regal, tall and elegant....
then they were headless

Wild horses
Pink panthers
Headless chickens
Blue a**ed flies 
Fail to bring meaning
When I'm feeling glum...

tucked against the wind
winter’s game of hide and seek
headless ducks on ice

How I crave to tease these
Cocks with a one tract mind
Like headless chickens 
Blind and deaf to common sense
Clueless, mindless, and pathetic....

There was a headless horseman one day
he was probably a norseman I’d say
they’re caffeine wedded
should drink unleaded 
Dem Norskies get carried away...

The headless horseman
Appears to folk on dark nights
They scream like banshees
The black steed gallops away
Frightened by such loud noises

Large skeletal hand
Holds the great headless horseman’s
Head, a huge carved gourd
A pumpkin that glows within
For all of Halloween night

Fourteen murdered bunnies
Naked, in plain view.
Heads all in a bucket
Staring back at you.

Fourteen headless bunnies
Haunt me in my dreams.
Raising hairs, these hares;
I still hear them scream....

Under the table in the kitchen
lied a headless toy doll
Torn up by the kitten
who had lost his rubber ball
Sometimes I wonder
what memories that toy could recall
Sometimes I wonder
why I wonder at all....

and so our hero, the artist, 
forlorn as his palette, 
then sat down
to reconsider his life
not long having stepped back
from his paintings
only to find all his trees
were blue and his people
headless

Headless horseman came in the dead of night, but he made no sound.
His stallion did though – it neighed and whinnied and twirled around.
You must have been in Sleepy Hollow a relative said.
He is more unimaginative than a skeleton dead....

Grey-robed ladies materialise at castles
Hideous red-eyed entities hover in woods
On horseback, headless riders gallop past
Silently, spectres watch and cause unease 
Throwing objects at exorcists, spirits laugh

steering blatant revelries, ghouls engaged to death
chomping down streetlight openings in bitter stone
bow walled yew tree drifters, steps of many feet in
shallow parade to pew, the kneel cushion's betrayal
- how the shadowless crave… and the headless sing...

Lone walk. Fear the night.
Soft footsteps.. black.. still, spooky.
Fast flutter... Owl hoots.

Neck hairs standing up!
Headless horseman..giddyup!
Eerie pumpkin grins...

Noises behind me...
Closer....hot breath on my neck!!
Beat feet! Run like heck!!!...

Hollow

 

l am hollow

engrossed in complete emptiness

engulfed in a vacant stare   

devoid of any feelings

deprived of many pain

l am hollow 

roaming an ethereal realm

clothed in a vacuum

stumped and headless

running an endless race...

I was once stamped
Stamped by love
In my body's skin
Where the barcode remained
But love escaped
Due to an unknown cause
Aimless I am
Stranded and befogged
Like a headless bird
Unable to find its nest
Peaceless
Tranquillity seems illusory.

If it is red wine 
Jason will dine 
Since it is time 
For the young to have a dirty mind 
Oh brother 
Here comes headless mother 
Looking to kill my lover 
Oh boy am I gonna suffer 
Go to the other 
Cabin and kill another 
While I play a role 
That will make Jason fold...
