» Poem: My Blennophobia
My Blennophobia
written by Orelinde
02:18 AM 1/26/05
He seemed confident as he passed
walking the gum dappled concrete.
Shivering rumors whisk about
that he sought me to be his match,
and without thought to my recent
curse, which a doctor named Blennophobia,
I took a chance and gave him a second glance.

He did so possess:

A crown filled with naught
but a substance lesser than
crushed fish-bone dessert.
A-topped by slicked back, jet black
feather threads covered and hardened
by a bottle of no-flake gel.

His maw is in a chronic state
of a color more pallid than pink,
(in contrast to white, mind you).
Between those lips he holds
a serpentine tongue which burns.
His 32 nearly square blocks of marble
shine with a astonishing buoyant whiteness;
two are sharpened, to extract blood.

His body was fired in a kiln,
so aptly given the clichéd name
"Hell's Fire." There is no molding to be done
muscles are kept in perfect stipulation.
A body that shows no weakness; no emotion.

But oh! Those ever contemplating
orbs of a tempestuous grey.
They do entice...
I feel inclined to say,
"Yes, yes! I will be yours!"

Those hurricanes flashed
and arched my way.
A prickle on my nape,
goose-bump covered flesh;
His immaculate smirk is received.

Fighting back a cringe my
skin bUrNs and screams,
longing to hide beneath a rock.
Heart tumbles up my throat,
and out sick lips.

A visible shudder,
racks my less than
Appreciated frame.
He spies, and turns
feet falling down; iced,
but it is a CLAMOR to my ears.

Slack jawed; left in awe
HIS Entireness out shines
the Sun which has potential
abilities to obliterate my life.
My breath is turned to lead.

A name is blurted;
(mine I think)
ears ringing; eyes
glued to one spot.
Crushed lungs.
Useless tongue.

"You ought to not frown
it doesn't look good,
on such a pretty face."
Nodding, "I am not
Unblemished." He has a
simple request, "Go out with me."

My gut shrivels up
like a raisin in the
Oh so PERFECT rays
of this boys eminence.
The heavens do vex me.

Cravenly, "No I do not date
lime green gelatin desserts."
He stares, dumbfounded, "What...?"
"I will not date," I say in
sing-song tone "J-E-L-L-O."

My feet execute
fleeing the scene;
leaving the dunderhead
to think things through.
Oxygen is once more my associate.

Ah you lucky people. There is one more stanza but I took it off, I had this on another site but people didn't seem to like the last stanza so I just chopped it off. :D

Oh and Blennophobia = the fear of slime
