GHOST DANCERS
GHOST DANCERS
Ghost dancing through the night so haunting and so mystical,
ghosts are all around you if you know where to look.
Mysterious ghost ships sail on dark eternal seas forever and ever.
Ghostly figures prance through the dark slender trees on a Winters’
moonlit night.
Maybe one day we too will be ghosts if we die in the right way
but now we can n...

Sparky
I thought I heard a scratching at the door
Familiar scrabbling across the floor
I thought I saw the curtains move and yet..
Do dogs have ghosts I ask myself? – You bet!

NEVER TALK TO A STRANGER
Never talk to a stranger
If you don’t want to be in a danger,
Especially with those
Who speak with a foreign accent.
You will never know what they really meant.
Even if they walk along the Patriarchal ponds
You’ll be , I am sure, conned.
Even if you wear a nice suit
You can be looted
Or hear an outshoot.
Even if they smell the best perfume
They ...

SINFUL SOULS
The ghosts of not repentant souls
Wander in the quiet woods night.
Only chilling cries of owls
Cause the lightest fright.
Flying Dutchman frightens seamen,
Its sight is a portent of doom.
It was told by John Leyden
Sinful souls went to gloom.
Ghosts dwell in the hills.
Climbers know a ghost can kill.
To some they help to cross the river...

ghosties
My daughter used to worry her Dad
It was all about a fear she had
Each night she'd call me up the stair
To exorcise ghosts that were not there
So we had a long chat about ghoulies and stuff
And finally I thought I'd done enough
They don't exist, we'd at last agreed
and for Dad's rescues there was no more need
But then one night, while I was pottering around
a familiar sh...

The Ghosts of Bamiyan
Vast and empty resting places
Sleeping Titans stand no more
Vairocana, Sakyamuni
Dust upon the valley’s floor.
Art and beauty simply rubble
Never more gazed on by Man
But,
Timelessly and still serenely
Walk the Ghosts of Bamiyan.

The Ghosts
How to forget your smell?
How to forget your tender kisses?
Now I want to yell.
Your love my heart misses.
Cruel time didn’t save us, didn’t save.
Gentle breeze blew away our feelings,
Ghost of love came from the grave,
No mercy on me, no healings.
Our years together flowed and flew,
It seemed they would never end.
None of us knew
Th...

Back home
Walked 'round the town where I was born and bred
Places changed, friends gone, some dead,
Fading ghosts of streets that were home to me
Where I'd played as a child, young and fancy-free
The glow of the smiles that used to be
On the faces of friends I knew.
Wraiths of ships built on the river there
Faint echoes of their horns on the misty air
Phant...

by your leave
We walked out together in the morning
but I came back alone.
The mist was heavy.
You had on your best boots
for walking.
You didn’t bring me home.
Ties loosen
as time moves on.
I can spend a day
without a thought for you.
But sometimes
when the mist thickens
I hear your voice.
It never says goodbye.

Visitation (For The Ghost Theme)
It must have been
a suggestion of some
small quality
that attracted you.
Did I talk in my sleep,
ask for you,
ask for your company?
I cannot deny
here you are
beside me,
whether in dream
or day.
to your intensity.
You the appealing
carrier of legend.
underneath,
lives a dragg...

no place like home
Dusk seeps up through marshy ground
Gases bubble, a spooky sound
The owl swoops softly overhead
The bat flies from his foetid bed
But here is where I’d rather be
Not in the house where you haunt me.
The house looks warm and cosy though
Through the doorway I won’t go
Look through the window, you will see
A kitchen homely as can be.
But I know ...

The Fairies in the Backs
When Moses took the tablets
He asked with nervous cough,
“Excuse me, Lord, for saying so,
I think you’ve missed one off”.
Now Moses plays for Leicester,
Renowned for mighty packs,
So said “Thou shalt not give the ball
To Fairies in the Backs”.
And ever since my schooldays
Spent playing tight-head prop
You’d learn to see their fly-half as
A...

Girl in a Lake
on heavy eyes the full moon cast gilded shadows
swan path shafting seductive to the shore where
she dropped her clothes and entered liquid light
jewelled feet icy lustrous pale arms high uplifted
now wide eyes of unwavering clarity enraptured
dream-wooing dream-possessed she sank gleaming
to her knees in the bitter midnight water open palms
thrust upwar...

Ghosts of Rivington Moor
Ghosts of Rivington Moor
On a clear day from this windswept range
your eyes can see as far as the coast
and the mountains of North Wales
in heavy rain they can see little worth talking about
blindfolded by a dismal blanket of cloud
Centuries ago these hills were ablaze
warning of invasion from foreign lands
it’s pike still stands in solitary recogniti...

The Ghost of White Hart Lane
(Here's one I put in the oven before. It'll have to put me on until I fabricate something new.)
His spirit walks the terraces on Saturdays at three;
He's in the breezes blowing and the dust-whirls that you see;
That tingling of your hairline's when he touches you and me;
He's here, son; he's here at White Hart Lane.
Today you'd say he played midfield – in those...

Tainted Wings
Tooth fairy goes bad
after 2 glasses of red,
forgets to collect tooth,
stumbles blindly to her bed.
Tear drop stings taint fragile wings...
