Criss-cross the skies in frightful
Flight seeking stray blood....

Frozen to survive
Inside a mummified heart
A seed in slumber
Till enticed by the warm smile
To bloom in front of her eyes...

The fog haunts,
The strobe taunts,
It’s time to start the show,
Pull back the mummified curtain,
Beware of bugs, birds, and black lights,
This is Halloween....

Mummified zombie
Walking down the streets of town
Collection of cats
Scampering alongside him
Threatens all that enter path

feeling mummified
                               someone sucked out your insides
  
                                       you wish you were dead

riding the web
she is a spider
and weaves a web
for the next meal

as trapped in her tangles
you have no chance of escape
she mummified you
for the next meal...

Died in the arms of cruelty                                                
mummified...                                                                                    
rests in peace...

Love
That mummified enigma
Bearing bones and thorns
To all who would taste of its blood

Love
That hideous façade
Which appeals to men
But at its tail dwells tears

Love
Is a biased inferno
Which leaves unsinged a few
And most burnt....

Ancient Egyptians had terrific mummification skills
They practiced on a variety of lesser animals
hippopotamuses, cats, dogs, camels, and apes
there is non-living proof of their talents in their tombs
pharaohs and their queens were also mummified
Their mummification techniques are still admired today...

the pharaohs phallus
          mummified stiff as a board
               tut tut naughty boy

By
David Kavanagh


True story this, when they opened Tutankhamuns 
Sarcophagus, Imagine their bewilderment to 
find King Tut's mummy, and his symbolically 
embalmed erect phallus
Perhaps this is what Lord Carnarvon thought...

The absence of touch attaches itself 
To the narrow whisper of his heart beat. 
Footprints echo in loving embrace 
Of his fathers mummified conscience
There are memories that rise like the sun 
On days when the leaves aren't kept
There are days when the rain won't come
All he wants to do is look outside And see him starring back....

I'm writing my heart out clean tonight; my
Mask only read in your mummified veins;
I join your heart in its breaking's right—
I'd not meant you to be alone; these days.
I still grasp your dawn on me you made.
The hieroglyphics of your world
That never ciphered more a lovely soul—
The feminine Phoenix's winged image
By my heart and yours; though a crashed port—
Do we not still speak the same language...

Mummified body
Scouring on Halloween
Lurks into the night

The bandages falling off
Creepy skin is rotting

There are many treats
Within the old mummies heart
Candy corn inside

The living sweets
Keep the mummy alive
Gives kids their snack 

The black cats keep watch
To guard these candy sweets

People avoid the cats
For fear that bad luck will hit
Mummies love their pets

Wrapped in six yards of white muslin,
banished from her home with a tonsured head,
she faces a curse of loss of colours
ever since her husband was brought in dead.
Mummified for life she still exists
breathing, eating bland food, all desires unfed
Bare feet, she lays herself to sleep
curling up pillowless, on a cold wooden bed
But when she sleeps she often dreams 
of butterflies and blossoms in purple and red....

  "Skeleton Tree"

withered branches wane
buried bones beneath tree trunk
mummified death chant.

legends lifeless limbs
haunted hurricane swallowed
breath of bloom denied.

whispered memories
hidden skeletal remains
infest tainted tree.

brittle branches bough
parched to perish in black dust
screams in effigy.
