Horse and Carrige

Hi-Test Halloween

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

Headless Horseman

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

Subtle Hell

our world is hell, if where you dwell, pain and suffering is near, no need to go to Satans hell, it's a bit more subtle here... re: "Orphan in the Dock" Harry Horseman by Don Johnson

The White Horseman

He rides alone and conquers all,
he already has so he just sits at home,
waiting for the right time to strike the friendly foe with a perfect smile,
he knows the path he must eternally walk battling evil by which he is stalked

Premium Member You Must Have Been In Sleepy Hollow

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.

Anxiety Attack!

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!!!

Premium Member The Headless Horseman Teaches Again

A cold, creepy Halloween night.
What Katrina found gave her a fright.
It was the head of Ichabod Crane-
Of headless horseman fame.
She waited for him to ride by.
Closed her eyes and held his head way up high.
The next day Crane was back teaching his class.
As if 230 years never passed.

Foreign Foods

indonesian beaches and
days of infinite hunger
drunk and repellent
I am again
there’s no time for fishy flattery
'cause god called a horseman
flogging a dead horse
outlaw of the oscillation nation
playing with matches
by the gas-works
and I have this foreboding
of foreign foods
and fishmonger hooks

Shapur

Subjugator of Rome's eagle 
Hero of the sacred flame 
Able and gentle horseman
Patron of the paraclete 
Upholder of the holy dove
Renowned as the King of Kings

(Poem in honour of Shapur I, who ruled the Sasanian Empire from 240 – 270 AD, known for his religious tolerance and victory over the Roman Empire)

O-ctober flames of pumpkin eyes, stoked.
 C-reepy coldness at our backs. Tales
 T-old with ale — the headless horseman.
 O-ff he rides in the wind.
 B-rr, wind wool scarf ‘round neck.
 E-ars shudder as the narrator says,
“R-est your heads for awhile, friends.”

Premium Member No Sleeping Tonight

Are you set to sleep, if you dare to do so Music starts for no one on this fearful night The pumpkins shine brighter so that we may go Sleeping without an escape plan for tonight The headless horseman comes out for your head now Listen in the deep for the great cat’s meow To bed my little one, to dream land, it’s time You won’t have the saving grace, there’s no lifeline

Premium Member The Fourth Horseman: 4 of 4

The fourth horseman now comes,
in search of your kin.
The suffering is great,
souls scream to the wind.

Number four now strikes,
no remorse and no sin.
He brings death to your door,
do not let him in.

This fourth horse is pale,
there is nowhere to hide.
Nothing can save you,
your wealth nor your pride.

Please don't wait too long,
being stubborn and not see.
You still can be saved,
if in faith you will believe.

The Last Horseman

Saša Milivojev - THE LAST HORSEMAN

 
White, everything is white
The walls are moving
A body in hospital sheets
White horses pull the bed
The soul crawls behind them and begs
White
Around the bed
Angels dance in a circle
The sky sheds its clothes
Give me back my body
To forge my heart
I do not want to travel anymore
Through this endless field
Wrapped in white sheets

Premium Member Misty Night

The autumn leaves scattered along the road
Draw the eyes to a misty foggy night
Blurred in the shadows a scary abode
Too misty for travellers in the night 
Before the daybreak when the mist explodes
Just when thickness surrounds wrapping so tight
There comes forth a gallant horseman to lead
Mortality freed, immortality concede

The 13th Horseman

“Listen to that timber roar.
But deny the musical notes of war.”  The man says

The 13th horseman laughs and replies
“I am the one that rides the night.
Upon my view, even the devil, Hail Mary he recites.
Lust is my personal harlot
It seems even bliss flips in the bosom of my fist, just wish and I shall grant.
For I am the 13th horseman
There is No soul I cannot condemn.
So let us take a journey down this crimson road,
Together. ”

From Robert Frost 'The Road Not Taken';Last Line Verse

Galloping horses shudder the ground as                .....Two
Horsemen  draw lashes, striking forth on               .....Roads
parallel. Dawn appears through trees and roads     .....Diverge 
one to the east, the other south. Horseman  one    .....In
earnest, upon a life depends, carries                     .....A
somber secret, written on                                     .....Yellow
parchment ; on it drawn a nail through hand and    .....Wood

OCD: The End of Me

I pick and scratch and stretch
Mutilate
Infect
Bleed
It drives me, separate
From relief
Akin to hunger.

Manual breathing
Counting
The minutes
The bites
The steps
Call it a quirk
I name it demand.

Addiction
What is an addict…
There is no powder
Or liquid
But still I feel ants under my skin
Until the ritual is complete.

Compulsion is one thing
Obsession another
But when the two meet,
The horseman ride
And I don’t know if the end will come.

Premium Member One Horseshoe

When western winds in my ear sing
The memories of rivers bring
A horseman

Cut of rough land and bronze timber
Surefooted walk, lean and limber
Horsepower

I fumbled where he was at ease
Our hands would touch in flirty tease
Of horseplay

Through golden grass, me and my guy
Galloping free to chase the sky
On horseback

Now, in my city life, I keep
Over my bed, to grace my sleep
One horseshoe.
