wetlands

Wasted landscapes without proper tenureship
Evicting the true owners from their habitats
Tensions between the economic and survival
Leached sands, eroded banks of stewardship
Artificial substitutions and the phobia of bats
Nature besieged by ignorance and the political
Denude of forests, wetlands, and pollute the seas
So producers and consumers are soon decease.

Today

i don't feel like writing a love poem
i used to think it's a writer's block
but it ain't
my people are caught up in angst
and trapped in a maze
can't just look and smile
like my president does
they say it's phobia
and there ain't nothing to worry about
but then they steal
and mock at our so called hospitality
i will never write about love
cuz am just not feeling it
today!!

Trans-Phobia

Are you a boy 
Or are you a girl?
Are you human
Or a mural?

Can I manipulate you
Like clay?
Can I warp your sense of logic
By the twisted thoughts I say?

Fearing what I can't explain 
Knowing what I know isn't right
Succumbing to the wave of fright 
Humanity believes is a fight

Logic dictates 
So I must anticipate 
That society won't advance 
Due to the present circumstance.

What if?

What is more painful than pain? 
It’s the anxiety of pain that is to come

The pain of a needle being injected is nothing 
In front of trypanophobia

The pain of poverty, failure is nothing
In front of the phobia that is to come 

What if I won’t succeed, What 
if i am not working in right direction 

What if the effort is not worth the result…
The anxiety is always more than the pain .
