I always felt such peace
when I was with her
unlike with anyone else
a pervasive, sweet serenity
that was magical and mystical
she said she often felt
as if she wasn’t of this world
I believe she was right.

Mel’s dog Rover always growled when he
saw Mel’s next door neighbor, Alvin

a harmless looking, friendly guy in his
thirties

one day Mel found Rover dead in his backyard
he was poisoned to death a vet said

three years later Alvin
was arrested and sentenced to

life in prison for the murder of
fifteen women.

The Past Life Regression Hypnotherapist
told him he was a scalawag in one life

a rogue and a horse thief in another

which made sense to him and explained why he
had evolved into a consummate, petty thief in this one.

She was just a lost
little girl ghost
maybe 7 or 8 years old
never making a scary sound
never bothering anyone
just going about her business
searching for something
nobody knows what
perhaps she was just an imprint
a residual image
looping over and over
searching for a parent
brutally taken out of this world
nonetheless whether a real ghost
or just a residual looping image
it was a pitiful sight
seeing this lost, little girl ghost
night after night.

The Russians have implanted neural chips
into the brains of pigeons
to control them like avian drones
with solar-powered devices on their backs
and they may use other birds
like ravens and albatrosses
oh how I hate the thought of this
oh how I hate birds being misused this way
cruel, humane, abusive
and I’ve no doubt many good
Russian people feel the same.

Over 3,500 churches have
been abandoned in Britain
in the last 10 years

some are empty, desolate

some are restaurants and bars
some are swimming pools
some are mosques and gyms

Oh the tragedy, the sadness
the decline of Christianity
the loss of faith
the sacrilege of a house of God
used for a bar

you may disagree, and I don’t care
but I see this as symptomatic
of the UK’s decline

the empire upon which
once the sun never set
reduced to a country
where freedom of speech
now eclipsed by oppression

and the darkness of night
keeps creeping in.

Du fu I salute you
in my opinion
your poetry
is unsurpassed
from the first word
to the last.

Unknown to him,
a vampiress was hunting him
who had claimed over a hundred souls
she had his nighttime patterns down
his favorite haunts
she was closing in on him
on a fortuitous night for her
she caught him getting into his car
after he spent hours in a bar
drunk and indefensible
her cape flowing in the night air
her long fangs bared
her eyes red and aglow
she pounced on him
ready to sink her fangs into his jugular
and suck the blood out of him
at that moment she felt a powerful shock
that shot her off of him
unto the hard ground
and nearly dissolved her
the power of the wooden cross
protectively hung around his neck.

When they become
spiritually evolved
enough
they morph
into potent spiritual
powerhouses
their potent shakti
powerful spiritual energy
emanating out
of them abundantly
permeates everything
their presence
their words spoken
and
written
their videos
their photos
even
their burial sites
some can
feel it
in all of these
ways
some can only
feel it in
the presence
despite how
powerful
how pervasive
it is
some may not
be able to feel
it at all –
surprisingly.

Bob Boyd

A nun in the 18th century
now a headless ghost

beheaded by a mad trapper
or two rouge sailors looking

for gold they thought she
know the location of

if the tales of Saint Marie Inconnue
are true

why would a religious be wandering
in this world instead of in heaven?

unless she was a residual
an imprint of herself headless

a ghostly loop that plays
over and over

despite her not being there
just the appearance what was her

created from the trauma of her being
separated from her head.
