Drifter
Suitable log up on my shoulders, time for a run.
Up this mountain cool morning breeze is on.
Sixteen kilometers legs burn.
Respect and pain something you earn.
Throw the log from my shoulders time to lift
Train battery on a cable, the pain a gift.
Hundred twenty kilo rocks pick up throw.
Cold crisp air good for the soul.
Strap to my suv drag across the field.
Stretch again release the stress I build.
Seventy kilo rocks each hand punch
Nintey kilo rock do a few crunch.
Throw a rope in a tree...

without innocence
ghost stories are for frightened children, he said.
the apparition, upon hearing this,
and being unwilling to frighten children, disappeared into the shadows;
the old man went to bed and, with
his grandson no longer present,
it pleased the apparition to
once again enter his fear raddled head.
that’s how it goes

In Father’s Room
The house on Gorton Street had been one of several whose streets led down to the docks in times gone by, labourers’ houses whose doors and windows were flush with the walls so that the buildings looked like great rectangular blocks, with no adornments. The house appeared in black-and-white films, from the days when an MP’s wife warned that we shouldn’t give the working-class coal because they’ll just store it in their bathtubs. Children would play with sticks and hoops and dollies made from socks while women with scarves around their heads called them in, hauled laundry, and brought home...

underground
you get that little puff
of air
as the tube
train doors
open
it’s no wonder they gasp,
the ghosts
who
drag open the doors ..

A Christmas Ghost Story
We live in fear of Santa in this house,
said Mark Abel before the fireplace.
The family ‘stead once used to hunt grouse
had in it arranged a party of six,
observed by nought but a grandfather’s ticks.
‘Twas in the winter’s keep, continued Mark,
when an old fat man was seen on the roof.
Yet gifts were not found, come Xmas Day’s lark,
but in father’s room? The patriarch dead,
a red cap with white trim on his old pale head.
Perhaps this is not, said Mrs Abel,
what we should be hearing tonight. Nonsense!
cried Mark, with a...

Alive in a Ghost Town
Daily zombie parade
death of the social charade
preoccupied ghosts by the score
all neighbors ignored
I can't take it anymore
I want to move to a ghost town
Small town vibe
united tribe
easy to be
a community
historical site
party at night
small mountain town
I'm new life bound
I want to move to a ghost town.
In the town of Jerome
I might finally feel at home
my neighbors would know my name
lack of distractions
lots of local interaction
I think I would thrive
where people...

Shadows
In the morning light I see you
dreaming of ghosts
Nostalgic for days past
you twist under the sheets
holding a last embrace
Kissing the day
awaken to the mists
then fall in place
Restless spirits follow you into the morn
soulful eyes reflect sorrow
Soon will come sleep
and your love will again shimmer
in the shadows
dreaming of ghosts
Nostalgic for days past
you twist under the sheets
holding a last embrace
Kissing the day
awaken to the mists
then fall in place
Restless spirits follow you into the morn
soulful eyes reflect sorrow
Soon will come sleep
and your love will again shimmer
in the shadows

MOMMY DEAREST
Hold me close the weather is cold
The fire died so long ago
Mama, at least you're here with me
And quiet the voices below
Is there a world there at all?
Together we can both fall
Lay me down to sleep and tell me good night
And protect me from all the ghosts and wights
We're in this together
And trapped in this fever
Blurring all the lines between wrong and right - WRONG AND RIGHT
Down at our cabin in the woods
Closet of skeletons, feral
Marked with the madness that they claim
Winter kingdom, sing me carols...

We're in this together
And trapped in this fever
Blurring all the lines between wrong and right - WRONG AND RIGHT
Down at our cabin in the woods
Closet of skeletons, feral
Marked with the madness that they claim

Forbidden Treats
a Halloween tale
It’s been eleven autumns since
the toffee apples made their rounds
and all fell down, with two not getting up
again; the keening sounds
of parents filled the little neighbourhood,
but it’s been more than a decade now,
and trick or treaters must make good
the promise of sweets on Halloween night.
‘After all, McGillicuddy’s dead…’
kids heard their parents say behind doors,
the French teacher still in each head,
the night he went insane and gave
the apples a stench of bitter almonds,
ushering boys...

For One, A Possible Ghostly Encounter On The Road
Gabriel was on
his way home
from a fishing
trip before he spotted
a teenage girl walking
naked on the road but
when he stopped and got out, she was gone.

BEFORE DAWN THERE WAS A CROW
Have you ever tried to sleep yet your thoughts and your imagination, begins to run wild within the chambers of your mind.🤔 For it seems that the subconscious of your mind is running in over drive, taking total control of your mental abilities making it so hard to just THINK JUST TO ESCAPE.😞 This plan just might not work as you planned it would, yet is it still worth the risk to be able to relax your mind.To replace the process of the illusions with charity and understanding 🤔 For even now more than anything else specification is a warranty to maybe just before the...
