He shall walk among the living
Though by them be unseen
Who has recently left this world
A world that is but a dream
Compared to the eternity
Of the world to which man goes on death
When we pass over to the Unknown
When we breath our last breath.
Somewhere out there upon a hill is a shadow
And another has of him a dream
He rides tonight amon [...]

He Shall Walk Among the Living –...
He shall walk among the living
Though by them be unseen
Who has recently left this world
A world that is but a dream
Compared to the eternity
Of the world to which man goes on death
When we pass over to the Unknown
When we breath our last breath.
Somewhere out there upon a hill is a shadow
And another has of him a dream
He rides tonight amon [...]
Dead Souls And Black Dogs
The little old lady had lived for long,
She was great of age
And the time was coming along
For her to exit life’s stage
But there were those who dwelt beside her
That strange things of her said
She had contact with the other world
And that strange prayers she made
Some they were of her afraid
And were not afraid to say
That when she was dead
[...]
Sitting There Saying Nothing
She sits there saying nothing
A wee woman and her wains
We know not who she is
That sits there with her bains
As the Scots would say if seeing
What my father claims to have seen
That sitting on a wall
In broad daylight had been…
Going to the workhouse
Stopping for a rest a while
A woman and two little ones
And one of the three smile
But just [...]
The Headless Horseman Rides At Night
The headless horseman rides at night
The story the locals tell
From Charleville walls is seen the sight
Of the spectre from hell
And by the barracks wall he gallops fast
The story it is said
Long by the canal and Bond store at last
The Horseman his way he made.
And over the bridge in the nights dark
To the Cemetery it makes its way
And only a [...]
The Hounds of Hells Lake
Barking from its rocky shore
At sailors passing by
Sometimes at the death of day
Sometimes under a noontime sky
The black dog and her starving pups
Haunt this area the locals tell
That’s known to all as Loch Hourn
Otherwise the Lake of Hell
This remote Scottish area
Would make a great landscape
Was said for a thousand years to be
Home for th [...]
Lei Camminava Nuda la Notte
Translation to Italian by Daniela Lyon
Read this poem in French
Original in English
Lei camminava nuda la notte
con tutto cìò che possedeva
con la bellezza donataci da
verso il fiume che si agitava nei pressi
per molte volte negli anni precedenti e sino d’allora
il suo nuotare veniva spiato
da lui, richiamato da lei
e lei gli rispose co [...]
White Hull on a Black Boat
The “Titanic” had its hull painted white so it would show well in photos, which where greyscale at the time, after which it once more was painted the infamous black.
Ready to sail she was set
The fourth funnel to be placed
And men of great importance
In history were to be placed
For all time in a photo
In a picture of black and [...]
Every Night at the Stroke of Midnight
Every night at the stroke of midnight
At the death and birth of day
Spirits evil gather
At the gates of Hell some say
And descend among the living
Havoc among them to set free
But there are the unbelievers
Who think this cannot be.
Oh, but they are fools, and as fools they are
They will find in time to come
That spirits shall enter their worl [...]
The Old Bond Store Ghost
Washing the dirty glasses, all the customers were gone
Finishing up for the night – no, there is still one
Elderly gentleman, who at the counter he sit
No Gardai checking after hours, we’ll let him stay a bit.
No harm he’s doing , the barman employs
Himself to cleaning and tidying, as the old man enjoys
The fruits of a lifes hardship, a last [...]
The Banshee
I hear the cries of sorrow in the cold night air
I know not if they come for here … or there?
And the more I listen, the less I hear
As fast my heart beats with blood-draining fear…
I see a figure in the moonlight pale
Of a woman: aged and frail:
Crying as if all of hers had died – how could it be -
That as at her the more I look she fades un [...]
An Army Lost In Jungle
A jungle chief once went to war
At the head of a hundred men
Through undergrowth thick and dense
And was never seen again.
Stories are told of spirit Gods
That dwell between the trees
And a demon who east men up
Who live in marshes where men sink to their knees
A hundred men and their leader
With drums and battle shout
At break of dawn on a s [...]
Lonely Woman on the Moor
A lonely voice sounds over the moor
On nights dark and cold
A birds cry its not, of that sure
For no bird would be so bold
At this God forsaken time
In this isolated place
Would have reason to climb
In the sky’s darkened face.
But the sound kept sounding
And it was a cry of pain
As if all belonging to her were gone
And only she did rema [...]
