Poem – A Little Thing Called ‘Fear’

Fear,

The lovechild of stress and caution.

An unwelcome neighbour,

Making itself at home in your delusion.

It’s intentions  – unclear.

It picks it’s moments,

Most uncalled for.

Like lying in your bed and hearing the front door become ajar.

Or hearing your name whispered very softly from afar.

Fear,

It’s a teaseful breed.

Unlike lust and greed, for it, we have no need.

Or do we?
