My shower puff is
a news phobic.

I am pan-phobic,
but can also be phonic
when not in panic....

There was a shrink whose name was Pink
he loved to read and in books sink
A virus phobic case
at night went to his place
The shrink in sink searching a link....

I cherish your dreary safe house; I share your cover trick. 
The nightfall apparition is unmistakably pitiful, not majestic. 
Alone, yet not the only one, I walk around my sorrow phobic 
Almost when a heron offers a final chance, it is laded with panic.
The maelstrom witch hurls an illuminated usurper mystic.

SAFE LANDING

time moves forward
I feel content
roads are foreign
in this place of heat
and perfection

life rolls realigned
keeping pace I
expand outward
daring the unknown
phobic entities

days are long
nights bring rest
and regrets
in dreams of the
subconscious mind

freedom comes
in the eloquent
perception
aware
that this is a 
safe
landing

I've never learned to change a tire.
It's not a skill I wish to acquire.
If stuck I'm always going to hire..
Also, can't change my car's oil,
perhaps I was a bit spoiled.
Cooking I botch, even with foil..
Couldn't dance til I took aerobics.
I've always been math a phobic.
Don't have the patience to be stoic..
There's just one skill I'd like to hone,
speak Chinese on the phone, so
telemarketer's will leave me alone......

HYDROPHOBIC

This man was from desert Arabic,
had child’s mind behind face cherubic.
As an adult he was free,
but never went to the sea,
for he was born a hydrophobic.

When needed to cross the Atlantic
by ship, he sank in bout of panic.
Lost faith in fate he could find,
mastered strength in phobic mind,
for the ship was not the Titanic.

There she arrives
Playing drives 
In a blue dress 
Forces me to confess 
She looked pretty 
And charm carrying hefty 
With eyes covered with specks 
And orders on the decks 
Carrying a smile of dove 
Any one can fall in love 
I gathered my heart 
And played my part 
Speaking polite 
And phobic towards the light 
Her hair waving in air 
And her skin defining fair 
The magic of the top 
In my heart got pop
I was all smiling inside 
While all the time sitting her beside...
